Katy Perry shimmered at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grande Garden Arena on Sunday, May 20th.

Perry was in a lavender mood with her long Blumarine open-backed iridescent gown in a soft shade of lilac. She matched her hair color in a dark shade of purple and chose a deep grape color for her lips. Perry kept it simple with some silver bangles as her only accessories.

The 27 year-old, who recently split from Rob Ackroyd – the guitarist of Florence + The Machine – took her 91 year-old grandmother, Ann Hudson as her red carpet date.

‘My date to tonight’s Billboard Music Awards is hotter than the las vegas weather. SMOKIN’!’ Perry tweeted.

Her grandma, with her sparkled cane, also wore lavender for the awards show. So sweet!

Perry accepted the Spotlight Award at the ceremony.

It’s a side of Katy Perry the public isn’t used to seeing.

Sultry and sexy, Perry is glammed up for the March issue of Interview magazine, giving the world a peek at her without her usual candy-colored hair and costuming.

The Teenage Dream singer looks strikingly like Amy Winehouse with her teased hair, big earrings and heavy eyeliner.

It wouldn’t be Katy without some sparkle and glitz though. The diamond encrusted push-up bra gives the photos that Perry touch.

Katy’s interview (done by Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig) will be online at Interview magazine‘s site on Thursday.

Katy Perry was among many celebrities partying Friday night at the Mirage in Las Vegas.  The casino was celebrating the grand opening kick-off weekend of its new club, 1 OAK, with a party sponsored by J. Molinari jewelry.   Katy was on hand to help her BFF, designer Markus Molinari host the shindig.

And since you’ve got a bunch of folks with money together in one room, why not raise some money for a good cause while you’re at it?  The event was also a benefit for GiveLove, an organization founded by Rosetta Getty and Patricia Arquette.  GiveLove supports the development of community-led sanitation projects in Haiti.   A very worthy (and necessary) cause!

This was Katy’s first red carpet appearance since the news broke about her divorce from Russell Brand.  She sure doesn’t look like she’s letting that bring her down!   Get more pictures after the jump.

Despite rumors that Katy Perry wanted Russell Brand to be the one to file for divorce, the singer is telling friends that she is “devastated” that their marriage is ending. 

HollywoodLife.com says Perry “still loves” Brand and is in a bit of shock.  Their sources say:

“Katy never thought in a million years that she would get divorced, she really planned to spend her life with Russell.  She is grieving her marriage and is at a point in her life where she doesn’t know what’s next.

[She] still can’t believe that it’s over.  She knew things were bad but she figured they’d work through it. Katy has been going through a bunch of emotions and she’s really leaning on her friends right now. She’s not herself.”

Other reports claim that Brand’s clean living lifestyle – he’s a recovered addict – became a problem for Perry, who “loved to party.”

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, Russell Brand shot down allegations that he and wife Katy Perry have broken up.

DeGeneres asked the actor to address the gossip, saying,

“There is a rumor that you and Katy split up.”

Brand responded, “What?  She should have told me… I am really happily married.” Calling the “whole internet” a “wicked little liar,” he continued:

“Being famous is like a little bit of you is taken away and goes off and lives on its own and odes what it wants. I wish it would do more interesting things.  I don’t know what he’s doing — the other me.   But I am married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.”

Brand and Perry married in India just a little over one year ago.
