Late Friday afternoon (here on the East Coast), People Magazine broke the news that Russell Brand had filed for divorce from his wife of 14 months, Katy Perry. This news was not shocking to most of us. Personally, the only shocking thing was that they made it past a year. They were rarely together – Katy was always on tour, Russell was always?? Hanging out with his sober friends, I suppose, and working on movies. Russell and Katy spent the last months of their marriage claiming that they were fine, that they were fully committed to each other, that everything was rosy. Katy even said she was taking a year off, and some thought she was going to try to have a ?band-aid baby? to fix the marriage. In the end though, it played out just as expected. And now comes the post-game analysis, the ?WHY? of the breakup, as explained by various sources.
Sources close to Katy Perry and Russell Brand tell TMZ … the couple was infatuated with each other when they tied the knot, but the honeymoon ended very quickly. According to our sources, Katy and Russell were initially head over heels for each other ? each fascinated to be with someone who was an extreme opposite.
But we’re told the two began a regime of constant bickering after they got married — often in front of people at clubs and awards shows. They’re both very stubborn and neither would easily back down.
Our sources tell us … because of the friction and their schedules …they never spent long periods of time with each other.
One big bone of contention … Russell was much more of a homebody than Katy. Katy loved going out and partying, while Russell (who is sober) didn’t enjoy the scene at all. We’re told he would often insist on leaving places early and asking her to come with … which would trigger an argument.
But we’re told … as the dust settles, neither hates the other — far from it. There’s no bad blood between them, and neither of them believes the other cheated.
As one person put it, “It was just a bad pairing.”
[From TMZ]
I believe that Russell?s sobriety and more low-key lifestyle definitely played a part, especially compared to Katy?s rock star lifestyle. But I think I?d also attribute some of that to Katy?s youth too – she?s 27 years old? 27 going on 14, it seems. And Russell is nearly a decade older, but he?s already lived a full life of addiction and sexual escapades, and he?s done with it? sort of. But I really do wonder if he was screwing around on Katy. I think he probably was. Old dogs, etc.
Anyway, TMZ had another story about why Russell was the one to file for divorce – something about Katy?s parents and religion? blah:
Katy Perry WANTED Russell Brand to file the court papers in their divorce … because she didn’t want to upset her religious parents … sources connected to the former couple tell TMZ.
We’re told … Katy and Russell knew the relationship was on the rocks a couple of months ago — but didn’t want to give up on the marriage without making a concerted effort to work things out. But the effort fell flat … with both sides feeling “it just wasn’t there.”
We’re told both Katy and Russell were on board with the divorce a few weeks ago — but they didn’t want to be in town when the papers were filed … so he went back to England and she booked it to Hawaii.
Since Katy’s parents are evangelical Christians, we’re told she didn’t want to be the one to “officially” end the marriage by filing the docs … since she was raised to believe divorce is wrong.
After he filed the docs, Russell released a statement Friday insisting the two will “remain friends.”
[From TMZ]
So, Katy was raised to believe that ?divorce is wrong,? but her super-religious parents won?t mind because their daughter wasn?t the one to file? What kind of BS technicality is that?
Oh, and Russell could make tens of millions of dollars off of the divorce too – half of Katy?s earnings, because there was no prenup. Sigh? I hope they don?t fight about money. I doubt they will.

Well, I totally didn’t see this coming. Russell Brand and Katy Perry are calling it quits after a little more than one year together. Granted, in Hollywood years, that’s like the equivalent to at least 5. Says TMZ,
Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry … TMZ has learned.
In the docs, filed in L.A., Brand cites “irreconcilable differences.” The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India. They have no kids.
The divorce docs say there are “community property assets” — it’s a sign there might not be a prenup, or if there is one it doesn’t cover all of the earnings and other assets they accumulated.
The docs do not give a date the couple separated.
Russell has released a statement, claiming, “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”
Russell proposed to Katy in India on New Year’s Eve 2009 — nearly two years ago … to the day.
Sources had told TMZ the couple was having problems, evidenced by the fact that they spent Christmas apart and neither was wearing a wedding ring.
Although it’s not 100%, based on what we now know it appears Brand may have blindsided Perry by filing the divorce petition.
Russell appeared on “Ellen” just this month, slamming divorce rumors — claiming, “I’m really happily married … I?m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I?m still alive.”
So judging from what he said, Russell Brand is now a walker, and the zombie apocalypse is upon us. That’s okay, I’ve been stockpiling rations and guns in my mom’s basement for the past 5 years. I’m good to go.

