    Katy Perry Bashes Russell Brand in New Revenge Song at Grammys

    Katy Perry Bashes Russell Brand in New Revenge Song at Grammys

    Take that, Russell Brand!

    A fiery Katy Perry took the stage at Sunday's Grammy Awards in L.A. and, instead of performing one of her many well-known hits, she used the opportunity to debut a new song, "Part of Me" -- a ditty not-so-subtly aimed at her soon-to-be ex Brand, 36, who blindsided her last December by filing for divorce after 14 months of marriage.

    Dressed in a skintight bodysuit, wearing a cropped, punk-blue wig, a ticked-off Perry, 27, prowled across the stage as she sang lyrics like "You chewed me up and spit me out/Like I was poison in your mouth/You took my light, you drained me down...You ripped me off, your love was cheap."

    Last week, Perry and British comic Brand signed papers to finalize their divorce in June; despite no prenup, Brand did not request spousal support or a share of Perry's massive earnings. Perry signed her documents with a smiley face.

    Still, an edgy Perry even tweaked the song's lyrics to make the song even more pointed at Brand. One line originally read "You can keep the dog from me, I never liked him anyway." For Sunday's show, Perry sang "Keep your diamond ring/In fact, you can keep everything...Except for me."

      I love Part of me. One of my favorites of Katy. I can't stand Russell. He makes everything a joke. Katy is better than him. He can't take that away from her. Love you Katy. Xxx

      Brand is a recovering drug and alcohol addick. Perry is a party girl. It's like oil and water, they don't mix. Sorry it didn't work out. He seems a very intelligent man, I don't really care what he looks like, I still like the guy. It seems Perry took the low road...

      Katy Perry has a very good voice, Russell Brand is very good at what he does. To mix a recovering alcoholic/drug/sex addict with someone with the partying lifestyle that Katy Perry has is never gone to work.

      I can't say I feel bad for either, at the end of the day they are both spoiled millionaire celebrities that will move on relatively quickly.

      I can relate to this song.....its a song of survivorship.

      Katy no talent , But Nice Breasts.......
    • Moddemmom  •  2 months ago
      Katy's cute and her songs are catchy. But, can she really sing? Sounds like autotune to me.
      • Howie 2 months ago
        She's definitely a product of the studio. She gets very pitchy live (without help)...
    • ms smith  •  2 months ago
      those kind of songs are personal and should be kept that way. In 20 years she will be embarassed by it.
    • joey  •  Los Angeles, United States  •  2 months ago
      she needs to quit whining and get over it....stop acting like a spoiled brat
    • Terry Hogan  •  Austin, United States  •  2 months ago
      By the way...Lose that crappy blue hair. You look like an idiot! Move on and get another old fad.
    • Cha Cha Cha  •  2 months ago

      Get it off your chest Katy and then get on with life. Just don't make the same mistake twice. Take time to find Mr. Right
    • Perfect One sucks  •  3 months ago
      She sounds like a heartbroken woman trying to make the best of it.
    • Carrie  •  3 months ago
      Vent girl- for now. Then move on. You are very talented - use it for good from now on.
    • Sean  •  Chicago, United States  •  2 months ago
      Don't know what she saw in him to begin with. Hey Katy, get ahold of me. You'll forget all about him.
    • Tracie  •  3 months ago
      Well the joke was on her. That was a awful performance. And the Smurf meets Transformer costume didn't help.
      • J 3 months ago
        I agree. It was a terrible performance.

        You'd think she'd never been dumped before. Classless.
    • M  •  3 months ago
      That's not a wig...
    • Speer  •  Sacramento, United States  •  3 months ago
      By her childlish behavior I guess the rumors of him leaving her because of all her hard partying may have some truth. Seriously she's going to criticize him after he pretty much hasn't taken a dime from her in the divorce. Very immature dissing someone in public... what is she Taylor Swift's twin???
      • Poopikinz 3 months ago
        Taylor Swift is the goody goody of the music industry. Still needs to mature and develop sophistication and identity.
