Out of all the telling photos of Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s relationship, I have to admit that this one, taken in November 2011, is one of my favorites. This was the romantic bike ride that wasn’t, and now Russell has moved on to enjoying subsequent bike rides with the butts of random brunettes. Not that Russell is alone for moving on so soon, for Katy is allegedly already shacking up with Robert Ackroyd of Florence + the Machine. Good news though! Now Katy and Russell are officially divorced. Anyone want to get in line for a quick shag?
Katy Perry and Russell Brand are officially no longer a part of each other.
E! News has confirmed that the “Part of Me” singer’s marriage to the British funnyman came to a hard, court-sanctioned end Monday, closing the book on one of showbiz’s oddest couples whose 14-month union seemed to end as quickly as it began.
The couple reached an agreement about their divorce back in February but, per California law, had to wait for six months for the union to be officially dissolved.
The duo married on Oct. 23, 2010, but Brand filed for divorce the following December, citing irreconcilable differences.
And although they officially became single today, that hasn’t stopped either from jumping back into the dating pool: Back in March, Perry burned up the Paris party scene with hottie French model Baptiste Giabiconi and then, just a month later, was spotted packing on the PDA with Florence + the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd at Coachella.
Brand, meanwhile, was linked to Hungarian model Nikolett Barabas in March.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t some remorse, though: In May, the funnyman confessed to Ellen DeGeneres his affection for his ex, saying, “I still love her as a human being” and added that he’s only got “love and positivity for her.”
Still, don’t start busting out the Kleenex: Perry and Brand have been keeping plenty busy these days to mope over anything.
[From E! Online]
The couple was married for just fourteen months, and the divorce took six months to finalize, which perhaps reinforces the fact that both of them leapt into a presumably serious relationship without thinking. Oh well — they wouldn’t be the first ones to do so, and they won’t be the last.
Meanwhile, Russell is preparing to perform at the Olympic closing ceremony in London. He’ll be singing Beatles and Sex Pistols tunes with comedy duo French and Saunders, and then afterward, Russell will probably go shag a few hundred athletes in the Olympic village. Those who perform are supposed to represent the “Best of London,” but we’ll see about that.
As for Katy, her stylist (Johnny Wujek) has given a recent interview about how she loves to walk around nude backstage and doesn’t care who sees it. At the same time, Katy’s insurers have put the kibosh on her trademark spinning peppermint bra because her hair wigs keep becoming entangled in the wheels. Such problems.
So what’s the over/under on whether Katy or Russell will remarry first?

Russell is so gross. Why would would anyone want to get with that?????
Everybody has different tastes, but I’ll admit to seeing some of the attraction for Brand. Watching him give evidence in a British court regarding the need for rehabilitation for addicts proved he is a relatively articulate and passionate guy. (Don’t get me wrong, I’d demand he go bleach himself before getting too up close and personal)
That… and if I HAD to pick one of the two to get stuck in an elevator with, I’d pick him. The scent of patchouli might be overwhelming, but it has to be better than the overwhelming urge to shove one of her ‘kooky’ wigs into Katy’s mouth to shut out the offkey drivel she spouts. (Sorry. He at least is a moderately funny & talented comic. SHE couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket with 2 huge handles and the whole little kid candy shtick mixed with wanna be sex kitten makes me want to gag.)
He can make people laugh, he’s very intelligent and I suspect he’s good at the love bombing. And, given he refused to take any of KP’s money, he does have at least some integrity.
The fact he looks like he’s not washed in a decade would still be a dealbreaker for me though.
I will never understand why there is this unanimous consensus that Russell having long hair and a beard automatically means he “doesn’t wash” or smells like patchouli. I’ve met the man on several occasions and he’s very clean and smells fine. The only thing I’ve ever smelled on him was some kind of coconut smell from his hair products. Just because he has an eccentric, kind of bohemian style, doesn’t equate with lack of cleanliness. I wish people weren’t so closed minded about people with different styles than what’s conventionally considered “normal” in our culture.
I don’t think any of them would get married soon. But shagging around?? A lot??? You betcha!!
