 "Be yourself and you can be anything."

Hey cats and kittens, have you seen this? There’s a brand new cotton candy-colored poster for Katy Perry’s concert movie, Katy Perry: Part of Me., Did you know it's in 3D.  Yes, that’s right, it’s in 3D. Perry herself has promised spectacular special effects. “The word 'cheap' was not in the vocabulary. Hello — it's 3D. You're going to get hit with a lot of sh–."

Judging from the trailer, which you can view below, you’ll also get some long looks at her early fundamentalist Christian upbringing as well as her relationship with (or at least the subsequent divorce from) Russell Brand in between the singer’s greatest hits. I’ve got that damn Baby You’re a Firework song stuck in my head again now.

I suspect the real Katy Perry (real name Katy Hudson) is pretty shy and guarded and trying to find her place in the world. (The title is after all, "Part" of Me) The costumes and brightly colored hair are disguises to hide behind. (Not exactly a new concept). The tagline “Be yourself and you can be anything”, however,  is not a bad message to be sharing with her legions of teen and tween-age fans.  She’s smart and hard-working, also not traits we should be afraid to show the kids. Who cares what color her hair is?

Katy Perry: Part of Me opens in the US and the UK on July 3 (opposite The Amazing Spider-Man. Now that’s some balls.)

Russell Brand keeps it classy appearing on Ellen DeGeneres to promote his latest movie Rock of Ages when asked about Katy Perry:

 "I still love her as a human being, but, sometimes when you're in a relationship, I suppose it doesn't work out.

"That doesn't mean I regret it or anything. I was very happy to be married with her. She's such a beautiful human being and I just have only love and positivity for her… That is still a person I still consider to be beautiful and I have nothing but positivity for her."

Brand 36 and Perry 27, were married for 14 months when he filed for divorce on December 30, 2011. Say what you will about him, but this guy is total class. He has never once said anything negative about her or about their time together. No mud-slinging here.

Ellen then brings out sisters Sophia Grace and Rosie who also hail from Brand's hometown of Essex, and the three of them sit on the couch together and just have a blast. You can really see how fabulous he is with kids. Of the two girls Sophia is the wild one but in the sweetest way. Check out the video!

You know, when I heard those rumors that Russell Brand sent Katy Perry an email after he saw her at the 2012 Coachella with that dude from that band, I KNEW they were not true. I mean, come on. This is a man who is stone-cold sober and knows what he's doing. 

Today we acknowledge that there is no way in hell he is begging her to come back or that filing for divorce was the biggest mistake of his life: he has unfollowed her on Twitter. Is there any other proof required? That's right, there's not. If you ever need questions answered people, turn to social media. It's there. It might be subtle, but it's there.

Mind you, IF those email rumors are true (and we know they aren't) maybe she rejected him and he said screw you! Or maybe it just freaking occurred to him that he hadn't unfollowed her ass.

Either way: my plan is coming together. He will be mine. Oh yes, he will be mine. Send condoms. Thank you.

Katy Perry hit up 2012 Coachella Music Festival yesterday for Day 3 of Week 2 of festivities and she did it with a huge statement: she is OVER Russell Brand. The two were married for 14 months when he blindsided her (or not) by filing for divorce on December 30, 2011.

The Teenage Dreams singer attended the event with her new boyfriend 'Florence and the Machine' guitarist Robert Ackroyd where they didn't hold back and were seen kissing and hugging.

They attended last weekend's festival where they were seen holding hands but she could have just been leading him through the crowd, right? Wrong. These two are definitely an item.

Perhaps there really is nothing to those stories that Katy Perry wants to win Russell Brand's heart back because here's a picture of her and her 'alleged' new boyfriend 'Florence and the Machine' guitarist Robert Ackroyd.

A source tells Life & Style that she refers to him as her 'boyfriend':

"Backstage at the Artist Lounge at Coachella last weekend, Katy kept saying her boyfriend was the guitar player for Florence + the Machine," a source tells Life & Style. "She and a bunch of friends were supposed to go see Dr. Dre together, but Katy said she was waiting to watch her boyfriend perform!"

They both follow each other on Twitter so you know it's got to be pretty serious (I kid). They could just be friends and she was guiding him and grabbed his hand. Or they could be an 'item'. Either way I'm hungry.

Stories are swirling around the internet that Katy Perry wants to reconcile with my future lover (her ex-husband) Russell Brand and I'm calling B.S. on this one although I wouldn't blame her one bit because he probably rocked her world in more ways than one. And seeing him in this video just confirms to me he would probably be pretty amazing to hang with.

The story first originated on US Weekly with their 'exclusive' on how she is miserable and realizes she misses him yada, yada, yada. But remember back when she and Russell first split and all of those stories were coming out? She made a statement on Twitter that NO ONE speaks for her so I'm pretty sure this 'source' doesn't speak for her. Or maybe they heard her say it. Who knows. This close pal of hers tells the publication:

Katy's been trying to get him back!"  "She's a lost soul right now."

While on the one hand I can see where she may wish she were back with him because her actions since the split speak of someone crying out for attention (see here, here and here and not to mention one week after he filed for divorce her 'heart is happy again') or incredibly hurt which makes this story even more unbelievable. And she's also back to smoking which to me could mean something.

The ex-hubby has been boinking his way through Hollywood and seems at peace with the fact that they aren't married any more, so even if she came crawling on her knees, while he may be delighted she's assumed the position (he is a pig afterall), it doesn't seem like settling down is in his future ever again.

Just remember the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference (like Russell is toward her and marriage) and that is usually impossible to turn around.

Day 2 of the 2012 Coachella Music Festival took place in Indio, California and some of the same celebrities were still rocking the event such as Jared Leto, Kate Bosworth and Vanessa Hudgens but we've got some new sightings: Katy Perry, Fergie, Josh Duhamel, a VERY buff Kellan Lutz, Emma Roberts and her boyfriend Glee's Chord Overstreet. 

I love the dress Katy has on but I don't like that it's so see-through. Mind you she looks great in it but I don't think the average person would walk around like that, do you?

Let's talk about Kellan. How buffed up is he? He looks HUGE. I looked on IMDB to see if it was for a role, but based on what he's currently filming it doesn't seem so. Perhaps he is preparing for an upcoming role. Either way it's delicious eye candy isn't it?

Is Kate Bosworth's boyfriend married? He's got a wedding band on his finger and I'm wondering if it's just symbolic of his commitment to her or there's a wife at home which would make him the dumbest guy on earth really.

Tallulah Willis chose the pants-optional approach to the festival.

Enjoy the pictures!
