Now Katy Perry the chameleon reveals a shock of pink hair

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Pink lady: Katy Perry unveiled a bold new hair colour as she stopped off at a gas station in Los Angeles with her in LA yesterday

She has gradually lightened up her locks in recent months in a bid to achieve a flaxen look, but it seems Katy Perry has temporarily abandoned her blonde ambition.

The 26-year-old unveiled very bold new colour as she stopped in at a gas station with her husband Russell Brand in Los Angeles yesterday.

Perhaps taking inspiration from her Teenage Dream cover, she has dyed her hair a cotton candy pink.

She teamed her bright mane with a summery green maxi dress, aviator sunglasses and flip flops.

Katy, who has rarely been spotted with her comedian husband in recent months, is on a brief break from promoting her new film, The Smurfs.

The film, which sees her voice the character Smurfette, made $36.2 million on opening week at the U.S. box office.

'I'm so grateful my husband Russell Brand is clean and sober,' says Katy Perry in wake of Amy Winehouse's death

By Daily Mail Reporter


Grateful: Katy Perry discussed her husband Russell Brand's sobriety during an interview on Good Morning American today


Pop star Katy Perry says Amy Winehouse's death has made her even more grateful for husband Russell Brand staying sober.

Brand, himself a recovering drug addict, took to Twitter over the weekend to laud his late friend as a 'f***ing genius' following her death in London on Saturday.

And Perry says the death puts into perspective Brand's efforts to stay clean and away from drugs.


'My heart felt really sad,' Perry said on Good Morning America about hearing of Winehouse's death.

'My husband, who has been clean and sober for almost nine years, you know, I see him working a program and working on himself every single day.

'And I see how much work it takes to be clean and sober when you have, you know, addiction on your hands.

'It gave me a real a gratefulness for my husband, who got clean when he was 27.

'I feel really sad and I just hope she finds peace.'

Brand paid a lengthy written tribute to Winehouse yesterday, saying addiction should be treated as a potentially fatal disease.

He met her on the Camden pub scene a number of years ago, and said at first he thought she was 'just some twit in a pink satin jacket shuffling round bars'.

He said when he spoke to her she was 'sweet and peculiar but most of all vulnerable'.

By chance Brand saw her perform with Paul Weller at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London, and had an epiphany.

In the piece posted on his website he wrote: 'Entering the space I saw Amy on stage with Weller and his band; and then the awe. The awe that envelops when witnessing a genius. From her oddly dainty presence that voice, a voice that seemed not to come from her but from somewhere beyond even Billie and Ella, from the font of all greatness.

'That twerp, all eyeliner and lager dithering up Chalk Farm Road under a back-combed barnet, the lips that I'd only seen clenching a fishwife fag and dribbling curses now a portal for this holy sound.'

Brand has given frank accounts of his battle to overcome drug addiction, and said loved ones will always fear getting a phone call with the worst news possible.

On duty: The star is currently in New York promoting her new film, The Smurfs


At the time he met Winehouse, he himself had not yet got clean, and he said: 'Winehouse and I shared an affliction, the disease of addiction.'

In the piece Brand accused the media of being more interested in 'tragedy than talent', and therefore said they focused more on her personal battles than her musical career.

He went on: 'Addiction is a serious disease; it will end with jail, mental institutions or death.

'Now Amy Winehouse is dead, like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today.

'We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease. Not all addicts have Amy's incredible talent. Or Kurt's (Cobain) or Jimi's (Hendrix) or Janis's (Joplin), some people just get the affliction. All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill.'

'We're not breaking up': Katy Perry and Russell Brand deny separation

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

We're fine: Katy Perry has slammed recent reports which claim that she and husband Russell Brand were considering a trial separation, here the couple are seen last month


Katy Perry and Russell Brand have endured countless break-up rumours since they tied the knot in October last year.

And whispers of a split have increased in recent months because the piar have spent more and more time apart due to their busy schedules.

