Katy Perry sparkles at Aussie premiere

Deafening screams and singing have greeted glittering pop star Katy Perry at the Australian premiere of her new movie documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me. Hundreds of Perry fans, known as KatyCats, turned out to see the singer at the pink carpet premiere in Sydney on Saturday and Perry didn't let them down, spending time signing autographs and posing for photos. Some of her fans dressed up for the occasion, wearing blue wigs or cat ears, while the singer herself sparkled in a gold sequinned Versace dress and silver Christian Louboutin heels. Perry told AAP earlier she loves Australia and her fans both here and in New Zealand have always been so supportive. "I wanted to go to a couple of special places to do premieres and Australia definitely was going to be one of them just because everyone's been so lovely to me," she says. "I feel like I'm indebted to Australia." At the premiere, her fans showed their support by breaking into renditions of hit songs lik

Katy Perry has revealed that she has "learnt a lot" over the past year, but still hasn't forgiven Russell Brand for the breakdown of their marriage. The popstar told The Mirror that she has not given up on love or British men, despite the pain of her divorce. Perry said: "I'm moving forward one step at a time. It was a year I'll never be able to recreate. It had amazing highs and some big lows, but that's life. "I've learnt I'm in a very modern fairytale but I also know I don't need the Prince Charming to have a happy ending." However, the 'California Gurls' singer added: "I still believe in love, most definitely. [And] I still like London boys", before clarifying: "Except one." Perry has consistently defended her decision to keep footage filmed during the split in her documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me .

Katy Perry believes she has split personality

Katy Perry feels she has a split personality. The 'Firework' hitmaker admits her outrageous outfit choices reflect her moods at the time and says that is why her creations are sometimes bizarre because she feels a mixture of emotions. She explained: "My sense of style is like one of those things that change colour with mood, always evolving. "When I get up, I choose my outfit depending on my state of mind. If it is a 'mixture of many things' it is because I feel many different emotions at the same time, to the point where you feel you almost have a split personality. "Basically, in the past, my preferences were always directed towards styles that were daring; the flashier, shinier and imposing the dress the better, this is the reason why I still love the work of Jean Charles de Castelbajac and Jeremy Scott." The 27-year-old pop star is a big fan of Madonna and she admires the way the Queen of Pop constantly reinvents herself. Katy hopes to be able to

Perrys fairy tale romance dissolves onscreen

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. Things arent all dreamy in Katy Perrys new 3D concert film. The pop stars energetic Day-Glo performances and chart success tying Michael Jacksons Bad with five No. 1 singles from her album Teenage Dream are undercut by heartbreak. She sobs uncontrollably backstage as her marriage to Russell Brand falls apart during her world tour, and talks about her dashed desire for fairy tale romance. Perry co-produced Katy Perry: Part of Me and is now promoting it with the same energy she gave to the year-long California Dreams tour it documents. Like Justin Biebers Never Say Never, the movie crosscuts between concert footage and biography. It includes interviews with Perrys friends, assistant, manager, makeup artist, Christian evangelical parents, and plenty of fans. Brand is on screen in several scenes but his presence is reduced by the end mostly to phone and text messages. In an interview, Perry spoke about sharing her side of the breakup onscreen, leaning on her fans as a

Katy Perry partied with Robert Pattinson, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

After attending the screening of 'Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D' in Hollywood, the group met up at the infamous Chateau Marmont hotel on Tuesday (26.06.12). The group then travelled in Justin's $200,000 Mercedes Benz minivan to celebrate the opening of David Arquette's new nightclub, Bootsy Bellows. Despite 18-year-old Justin and 19-year-old Selena being under the legal drinking age in America, the couple enjoyed the evening out with 26-year-old Robert and 27-year-old Katy. A source told UsMagazine.com: "Rob and Katy are good friends so he was happy to celebrate with her, it wasn't just the four of them, but everyone was close." Apparently 'Twilight' actor Robert has been keeping in touch with pop star Katy after her divorce from Russell Brand last December. The insider said: "He's just checking in on her. It's not romantic at all. They're friends." His girlfriend and co-star in the vampire movies, Kristen Stewart, was unable to j

Katy Perry to retreat from spotlight

Katy Perry is planning to go into 'major hiding'. The 'Wide Awake' singer - who split from husband Russell Brand in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage - wants to take a break from the limelight after promoting her new film, 'Katy Perry: Part Of Me', though she has no idea where she will go. Katy said: 'I'm going to go into major hiding. I think I'll have to after this movie comes out. 'I am going to get a globe and spin it and point my finger at a place and then head there. 'I have always wanted to do that since I was a little kid.' The hardworking star reportedly also told her entourage that she needs an 'extended break' from her career as she 'needs to let her heart heal'. Katy, 27, embarked on a gruelling year-long 'California Dreams' world tour last year, playing 124 shows across the globe. She has struggled to find time to deal with her split from funnyman Russell, 36, after the British comedian filed f

Katy Perry wants to 'go the f*ck away?' Maybe we can help her with that

"I'm going into hiding," Perry pledged at the pink-carpet premiere of Katy Perry: Part of Me, Tuesday night in Hollywood. "I want to go and write songs in the woods or something," she explained to MTV News. "I'm gonna unplug, take my hair extensions out, feel my head again. I'm gonna unplug and recharge, if that makes any sense," she continued. "I'm gonna go away. I'm sure you know it's time for me to go the f*ck away." Whether or not you agree, one hopes she doesn't take a cue from the "Part of Me" video. Still, who knows whether Perry will stick to her word. Sleep is for the dead, after all, not pop superstars. And writing songs in the woods? Leave that to Bon Iver. Still, if Perry's planning to disappear into the wilds, what's going to happen to all the crazy crap she'll leave behind? We've come up with a few suggestions. After all: Katy Cat is clearly uber-busy these days. Anything to help

17:19, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 Katy Perry reveals in her new 3D concert movie Part Of Me that she 'did everything' to save her marriage to funnyman, Russell Brand . Ever since news of their split emerged in December last year, K-Pez has remained relatively quiet, but now for the first time, the 27-year old has started to open up about the breakdown of her 14-month marriage . The film picks up just a few months after the two tied the knot, as Perry embarks on her biggest tour to date, the California Dreams Tour .
