Katy Perry, Russell Brand sat face-to-face at basketball game

Katy Perry had an awkward reunion with her ex-husband Russell Brand when they were sat face-to-face at a US basketball game last night (October 30).
The former couple, who separated last December after 14 months of marriage, found themselves on opposite sides of the court at an LA Lakers clash in the Staples Centre.

According to E!, Perry and Brand did not speak to each other and avoided eye contact, despite their close proximity.
Perry was at the game with her father Keith Hudson, while her comedian ex was spotted chatting to fellow celebrity spectator David Beckham.
The 'Part of Me' singer is now believed to be dating John Mayer, and the couple have apparently annoyed their neighbours by having "very loud sex".
Though the ex-partners may not be talking, her parents have allegedly been invited to a party thrown by Brand to celebrate 10 years of sobriety.

Katy Perry duets with autistic girl in 'Too Many Stars' - video

A clip of Katy Perry's special performance on Night of Too Many Stars has been released. Perry was promoted as appearing at the autism benefit for a special performance of her hit 'Firework' in honour of a lucky fan.

That fan turned out to be Jodi DiPiazza, a young girl who has coped with her autism diagnosis through music. DiPiazza accompanied Perry in the advertised performance of 'Firework', which left many in the audience in tears. Night of Too Many Stars host Jon Stewart even took a few moments to regain his composure before continuing the benefit.

All proceeds from the event go towards autism education programmes.