But after a recent report claiming the couple were trying a trial separation, Katy has hit out, insisting that her marriage of just eight months is just fine.


Keeping busy: Russell seen leaving the gym with his trainer sipping on a drink from Earth Bar in West Hollywood today


The 26-year-old, who married the 36-year-old actor in a ceremony in India in October last year, said that just because the couple kept their relationship private, it didn't mean there was trouble in paradise.

Taking to her Twitter page to put the rumours to rest, she wrote: 'Just cause we don't flaunt our relationship doesn't mean there's something wrong w/it. Privacy is our luxury. #tabloidsrtrash #gossipisgross.'

Brand later supported his wife and wrote a message on his own Twitter page.


Denial: Katy took to her Twitter page to put break-up rumours to rest


He wrote, referring to the current phone hacking scandal surrounding former tabloid newspaper, News Of The World: 'You tell em Mrs Brand! In Britain we're currently dismantling the scum media so I'm not tuned in to their brain-farting.'

The couple's statements come as it was claimed earlier this month that the pair were considering a trial separation in a bid to keep their relationship on the right track.

A source told Heat magazine that Katy had confided: 'We're thinking of taking a break from our marriage. I'm worried it could be the end of the road for us.'

Who's your friend, Russell? Brand relaxes poolside with a Katy Perry lookalike as his wife recovers from food poisoning

Who's your friend? Russell Brand relaxes poolside with a Katy Perry lookalike as his wife recovers from food poisoning


At first glance, Russell Brand looks like he is having a whale of a time relaxing poolside in Los Angeles with wife Katy Perry.

However, on closer inspection, the lady showing off her figure in a tight black swimsuit is not Katy, but a brunette who looks astonishingly like the Firework singer.

Perhaps Brand's new friend was just keeping him company by the hotel pool in Miami as Katy was struck down with food poisoning over the weekend - so much so that she was forced to reschedule two of her planned concerts.


She later promised: 'I am going to return in a few weeks to give them the very best show ever!'

Brand wore a pair of white patterned swimming shorts as he chilled out with his new friend on Sunday.

But Katy was clearly fully appraised of the situation as later in the day, the couple were seen out together stopping at a fruit stand in Los Angeles.

The pictures of the pair together, a rarity in recent months, are set to dismiss rumours their nine-month marriage it in trouble.

Conversation: The brunette lady wore a black swimming costume while Brand wore a pair of patterned swimming shorts


It was even claimed the pair were considering a trial separation in a bid to keep their relationship on the right track.

A source told heat magazine that Katy had confided: 'We're thinking of taking a break from our marriage. I'm worried it could be the end of the road for us.'

However their spokesperson today vigorously denied the claim.

The couple have been plagued with reports their marriage isn't working ever since they tied the knot last October after a whirlwind one year long-distance romance.

Vitamins: The fruit would no doubt have done Katy good, as she was hit with a nasty case of food poisoning over the weekend


But in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine earlier this year, Katy insisted she trusts her husband implicitly, despite his lothario past.

She said: 'There's never a dull moment. He has never lied to me once. I trust him; there’s just a level of trust that we’ve built up.'

However, in an interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories at the beginning of the year, Brand said staying faithful for the rest of his life was a daunting prospect.

He admitted: 'I take it one step at a time - like with drugs, like with alcohol. Don't look at things as in "rest of life".

'Of course marriage is for life and that's what I wanted but anything for the rest of life can be daunting.'

Katy Perry shows off her new accidental 'ginger' hairstyle as she launches her perfume

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Purr-ty: Katy Perry shows off her new ginger hair style as she launches her new fragrance in Toronto, Canada


Even though she looked flawless as she greeted fans at her perfume launch last night Katy Perry was well aware that she didn't appear quite right.

Because the singer was sporting a new accidental hair colour.

The 26-year-old songstress debuted a striking strawberry blonde hue to her hair, which for a long time has been dyed jet black, as she introduced her fragrance Purr at Sears in Toronto, Canada.


