Katy Perry does her first red carpet appearance since her split: sympathetic?

These are some new photos of Katy Perry during her first post-split red carpet appearance on Friday, in Las Vegas. The dude that she’s hanging on is Markus Molinari, a jewelry designer and one of the hosts of the charity event, which benefited Haitian earthquake victims. Bedhead has been covering a lot of Katy Perry news lately, including Friday’s story about Katy’s alleged cocaine use, and how that cocaine-soaked party lifestyle is one of the big reasons why Katy and Russell Brand split up. God knows if it’s true, but it has been interesting to see which stories Camp Brand and Camp Perry have been pushing in the media – it feels like both of them really want to come out of this divorce with public sympathy on their side. So, I guess it’s pretty smart for Katy to make her first red carpet appearance for charity, and to be notably “quiet” at the event:

Back in the United States to see friends and support a charity, Katy Perry strolled down a red carpet for the first time since her split with Russell Brand.

The singer rocked her blue hair and donned a cocktail dress with metal studs at the overnight Friday event for Givelove.org, which provides sustainable low-income solutions Haiti earthquake victims.

Markus Molinari, a designer for J. Molinari Jewelry, told PEOPLE that Perry was doing “amazing” and she was in town to support his cause because “that’s what friends do.”

At the event at the 1 OAK club in the Mirage Hotel, Perry hung out in a VIP booth and watched her pal Ferras perform.

“She was really tame,” a source said. “She was really just drinking a few drinks and chilling with her friends.”

Earlier, Perry went to Stack restaurant, joining a table of 18 and dining on steak, seafood and red wine and listening to another performance by Ferras on the piano. Perry was seen clapping, cheering and swinging a napkin the air.

The singer is back from doing shows in the Philippines and Indonesia.

Obviously, Katy and Russell will both “bounce back” after the divorce. My prediction for Russell is a series of random, Gerard-Butler-style hookups with any girl that will have him, followed by a second marriage with someone on the sobriety track. Unfortunately, I think Katy is going to spend some time post-divorce spiraling out of control. Before she and Russell even split up, she announced that she was going to take some time off – I think she’s going to spend the next year partying, getting wasted and making some really bad decisions. We’ll see, though.

Oh, and Paris Hilton was at this event too – I’m including photos of her because A) Katy and Paris Hilton at the same event says a lot about the event and B) Look at Paris’s wonk eye!!!!!!!

  1. Paris should get married (again?). That would be interesting.

    • Capella says:

      FORGET THE WONKY EYE, just check-out the cocaine-destroyed nasal cartilage.

      She puts the honey badger to shame! P. Hilton should now be called the Powder-Hoover Ebola-Badger.

  2. Franny says:

    Katy looks really pretty here – her make up is great!

    compared to her, Paris looks like a washed up hooker. Sounds about right.

    • RocketMerry says:

      I agree, Katy looks really good and well put together here. I especially like the blue hair, as odd as it seems: blue most definitely is a better hair colour than pink, blonde, black or orange on her.

    • ambergesa says:

      Her make up is very flattering but I just want to fix her right fake eyelash.

    • HadleyB says:

      yep she looks good.. she always looks so pretty no matter what color her hair is – which is rare. Love her eye makeup – granted we all know she looks like — plain jane without all the paint but she has great features.

    • Faye says:

      I agree, Katy looks great.

  3. Cathy says:

    Why do these women feel the need to have eyelashes that are about 6 inches long? I like the dress, it looks good on her, but she has way to much eye makeup on.

    As for Paris, she always looks like a skank.

  4. Meg says:

    She will be soon bald. She had almost every color of the rainbow on her head in last three months. And blue hair is never good idea. Next.

    • carrie says:

      she ‘s like Clementine in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ” :her hair is her mood

    • ZenB!tch says:

      As a former rocker girl (back when that meant something) I have nothing against unnatural hair colors. I just wish it was a darker blue. It looks like her hair is too over processed (bleached) underneath and it absorbed the blue dye. I’d like to see it a blue like my friend Kristina used to wear back in the day. I guess you could call it “hyper-link blue”

  5. skipper says:

    what is with the smurf hair?

    poor wonky. she just cant move on.

  6. Little Darling says:

    Sympathetic…uh….NOPE!