But if it’s true they divorced because they disagreed over having a baby, perhaps Russel would be the first one to have a baby whether or not he’s going to marry the baby’s mother.
Gross! I bet Russel sports a massive bush.
Wouldn’t it be weirder if he was hairless like a sharpay?
You have made my day! Terrible but funny
Oh noes not body hair!
I am so glad I’m old enough to have missed the current obsession with everyone waxing everything. If I was with a man and he dropped his pants and he didn’t have pubic hair, I’d tell him to put his pants back on and come back when he looked like a man, not a boy.
UGH… I’m sorry, but he reeeallly grosses me out! He looks…. Greasy… And I have a feeling he smells bad. LOL!.. And I do not think he is funny at all!
Maybe that’s wht Katy kissed a girl, and she liked it… *grins* I’m bad……
I met Russell aboyt 18 months ago, and he’s not greasy in person. He’s actually quite clean looking and doesn’t smell bad. Yes, I gave him a sniff. I couldn’t help myself. His hair was luxurious.
He needs to not be wearing wife beaters out in public. Few people look good in them and he’s not one of em.
It will be him. He wants a family. Some desperate fame whore will get knocked up by him-and that will be it.
Nope, no takers.
He looks like he reeks of unwashed balls and Newcastle Brown Ale.
LOL!! Thanks for the giggle nunya beeswax 😀
lol! thanks for the chuckle.
I cannot help myself and I cannot begin to explain why or how, but I find Russell Brand terribly attractive. Despite my best efforts to resist the attraction. I’m completely mystified. I really am. And for the record, I can’t really hate on Katy Perry. Maybe because I grew up oppressively religious myself, and wouldn’t say no if the chance came my way to cavort in front of my former churchie friends and family members in nothing more than a sparkly leotard and spinning peppermint candy boobs.
I bet she remarries in 2-3 yrs and he becomes a father to some model’s behbeh in the same amount of time but doesn’t marry her.
Russell Brand is very, very smart. Marrying Katy Perry was dumb, since they’re obviously not compatible, but he took care of that mistake quickly. He’s also very, very hot. He’s hairy, not dirty. I love a man who can actually grow a beard, and not a pathetic little scrub like Brad Pitt keeps trying. I’ve had sort of a thing for Russell Brand ever since I read his letter about Amy Winehouse’s death. It was one of the best things I’ve ever read about addiction.
I don’t have anything against Katy Perry. She doesn’t take herself seriously, and that’s refreshing.
I’m right there with you! I’ve always thought he was hot – I’m a sucker for those eloquent cockney types. I’m reading his second book at the moment and he’s so funny, I’d hit that in a second. Although I’d have to get myself tested the next day… I’d also have a go at Katy, but only if she kept her mouth shut.
Right on, Emily, for pointing out that he is hairy, not dirty! I posted something similar above. I don’t get why people think hairy and dirty are synonymous. Hair, even when it is long and/or in the form of a beard, can be easily washed! If people would get over the hair/beard thing, they’d see what a handsome guy he really is (great cheekbones, full lips, eyes that sparkle with mischief) on top of being witty and eloquent. Yes, I really do love Russell Brand. 😉
Russell Brand? NO WAY. He seems like the type that is into the positive vibe so much that he uses it as a way to control the people around him.
I had a manager that was into that “positive vibe thing” and if anything negative around her was spoken or happened, she would FREAK out and come off her hinges. It was creepy.
I love him. I would take that. No problem.
I think he’s physically attractive and funny. After he married Katy he definitely became less attractive to me because she creeps me out. I’ve seen a couple of his movies and standup, I think he’s a talented man, but I can’t really say I can fantasize about him because he wouldn’t find me attractive, and he seems like even if he’s with a beautiful woman he’d still be more into himself. I like him though, and don’t get the contempt he seems to inspire in people. He looks more normal dressed in that goth midnight cowboy getup than he does when he’s all shaved and shoved into a suit. So what he’s a bit of an attention whore? If he wasn’t I don’t think he’d be anywhere as successful as he has.
she looks so manly and old without the ton of make up and fake lashes… and when she has them on she just looks stupid… not to mention clown-like
clowny, clown, clown. can’t stand her.
