Pop star Katy Perry is reportedly planning a divorce party on what would have been her second wedding anniversary with ex-husband Russell Brand.

The 'Wide Awake' songstress - whose divorce from actor and comedian Russell Brand was completed in July - would have been celebrating her second wedding anniversary on October 23, but instead of feeling blue about it, the 27-year-old is planning to throw a huge bash, which will also coincide with her 28th birthday.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ''Katy has been dreading October 23 for weeks now and has been trying to think of ways to turn it into something positive.

''It’s her birthday two days later and the last thing she wanted to do was spend that week depressed and miserable, which would then mean not doing anything to celebrate her birthday.

Continued the insider:

''Her pals have been persuading her to have a huge party or go to Vegas for a few days but Katy decided on throwing a small gathering at her home.

''She has decided to call it her divorce party and it will be a day of doing what she loves with her favourite people.''

Katy and Russell tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in India after a year of dating, but announced 14-months later that they had decided to part ways.

The bash will mark a new chapter for Perry, who embraced her spiritual side last month by taking on a soul-searching quest whilst taking a break from the music scene.
