Katy Perry has been turned into a computer game character.

The 'One That Got Away' singer - who recently split from husband Russell Brand - will appear in new PC game, 'The Sims 3 Showtime', which will be released in March.

Fans will be able to play as Katy in their games and obtain Katy Perry-themed goodies in the latest offering from the strategic life-simulation video game.

Katy - who will also front the global advertising campaign - said: "I love how you're able to play out different stories through your Sims characters - giving them different careers and watching them succeed.

It's cool to see the Sims' stage performances in 'The Sims 3 Showtime' decked out just like my 'California Dreams Tour' - even my cotton candy video screens are in there! I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I'm a Sim!"

Katy will work closely with The Sims Studio to create accessories, clothing, hairstyles, furniture and props so players can get to be the real Katy.

Miley Cyrus gave boyfriend Liam Hemsworth a puppy for his 22nd birthday.

The former 'Hannah Montana' star wanted to get her actor beau a present to remember so surprised him with a pet pooch. She tweeted: "Got Liam THE best bday pressie ever! (sic)"

She then posted a picture of the cute canine, who they have called Ziggy. When a fan tweeted that she was under the impression the dog's name was Daisy Dukes, Miley quickly clarified by saying: "Liam wanted to name her that! I said NOOO WAY! Shes an angel! she loves her bro & sis too! (sic)"

Miley, 19, and Liam first met on the set of 'The Last Song' in June 2009 and shared an 18 month relationship which ended in November 2010.

They rekindled their romance last summer and Miley recently described Liam as the perfect boyfriend because he is such a great listener.

The singer-and-actress - whose father is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus - recently said: "I think it's someone that is always there to listen and I think that's when people make mistakes because they always want to have the answers and I don't like people trying to fix me, I just like them being able to listen. But everything's great, I'm happy and there's nothing I can complain about.

I'm performing and doing what I love and I have awesome people in my life so nothing can really go wrong."

Jack Osbourne's fiancee is reportedly expecting a baby girl.

The reality TV star recently announced he and Lisa Stelley were having their first baby together and now sister Kelly Osbourne has revealed the gender of the unborn tot.

When asked if she was going to spoil the baby, Kelly told America's In Touch magazine: "My brother already said, 'You're not allowed to spoil her!' " However, she tried to backtrack and hurriedly said: "Oh, I actually don't even know what it is yet, no one does."

Although he can't wait to become a father, Jack recently revealed the baby "wasn't planned". He said: "I'm excited. It's a very good thing. It wasn't planned, if that tells you anything...

"I'm just really happy about the whole thing. It's going to be a new chapter in my life and I'm excited about it." The 'Adrenalin Junkie' host is known for his love of extreme sports but he knows he will have to curb his wild lifestyle when he is a father.

He said: "I can't be selfish. Ultimately your priorities do shift."

Khloe Kardashian is reportedly seeing fertility experts in a bid to get pregnant.

The reality TV star - who has made no secret of her desire to have a baby with her husband of two years, Lamar Odom - has been researching top specialists in Dallas, Texas, following her and Lamar's move there late last year.

A source close to Khloe - who underwent treatment in her home town of Los Angeles - told RadarOnline.com: "Khloe has been meeting with fertility doctors in Dallas, and Lamar has been going with her to several appointments.

It makes sense for her to have a fertility doctor in Dallas, as well as Los Angeles. Khloe very much wants to have a baby with Lamar, and their inability to get pregnant has had its rough moments, but this has only made their relationship stronger."

The couple - who moved to Dallas after basketball star Lamar was traded to the Dallas Mavericks from the Los Angeles Lakers in December - are also keen to show their baby struggle on their reality TV show so fans can know what's going on.

The source continued: "Khloe wants to shine a light on this very sensitive subject. Khloe has received such a warm welcome in Dallas, and she thinks that the move may actually help her get pregnant. Khloe is constantly asked when she is getting pregnant, it just made sense to let viewers know what is really going on."

Lamar already has two children, Destiny, 13, and 10-year-old Lamar Jr., from a previous relationship.

Tyra Banks has a new boyfriend.

The 'America's Next Top Model' host is said to be smitten with the mystery man after meeting him on a "spiritual break" in Bali, which she went on to get over her split from long-term boyfriend John Utendahl.

A source told People magazine: "It's a total long-distance romance. But it's a big deal." Tyra met her beau on her trip around Bali last month and after flying home to New York, she turned right around and flew back to Bali to spend the Christmas holidays with him.

Tyra separated from banker John in December after three years together and decided to seek solace in the Far East with a female friend. A source said: "Tyra has gone away with a female friend and has been island-hopping, visiting Bali and taking a spiritual retreat."

News of the couple's split comes as a shock as earlier this year Tyra admitted she wanted to have a baby. The former supermodel said: "I definitely want babies."
