These are some new photos of Katy Perry during her first post-split red carpet appearance on Friday, in Las Vegas. The dude that she?s hanging on is Markus Molinari, a jewelry designer and one of the hosts of the charity event, which benefited Haitian earthquake victims. Bedhead has been covering a lot of Katy Perry news lately, including Friday?s story about Katy?s alleged cocaine use, and how that cocaine-soaked party lifestyle is one of the big reasons why Katy and Russell Brand split up. God knows if it?s true, but it has been interesting to see which stories Camp Brand and Camp Perry have been pushing in the media – it feels like both of them really want to come out of this divorce with public sympathy on their side. So, I guess it?s pretty smart for Katy to make her first red carpet appearance for charity, and to be notably ?quiet? at the event:
Back in the United States to see friends and support a charity, Katy Perry strolled down a red carpet for the first time since her split with Russell Brand.
The singer rocked her blue hair and donned a cocktail dress with metal studs at the overnight Friday event for Givelove.org, which provides sustainable low-income solutions Haiti earthquake victims.
Markus Molinari, a designer for J. Molinari Jewelry, told PEOPLE that Perry was doing “amazing” and she was in town to support his cause because “that’s what friends do.”
At the event at the 1 OAK club in the Mirage Hotel, Perry hung out in a VIP booth and watched her pal Ferras perform.
“She was really tame,” a source said. “She was really just drinking a few drinks and chilling with her friends.”
Earlier, Perry went to Stack restaurant, joining a table of 18 and dining on steak, seafood and red wine and listening to another performance by Ferras on the piano. Perry was seen clapping, cheering and swinging a napkin the air.
The singer is back from doing shows in the Philippines and Indonesia.

Obviously, Katy and Russell will both ?bounce back? after the divorce. My prediction for Russell is a series of random, Gerard-Butler-style hookups with any girl that will have him, followed by a second marriage with someone on the sobriety track. Unfortunately, I think Katy is going to spend some time post-divorce spiraling out of control. Before she and Russell even split up, she announced that she was going to take some time off – I think she?s going to spend the next year partying, getting wasted and making some really bad decisions. We?ll see, though.
Oh, and Paris Hilton was at this event too – I?m including photos of her because A) Katy and Paris Hilton at the same event says a lot about the event and B) Look at Paris?s wonk eye!!!!!!!

