* YOU BEEN SNAP * What happened to Russell? Katy Perry celebrates solo after her VMAs win"

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER*


After her stellar night at the MTV Video Music Awards, you would think the one person Katy Perry would want to celebrate with most would be her husband Russell Brand.

But the singer, 26, was forced to celebrate solo at the after party when the funnyman opted out of the night early.
According to reports, the Arthur star, 36, headed home straight after the awards ceremony at the Nokia Theatre, leaving Perry to toast her success.

Solo celebration: Katy Perry toasted her successful night at the MTV VMAs at the House of Hype at the SLS Hotel;

The T.G.I.F. singer instead carried on with a group of girlfriends at the House of Hype soiree, held at the SLS Hotel in West Hollywood.

According to the NY Daily News, Perry was spotted with her manager, stylist and some buddies at a table inside the party.

Perhaps taking advantage of Brand's absence, she tucked into a filet mignon steak, the paper reports. Perry is understood to try and adhere to her husband's stick vegetarian diet as much as possible, but allows herself to eat meat occasionally.

Togetherness: Katy and Russell arrived at the MTV VMAs ceremony together at the Nokia Theatre;

Other A-listers at the party were Britney Spears, Malin Akerman, Emma Roberts, Akon and Jamie Foxx - who took a turn behind the DJ decks.

Brand has been vocal on his battle with addiction in the past, and when he does attend industry parties of goes out with friends in LA he is usually seen clutching a glass of water throughout the evening.

It is unknown why Brand chose not to accompany his wife to the after-party, but they were the picture of togetherness when they arrived earlier at the awards ceremony.

Brand chivalrously escorted his wife up onto stage to conduct her pre-show MTV interview, standing proudly by the side of the platform waiting to take her hand and held her back down.

Unity: The pair cosied up for the cameras and Russell gave his wife a standing ovation when she was awarded throughout the night;

They then posed for photographers on the red carpet, kissing for the cameras.

Brand remained standing, clapping wildly, throughout Perry's first acceptance speech of the evening when she won Best Collaboration with Kanye West for E.T.

And she leaned in to embrace him when her name was announced for the night's top honour - video of the Year.

* YOU BEEN SNAP *MBUTA NANGA!! "Now Wenger closes in on £8m Mertesacker after wrapping up £6.2m Dos Santos to plug leaks"

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER*


Arsene Wenger is closing in on £8million Germany centre-back Per Mertesacker and has completed a £6.2m deal for Brazil left-back Andre dos Santos as he belatedly bids to plug the holes in a leaky Arsenal defence.

Stunned by his side's collapse in Sunday's 8-2 mauling at Manchester United, and the outcry that followed from supporters and former players, Wenger has finally acted to try and rescue a season that is in danger of falling apart inside the opening few weeks.

Mertesacker will fly into London on Tuesday afternoon for a medical and to finalise his personal terms.

Next in: Per Mertesacker in action for Werder Bremen;

He has agreed a four-year deal with dos Santos, after meeting Fenerbahce's asking price for the attacking full-back, and stepped up his pursuit of giant Werder Bremen defender Mertesacker.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed earlier this month that the Bundesliga club's financial plight had forced them to consider offers for the cornerstone of their defence and that a £8.7m price had been set.

And Wenger is ready to pay it after being shocked by his injury-hit back four's shortcomings at Old Trafford and becoming embroiled in a bitter row with Bolton over a valuation on England centre-half Gary Cahill.

Wanted: Andre dos Santos is edging towards Arsenal;

Claims by respected French newspaper L'Equipe on Tuesday that a deal has been done for Mertesacker are premature, but there are growing signs the 26-year old could be an Arsenal player ahead of Wednesday's transfer deadline.

At 6ft 6in, the vastly-experiened defender would provide the physical presence so conspicuously absent during Sunday's rout, and he is renowned for putting his height to good use at set-pieces in the opposition's area.

There are misgivings, however, about a lack of mobility that could be exploited by the pace most leading Barclays Premier League teams have at their disposal.

Depressing day: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger shows the strain at Old Trafford on Sunday;

The move for dos Santos came in the wake of widespread dismay within the Emirates at Wenger's decision to place his faith in injury-prone

England left-back Kieran Gibbs, after Gael Clichy left for Manchester City.
Gibbs duly picked up a hamstring injury and was ruled out at Old Trafford, leaving Armand Traore at the mercy of Nani. Both Traore and Carl Jenkinson were put to the sword, as Nani and Ashley Young ran riot.

Wenger reacted by splashing out on 28-year old dos Santos, who has 10 goals from 52 Fenerbahce appearances since joining them from Corinthians and has been capped 22 times by Brazil.

After flying into London for a medical on Tuesday, Dos Santos quickly agreed a four-year contract worth £40,000 a week and is expected to go straight into the team.

Exit door: Defender Armand Traore (left) has been allowed to join QPR;

* YOU BEEN SNAP*We can't keep up! Madame Tussauds reveal new waxwork figure of Rihanna... but the hair's a bit out of date"

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER*
She changes her hair 'do and appearance virtually every other week, so it's no wonder people can't keep up.

And as Madame Tussauds unveiled their new waxwork of Rihanna in Berlin, Germany, today, they had clearly based the figure on a previous incarnation of the singer.

While the waxwork had Rihanna's red hair, the singer has been wearing her locks curly recently, and more of an auburn colour - a change in appearance Madame Tussauds clearly hadn't anticipated.

Out of date: A new waxwork of Rihanna was unveiled in Berlin, but featured an old hairstyle of the singer's;

In addition, the garishly-coloured outfit the figure is wearing, which Rihanna donned in the David Guetta Who's That Chick video, also looks out of date, with Rihanna sporting more relaxed looks in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, the video for Rihanna and Nick Minaj's new video Fly has been released.

In the footage, the pair are seen wearing a series of couture outfits as they dance around a plane wreckage in the apocalypse-themed music video.

Quick change: Rihanna no longer has the bright red undercut her waxwork features, and now sports auburn curls;

Minaj is later seen battling ninjas in a white latex catsuit.

It's not the first time the pair have collaborated, as they previously worked together on Rihanna's 2009 record Rated R.

Talking about working with Minaj, Rihanna said recently: 'She has a great buzz and she has a "thing" to her. She is a star and that's why people love her. She's also really entertaining with her visual as well as her lyrics, and she has a great melody.

Collaboration: The video has now been released for Rihanna and Nicki Minaj's new video Fly;

'I'm really amazed that she can write like that. Nicki not only raps but she can write songs too...It was really easy actually.
'We were going back and forth with the texts on how we were going to get to do it because we were in two different places and had two opposite schedules.'
Minaj added: 'I wanted to work with Rihanna for a long time. I’m very proud of her accomplishments: especially since she was born on an island like me.

Fashionista: Minaj sports a variety of looks, including a white latex catsuit and denim tutu-style dress;

'This song is a female empowerment song. But then again, its not specific to just women. It speaks about flying, soaring high… in the face of every single solitary adversity that comes your way. I speak about how the media has attempted to box me in and how that has made me feel suffocated.

'After years of being dragged through the mud, I’ve mustered up the courage to re-define myself.

'I believe that I represent an entire generation. My fans have become my family, and together we have become a movement. Get ready for it. We came to win.'