Opposite of shocking, party of two. After a lot of reports about their crumbling marriage, it looks like Katy Perry and Russell Brand are over. Who would have thought? Oh, right. Everyone. The only thing that is somewhat shocking is that it looks like Rusty is the one who is pulling the plug.
A year after their fairy-tale wedding in India, it seems Katy Perry and Russell Brand won’t be living happily ever after.
Brand, 36, filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences.
“Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage,” he said in a statement to PEOPLE. “I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”
The Superior Court filing, which lists Perry by her given name of Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, does not list a date of separation.
The pair have been spotted without their wedding rings in recent days amid reports they spent the holidays apart, with Perry in Hawaii and Brand in the U.K.
The California-born pop star, 27, and the British comedian-turned-actor began dating in 2009. Brand popped the question four months later, and they were married in October 2010 in a lavish ceremony ? that included two elephants as well as acrobats and jugglers ? at a luxury resort in northern India.
In the early months of their marriage, the two were giddy in their compliments to each other.
Perry called Brand her great man of God, while Brand said his spiritual and emotional connection to his bride made him “love everyone.”
In Redbook’s April issue, Brand said he had been more than happy to give up his partying ways to settle down.
“I think I was ready for it,” he said. “If you’re wild, like a wild animal, marriage won’t contain you. I think that’s how a lot of people get into trouble.”
But in recent weeks, they faced a drumbeat of rumors of trouble in their marriage. Both laughed off the reports, with Brand telling Ellen DeGeneres earlier this month, “I am really happily married.”

Look, I’m not one of the people who is going to pretend to get all sad about this. This union had “disaster” written all over it. The single biggest signal for me was that Rusty & Katy got married on literally their only free week in a year full of competing schedules. Just after their wedding, Katy was promoting her album and on tour, and Russell was promoting and shooting films. And when they were together, it was constant fighting and bickering, despite the denials and photo ops. The writing was on the wall during the VMAs in September, when Katy was wasted (and talking about how wasted she was) and Russell was only there to discuss Amy Winehouse and sobriety. Disaster. Oh, and I totally think Russell was screwing around too. He and that blonde were looking very friendly.
Oh, and they can both eat a bag of dicks for announcing this late on a Friday before a holiday.

Good news everyone who thinks they have a chance with Katy Perry. Katy Perry and Russell Brand had a fight over the holidays which resulted in them spending Christmas thousands of miles apart. A source says they haven’t split just yet but the fights are getting worse.
“They had a massive fight,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “She was like, ‘F–k you. I’m going to do my own thing.’ Russell replied, ‘Fine, f–k you too.’” Us Weekly
Katy was originally planning to fly her family to London for the holidays, but after the fight, Perry went to Hawaii instead with some friends.
One of the main issues says a source, “Katy doesn’t think Russell respects her parents’ Christian beliefs or her friends.”
Which is surprising because anyone could have figured this out beforehand. Russell Brand is an ex-drug addict and controversial comedian who banged a lot of women. “Christian beliefs” ranks right under “bums taking a dump in the street” on Brand’s list of things he respects

Yesterday, we discussed Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s respective solo Christmas celebrations 7000 miles apart from each other. It seemed like a bizarre move since Katy is no longer on tour and also quite suspicious from a couple who has invested so much energy running their mouths to talk show hosts and People about how their union is both so marvelous and enlightened that we couldn’t possibly understand. Yet the couple spent one of the most important (from either a secular or religious standpoint) days of the year with one of them in Hawaii and the other in Cornwall. So what gives?
As a side note, some of you took slight offense yesterday at my description of Katy as “too selfish” to have a baby, so I’d like to stress that I don’t believe that all childless women are inherently “selfish.” It’s just that Katy herself has pulled such a huge bait and switch by her own admissions, and I think that Russell was really looking forward to settling down. When they married, she acted like she was game for starting a family, but now she’s all about loving alcohol instead. Obviously, she’s not ready for kids and would rather please herself, and that’s her prerogative, but no one can blame Russell (a recovering addict) if he’s disappointed as a result. Also, I will gladly point out that I’m a mother and still consider myself to be a pretty “selfish” human being, and I continually struggle to beat that aspect of my own personality into submission. Being a mother is a huge adjustment is all I’m saying, and that doesn’t make it any more lofty than a childless state. It’s just a huge undertaking and signals the virtual end of “me time,” and Katy obviously isn’t into going there at this point and possibly never.
At any rate, Us Weekly has dug a bit deeper into the Christmas mystery and has unearthed an exclusive on Katy and Russell’s “massive fight” that resulted in very separate holidays for the couple:
It was Christmastime fireworks for Katy Perry and Russell Brand this year — but not the good kind!
After planning to whisk her family via private jet to husband Brand’s London hometown for the holidays, Perry, 27, changed course, opting to fly to Hawaii with friends.
“They had a massive fight,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “She was like, ‘F–k you. I’m going to do my own thing.’ Russell replied, ‘Fine, f–k you too.’”
Which explains why, come Dec. 25, the multi-platinum singer was snapped splashing in the Pacific Ocean off Kauai — sans wedding ring. Meanwhile, British comic Brand, 36, was catching up with a pal in a pub in chilly Coverack, Cornwall.
Though the pair denied divorce rumors in November, sources say trouble is brewing. “They haven’t split up just yet, but things are not good,” says the first source. “The fighting is getting worse.”
At issue? Among other things, explains another source: “Katy doesn’t think Russell respects her parents’ Christian beliefs or her friends.”
So will the couple — who wed in October 2010 after a whirlwind courtship — make it through 2012? Says the first source, “The split may come soon, but they are both so dramatic and volatile, the relationship could become great again.”
Honestly? It sounds like Russell woke up one day and figured out that Katy wasn’t nearly as “endlessly fascinating” as he’d believed. Of course, everyone else knew it all along. Poor guy. I’m not sure whether Russell and Katy would actually fight over her parents’ religion, since they have famously declared that Katy herself is destined to go to hell. Besides, Russell hangs with Katy’s dad in public and probably has grown quite accustomed to brushing off all offers of being saved. However and as to the notion of Russell disliking Katy’s friends, if they’re as immature as she portrays herself to be, then I can see why Russell wouldn’t be crazy about spending Christmas with the lot of them.
Overall, I think the most telling aspect of this current round of rumors is the Twitter silence of both Katy and Russell, who have both taken time out to tweet about other things, in regard to their relationship. Neither one of them has run to the media with a denial either. Maybe they’re both finally tired of faking it.

