Twilight star Robert Pattinson, who recently split from actress girlfriend Kristen Stewart, is reportedly dating singer-songwriter Katy Perry.
 
The 27-year-old actor's night-out with Perry is considered one of the reasons for his split with Stewart, reported Daily Star.
 
Pattinson was spotted in New York with the 28-year-old singer two weeks before he broke up Stewart.
 
'The couple (Pattinson and Perry) always liked each other. She and Rob started off in the Bowery Ballroom, where they watched a gig by the indie band Daughter with a whole bunch of people, mainly pals of hers.
 
'Then they took off with a smaller group for a much more intimate venue, The Spot at the Trump SoHo Hotel, where it was
obvious there was chemistry between them. They've always liked each other,' a source said.
 
It was reported that Pattinson was outraged by the way Perry's ex-husband, Russell Brand, cheated on her. Even Perry
empathises with Pattinson as Stewart had cheated on him with British director Rupert Sanders.
 
'Both Rob and Katy have been so unlucky in love and now it's almost as if they are kindred spirits. Katy says she
finds him adorable and he is clearly very attracted to her.

'They were the last to leave the Spot Lounge and, while there were no public ­displays of affection, it was very clear they
were extremely happy in each other's company,' the source added.

Pop star Britney Spears reportedly wants to marry and have a baby with new boyfriend David Lucado.
 
The 31-year-old is keen to tie the knot and start a family, reported Showbizspy.
 
'She refuses to fall into that trap again with her new guy. Britney told David she wants a firm commitment that he wants to marry and give her a child -- or get out of her life for good.
 
'To Britney's surprise, David presented her with a modest gold ring to prove he's totally committed to her. David is planning a more formal engagement with Britney later this year, but he wanted to give her something now to show her he's in this relationship for the long haul,' a source said.

Beatles legend Paul McCartney paid a tribute to rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley when he visited the grave of the musician over the weekend.
 
The 70-year-old singer toured Graceland mansion, Elvis' former home, before stopping by the final resting place of the late musician and leaving one of his own guitar picks so 'Elvis can play in heaven,' reported Contactmusic.
 
Paul tweeted a picture of himself (above) at Elvis' grave when he was in US state of Tennessee for his Out There tour when he
decided to make this trip.
 
Artist and musician Yoko Ono, who was married to John Lennon, said, 'Yes, I think (Paul) was sweet to say that (I
wasn't to blame) and probably he needed courage to say it. That's why he couldn't say it until now.'
