Katy Perry: Russell Brand & I are “the new Brangelina”

Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2010 - Los Angeles

I know many of you are haters, but I’ve been missing juicy Brangelina gossip. There hasn’t been a good story about either (or both) of them in a while. Hopefully, that will end soon, because Angelina has Salt coming out in July, and I’ve heard a rumor that she’s going to be either the July or the August cover girl for Vanity Fair. She’ll probably appear on a few other monthly magazines too, so we’ll have lots of quotes to analyze and over-analyze.

Here’s a question – will I ever have another celebrity that I love to write about as much the Brangelina clan? Well, yes, I already do, with Gerard Butler and Clive Owen. Unfortunately Clive keeps his sh-t quiet (BOO!) but Gerard gives me some interesting stuff to play with. Still, Gerard is no Brangelina. Perhaps we do need a “new Brangelina” – a couple to discuss and analyze, people that everyone has an opinion on.

So who will the “new Brangelina” be? According to Katy Perry, she thinks it will be she and Russell Brand. What the…? Her actual words, when she was being interviewed by Seacrest: “I do feel like the new Brangelina with his movie coming out on Tuesday, Get Him to the Greek. We’re going to the premiere tomorrow and everything is happening at the same time. Which is somewhat of a blessing because if one of us wasn’t working, we’d get annoyed with each other.”

As Gawker replied, “Minus the bitter ex-wife, years of philanthropy, wild pack of children, and untouchable hotness, of course.” In what word is a skuzzy (albeit funny) British comedian and his barely talented fiancee “the new Brangelina”? Besides the side-by-side comparison which does Russell and Katy no favors, nobody really gives a sh-t about them.

One last quote… Katy told Seacrest that their wedding is going to be small because “we have so much bigness going on in our lives.” No comment.

    Maybe the new Barfalina…. (yes, immature I know…but so is this story) –nothing against the magnificent Kaiser, it’s against the two featured in this story–

    I think, maybe, she is referring to all of the attention that the two are receiving… It doesn’t seem like she is saying, “We are the next Brangelina.”..just that she feels like it with the attention.

    no Katy. you’re not. they’re gross individuals, more quirky than they are talented. I wouldn’t consider them a respectable Hollywood couple.

    I think you might be overreacting a bit. I am no die-hard Katy Perry fan, but she’s probably just emphasizing that there is a lot going on right now in terms of media attention.

    Oh geez. This “Hater” epidemic needs to stop. You can just not care for someone/not like them without being labeled a hater. What if I just don’t like you?

    Different strokes for different folks.

    Regarding Kate and Russell…Bitch please. They wish.

    I actually did not buy a magazine yesterday because she is on it and her style reminds me of plastic jewelry. Seriously, ever since Kaiser referred to her as a budget Bette Page that is all i can think about when i see her. But i think Russell is funny.

    I’m not a hater Kaiser. I love the Brangelina (ducks and swerves from the haters). Much love Jen fans, much love! Bring on as many stories about Brad & Angie as possible. Katy Perry and Russell Brand are not even the poor man’s Brangelina. They’re the I couldn’t afford a clown for my child’s birthday party, so I’ll just dress up some guy of the street, and have him perform at the party, equivalent of Brangelina.

    Blaster, ITA with you.

    I don’t “hate” Brangelina but I do wonder why CB and Kaiser love them to death but bash other cheating filandering ex-husbands and their future gf/wife. I mean Brangelina is no different from Tori/Dean and LeAnn/Eddie as far as I’m concerned. They are ALL cheaters and need to be treated fairly.

    I’m enjoying the break from both sides of that Hater Fence (we’ve got many Jen Haters in our midst as well). The comments always revert back to the same silly arguments and the same silly “points” about how important these people are when really, they aren’t.

    Katy Perry and Russel Brand will never reach their level of infamy.

    Jen, Brad and Angelina are movie superstars. Jen and Brad had been labeled America’s Sweethearts and then he leaves her after filming a movie with seductress Angelina Jolie. It’s so overly dramatic you’d think it was a movie.

    Welp, I’m a HUGE hater. Russell Brand is completely unfunny and actually makes me nauseous when I look at his greasy, ugly, hairy self, and Katy Perry is a screeching harpy who looks like Feivel from “An American Tail”. They are both talentless lowest common denominator scumbags that have absolutely zero redeeming value, so I am actually thrilled that they are together, if for no reason other than Russell won’t spread his multitude of STDs to anyone of any actual value or worth to society. They are absolutely perfect for each other, but sadly they seem to believe that people actually give two sh*ts about them, so they will likely continue their desperate famewhoring and try and keep themselves in the public eye. I wish they’d disappear forever, to be honest, but I don’t see it happening any time soon. They are a perfect couple for the times we live in now, though, sad to say.

