Katy Perry lights up American Idol and shows off her curves

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".

Music: HATCHMATIK


I first came across Montreal's HATCHMATIK with his insanely good remix of Animal Collective's "My Girls". It made me a fan. He's also done official remixes for the likes of Thunderheist, Yo Majesty, MIA, Chromeo, and Kanye West. The word got to me too late that he was in town on the weekend playing a Peer Pressure party at the Drake Underground with A-Rock. I found this out 1 hour after the show finished. DAMN YOU 2010! Either way, please check out his remixes and call me right away if you hear when he is playing next.
