Katy Perry is suing an Australian magazine that claimed she had an affair with her record producer after marrying Russell Brand.<\/p>\n

The star launched claim today in Melbourne, Australia, just hours after arriving Down Under for the latest leg of her world tour.<\/p>\n

Last month, the magazine NW claimed she had an ‘intimate relationship’ with Benny Blanco, and as a result her marriage was put in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

\"Drama<\/p>\n

Drama Down Under: Katy Perry arrived in Melbourne today after launching legal action against an Australian magazine<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Katy, 26, is now pursuing damages and aggravated damages, and reports Down Under say she could win a six-figure payout.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her writ lodged at the Victoria Supreme Court against the mag’s publisher, ACP Magazines, says: ‘By reason of the publication of the article, the plaintiff (Perry) has been gravely injured in her reputation and feelings (and) has suffered distress, embarrassment and humiliation.’<\/p>\n

The NW story quoted a ‘friend’ of Katy’s called Angela Summers and also a source called Marlon David.<\/p>\n

‘Embarrassed and humiliated’: Katy could win a six-figure payout over the report she had an affair with music producer Benny Blanco<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Katy says she does not know either person.<\/p>\n

The magazine also said Katy was present when Blanco mixed her track California Girls, which she says is not true.<\/p>\n

Katy, who married Russell Brand in a Hindu ceremony in India last October, says the magazine did not check the story with her and it has refused to apologise ‘although it was clearly inaccurate’.<\/p>\n

NW has not issued a response to the writ.<\/p>\n

Benny Blanco has also produced tracks by Britney Spears, Justin Bieber and Ke$ha.<\/p>\n

\"Affectionate:<\/p>\n

Affectionate: Katy joined her husband Russell Brand at the premier of Arthur at London’s O2 Arena last week<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Katy is gearing up to kick off the latest leg of her California Dreams tour.<\/p>\n

She touched down in Melbourne today in a \u00a31,800 cream coloured Chanel tracksuit from the label’s 2011 spring\/summer collection.<\/p>\n

It kicks off tomorrow night in Melbourne and the star is clearly thrilled at the prospect of performing for her Australian fans.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Writing on her official Twitter, she said: ‘#THECALIFORNIADREAMSTOUR HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED IN OZ! WE SO EXCITED.’<\/p>\n

However, she has had to leave her husband behind at their home in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Katy is due to attend an official launch for her perfume and she will also perform at Sunday’s Logies, Australia’s TV awards ceremony, which is being held in the city.<\/p>\n