    Perhaps had they dated longer, spent more time together getting to know each other….but I don’t feel sympathetic at all. She broke up with her husband, after barely any time married, and hardly any time with him. She’s still got loads on money, no one cheated, she’s not hanging with Justing Bieber blowing whip its in the corner with 40 red bulls.

    She’s a gorgeous girl, a top selling artist who seems to have staying power. She’s going to be JUST FINE.

    OHHHH…..did you mean sympathetic because of that unfortunate blue bob and the fact that she was at an event with Paris Hilton? Then yes! I do. 😉

    • ZenB!tch says:

      I agree… no sympathy and I don’t think she is asking for it. She looks great (look at those legs), she is 27 years old and she has a hot career.

      Unless, like you said it’s for being in a room with Paris Hilton. UGH! Who else was there? What level of even was this? A or D? Did Katy owe someone a favor or did Paris crash the party?

  7. ThatBoyLuke says:

    Even if my mind wanted to give her sympathy (which it doesn’t) after years of abuse from her my ears would overrule that shit FAST lol
    And no unfortunately she isn’t taking time out to indulge in coke and faux religion she’s re releasing her awful album in an attempt to get annother No1 single (by any means) to break Michael Jackson’s record of No1 singles from an album lol… lame.

  8. Penguin says:

    She should stop dyeing her hair so much, it’s getting really thin.

  9. Hautie says:

    After all these years. I am still surprised, as vain as she is, that Paris has not had that eye droop taken care of.

    The procedure to fix that droop… would take less than an hour. Be healed up in about 10 days.

    And it looks like Paris has been visiting the plastic surgeon for lip fillers. Why not ask about that serious eye droop when she is there.

    • ol cranky says:

      I wonder if she’s been using botox for crow’s feet. Ptosis (eye lid droop) is a side effect of botox injections

    • Jag says:

      I read that the eye droop was from botched upper eyelid surgery. So maybe she’s skittish to go under the knife again, which could make it worse?

  10. Meow meow says:

    well if she was doing coke then she put down the spoon and picked up the fork, that poor gitl had no self discipline, so yes, I feel sympathy, but she looks better with hair extensions

  11. Bubbling says:

    Cal me hater, but I don’t like this glamorized hooker fashion…

  12. serena says:

    LOL at the wonk eye.

    Anyway I like her new hair colour.

  13. Blue says:

    Katy looks great. Actually like her blue hair. Paris looks like she had some work done but still looks awful.

  14. Lis says:

    I really like Katy Perry, and I think she looks great.

    Don’t get the hate and dislike going her way.

  15. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    Please more close up shots of Paris and her Wonky Eye. My son was sitting next to me watching Qubo and turned around and started crying telling me to turn it off.

    I like that blue on her. It makes her eyes pop but as for sympathy, hell no. When she stops marketing a promiscuous lifestyle full of party favors to teenagers across the globe, I’ll reconsider.

    I hate how they purposeful pander her crap to the kids.

  16. Jayna says:

    Katy looks pretty.

  17. moopsie says:

    Don’t like her music or her image. Russell can do better.

  18. Coco says:

    Ugh, that flock of seagulls Rico Suave nightmare hanging on her gives me hives.

    • DreamyK says:

      He’s also too heavy to be wearing those pants. They accent his thighs, and not in a good way. Dude has his shirt bloused out to try and camouflage his belly. Not working.

      Katy needs to reconsider her hair. She’s 27, not 19. The woman has been married and divorced. Not an age appropriate look for her any longer.

    • B says:

      Haha he looks like he’s wearing a toupee sideways.

    • Stoner says:

      Molinari is a NOTORIUS cokehead, and he’s always been one of her BFFs. I have no doubts that the stories about her “cocaine lifestyle” are 100% true.

  19. Sandra says:

    Katy’s false eyelash is coming off in the first close up!

  20. Hanna says:

    Paris.. BUSTED. Damn.. just get back to your abandonned dungeon already.

  21. Alejandro says:

    Markus Molinari is to Katy Perry what Pootie is to Lindsay Lohan.

  22. Relli says:

    I think what kaiser is really talking about in a downward style after a divorce is what is commonly known as The Jessica SimPson. Sure shes all happy now with her Yalie Kfed but really remember how hot her and her career was before she got divorced from Nick. Uber religious overly involved parents, check. Soaring fame as a sexy starlet with cover magazine breasts, check. Reinforcement that despite fame and Hollywood they are still good Christian girls, check. If she stays focused she will be fine, but if not I can totally see her going off the rails.

