London, Nov1: Katy Perry landed in an awkward situation when she and her ex-husband Russell Brand both turned up to watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Dallas Mavericks at the Staples Center, in California, on Tuesday night.
The 28-year-old, who flaunted her curves in a violet leopard skin print dress, was accompanied by her father Keith Hudson, while her comedian ex was escorted by two young boys.
Brand was certainly not dressed for the occasion and let himself down by wearing.

Jude Rogers salutes a film charting the struggle of indie record shops and their unsung owners
The British independent record shop hasn't had the rosiest time recently. More than 500 of them have closed in recent years, their racks emptied of glossy sleeves, peeling posters and lapel badges. This makes the arrival of a profitable film about them even more special. Last Shop Standing was crowd-funded by music fans and made in a month, and it has a history as heartfelt and ramshackle as the shops that it celebrates.
Released on DVD and on a screening tour of record shops and art centres this month, Last Shop Standing features cameos from Johnny Marr, Billy Bragg and Paul Weller – but this isn't a film about them. It's a film about Diane from Liverpool, owner of Musical Box, remembering the first Elvis single shocking her mother. It's about Brylcreemed octogenarian Laurie from Dales Records in Tenby,...

Russell Brand might have some genius PR team that we don’t know about, but the fact he’s coming out of his divorce from Katy Perry looking like the sweetest man alive seems to be mostly him. “I was really, really in love with her, but it was difficult to see each other,” Brand explained to Howard Stern today. “I don’t want to be too glib … She’ll read it and she’ll be sad and I don’t want that.” Awww, this guy keeps it nice! Since we know how easy it is for celebs to get carried away on Stern (we never thought we’d know as much as we do about David Arquette and Courtney Cox’s sex life, for example), we’d count Russell’s sweet, protective comments one of the top five nicest things he’s done since he and Katy announced their divorce last year.

Katy Perry's dad, Keith Hudson, just can't seem to stop talking to the press. The fundamentalist pastor -- who in the past received ire for his anti-semitic remarks and off-color statements about his famous daughter's divorce -- told Us Weekly that he harbors no ill feelings toward Perry's ex-husband, Russell Brand.
"There are no hard feelings towards Russell -- I just received a text from him the other day in fact. He is a wonderful and smart guy," Hudson told the magazine.
On why the power couple split, Hudson continued: "Her career got real busy and she did not get to see that much of Russell -- it was just one of those things."
Brand, 36, filed for divorce from Perry, 27, on December 30, 2011; the couple had been married less for than two years. In January, Hudson administered a sermon where he suggested that his daughter's divorce had been sent by God.

Katy Perry's dad is super-sorry for making some anti-Semitic remarks during a recent guest sermon at a Cleveland, Ohio church.
"I deeply regret the hurtful and ugly language I used in my message in Ohio," the 63-year-old Keith Hudson says in a new statement.

Katy Perry's father Keith Hudson has apologized for apparently engaging in an anti-Semitic rant. The preacher drew the ire of the Anti-Defamation League and the Simon Wiesenthal Center for comments he made about the Jewish community at Westlake, Ohio's Church on the Rise last week. Hudson is alleged to have said: "You know how to make the Jew jealous? Have some money, honey... You go to La and they own all the Rolex and diamond places. "Walk down a part of La where we live and it is so rich it smells. You ever smell rich? They are all Jews, hallelujah. Amen." The Church on the Rise have now told CNN that the comments were never meant to offend Jews and Hudson has offered his own apology as well.

Columbus, Ohio — A suburban Cleveland church where the father of pop star Katy Perry delivered a sermon that drew accusations of anti-Semitism has released an apology in which he says he regrets his "hurtful and ugly language."
Pastor Paul Endrei of the Church on the Rise in Westlake said Wednesday that Perry's father, the Rev. Keith Hudson, meant to compliment Jewish people's prosperity when he said having money is what it takes to make Jews jealous. Endrei says the visiting Hudson was blessing businesspeople during the Jan. 5 sermon and "just went too far."
"Even though this is wrong and it was not a right comment, he wasn't preaching about Jews, neither was he ranting against Jews," Endrei said, adding that he received only one complaint from among the roughly 300 people who heard the sermon.
He said Hudson had referred to God telling Abraham, considered the father of Judaism, that he was to be blessed.

Just after Katy Perry took to Twitter to blast gossip surrounding her divorce from Russell Brand with a fiery "No One speaks for me," Perry's parents are responding via sermon.
In a video posted to TMZ, Perry's father Keith Hudson can be seen saying he wants to "save" the media so that it can "write good stuff, Amen!" during a sermon in Fort Valley, Ga -- the only time he mentions his daughter's divorce.
It was rumored that Katy, 27, requested Brand, 36, to file for divorce in order to appease her religious parents, who are both evangelical ministers -- and with whom the famously outlandish, publicly Buddhist comedian may have clashed.
Shortly after news broke of the divorce, Keith and Mary Hudson, 63, also sparked controversy when they administered a sermon that suggested their daughter's divorce had been sent by God.
"I'm sure Katy is trending on the internet just to get you to church tonight.

Although Katy Perry's transition from gospel-singing good girl to Lifesavers-breasted pop siren is well-documented, Perry's dad, evangelical preacher Keith Hudson, is not a big fan of her raunchy, onstage persona — or, for that matter, of the Jewish people. While taking a break from a rant about his daughter's career and finances, Hudson engaged in the timeless tradition of Jew-bashing during a recent sermon, telling his congregation that Jews in Los Angeles are "so rich it smells." "You know to make the Jews jealous? Have some money, honey," Hudson told hundreds of worshippers at Church on the Rise in Westlake, Ohio. "You go to L.A. and you own all the Rolex and diamond places.

Katy Perry's family secrets are to be exposed in a new book, written by her mother. The "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker's parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, are Christian evangelists and ensured their daughter had a strict religious upbringing.
After the singer found fame, gossips speculated her parents were unhappy with her sexy image and raunchy lyric, and now Mary Hudson is seeking to "set the record straight" about the family history. In the tome, she explains why she "disagrees with a lot of choices" the pop star has made, and reveals the "negative" impact her daughter's fame has had on her ministry.
According to New York Post gossip column Page Six, a summary proposal for the book is already being passed around publishing houses in the Big Apple. It reads, "This memoir is her story, in her own words. Mary and Keith Hudson have been Christian Evangelists long...

This sounds kind of shady to us. Page Six is reporting that Katy Perry‘s mother, Mary Perry Hudson, is looking for a book deal—and not for her famous daughter, but for her.Mary, as Katy’s talked about in interviews before, is a Christian Evangelical preacher, as is her husband, and the book apparently deals with how their pop star daughter has affected their Christian ministry. Mary admits that she, “disagrees with a lot go choices she makes in her career”.We’re guessing those choices would involve kissing girls and liking it, right?
The proposal for the book — which Page Six has seen — reads, “This memoir is her story, in her own words. Mary and Keith Hudson have been Christian Evangelists long before the world ever heard of Katy Perry”. No word yet from Katy, but we think this sounds like a bit of a sell-out. There...

What's with pop star's mothers and tell-all books? Katy Perry's mother has written a book detailing how her daughter's career has affected her Christian life. Yup, you heard it right. Mary Perry Hudson – who along with Katy’s father, Keith Hudson, is an evangelical Christian pastor – decided to pen the book to share with the world how her Katy's choices have impacted on her ministry in “both negative and positive ways.” Sounds like a bestseller if I ever heard one. I wonder if one of the positives is going to be the fact that...
