By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Troupe: The singer warbled her way through the pop song as she was surrounded by dancers dressed in alien bodysuits


Katy Perry chose a very imaginative way to highlight her dangerous curves last night.

The 26-year-old lit up the stage of American Idol in a figure hugging LED space-age bodysuit for the reality show's results night.

Performing her hit song E.T., the singer warbled her way through the pop song as she was surrounded by dancers dressed in alien-inspired body suits.

Katy's complexion was heavily caked with futuristic make-up to complement the theme.

Emerging from a futuristic pod, the pop star was carried onto the stage by her alien dance troupe at the start of her performance.

She was later accompanied by rapper Kanye West who surprised the studio audience by joining the singer on stage for a duet.

The single version of the song features vocals by Kanye, who also appears in it's Floria Sigismondi-directed music video.

The rapper took to the stage in a white t-shirt, black jeans and a fur vest.

After the song concluded, Katy gave the 33-year-old a light stroke on the face before returning back to her pod.

Her performance in Los Angeles last night comes just days after Katy was catching up on lost time with husband Russell Brand as they put on a passionate show for photographers at the London premiere of his film Arthur.

Katy has made a huge effort to take time out to her see her husband while she continues her tour.

She made it clear before she left for her world travels that she would be making plenty of visits home to see the British funnyman.

The pop star says that her husband is the top of her priority list and she has even begun to feel a connection with British fans because of him.


Affectionate: Katy appeared with husband Russell Brand earlier in the week at the London premiere of his film Arthur where Russell got playful and firmly grabbed his wife's behind


'My husband is my number one priority. We have an amazing relationship', she told contactmusic.

She says Brand, who she married in India last October, is also teaching her some of the popular phrases and slang used in the UK.

'Russell's teaching me British slang and phrases now. I say, "I'm dining out on that one mate" and say "bin" instead of trash and "holiday" instead of "vacation".

Kanye West's ex Amber Rose set to walk down the aisle with another rapper

By Daily Mail Reporter


She dated Kanye West for over two years.

But it looks as though Amber Rose has moved on and is even possibly engaged.

The 27-year-old model, who split from Kanye in August 2010, has been dating rapper Wiz Khalifa for only a few months but the pair are already on taking their romance to the next level.

According to U.S reports the Amber and her 23-year-old beau have talked about getting married.

'Wiz is going on tour for the next month. But he told her when he gets back, he’s going to marry her .. . . and he was serious. He asked her to start making plans,' a source told MediaTakeOut.

'We’re really new, but we’re really close and understand each other’s life.

Understanding is really important,' Khalifa gushed in a recent interview.

AMber echoed his sentiment by posting a message on her Twitter about him.

Down in the dumps: Kanye West yesterday at Los Angeles Airport


'Congrats my Love, ur so talented,beautiful, Creative,Positive & an amazing person and ur all mine muah,' she wrote earlier this week.

Amber dated Kanye West from the summer of 2008 to August 2010.

'It was an amazing time and it came to an end,' West said following the break up.

'One of the greatest things that she showed me was just to be a nicer person because she was so disconnected from the concept of celebrity when I first met her.'

Today Kanye was spotted looking glum as he arrived for a flight at Los Angeles International Airport with his entourage.

Kanye’s ‘All Of The Lights’ Video Is Here

”All of the Lights” is one of our favorite tracks off of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but despite his recent “I like fashion better than music” move, Kanye’s latest video is far less fashion-focused than the others.Alas, as we always do, we have some fashion-related thoughts! First of all, WTF is Rihanna wearing? It’s like…a boob harness. Or something. Whatever it’s called, it’s thoroughly confusing. Also, Kid Cudi’s red leather jacket totally recalls the red leather suit Kanye wore on SNL back in October. ‘Ye himself appears to be wearing a graphic tee/shades/bling combination in his close-up shots, and an all-black ensemble in his other scenes which involve him on top of a police car as he raps about “cop lights.”

VMAN Issue #21: Kanye West + Inside Story

VMAN #21, the “No Risk, No Reward” issue, with star KANYE WEST photographed exclusively by KARL LAGERFELD.  

In Kanye’s only magazine cover shoot of the season, he shows that he’s finally done talking and wants his art to speak for itself. He has literally put his money where his mouth is, and in tandem, VMAN has issued a promotion where one in ten covers contain REAL dollar bills. It’s the ‘thrill of the game’ – and who better to illustrate this than one of the most controversial music and fashion icons of our generation.

10 Essentials: Kanye West

The rapper, producer, and designer names the things he won't do without

After making his name as a producer, West released his debut album in 2004 and quickly became one of the world's top recording artists. He's also a widely read blogger and a regular at the men's and women's collections. He has designed footwear for Nike and Louis Vuitton and has twice been named to Vanity Fair's best-dressed list.

1. Heather-Gray Balmain T-Shirt

"This is the most important thing on this list. It's the perfect tee, it goes with everything, and it's a slightly heavier weight."

2. Black Air Yeezys

"When I was designing these, I was inspired by the combinations of the materials used on Fendi Spy bags, as well as the colorways used on the robots in Robotech—muted tones accented with a pop of color. And of course we referenced the Nike Mag from Back to the Future II. We're trying to bring kids into the future with this shoe."

3. Dark-Brown RRL Jeans in Slim Boot Cut
"When I travel the world, I study how people dress in real life. Most men dress utilitarian—it's for a purpose. Contrary to hip-hop belief, baggy jeans are actually a fashion statement, while fitted jeans are the more classic option."

4. iPod Nano, iPhone, Macbook Air with Aircard
"I've got my Nano that I jog with, and an iPhone that I take pictures with. I love how light the Macbook is, and I'm always online. But I didn't connect the internet to my Blackberry on purpose. I don't want to be bothered like that."

5. Vintage Levi's Jean Jacket
"What's good about a jean jacket? What's not good about a jean jacket? I have like five of 'em. It's cool beacuse I used it as a layering piece, or as my main jacket. I can put it under a peacoat, I can put it over a T-shirt. It adds a classic-ness and roughness to an outfit."

6. Blacked-Out Rolex Submariner
"Me and a couple of my boys had this dinner conversation of what we thought the top brands were, and then made a decision to purchase those brands. So for watches, it's Rolex. This company called Black-Out Concept actually painted the Rolex black. It looks hard—it looks really cool. It's a new take on a classic watch."

7. Calvin Klein Boxer Briefs
"I like boxer briefs with suits because they don't bunch up."

8. Lanvin Seersucker Dinner Jacket
"I could wear it in Hawaii with a T-shirt, I could wear it in New York with a dress shirt. It embodies everything I like to be and do in fashion, riding the line between luxury and casual. It speaks volumes."

9. Louis Vuitton Monogramouflauge Keepall
"It's just the best duffel bag ever. To actually have it be the Louis monogram in camoflauge? That works internationally. No matter where you go, that gets respect. A five-year-old could see this bag and think it's cool."

10. Retro Super Future Flat-Top Sunglasses
"They're made in Italy, slightly bigger size than the normal Wayfarer. Whenever I wear stuff that's true to where it was when it came out—thirty, forty years ago, or whatever—it'll feel more costumey to me than modern. These, on the other hand, are classic but current."
