Taking advantage of a day off from performing to plug her scent, Katy Perry hosted a meet and greet for her perfume Purr in Manila, Philippines on Saturday (January 21).

The newly-single “Firework” singer donned a short blue coif as she welcomed the gathered crowd by saying, “Hello, Manilla! I thought you guys would have something better to do on a Saturday.”

Katy continued, “It’s so nice to see you, thank you so much for coming out! Well, it’s really exciting to be here. I’m really excited to be launching Purr and I’m very excited to play a show here tomorrow for a second time.”

From there, Katy proceeded to dote spectators with purple cupcake snacks as she signed autographs and shook hands – with one fan gifting her back with a book about her Chinese sign, the rat.

Katy Perry is no stranger to donning blue colored hair, but the drastic change suddenly has grabbed some attention. It stands to reason since her divorce from Russell Brand that the California Gurls singer would want to go back to one of her trademark hair colors.

The media was speculating that Katy wanted to seek change a newly single woman again, but her hairstylist tells a different story.

Hairstylist Rita Hazan says, “Katy wanted to go this particular color blue for a few weeks now.”

Hazan adds that the blond color pictured of Perry in December “was not an interim shade. She knew it wouldn’t be permanent — just another Katy Perry look!”

Katy Perry loves to experiment with different shades of colors for her hair. When she was married, her hair was dark for a longer period. Her blue hair matches that of the lollipops, candy canes, cupcakes, and ice cream themes she is famous for. Now that she and Russell Brand are split, fans can expect to see more of the Katy who showed this side of herself before.

Katy Perry has cancelled her first appearance since Russell Brand announced he had filed for divorce.

The Firework hitmaker was due to attend the 2012 People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles tomorrow (11th January), but has since decided to pull out of the star-studded bash following the end of her marriage.

Taking to Twitter, Perry told her disappointed followers: “Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the People’s Choice Awards. I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed! #KATYCATS.”

Perry recently commented on her divorce on the social-networking site, thanking her fans for their support, tweeting: “I am so grateful for all the love and support I’ve had from people around the world. You guys have made my heart happy again.”

The 27-year old also addressed rumours surrounding the break down of her 14-month marriage, adding: “Concerning the gossip, I want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me. Not a blog, magazine, ‘close sources’ or my family.”

Katy is apparently writing songs about her split from Russell, with reports suggesting they could feature on her next album.

I’m really sad to post this, it’s not very reliable yet. Here it goes:

Russell Brand filed for divorce from his singer spouse on Friday.

“Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends,” he said in a statement.

Both were spotted separately this month without their wedding rings: Perry, while vacationing sans Brand in Hawaii, and Brand while back home in London. The two got hitched in an ultra-private ceremony in northern India in October 2010 and since then have professed their love in interviews and on red carpets.

The two met on the set of Brand’s 2010 comedy Get Him to the Greek, although her cameo was cut from the film. They connected instantly.

“You know when you know, and I just knew,” Perry told USA TODAY in August 2010. “He stopped my world. He’s someone I can count on, a life partner. And I’m wildly attracted to him. I do feel a little bit like Priscilla Presley. It’s been so lovely.”

Their personal travails aside, both their careers are thriving. Brand will headline a late-night series on FX this spring, while chart-topper Perry was just named MTV’s artist of the year.

Earlier this month, Ellen DeGeneres asked guest Brand about talk of marital discord. Brand said he’s “married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.”

According to TMZ, the “Arthur” actor has submitted legal papers to bring an end to his fourteen month wedlock to the “Hot N Cold” singer.

Merry Christmas to all the KatyCats! I hope you have a great time with your family & friends!