Mark my words — the speculation over the demise of Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s marriage will last longer than the 14-month marriage itself. We’ve already heard many theories about the divorce, which range from Katy’s refusal to start a family to Russell’s overwhelming demand for wheelchair pr0n, and it’s all a bit exhausting. If only half of the stories that’ve come out are true, well, it’s rather unbelievable that Katy and Russell ever got married in the first place. This week, we’ve got a story from Star that claims to have “the real reason” for the split, which relies heavily upon the Hawaiian beach vacation that ruined Christmas. Star alleges that when Russell found out what occurred in Hawaii, he was finished with Katy for good:
Russell Brand may be the recovering addict, but it’s Katy Perry’s exposure to hard drugs and all-night partying that doomed their marriage. Amid reports of cheating, fighting and a fading romance, Star has discovered the shocking reason that [the couple] split a little more than a year after their wedding in India.
Russell, a recovering drug addict, “hit the roof,” says a source, when he found out exactly what was going on in Hawaii. “Katy runs with a really wild crowd,” an insider tells Star. Some of her acquaintances love to do cocaine. “They will party all night till the sun comes up, doing line after line of coke.”
According to pals, Russell felt he had no choice but to instruct his lawyers to put a swift end to the marriage. “How is Russell supposed to feel when he hears that his wife is out till all hours of the night,” says the insider. “He can only assume the worst.” And even though the singer wasn’t doing drugs herself, the source feels it showed really bad judgment. “Ruseell was a truly horrible addict. It’s a day-by-day struggle for him to stay sober and walk the right path now,” says the insider. “He’s really turned his life around, and he couldn’t let it be destroyed.”
Katy apepars to have had a long and complicated history with drugs. Although her parents [are] strict evangelical Christians, she revealed in 2009 that even they weren’t always on the straight and narrow. In fact her mom was, in Katy’s words, a “wild child rock ‘n’ roller, pot-smoking debutante,” and her dad was an “acid dealer with long hair.”
There’s no doubt that Katy was exposed to it all, even then. Her Gym Class Heroes singer ex, Travie McCoy, acknowledged his own addiciton and blogged about being in rehab. And a source claims he was a really bad influence on her. “Katy was really struggling when she was with him.” But “she promised her dad she would stay clean.”
Accordng to another insider, Russell saw changes in his wife over the past year. “She went from this sweet, adorable woman that he was madly in love with” to a needy person who surrounded herself with hangers-on who were using her, says an insider. And her behavior was getting increasingly erratic. “She’d throw back tequila shots, chain smoke… and have mood swings. He gave her an ultimatum: ‘Get rid of your hard-partying friends or lose me forever!’” It looks as if Katy made her choice.
[From Star, print edition, February 6. 2012]
Out of all of the tales thus far, this one speaks loudest about what we already knew was a problem in the marriage. That is, Katy really didn’t see the big deal in bragging about being wasted while her husband struggles daily with sobriety. It really speaks to her insensitivity and immaturity, and it sounds like Russell needed to get away for his own good.
Meanwhile, Us Weekly has a new story about Russell’s new single life in L.A., which is turning out to be quite the opposite of his “Lonely in London” routine. Apparently, Russell is already scoring all of the fly tail, but Us wants us to also believe that he’s spilling everything about his marriage to these random chicks:
Less than one month after filing to divorce wife of 14 months Katy Perry, Russell Brand has moved on.
The latest issue of Us Weekly (out Friday) has new details about the Brit comic’s bevy of new beauties, who have incensed his soon-to-be ex-wife Perry, 27.
“She discovered through her friends,” an insider tells Us of how Perry found out about 36-year-old Brand’s wandering eye. “One of the women told a friend of hers and it got back to Katy.”
And the Rock of Ages actor’s new ladies aren’t the only ones doing the talking. Brand — who blindsided Perry by filing for divorce December 30 — has been trashing her to his conquests.
“He’s spoken terribly about Katy to them,” the source says of Brand, who has sought out one particular woman to “explore a relationship” with. “[Russell] told her he wanted her to move in with him after the divorce is final,” confirmed the insider.
[From Us Weekly]
I don’t believe for a moment that Russell is already asking some chick to move in with him when the divorce finally goes through. Naturally, he’s probably shagging like crazy, and maybe he’s handing out some good lines to these chicks, but Russell clearly has no intentions of shacking up and getting serious with anyone in the near future. That would totally ruin the “lonely” image he’s worked so hard to project over the past month or so. The Mail has a bird’s eye and interior views of Russell’s new $1.9 million house, and it is a true “bachelor pad” with all of the trimmings. I doubt he will tie himself down while living there.
Now is Russell actually talking smack about Katy to his latest sexual conquests? The Us story really provides no details of what these women allegedly heard, and I really don’t think he’d be that insensitive to gossip about her at this stage while everything is still so raw. Sure, he might end up revealing certain tidbits in an upcoming book, but at this point, Russell is probably just getting laid, and I doubt he’s doing much talking about anything in the process.

Carrying about her business in the midst of her marriage woes, Katy Perry was spotted arriving to the Los Angeles International Airport on Monday (January 16).
The ?I Kissed a Girl? songstress showed off her slim figure in a darling patterned dress and heels as she and her entourage sauntered into the airport.
Still sporting her new blue ?do, Ms Perry has ditched her wedding ring and seemed to be in good spirits despite her recent decision to end her marriage to Russell Brand.
Meanwhile, her ?Get Him to the Greek? ex recently flew across the pond from his native London to Los Angeles to promote his new FX show, ?Strangely Uplifting.?

Looks like Katy Perry’s gotten over the whole marriage to Russell Brand thing. According to US Weekly, Perry is “all about moving on now”.
How polite of US Weekly. They should’ve just said she’s ready to bang. Brand and Perry’s marriage lasted 14 months, which appears to be the time for the novelty of double D’s to wear off.

