Katy Perry and John Mayer are still keeping up their charade of a romance well into the new year. I’m amazed, really, that they are still together. These two lovebirds stepped out for a coupley date on Valentine’s day. We don’t have the photos, but you can see them here. Go look — you can see Katy’s new bobbed hair (wig?) and quirky tiara.

In those photos, Katy is wearing a ring on her very important finger. We’re supposed to carefully debate the appearance of this ring right now. What does it mean? I think it means Katy wants us to see the ring and wonder whether she and Johnny boy are engaged. They’re not. They are SO not engaged. Katy pulled this stunt last Valentine’s day too when John gave her a ruby ring that looked like costume jewelry. This is their little mutual game. It keeps John in the headlines and makes Katy feel important, like she’s “tamed” another bad boy.

Here are some photos of John being honored at the UCLA Head & Neck Surgery Luminary awards. Remember, he had that throat granuloma removed a few years ago? He looks stoned.
