Katy Perry had her new man, Russell Brand, by her side as she celebrated her 25th birthday this weekend with a party in West Hollywood.

And things are going so well between the two lovebirds that Mr. Brand is already bonding with Perry's parents.

"While the crowd was singing, 'Happy Birthday,' Russell had his arm around Katie's dad's shoulder," a partygoer says.

Another source said Perry gushed to a pal about her new beau: "Do you want to meet my boyfriend? He's hilarious!"

As for the festivities...

If Andy Samberg were single, Katy Perry would so be trying to make him jizz in his pants.

The perky pop singer can't get enough of the Saturday Night Live funnyguy.

"Oh...my...God! I just saw Andy Samberg," Perry, 24, stuttered to me on last night's VMA red carpet. "I know he's going out with someone, but he's so hot.

"Oh...my...God," she said again. "I'm going to freak out. I'm already creaming in my panties. Oh my God!"

Ms. Perry finally did get to meet Samberg. Keep reading to find out what happened. Plus, she dished on why she had to get brutally honest when she was a guest judge for American Idol...

Katy Perry has every intention of telling the truth when she guest judges on American Idol—even if it means hurting someone's feelings.

"I might become a little bit of a buddy with Simon," Perry told me on Saturday at the Palladium in Hollywood, just before she hit the stage for her show (presented by SoundsofBuzz.com and Coca-Cola), "because whenever I watch that show, as much as he's an asshole, he's a very truthful, honest asshole."

Perry will sit on the judges' panel next month when auditions are held in Los Angeles...

Katy Perry performed "Like a Virgin" with DJ AM and Travis Barker at last year's MTV Video Music Awards.

I caught up with Katy on Saturday night at the Palladium in Hollywood, just before she hit the stage for her show (presented by SoundsofBuzz.com and Coca-Cola).

"Every time I met him, he was such a wonderful person, full of life, very bright," she said of the late DJ. "It continues to remind everybody to live life to the fullest [and] love the people around you."

Reports of Katy Perry getting cozy with Benji Madden have been greatly exaggerated.

The “I Kissed a Girl” songbird is none too pleased about stories coming out of Las Vegas this weekend claiming she and the rocker ex-boyfriend of Paris Hilton appeared to be more than just friends while partying on Valentine’s night at Sin City’s Lavo nightclub.

She took to her blog to clear up the rumors: “oh kittens! It’s two pseudo famous people sitting next to each other...doesn’t mean we were bumping uglies!” Perry wrote in a post yesterday.

Katy Perry is talking about boys again.

But this time around, it's pretty clear she's not opening up about her split from Gym Class Heroes singer Travis McCoy.

Perry revealed at a concert in L.A. this weekend that she first started learning about the opposite sex at a roller-skating rink.

"I used to never even be able to see a boy," the Grammy nominee said to a packed house at the Wiltern. "I didn't even know what a boy was. They were so foreign to me. I used to go roller-skating just so I could see the opposite sex."

And it was there that she suffered her first heartbreak.

UPDATE: Is Katy Perry having morning-after regrets for getting emotional and talking about her breakup during a gig last night?

She just blogged that she wasn't necessarily talking about her own life. "I enjoy being myself on stage and that's what you expect of me," she wrote in the post. "I have made many of the same introductions [to songs] before...just lately everyone's dissecting my every word. Understandable. When I wanna share something with the world, the world will know."

We have a feeling Perry may not be so chatty on her upcoming tour.

Katy Perry is hurting.

The typically perky pop princess didn’t hide her feelings about her split from boyfriend Travis McCoy during an acoustic performance last night at L.A.'s Hotel Café.

Katy came clean while explaining the inspiration for her new single, "Thinking of You."

“It means a lot to me,” Perry said of the song. “It's one of those slit your wrists songs, like one of those R. Kelly songs like 'Real Talk.' Like when you break up with somebody and you don't wanna move on, but you have to move on."

Leave it to Katy Perry to celebrate her birthday with dead people.

The always-kooky “I Kissed a Girl” songstress marked the big 2-4 with a pre-Halloween costume bash last night at Siren Studios.

Guests were asked to come dressed as their favorite dead celebrity. Perry’s costume? Freddie Mercury, the late lead singer of Queen.

The deadly theme started with Perry’s arrival to the bash in a hearse.

Inside, the more than 200 guests, including Josh Groban and Cisco Adler, were treated to a game of bobbing for body parts, a coffin photo booth and an execution chamber. Perry's cake was in the shape of—what else?—a dead body.