    Strawberry Snort’em CoKaty is very delusional. Maybe she snorted a huge dose of her favourite recreational drug before meeting Gaycrest, hence the Brangelina targeting?
    These two are famewhores with absolutely no talent at all. It’s gonna be funny when her shams will be disveiled under everyone’s eyes.
    Perry, you’re so fake.
    Brand, you’re disgusting.
    And both are hideous.

    Even if she was joking, she’s still annoying piece of garbage, and “barely talented” at best. She tries so hard to be kooky and whatever but still comes off as having the personality of soggy bread. It boggles my mind that she is famous. I’d seriously rather have Heidi Montag and her sociopath husband.

    She’s CHEESY. She looks like her creepy bible banging mom …and she came from humble beginnings how fast they forget. She was a See U next TUESDAY on American Idol as a judge.. just vile. And her dated cheesy look needs to be redone. The short curled bangs are sad, remind me of the Betty Page wannabes/rockabilly chicks.

    Brand *is* scummy and the movie (we saw it already…it was on some torrent site ) was lame. One couple that will peter out sooner than not.. he;ll be caught with a hooker i bet. lol

    Oh please, this was taken completely out of context, on purpose to be INFLAMMATORY. Even I can see that, and all I did was read the story Kaiser wrote and the excerpts from the interview.

    Bad bad Kaiser.

    I’d like to add that I am not a fan of Brand – he looks like an eyeball rolling neanderthal in every pic. But I think Katie is cute enough. *shrug*

    I heard a Blind item that she’s doing blow. I saw a clip of her talking to Seacrest and it sure seemed like she’d been nose-skiing to me.

    Or maybe she’s just that flaky by nature.

    Good luck to them. Something tells me they Will Need It.

    (ducking)

    I’ve heard a couple of Russell’s comedy shows and he’s freaking hilarious. Greasy and creepy, but hilarious.

    Katy on the other hand.. apparently seems to be making a career out of being fakey-coy wearing shit I got rid of in a garage sale 20 years ago. At some point, the schtick gets old, Katy. Her song with Timbaland isn’t awful, but I can’t stand listening to it because I keep imagining her ugly mug when I hear it.

    Joking or not, when I hear her comparing herself to Angelina, the first thing I thought was, “yeah, because Angie would wear a dress with LED lights in it.”

  43. Diva says:

    Oh for God’s sake… almost everything either one of these two say to the press is tongue in cheek. But you just keep latching onto it like it’s genuine. Brand is a COMMEDIAN, and part of Katy’s schtick is to be “funny”, too… take the whole abstinence for a year BS that went around about a year ago… she’s said repeatedly that she DIDN’T say that in particular and what she DID say was a JOKE.

    But because all ya’ll want to dislike her because you don’t like her music, or her fashion, or because you can’t seem to understand that his hair looks the way it does because of styling and PRODUCT, jump all over anything they say just playing around as them being self-obsessed assholes.

    You know, just cos something or someone isn’t YOUR style, doesn’t make them pieces of shit.

    OK, I’m done ranting, lol.

    i hope you find a new brangie too, but this couple is not it. as long as russell brand looks like he does, no one is going to care as much. plus, the fame, the fortune, the worldly family, the weirdness, the breakup with anniston and all of angie’s ex’s – stirred the gossip mill with more spice than two people could combine. i hear you, but russell and katy won’t cut it!

    I think most people get that she was joking.. It is just so funny how SO MANY celebs have to make a Jolie, Pitt or JOLIE-PITT reference in their interviews. WHY is that even necessary. If you are a star rise on your own merit. Stop bringing this couple up in interviews just to get Publicity. That is the reason she mentioned them. And it worked. If she had not said that ONE thing would ANY one care about her interview NOPE. I can count so many other celeb that do this over and over again.. But I note Angelina nor Brad talk about anyone else in their interviews. They don’t need to.. If you are interesting the interview can stand on your stardom alone. If you are not; then mention Angelina or Brad to get some notice..

    Another example of coat-tailing at it’s worst. She and Russell both have successful careers. Talk about yourself or each other. Leave the Jolie-Pitts out of it.