Lightening up: Katy is in the process of changing her hair to blonde from jet black


'On my way to launch PURR in TORONTO! FINALLY CA has PURR avail to them! she wrote on her Twitter page earlier in the day.

'P.s. If u see a ginger haired girl that looks like me, it's me! #yay.'

Katy, who is a natural blonde, has spent years maintaining her hair as a dark brunette, even dying her eyebrows and eyelashes to match.


Patience: The singer has to wait three weeks to lighten her locks further otherwise her hair could break off


If you see a ginger girl it's me! The singer told fans to look out for her
But in order to take her hair back to blonde the I Kissed A Girl singer had to complete the process in two stages.


So just over a week ago she had her hair dyed this dark red-blonde colour.

'So I didn't get to the exact color (sic) I wanted from being black for so long! she explained to her fans on Twitter.


Promo duties: Katy took part in a Q&A session with her Canadian fans


'2get to goal I have 2b GINGER for 3WKS,' before explaining: 'If I don't wait 3wks, I'll end up w/no hair or a #pixie90scutw/abarretteinthefront It's okay, I'll get to my secret color(s) soon! #patience'

Katy is currently in the middle of her California Dreams tour which sees her performing tonight in Toronto before heading to Montreal and Ottawa next week.

Meanwhile, back at home in Los Angeles, it was revealed that Katy and her husband Russell Brand have bought a $6.5 million Hollywood Hills mansion.

What will Katy say? After his wife adds yet more tour dates, Russell Brand reaches out to a pretty crew member on set

By Daily Mail Reporter


Tactile: Russell Brand can be seen holding the hand of a pretty blonde crew member on set in Miami today


He's known for his tactile manner but Russell Brand will raise more than a few eyebrows with these shots of him holding a pretty girl's hand.

The reformed lothario, 36 , is on set in Miami where he's filming new movie Rock of Ages, and the fair haired maiden is clearly a crew member.

Russell is given to such displays of warm affectionate towards people that such tender gestures largely go unnoticed.


But the fact that the pair of them were holding in hands today in a manner normally reserved for romantic couples is striking.

It comes hot on the heels of news that Brand's wife of eight months, pop sensation Katy Perry, is extending her tour well into November.

A source told the Mail: 'Katy has only four days off until the end of September, when she’s in Brazil.’

Friendly touch: Brand cuddles up to the blonde in a break from filming

Busy schedules: Perry and Brand at the MTV Europe Awards in Madrid last year


‘She hopes Russell will join her but isn’t sure whether he will be allowed entry because of his criminal record. She is taking a few days off for their first anniversary in October which they plan to celebrate in the UK.’


The pair are even have even put their L.A home in trendy Los Feliz on the market, with friends reporting it is empty most of the time.

When Brand delivered his best man's speech at rock legend Noel Gallagher's wedding at the weekend in England, Perry, 26 , was unable to be by his side.

Brand is said to have brought the house down by affectionately lampooning the former Oasis great, and telling stories about his new wife, Sara McDonald.

But there was no chance to relive fond memories of his marriage to Perry on a tiger reserve in India last October.

And with the comedian's commitments on the film - which is being adapted from the Broadway hit and stars Tom Cruise and Catherine Zeta Jones - destined to keep him in Miami for the foreseeable, it could be hard for the newlyweds to spend any quality time together.

But reports of trouble in paradise are unfounded, and it's likely that Brand is just being his usual touchy feely self.

Perry's tour takes her around the US and the UK over the forthcoming months, and Brand is so keen to see her despite their clashing schedules that he even flies with their pet cats.

She told the Daily Star: 'I miss my kitties. One time I asked Russell to bring the cats with him so we could all hang out. Putting a cat on a plane is strange, but I always make sure it’s in first class.'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Missing Russell: Katy Perry wore black stockings and a suspender skirt as she arrived in Tokyo on a bullet train earlier today
