No labour today! Katy Perry relaxes with a beer and e-cigarette as she celebrates national holiday with a party for close pals



She is more often than not travelling around the globe promoting or performing her music.

But even Katy Perry sometimes takes a break and like the rest of America the singer took Monday off to celebrate Labour Day surrounded by her close pals.

And showing she really knows how to relax the 28-year-old – who was dressed in retro shorts and top – treated herself to a couple of beers and an e-cigarette as she partied alongside Khloe Kardashian.

Party time: Katy Perry threw a Labour Day bash for her close pals on Monday

Showing off her usual quirky style the Roar songstress wore a sunflower print pair of high waisted shorts with a matching shirt which was tied around her stomach – revealing her toned abs.



In keeping with the 50s vibe she wore her raven locks off her face with the help of a black and white striped headband, while she added a pair of hoop earrings.

Clearly relishing the day off the American star kept her make-up to a minimum and ditching the heels she opted for a pair of flat brown ballerina pumps.

Katy was spotted enjoying what looked like an e-cigarette, complete with stylish holder, and also a couple of refreshing beers.

Looking in high spirits the Calfornian-born babe was seen mingling with her guests who as well as enjoying a few drinks, made the most of the table tennis.

One such guest was Khloe Kardashian who took a well-deserved break from dealing with the drama surrounding her troubled husband Lamar Odom.

The 29-year-old reality star posted a picture of herself and some friends, including her ever present BFF Malika Haqq, at the bash on Instagram and looked like she hadn’t a care in the world.

Wearing a pair of demin shorts with a black T-shirt and a check shirt tied around her waist Khloe showed off her trim figure.

And as she arrived by car she flashed her hand – revealing she was still wearing her wedding ring.

Lets play: Jesse Metcalfe wasted no time in taking off his shirt to play ping pong at the party

The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star will no doubt have been happy to have a distraction from the drama in her personal life, after reports emerged she has given her troubled spouse an ultimatum to seek help or move out of their home.

She hopefully got the chance to do exactly that surrounded by the ever-happy Katy and the other guests.

Jesse Metcalfe was also spotted at the party and never shy about showing off his body he whipped off his shirt to play a spot of table tennis.

One person however who wasn’t noticeably present was Katy’s boyfriend John Mayer, but things are clearly still going well as the musician opened up about her in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

He said: ‘The fact we’re on such different sides of the coin keeps conflict at bay. She’s a whole different vibration and I’m totally supportive. I can say, ‘Hey, how was work?’ and really wonder how work was.’

Labour Day is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers, which falls on the first Monday of September and is considered the official end of summer.