    Geez Paris when did you start looking like your aunts.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Because nice CHRISTIAN girls get knocked up out of wedlock!

      I like Jessica in her new role as a spokesperson for normal girls but I’m hoping she’s dropped the Christian act after that.

  23. Nan209 says:

    With any luck Russell Brand will fade into oblivion. I can’t stand that no talent hack…With any luck Katy will fade into oblivion I can’t stand that no talent hack.

    There. I’m done.

    • Adrien says:

      Russel’s an impressive and intelligent stand-up comic.

    • emma1978 says:

      Wrong. You don’t have to like Russell, but he’s not a “no talent hack” by any means. He’s actually brilliant. And he’s got charisma oozing from his pores. Fact. 🙂

  24. the original bellaluna says:

    I still think she’s an arsehole. I don’t like her ridiculous antics, and she’s not winning any sympathy from me for getting divorced.

    Girl’s gonna end up bald if she doesn’t start taking better care of that hair.

  25. Jover says:

    I’ll second that Nan209 I find it hard to believe KP will have any bigger success with followup cd’s like she had with this Teenage Dream crap. Musically, vocally, demographically she’s limited; really, when you’re 33 are you still going to be singing to tweens with your boobs hanging out and in multi-colored hair. Elton John, Kiss, ALice cooper, Queen, even Madonna, etc. incorporated glitz, schitck, show etc. into their music and performances, but they had much more talent than this girl. I could be wrong but I don’t see her being around in a big way; as some have opined, she’ll probably do the 180 return to her fundamentalist roots and rail in tacky outfits about the “evils” of pop culture, esp. since her bubble gum music is largely indistinguishable from what else is out there.

    • Asli says:

      Yup, I agree. I don’t see her around either. Her schtick is over.

    • DuBarry says:

      “…when you’re 33 are you still going to be singing to tweens with your boobs hanging out and in multi-colored hair.” — See Fergie.

      • Jover says:

        Good one dubarry but aren’t the Beeps on hiatus or something; I’ve seen them live very bad totally a studio created “band” and isn’t fergie into product endorsements,fashion, and that ever so edgy Avon repping. You’re right she’s become just another fameho.

      • ZenB!tch says:

        LOL Fergie hasn’t seen 33 in a while. I think I missed her multi colored hair phase. Her hair’s been faux caramel for a while. At least Fergie has sort of dumped the ghetto-chola look (which as a meth-head she comes by honestly).

        Katy’s schtick will either have to change or she will be a has-been by 33. Still in this musical climate I’m surprised she’s lasted this long.

        Gaga annoys me more. She thinks she’s Bowie.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Maybe she can bring some melody and flair to Christian music.

      I.CANNOT.STAND.CHRISTIAN.MUSIC. During the holidays I heard some contemporary worship style Christmas songs and I screamed “ARGH! Christian Christmas music!” Yes, I caught myself and realized what I said but that style is an insult to the poor Lord’s ears. Give me the classics or Rev. Al Green any day.

  26. trollontheloose says:

    I wonder when Russell tweeted a pic of Katy without make-up (she was still in bed) if it was a sort of punishment (she made him take it down right away unless it was her people). She didn’t look anything like a doll face she’s selling. I found it mean and rude but I was just wondering.. a retribution of some sort and if his new book will include some more.

  27. Adrien says:

    Lovin the hair color.

  28. HA! says:

    To Paria….I mean Paris, it looks like the papparazzi were screaming: Wonk it baby! Work that wonk!

    Katy: i must admit, your blue hair matches your eyes perfectly…weirdly cute…but those shoes….don’t walk on them if you’re gonna drink or snort…NOT SAFE!

    The dude looks like he just came out of “The Big Bang Theory” set.

  29. lucy2 says:

    You have to give a person warning that a giant close up of Paris Hilton is coming, because I actually recoiled upon scrolling down and seeing that. Yuck.

    That blue makes KP’s very pretty eyes stand out, but man, her hair must be in horrible shape after all that coloring.

  30. Sloane Wyatt says:

    It looks like Katy took her Persian gay drug dealer to her red carpet appearance on Friday! Her Sin City first photo op since her split won’t get her much sympathy, and it makes her look like the skeevy party girl she probably is.

