EXCLUSIVE: Diva, much? Katy Perry refuses to talk to Aussie media at ARIAs

After her recent run-ins with Australian paparazzi during her down time, Katy Perry gave local press the cold shoulder at the 2014 ARIA Awards red carpet this evening at The Star in Sydney.

TheFIX can exclusively reveal that the visiting international pop star snubbed all media outlets with no interviews, despite being the biggest name at tonight's ceremony (along with One Direction).

And while her 1D pals will sing at the awards, the 30-year-old has refused to perform, opting just to present one of the shiny statues.

A source told TheFIX that Katy didn't want to perform because it's "her night off" from her Australian Prismatic tour. So all her fans at home watching on TV will have to be content with a "hi-and-bye" kind of appearance on the ARIAs broadcast on Ten. Unless you buy a ticket to one of her concerts, of course.

However, Katy happily took selfies with a few lucky fans and took a spin in the ARIAs' 360-degree red carpet booth. And she even had a cuddle and flirty chuckle with Niall Horan from 1D! Nine caught the moment on camera:

But Katy's obvs had enough of the Australian media after paparazzi followed her to a nudist beach in Sydney last weekend.

The singer singled out paparazzo Jamie Fawcett on Twitter, telling her 60million followers that she has images of his "tiny penis" and "large gut". She also warned Australian outlets not to post "unauthorised photos of me in a bikini from these disgusting/perverted old men".

Jamie Fawcett, who was accused of bugging Nicole Kidman's home in 2005, has issued a letter to Katy demanding that she remove the allegedly defamatory posts from Twitter.
