Katy encourages Pattinson to make the break

Katy Perry allegedly encouraged Robert Pattinson to break up with Kristen Stewart.

The 27-year-old British actor dumped his former 'Twilight Saga' co-star - who had a brief fling with married director Rupert Sanders last summer - recently after more than four years together because his friends, including the 'Firework' singer, reportedly told him that he deserves better.
