Katy Perry in her Part Of Me video

Katy Perry is showing off her fighting spirit following her split from Russell Brand by posing as a crack commando in her new military-themed promo.

The I Kissed a Girl hitmaker is currently in the midst of a divorce from the funnyman after their 14-month marriage crumbled at the end of last year following months of speculation about the state of the union.

She has maintained a dignified silence about the failed relationship since the split but has clearly decided to toughen up her public image - by smearing camouflage paint on her face and donning military fatigues in the video for her new single Part of Me.

The pop star is seen wielding a machine gun, marching in formation, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with other recruits.

Perry posted a link to a preview clip of the film on her Twitter.com page and hinted her hard-hitting new image is here to stay, writing:

"That was THEN & this is NOW: Sneak peek of my NEW VIDEO for PARTOFME."

....music videos need trailers? Since when? The whole 'action movie' attempt also is pretty weak, what exactly does Katy Perry have in common with the military other than a badly set USO show? Stay with being eye candy Katy, it's what you're good at! No GI Jane here! Plus I'm sure blue hair just doesn't fit on 'soldiers'. But nice how you can turn anything into publicity stunt!

'Ja ever notice the number of "entertainers" who are more than willing, actually anxious sometimes, to put on the uniform and play solider for a whole lot of money, but would NEVER consider doing so for real, even if they were guaranteed they would never do anything more dangerous or requiring more exertion than going thru boot camp?

Did you ever notice the number of right wing pundits and politicians who are more than willing, actually anxious sometimes to have others,but not themselves, put on the uniform and go to war. Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Chaney, Ashcroft, Rove, Gingrich, Romney, Santorum are just a few.

Thought it was a young Sean Penn. Kinda like Jeff Spicoli in fatigues.

I guessed it was Katy Perry just by the eyes. Do I get an award for being smart? Naah!

Would like to know however, why this even needed to have an article (which I did not read of course) written about it, for Katy Perry publicity perhaps.

The title 'pop star' threw me for a loop because I totally thought the pic was of Elijah Woods!

Katy Perry's usually hot, but she looks like Sean Penn in camo. That's not a compliment.

That was a pretty weak "preview". I would have been more excited if the headline read "Katy Perry GOES commando."
