The first stories about the Russell Brand / Katy Perry divorce were all about Russell not being a the marrying kind…that he may have reverted back to his old freaky ways. But that may not be true. Flash forward a few day later and we’ve learned that Katy asked Russell to file the papers so her very religious parents wouldn’t be upset.

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.

You knew it was coming. My first thoughts were that he got bored. I’ve never thought he could be a one woman man. (Are any of them really????)

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????

Very funny Saturday Night Live promo clips of Katy Perry mocking her husband Russell Brand and joshing around playfully with Kenan Thompson.

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

I’m hoping these pictures are misleading…but really? Why would he be holding this chicks hand?

The reformed lothario, 36 , is on set in Miami where he’s filming new movie Rock of Ages, and the fair haired maiden is clearly a crew member. Russell is given to such displays of warm affectionate towards people that such tender gestures largely go unnoticed.

But the fact that the pair of them were holding in hands today in a manner normally reserved for romantic couples is striking. It comes hot on the heels of news that Brand’s wife of eight months, pop sensation Katy Perry, is extending her tour well into November.

Russell Brand’s Arthur is not doing nearly as well as HOP at the theaters. I’m a little surprised too. Russ can certainly play a lovable drunk and well..Helen Mirren should be enough to draw the numbers.

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.
