Also…we all know that Katy is still in the work hard/ play hard phase of her life. Every time I see her on an awards show she is tipsy and then this report popped up today:

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.

Heavy partying and drinking would explain Katy’s belly bump that everyone has been speculating on. Another little known fact is  that Russell was ready to start a family and Katy wanted to wait a few years and work on her career. And drink.

So it looks like we all owe Russ a big apology. Looks like the breakdown was on Katy’s side.

The big news this afternoon was that after all the speculation of them spending the holidays apart Russell Brand blindsided Katy Perry by filing for divorce.  Here is his pathetic statement: ‘Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.’

He might as well have said, “It’s not you love, it’s me.” Typical. At least he ended it and didn’t cheat on her all over the globe.

Can you IMAGINE the “I told you so’s” Katy is going to have to hear from her parents????

On another topic…I’d say they are real…and they are SPECTACULAR!

Superstar Perry, 27, was photographed enjoying the tropical waters in Hawaii on the big day, and was not wearing her wedding ring as she enjoyed the surf with a group of friends according to an eye-witness. Meanwhile, Britain’s Sun newspaper is reporting that Russell, 36 , was over 7000 miles away in a Cornwall pub, before heading along to his friend David Baddiel’s charity swim, where he was pictured.

But don’t worry…every time one of these rumors pops up…sweet Russell shoots it right back down. Like he did on Ellen last month.

The British comedian appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier this month and addressed the recent speculation that his one-year marriage has hit the skids. When told about the frenzied split speculation, Brand jokingly replied: ‘What?! She should have told me!’

He added: ‘I’ve treated the whole Internet now as a wicked little liar.’‘I am really happily married,’ he insisted. He added: ‘Being famous is like a little bit of you is taken away and goes off and lives on its own and does what it wants.’ ‘I wish it would do more interesting things.’‘I don’t know what is doing, but I’m married to Katy,’ he continued. ‘Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.’

When asked about starting a family, Brand said he’d really like to expand his brood with Perry.

‘I would like one. I love those little babies in the beginning,’ he said. Until then, the couple are content with being godparents to twin boys.‘I’m just observing them like I’m a scientist,’ he said of his godchildren.‘So I can learn from them. Me and Katy are their godparents, which mean we’re responsible for their spiritual growth. Should be interesting … ‘

And here is one of those things that Katy has been working hard on…new video for The One That Got Away

PS..that kitchy top she is wearing is a $700 Victoria Beckham tunic!

Not only did she get invited to attend the Teen Choice Awards Sunday night, she got to perform her campy song Friday with Katy Perry on stage last week.

There is too much Kardashian in this world for me. I do not need to know about Khloe’s reproductive problems. I do not need to watch Kim get married and the subsequent newly wed reality show that is surely to follow.

But every once in a while they do something I find interesting…like this family cover of Katy Perry’s ET.

Since it’s pretty much bombed in the Staes the powers that be called in the big guns at the London premiere today and had Katy Perry make a red carpet appearance. Big boobs never hurts.

And how cool is she???? LOVE LOVE LOVE the necklace.

Russ told Conan last night that he is ‘this close’ to finalizing a deal to join  the cast of Rock of Ages…already starring Tom Cruise. Can’t get more mainstream than that in the US.

As has long been speculated, Brand is in talks to join the big screen adaptation of the Broadway hit “Rock of Ages,” though his would-be part is as of yet unknown. The play — and now film — is about a rock bar in late 80′s Los Angeles, run by a washed up rocker. He puts on a concert with current star Stacee Jax, while navigating a relationship with a new girl in town.

He’d join what is already a superstar cast: Tom Cruise has signed on to play megastar Stacee Jaxx, while Alec Baldwin will play Dennis Dupree, the washed up rocker and club owner. Julianne Hough will take on the leading lady role, the aspiring singer new to LA, while Mary J. Blige will also be in the film. Amy Adams is in talks, as of two weeks ago, to play a journalist who falls for Jaxx.

Great cast. Add to that Katy Perry playing a stripper and we’ve got a hit kids!