It’s the divorce that just won’t die, y’all. Until Katy Perry and Russell Brand both make comprehensive and unequivocal statements about their split (and who could honestly expect them to do so?), the rumors will only continue despite the fact that Katy herself has recently insisted to everyone that no one speaks for her (not even her family). Nice try, but people will talk, including her family.
So let’s do a quick recap of the latest updates. Moving vans have been spotted toting Russell’s belongings from he and Katy’s home to a very large house in Beverly Hills that is understood to be his new home. Likewise, Katy is said to have moved from the couple’s house as well into a new $1.9 million pad in the Los Feliz area. Katy has also reportedly been hiding out in Santa Barbara at her grandmother’s house because “Katy always runs to her granny when she’s in trouble. She’s been giving Katy a real dose of family love and strong advice about how to heal a broken heart.” Presumably, Katy also chose grandma because she won’t be running to the press like a certain set of parents.
In addition, a story that originated with Bang Showbiz reports that Katy knew nothing of Russell’s plans before he filed for divorce and thought their issues were down to “normal couple problems.” You know, normal stuff that isn’t wheelchair pr0n or strategic wedding ring removal. Now, In Touch is reporting that Katy has found her way back to the power of prayer, and she’s asking God to bring back Russell. Are the tabloids just getting lazy?
Katy prays for Russell to come back!
She turns to God in a last-ditch effort to save her marriage.
The family that prays together stays together — at least that’s what singer Katy Perry and her evangelical minister parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, are hoping. While many jilted brides would just tell their husbands to go to hell, Katy, who grew up in a devout Christian household, believes divine intervention could save her 14-month marriage to Russell Brand, 36. “Katy has said that she will do anything for a second shot,” reveals an insider close to the Hudsons.
All this despite the fact that over the course of their relationship, Katy, 27, grew increasingly frustrated by Russell’s wandering eye. Still, she’s willing to overlook her hubby’s major shortcomings. “You’ve got to be loving, bcause it is the love of God that draws anybody to change their mind,” Katy’s mom insists of her son-in-law’s decision to file for divorce. Although Russell was [the one who filed] for divorce, the insider says Katy’s family “isn’t blaming him.” And if there’s no last-minute miracle? “I’m going to be there for Katy no matter what, just like Jesus is there for us, no matter what,” reassures her dad.
[From In Touch, print edition, January 23, 2012]
Yeah, this story is crap and probably planted by Katy’s parents just like the hopeful Tim Tebow romance. If Katy’s smart, she’ll take awhile to get over the shock and hurt of divorce before pulling a JLo and hopping immediately back into a relationship. When Katy’s ready, there’ll no doubt be very little shortage of waiting candidates for their turn on the Perry Pony Ride. Even Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he’s got a major crush on Katy, but I don’t think he’s really her type. Daniel is far too nice.
By the way, these aren’t new photos of Katy. I just wanted to dig up some 2010 award show pictures to mix things up a bit since she’s been out of the public eye since the split.

Anyone ready for a new rumor about Katy Perry getting a new quickie boyfriend to get over her divorce Russell Brand? Well, here’s a really random one. Of course, it’s not entirely random because it would make total sense for Katy to date the dude in question — if it wasn’t merely two weeks after Russell filed divorce papers. Not even I can believe that Katy would move that fast.
Regardless of common sense, a new story (which originated in OK! Magazine) pushes the theory that Katy is now looking to get busy with Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Like I said before, this match would ordinarily make a lot of sense. Both Katy and Tim both grew up in a very controlled religious environment (beyond football, Tebow’s also famous for being the inspiration behind the Tebow Bill, which is still pending but would allow homeschooled athletes to play for their district teams) and find themselves in the midst of inexplicable fame (yeah, I went there). Yes, this story is probably absolute nonsense, but it makes some sense in theory, so that’s probably why OK! is probably running with it. Naturally, Katy’s sketchy parents are said to approve of this newfound match as well.
Katy and Tim are scheduled to meet at her hometown church where she used to sing! Will it be love at first sight?
Katy Perry’s split from Russell Brand, 36, may still Sting for the 27-year-old, but she’s wasting no time moving on and her parents – Keith and Mary Hudson – are 100 percent on her side. They’re even going as far as trying to set their daughter up with the Denver Broncos starting quarterback, Tim Tebow!
“[Katy's] mentioned on more than one occasion how much she likes Tim,” a source tells OK! magazine.”Katy’s mom firmly believes the best cure for heartache is to quickly fall in love again … In her mind, Tebow is the perfect guy for her daughter. He’s handsome, charming, intelligent and above all, a good Christian.”
Katy’s parents have gone as far as inviting Tim to speak at the church Katy used to sing at in Huntington Beach, Calif. Of course – when Katy will be there!
[From Hollywood Life]
Sure, I’ll believe that Katy will be the first one to move on, publicly at least. Who knows, Russell might already be shagging random babes, but he probably has at least enough decency to keep things under wraps for the immediate future. If and when Katy starts getting hot and heavy with a new guy, she’ll be shoving it down our collective throats.
However (and I could be wrong), I just cannot buy that Katy is moving on already. If she’s thinking about hooking up with Tebow to make Russell jealous, well, that won’t work at all. Look at what happened the last time she tried to call Russell’s bluff. He filed for divorce. And since Katy’s still reportedly looking to patch things up (she’s even supposedly called off her latest public appearance to that effect), this story just doesn’t wash … if for no other reason than that Tebow would (theoretically) be quite keen to start a family with any future lady love. And Katy don’t play that game, right?
Still, Tim Tebow is kind of cute. I’d probably go there.

When Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy Perry on Dec. 30, many people assumed that the long pop cultural nightmare was over. No such luck. Instead, we’ve had to endure an endless dissection of their presumed relationship issues, which include Katy allegedly eschewing motherhood, Russell’s alleged wheelchair fetish, and a bunch of crap from last week’s tabloids. Now the blame game seems to have slowed to a dribble, and the pair are looking towards their own respective separate futures. On an immediate note, the Mail is reporting that organizers of this week’s People Choice Awards have “unceremoniously uninvited” Russell from the ceremony so as to avoid a potential showdown (as if) on the red carpet and not disturb “Katy’s big night” in her lead up to the Grammys. Something tells me that Russell (a.k.a., “Lonely in London“) isn’t too terribly torn up about this turn of events. Hell, this awards show probably wasn’t even on his radar.
In other Katy news, I’m actually starting to feel a bit of pity for her in one regard, which is that her parents are clearly using this divorce (just like the rest of Katy’s career) for their own financial advantage:
Katy Perry’s religious parents have managed to see something positive in the breakdown of their daughter’s one year marriage. The pair spoke about their daughter’s divorce for the first time – from the pulpit of their evangelical church, which was unusually packed it seems.
Pastors Keith and Mary Hudson were seen taking to the stage to speak out about their famous daughter and the audience appeared captivated. The ministers suggested her split with Russell Brand was a gift sent by God – to help them fill churches.
Mary, 63, preached to the Church on the Rise congregation in Westlake, Ohio: “I’m sure that Katy’s trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight. I mean all over the world, who knows how God is bringing them in? The most important thing is you are here and God wants to put the fire in you in 2012.”
Mary was dressed in an all black ensemble with over the knee bots and a black jumper which she accessorised with a chunky silver necklace. She and husband Keith, 63, billed themselves as “Katy Perry’s parents” in marketing materials for the event, reported CNN. They spoke for about 90 minutes to 300 worshippers in the first service since Katy’s split with the comedian on Friday. A video was shown before the Hudsons took the stage in Ohio showed them at award shows with Katy.
Keith told the crowd he converted from a drug user to a Christian when he was 24 years old. He added that his daughter’s success had helped the couple share their beliefs with Hollywood superstars. “What has taken place in my daughter’s life has opened many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people. God has given us a platform to go in and meet people — and they like us because we are cool. We are not threatening.
“I love my daughter and I will always love her. Stop being judgmental and critical. Do not close the doors to your loved ones, especially your children. Just because they do not like what you do or what you are, they are still praying that you stay in the race. They are counting on you. I believe in God, for every one of my children.”
[From Daily Mail]
In response, Katy has taken to her Twitter account not only thank her fans for their support but also to dress down her family for talking out of school without permission:
I certainly can’t blame Katy for being so irritated with her parents, who have seen their own fortunes rise along with Katy’s career. It’s rather sickening that they have no problem exploiting their daughter’s personal life for their own financial gains, but this has been an ongoing problem with Katy’s family. Will they actually listen to their daughter this time? Probably not.

Katy Perry was not blindsided by Russell Brand’s divorce filing as TMZ previously assumed. Sources now say Katy and Russell knew this was coming a couple months ago but didn’t want to end the marriage without seeing if they could work things out. Clearly, that failed.
Katy and Russell decided on the divorce a few weeks ago but didn’t want to be in town when the papers were filed so they booked separate vacations. And since Katy’s parents are evangelical Christians, she didn’t want to be the one to file because she was taught divorce is wrong. Much like championing two chicks making out is wrong. Oh… wait.