Katy Perry showed up at the Grove to promote her new fragrance, Meow, with a noticeable bump and now everyone wants to know whether or not she’s pregnant. She’s most likely not and doesn’t look that pregnant but we should all keep asking if she is anyway. That way this fatty will get all sad and decide to stop being so fat.

Just in time for some last-minute shopping, Katy Perry launched her new fragrance Meow! at The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday (December 14).
The ?Firework? songstress rode around on the mall?s old fashioned train to greet fans and press, sporting a snug-fitting Pink dress with massive heels.
She told the crowd, "I know you guys want a new record. But I have to live a little so all the songs will be something worth listening to. I think that maybe I'm just going to think about enjoying Christmas and New Year's."
"The first fragrance [Purr] was more floral, by a long while, and this one is a lot more edible. I think that if you can hear a song, and it'll take you back to that moment, or that person, or that time in your life. Same thing with your sense of smell - it's really powerful. So I thought I could make memories for people with Purr or Meow."

Katy Perry keeps denying it, but I think this is for real – she?s got a gut full of Russell Brand baby. These are pics of Katy yesterday in Hollywood, where she was promoting her new perfume, ?Meow!? It?s not even that Katy has ?gained weight? – look at her figure. If anything, she?s gotten smaller in her arms and legs. She only seems to be putting on weight in her lower abdomen, otherwise known as ?the baby area.? In the profile pics, you can really see it.
I have mixed feelings IF Katy is really pregnant. I think she?s probably doing it to ?fix? her marriage to Russell Brand, and that band-aid babies don?t really ?fix? anything in the long run. Which makes me feel bad for her, really. Poor kid.
By the way, Katy was named on Barbara Walters? ?Most Fascinating People of 2011? list. Katy?s not the worst inclusion – she had five number-one hits this year, and her album sold like crazy. (Sidenote: Steve Jobs was number one on the list.) In the interview with Barbara, Katy was asked about her marriage (?I think that it?s lovely so far??), Russell?s past addiction to heroin (?I think that there?s a capacity for change in anyone?) and the baby rumors – ?That?s just Taco Bell right here.? So, another denial. Here’s the interview:

Taking the helm of the long-running NBC sketch comedy show's latest installment, Katy Perry hosted last night's (December 10) episode of "Saturday Night Live".
The "One That Got Away" singer was decked out in a holiday-inspired ensemble opened up the show with a monologue in by introducing her neighbor (Kristen Wiig), as well as a kid she used to babysit (Andy Samberg) and a friend named Tom (Bill Hader) - with the trio portraying styles from a range of her past music videos.
Highlights of the latest "SNL" included a digital short which saw Perry team up with Samberg as best friends sharing innocent holiday cheer before meeting two not-so-pleasant characters (played by Matt Damon and Val Kilmer) - with the group them uniting into "four best friends".
The program also found Alec Baldwin poke fun at his headline making American Airlines incident while playing a character named Captain Steve Rogers during Weekend Update.
Asked by Seth Meyers to share his take on Baldwin being booted from the flight, Capt. Rogers told, ?It was awful, Seth. Which is why it was important of me to come here and on behalf of everyone at American Airlines, issue an apology to Mr. Alec Baldwin! Mr. Baldwin is an American treasure, and I am ashamed at the he was treated! what harm would it do to let him keep playing his game, not any game have you! But a word game for smart people!?
Meanwhile, the night's musical guest was Robyn, who performed renditions of "Dancing On My Own" and "Call Your Girlfriend" during the course of the show.
Check out Katy's monologue in the player above, with the rest of the "Saturday Night Live" sketches and performances found below!

Hard at work on a comedy sketch, Katy Perry was spotted out in New York City with Matt Damon, Val Kilmer and Andy Samberg today (December 9).
The ?Hot N Cold? songstress will be taking over the hosting duties for ?Saturday Night Live? tomorrow night, and she got some good advice from her husband Russell Brand.
Katy told press, "I've only ever hosted, like, dinner parties and birthday parties. This is a bit more than that. It's not as intimidating when you get here because it's a bit smaller than it looks on TV, and I'm up for a challenge, for something new. I love to be challenged ... I married Russell Brand."
"My husband, of course, every day I call him and I'm like 'this happened' and he's like, 'I know what that means and here's the next play-by-play for tomorrow,' so he's gotten me really prepared for this week, thankfully."