    I buy she, this dude, RiRi, and Gawd knows who else, are snorting the ol’ Bolivian Marching Powder. I hate to say it, but Katy looks like a Euro Trash hag here.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      LOL! I think she looks cute but the rest of what you said applies. He looks like some kind of trashy Rico-Suave dude. I wasn’t sure if he was Persian, Columbian or Euro Trash but he sho is TRASH. Reminds me of a cross between that Sam Dude than hung around Britney and Adam what’s it from AI.

      • Mia says:

        Doesn’t he look like Chuck from Gossip Girl? Aka the dude that always looks like he’s smelling something lol

  31. Becky says:

    I don’t like the hair color particularly but she’s in her 20’s and if you’re going to dye your hair blue do it while you’re young and can still get away with it. Plus, it fits her image.

    I’m certainly not a fan but I think she’s pretty harmless. She should go out and enjoy the rest of her 20’s and not get married again for awhile. She has plenty of time to get married and have kids (if that’s what she ultimately wants to do). 5 to 10 years from now she most likely won’t be anywhere near as famous as she is now so she’ll have lots of time to have a family. She should make her money while she can so she can settle down and not have to work later on. I could be wrong, but I can’t see this girl having a long career as a pop star. Her fame is really based on her looks and image and she can only work that for so long.

  32. annaloo. says:

    Paris who?

  33. Seagulls says:

    There’s something vaguely Paula Deen-esque about the way Perry’s makeup is applied.

  34. Aud says:

    You’d have to be on coke to make it a whole night in those shoes…ouch!

  35. Michael Kelly says:

    Why is Paris Hilton at an event for Haiti? She does know that Haiti is full of black people right?

  36. Jen says:

    I’m going to stick up for the blue hair, here. As a fellow blunette, it is possible to make coloured hair look classy and pulled-together, and I do think she achieves that. I think it’d be better longer, though, and she needs to condition more and use less bleach.

    /blunette opinion over.

  37. Mosty says:

    This color is awesome. Works perfectly on Katy!
    And who punched Paris in the eye? 😛

  38. ZenB!tch says:

    Somewhere up there I said lashes are the latest make up trend – not EVERYONE should wear them… um Paris… they play up the wonk.

  39. Meanchick says:

    I like KP. Her eyes look sad though. WTF is PH’s pic posted? She looks stroke-y.

  40. Rio says:

    Damn, Paris looks OLD. At least 10, 15 years older than her age. Not sure if that’s due to drugs or the fact the last time we really saw her was in 2007.

  41. ZenB!tch says:

    Markus Molinari is a Hollywood Hanger-On and possibly Katy’s GBFF. http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/22/adam-lambert-sauli-koskinen-happy-birthday-markus/

    I hope she has a GBFF. I <3 mine!

  42. Valleygirl says:

    Ugh. Hate Cokey Perry. Russell can do so much better – he can have me!

  43. dahlia1947 says:

    I hate Katy Perry. Just annoying. U do know that little kids listen to your music right? Greedy b*&6h. The religious music didn’t make her money so let’s sell trashy music to little kids! Idiot.

    BTW short dresses and strappy shoes say: “Slutty.”

  44. HannahF says:

    I’m embarrassed that I know this but Markus Molinari was once one of Lindsay’s BFF’s. He was with her on the “my passport was stolen” adventure to Cannes.

  45. Dash says:

    Considering that guy was part of the Lilo entourage when she was partying up a storm and got stranded in Cannes and all that shit the last few years. None of the perry party stories would shock me too much if true to be honest

  46. Dash says:

    When Lindsay fell out with Pootie, Markus Molinari became Lindsays new Pootie for a year or so.

    • normades says:

      Yes this is her GBFF and he is a total enabler.

      I think Russel will find some ex model type with big boobies who’ll want to have his babies. I beleive he really wanted to be father and Katy just wasn’t ready.

  47. Faye says:

    OWN that wonk-eye, Paris. Turn your negatives into…something you can say is your thing, like Lindsay’s drug problem.

    Her wonky eye actually could be kinda cute if we all didn’t already know how awful she is.

  48. Ari says:

    Perry is promoting The Sims 3 right now so maybe that is why she has the blue hair? They just made a character of her in it.