Late Friday afternoon (here on the East Coast), People Magazine broke the news that Russell Brand had filed for divorce from his wife of 14 months, Katy Perry. This news was not shocking to most of us. Personally, the only shocking thing was that they made it past a year. They were rarely together – Katy was always on tour, Russell was always?? Hanging out with his sober friends, I suppose, and working on movies. Russell and Katy spent the last months of their marriage claiming that they were fine, that they were fully committed to each other, that everything was rosy. Katy even said she was taking a year off, and some thought she was going to try to have a ?band-aid baby? to fix the marriage. In the end though, it played out just as expected. And now comes the post-game analysis, the ?WHY? of the breakup, as explained by various sources.
Sources close to Katy Perry and Russell Brand tell TMZ … the couple was infatuated with each other when they tied the knot, but the honeymoon ended very quickly. According to our sources, Katy and Russell were initially head over heels for each other ? each fascinated to be with someone who was an extreme opposite.
But we’re told the two began a regime of constant bickering after they got married — often in front of people at clubs and awards shows. They’re both very stubborn and neither would easily back down.
Our sources tell us … because of the friction and their schedules …they never spent long periods of time with each other.
One big bone of contention … Russell was much more of a homebody than Katy. Katy loved going out and partying, while Russell (who is sober) didn’t enjoy the scene at all. We’re told he would often insist on leaving places early and asking her to come with … which would trigger an argument.
But we’re told … as the dust settles, neither hates the other — far from it. There’s no bad blood between them, and neither of them believes the other cheated.
As one person put it, “It was just a bad pairing.”
[From TMZ]
I believe that Russell?s sobriety and more low-key lifestyle definitely played a part, especially compared to Katy?s rock star lifestyle. But I think I?d also attribute some of that to Katy?s youth too – she?s 27 years old? 27 going on 14, it seems. And Russell is nearly a decade older, but he?s already lived a full life of addiction and sexual escapades, and he?s done with it? sort of. But I really do wonder if he was screwing around on Katy. I think he probably was. Old dogs, etc.
Anyway, TMZ had another story about why Russell was the one to file for divorce – something about Katy?s parents and religion? blah:
Katy Perry WANTED Russell Brand to file the court papers in their divorce … because she didn’t want to upset her religious parents … sources connected to the former couple tell TMZ.
We’re told … Katy and Russell knew the relationship was on the rocks a couple of months ago — but didn’t want to give up on the marriage without making a concerted effort to work things out. But the effort fell flat … with both sides feeling “it just wasn’t there.”
We’re told both Katy and Russell were on board with the divorce a few weeks ago — but they didn’t want to be in town when the papers were filed … so he went back to England and she booked it to Hawaii.
Since Katy’s parents are evangelical Christians, we’re told she didn’t want to be the one to “officially” end the marriage by filing the docs … since she was raised to believe divorce is wrong.
After he filed the docs, Russell released a statement Friday insisting the two will “remain friends.”
[From TMZ]
So, Katy was raised to believe that ?divorce is wrong,? but her super-religious parents won?t mind because their daughter wasn?t the one to file? What kind of BS technicality is that?
Oh, and Russell could make tens of millions of dollars off of the divorce too – half of Katy?s earnings, because there was no prenup. Sigh? I hope they don?t fight about money. I doubt they will.

Well, I totally didn’t see this coming. Russell Brand and Katy Perry are calling it quits after a little more than one year together. Granted, in Hollywood years, that’s like the equivalent to at least 5. Says TMZ,
Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry … TMZ has learned.
In the docs, filed in L.A., Brand cites “irreconcilable differences.” The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India. They have no kids.
The divorce docs say there are “community property assets” — it’s a sign there might not be a prenup, or if there is one it doesn’t cover all of the earnings and other assets they accumulated.
The docs do not give a date the couple separated.
Russell has released a statement, claiming, “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”
Russell proposed to Katy in India on New Year’s Eve 2009 — nearly two years ago … to the day.
Sources had told TMZ the couple was having problems, evidenced by the fact that they spent Christmas apart and neither was wearing a wedding ring.
Although it’s not 100%, based on what we now know it appears Brand may have blindsided Perry by filing the divorce petition.
Russell appeared on “Ellen” just this month, slamming divorce rumors — claiming, “I’m really happily married … I?m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I?m still alive.”
So judging from what he said, Russell Brand is now a walker, and the zombie apocalypse is upon us. That’s okay, I’ve been stockpiling rations and guns in my mom’s basement for the past 5 years. I’m good to go.
Kate Moss looking a lot better than she has in a long time:
