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????

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

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.

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!

He’s engaging, charming, gushes about his wife and jokes with Meredith Viera about an S&M whip.

Russ was on The Today Show promoting both his new movies Arthur and Hop.

Russell Brand played the perfect lovable junkie rock-star who does good in the end.

It’s been rumored for a while now that Russ’s backstory of his real life heroin and sex addiction is completely false and his entire public persona is just an image. I don’t know about that..but there is one thing that is fo’sho….dude was a fat kid. Which would explain the rockstar skinny body he sports as an adult.

As I watching the movie last night I was thinking there aren’t many guys at his age who can manage to keep that kind of flat stomach. He a long, lean British drink of water. But now I understand the motivation.

“The backdrop was the inspirational and majestic countryside of Northern India,” said the statement, which did not provide any further details on the ceremony. The wedding was held at the Aman-e-Khas luxury resort in a tiger reserve in Ranthambhore National Park, a hotel official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

No pictures yet as photographers were not allowed, but don’t worry. Katy and Russ sold their wedding pictures to some London mag so they will hit the net soon.

The wedding venue was lit with lamps, colorful lights illuminated the trees and flower garlands festooned the luxury tents at the resort, the hotel official said. Both Brand and Perry wore traditional Indian clothes to the wedding, the hotel official said. Perry donned a sari, as did a number of other female guests at the ceremony. On Friday, at a prenuptial celebration, Perry, like a typical Indian bride, had henna designs applied on her palms and hands.
