For the third year in a row, music fans can become a part of the Grammy Awards thanks to the "My Grammy Moment" contest. This year, the contest's winners will perform with Katy Perry via their video submissions.

"I am very excited to be a first-time Grammy nominee and new Recording Academy member this year, and even more thrilled to perform on music's biggest stage in February," Perry said about the opportunity to perform with an aspiring musician.

"I'd love to share my first Grammy experience with all my fans, so I encourage you to submit your videos now!" added the singer, whose song is nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal performance. She's up against Adele, Leona Lewis, Pink, Duffy and Sara Bareilles. (...) CONTINUE..

Lily Allen has combined her two favourite things — t’internet and slagging people off — to re-ignite her feud with Katy Perry.

The pair have been at each other’s throats since Katy called the gobby Londoner fat.

Now our Lil’ who called the lady-loving Yank “crass”, is threatening to post her rival’s mobile number on the web.

Writing on her Facebook page, Lily said: “I have Katy Perry’s number, someone did me a favour.

“I’m just waiting for her to open her mouth one more time then it hits Facebook.”

Lily also joined two groups on the networking site.

One is called “I hate Katy Perry and her dumb-ass song I Kissed A Girl”.

The other is “Katy Perry? Who in the hell does she think she is?”

Calm down, girls.

Following my story last year that she wanted a pink pony for Christmas, Katy Perry received a box full.

Sadly for the pop fox it was only a bunch of toys.

Hasbro shipped a My Little Pony collection in pink to the 24-year-old.

KP, who was spotted during the festive season out with corset-lover Dita Von Teese, 36, took on a burlesque look for her latest performance.

Expect more of the same when she hits our shores in February.

I’m predicting a performance at the BRITs is on the cards.

Katy Perry and her Gym Class Heroes beau Travis McCoy have split, a source close to Perry confirmed to Usmagazine.com Friday.

"It's sad, but they were fighting a lot because they never saw each other and now she is going on tour," the source told Us. "She just needed a clear head. It's been non-stop work for her."

McCoy posted the lyrics to Main Source's tune "Looking at the Front Door" on his blog about the breakup, which was first reported by Celebuzz. (...) CONTINUE..

Continuing their holiday partying well into the weekend, Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese were spotted enjoying a fun-filled night out together last night (December 28).

The “Hot N Cold” songstress and her burlesque babe gal pal were joined by Perez Hilton and a few friends as they hit up the swanky Sur restaurant for dinner.

Afterwards, the whole crew decided to head over to Los Angeles hot spot The Abbey for some after dinner drinks, laughing all the way as they passed the paparazzi.

Miss Perry appeared to be in especially high spirits as she joked around with the celebrity blogger, as the rest of the group looked on.

"So I’m kinda doing a year end wrap up like everyone else and their mother, uncle, son is doing. I get pretty annoyed when I buy all these magazines and they do the year end wrap ups because it’s like, I know… this is info I’ve already bought. Jeeze. Introduce me to something new…gosh. Well I might be guilty of it too… but this is a more in depth behind the scenes of one of my favorite moments this year, hosting the Europe Music Awards for MTV in Liverpool, England. It’s old school style, you think you know, but you have no idea. It was only played around europe so I thought it would be nice to bring it back home-style. Especially for the kittens. Grab a snack, this is an episode."

"Right back where I started from.

Jan 12th @ 10 pm I will play an acoustic show @ The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles. Tickets are 12 bucks and first come first serve. Venue holds about 200 people. I’m gonna play whatever… both on the record and not on the record… I’m just gonna go back to where I came from cause I miss it. Would love to see you there.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH & ALL THE REST :)

I am sitting in Cabo with a sun burnt nose enjoying a much need break. I’m not wearing any makeup all week and soaking up the sun (with spf 45 of course) I’m very happy and taking a moment to reflect. I just wanna say that I love you guys. I am blessed this year and happy to have amazing smart, creative, funny fans who get it. I hope you guys are relaxed and counting your blessings. Every breath is a blessing, remember that and be thankful. I’m excited for the new year and excited to continue the creative journey. I hope you guys are inspired and go for it this next year. Never give up.

Love you.

Katy & Kitty (who is obviously cracked out on the cane, the candy cane.)"

She's had a pretty spectacular 2008 but Katy Perry is planning an even more outrageous 2009.

She said: “You’re gonna see me with all kinds of different things. Maybe you won’t expect it, but that’s what I like to do – keep people on their toes.”

And Katy’s not worried about fitting in with next year’s hot new trends.

The 24-year-old said: “What’s the point of being in pop if you’re going to be a wind-up doll?”
