Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been keeping low profiles since Friday's divorce announcement, but on a brand-new song that just hit the Net, Perry sings about falling for the wrong guy.

The song, which Perry co-wrote, is actually a demo version of the Jessie James track "Bullet." While the song has many country music flourishes thanks to twangy guitars, the lyrics — minus references to cowboy boots and country accents — work for Perry. She opens with the lines: "My mama warned me about boys like you/ It's the reason I wear these high-heeled boots/ And let me give you a little piece of advice/ My papa packs heat and he won't think twice."

And the song's big chorus is signature Perry. On the sing-along refrain, Perry belts out, "I'm a bullet and I'm headed/ Straight for your heart/ Be careful what you start/ I'm a bullet and I'm headed/ Straight for your heart/ It's gonna leave a mark."

Although the song eventually landed on James' 2009 self-titled debut, the timing of the leak coincides with the news of Perry's split from comedian Brand after a little more than a year. Brand was spotted in his native England on Saturday, one day after the news broke of their breakup, while Perry, who has yet to speak about the split, is slated to perform at two concerts this month: one on January 19 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and another on January 22 in Manila, in the Philippines.

When MTV News spoke to some experts about Perry and Brand's breakup, they noted that the divorce didn't come as a surprise to them.

"From the get-go, I thought they were a sort of odd, mismatched pair," David Caplan, a celebrity news editor who has worked at publications including People and Star, told us. "She's so glamorous, pop and sexy, and he is diametrically not like that. He's a nice and funny guy, and from my encounters with her, I found her to be funny, have a sarcastic edge and a blast, but they weren't a match. Plus, she's more of a partier than he now, so their lifestyles were at odds."

How would you change Apple's iPhone 4S?

It's the dawn of a new year for How Would You Change, so let's take a look back at one of the hottest-selling phones of the last one. A low-key launch couldn't dispel a summer of hype for the handset: Apple went for evolution when we were expecting a revolution -- even though we'd seen the same with the 3G/3GS. In the cold light of January, we can see the 4S for what it is: a refined experience that lacks a compelling reason to pay an early-upgrade fee. If you were in the planning meeting for the iPhone 6 (it's a hunch), what would you be pushing for? Built-in NFC? Would you have kept Siri under wraps until it had left beta? Do you resent the existence of any phone that can't run Android? Constructive and polite suggestions in the comments below, impolite ones should be written down on a piece of paper and sent to the usual address (we kid, we kid).

Indian troops fire on Kashmir protesters, 1 killed

(AP)? SRINAGAR, India ? Police say troops in Indian-controlled Kashmir have opened fire on hundreds of villagers who were protesting against frequent power cuts, killing one person and injuring two others.

Police say the paramilitary troops began shooting Monday as the protesters shouted slogans outside the main gate of a power plant near Baramulla town.

They say one protester died on the spot and two others were hospitalized.

The Himalayan region faces power cuts of up to 16 hours a day despite bitterly cold winter temperatures as low as 3 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 16 Celsius).

Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan. There are frequent protests in the Indian-controlled portion in support of independence or a merger with Pakistan.

Strong earthquake jolts Japan, no tsunami warning (Reuters)

SINGAPORE (Reuters) ? A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 jolted eastern and northeastern Japan on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damages and no tsunami warning was issued.

The earthquake measured 4 in central Tokyo, Fukushima and their surrounding areas on the Japanese intensity scale, which measures ground motion, according to Japan Meteorological Agency, which uses a different measuring system than the U.S. Geological Survey.

A spokesman for Tokyo Electric Power said there were no reports of any abnormalities at the tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plan following the quake.

Some high-speed train services in northern Japan were suspended after the earthquake, but soon resumed operations, Kyodo news reported.

The 7.0 magnitude earthquake, at a depth of nearly 217 miles, was recorded off Japan's southeastern Izu islands on Sunday at 0527 GMT, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The Hawaii-based U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has not issued a tsunami warning following the earthquake located south-southwest of Hachijo-jima in the Izu islands.

Earthquakes are common in Japan, one of the world's most seismically active areas. The country accounts for about 20 percent of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater.

On March 11, 2011, the northeast coast was struck by a magnitude 9 earthquake, the strongest quake in Japan on record, and a massive tsunami, which triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years since Chernobyl.

The disaster left up to 23,000 dead or missing.

US says Egypt agrees to stop NGO raids (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Egyptian authorities agreed Friday to halt raids against non-governmental pro-democracy groups as senior Obama administration officials stepped up pressure for them to stop, U.S. officials said.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson spoke Friday with senior Egyptian officials to underscore Washington's concern about the raids on the organizations, including three groups funded by Washington, according to the Pentagon and the State Department.

Egyptian authorities told Patterson in Cairo that the raids would stop and seized property would be returned to the groups, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

She said Patterson had made clear that the U.S. expects "all international NGOs, including those that receive U.S. government support, (to) be able to return to normal operations as soon as possible in support of the democratic transition under way in Egypt."

Patterson agreed to take part in a dialogue with Egyptian officials to better explain the work of the organizations and address any concerns they might have. "These NGOs should be allowed to operate freely as they do in countries around the world in support of democracy and free elections," Nuland said.

After Patterson's discussions, Panetta spoke by phone to the head of Egypt's ruling military council, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, to emphasize the importance the administration places on the country's democratic transition and the ability of non-governmental organizations to work.

Panetta expressed appreciation for the decision to stop the raids and move to make it easier for NGOs to work in Egypt, Pentagon spokesman George Little said. "The secretary emphasized that it is critical for Egypt to continue on the path to democratic transition," he said.

Panetta "reaffirmed the importance of the US-Egyptian security relationship and made clear that the United States remains committed to the strategic partnership and stands ready to cooperate with Egypt as it continues its democratic transition," Little said.

On Thursday, Egyptian police and judicial officials raided a number of non-governmental organizations assisting in Egypt's transition, including the U.S.-funded National Democratic Institute, International Republican Institute and Freedom House.

What NBA player does Nikola Mirotic project as?

Most of us know by now, Nikola Mirotic won an MVP award playing for Real Madrid. When Mirotic comes over, we will have an NBA MVP playing with a former Euroleague MVP.

Unfortunately, Mirotic won't be coming over for another 3 years. If you can't wait to see him in action, check out the Piston's starting PF Jonas Jerebko. Imagine this guy playing alongside Derrick Rose, and you'll get an idea of how Mirotic will fit.

Jerebko is the same height and weight as Mirotic. He also has the same type of game and set of skills. Both are stretch four who also bring some toughness and rebounding to the position. Both are primarily sharp-shooters who can also drive and dunk on their man.

Another good comparison is young Hedo Turkoglu. Can't wait to get this guy in a Bulls uniform.
