Katy Perry covers the January issue of Marie Claire. The cover doesn’t really do her justice. I agree with much of what was said about Katy and John Mayer’s coupley Vanity Fair portraits. She is really a stunning woman, and I think she looks best when not completely styled like a bouquet of sparkly candy. On this cover, I’m feeling shades of the “I Kissed a Girl” era. That wasn’t a flattering look at all. The editorial treats Katy better, especially the close-up of her face, and I’ve included those pictures at the bottom of the post.
In the interview, Katy is still talking about her divorce from Russell Brand. Of course! Because Prism was marketed upon the premise of Katy as the makeup-addled phoenix rising from the ashes. It’s actually laughable how every interview to promote this album has trashed Russell. We’ve heard that his “shock” divorce filing made Katy suicidal even though she signed the papers with a happy face. Katy also emphasized that Russell was just so mean with his text breakup, and she’s so glad she can finally speak up roar for herself. And so on. Here are some excerpts that talk about how Russell wanted to destroy Katy’s career by making her have a baby:
On not slowing down: “I’m never going to be lazy, because there are 500 other people waiting in line for this position.”
On having kids: “I’m definitely not there yet, and I can’t plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, I’ll just want to be Mom for a little bit.[Brand] really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn’t ready – I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, If I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice – I’d have to be home more. I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn’t ready for it. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, let’s have a kid because we’re in love.”
On being vulnerable: “I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest. I think you become more relatable when you’re vulnerable. When you try to market yourself like some supernatural figurine who can’t be f*ed with, I always resort back to Scripture: ‘Pride comes before a fall.'”
On Prism, her new album: “I thought it was going to be a lot darker – acoustic or Fiona Apple-y. You know, a ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ vibe.”
On the dark hours following her split from ex-husband Russell Brand: “There were two weeks of my life after I found out the truth of my marriage where I was like, ‘OK. All right. I can’t feel this. This is too intense right now.’ I was, like, just eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and drinking, and that’s it.”
On her relationship with her parents: “People don’t understand that I have a great relationship with my parents – like, how that can exist. There isn’t any judgment. They don’t necessarily agree with everything I do, but I don’t necessarily agree with everything they do. They’re at peace with – they pray for me is what they do. They’re fascinated with the idea that they created someone who has this much attention on her. My parents are Republicans, and I’m not. They didn’t vote for Obama, but when I was asked to sign at the inauguration, they were like, ‘We can come.’ And I was like, ‘No, you can’t.’ They understood, but I was like, ‘How dare you?’ in a way.”
On her on-and-off relationship with boyfriend John Mayer: “I took a break from my boyfriend, not one that I wanted. It was like a splash of cold water to search inward on what was going on with me. That is what let me to this new awakening, this realizing, If I don’t do some self-love, I’m not going to be able to keep the love that I want. I still needed to deal with all of my ex-husband stuff. I hadn’t. It’s almost like if I kept talking about it, it would seem like I actually cared about it. I don’t.
John is so amazing “He’s just a fantastic partner. I’ve been a fan of his for such a long time. He’s got a brilliant, brilliant mind. It’s a rad, mature relationship.”
[From Marie Claire]
Wait, Katy wanted to try and make a Fiona Apple-esque album? Ha. Thank goodness the record label talked her out of it. Katy could never pull off a song like Fiona’s “Valentine.” Katy would sound ridiculous, and she’d also alienate her very young fanbase that is used to their idol pooping cotton candy clouds.
Oh, and the part about Russell sending Katy into a Cheetos and alcohol-fueled tailspin? Rusty isn’t listening anymore. Just wait and see what happens when John Mayer breaks up with her. Now those are going to be some epic smear interviews.

Oh man, all Katy does these days is talk about Russell and it’s always so contradicting. First she says she was shocked then she said she knew it was coming all along.
She should get her story straight before she trashes him again
^^^This!
,this is so true….every month a different story…whats the deal it makes her feel better to drag another down in order to make her stories seem more important?…..We old news…
Yes! Or better yet, grow up and move on. She comes across like a 17 year old getting dumped by her first love. How many years do they have to be divorced before she stops whining about it?
Every interview she does she trashes Brand and bigs up Mayer almost as slight to Brand. Its so bitter and unattractive.
THIS. Whether it’s intentional or not, that’s exactly how it comes across and to me, it reeks of emotional immaturity.
The more she talks, the less I like her.
I’ve always found her annoying, but the more she is talking the more its turning into hate.
Also, did anyone else laugh at the ‘my relationship with john is RAD and MATURE’. Can you use mature and rad in the same sentence? She is such an immature idiot.
I just finally clicked on the smiley face court docs link, and wow. A heart and a smiley face? Is she 7?
Agreed. She’s so cute and perky, but girl? Please sew your lips together. And ditch that grody John Mayer please.
Agree with all of you.
It’s so suspicious that she always gushes about Mayer. We all know that he’s a major douchebag and not a brilliant, brilliant mind. He’s stupid and so is she. Still dragging Russell into her little world is embarrassing.
I wonder why she thinks he’s so “brilliant”? Is it because she’s just so dumb that someone as crass and nasty as him would seem smart?
Probably. But then, why was Russell Brand with her? Did she camouflage her dumbness that good? 😉
she should take a Swift and write an entire album about her divorce.
So funny that Brand come out of the divorce looking like the classy one.
On having kids: “I’m definitely not there yet, and I can’t plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, I’ll just want to be Mom for a little bit.[Brand] really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn’t ready – I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, If I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice – I’d have to be home more. I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn’t ready for it. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, let’s have a kid because we’re in love.”
What is she saying here? I’m pretty sure that she’s shading Brand.
She isn’t even throwing shade, she’s outright saying that he was manipulative and controlling. I’m getting real tired of her talking about how much of a douche Brand was so she moved on to another douche. At some point, she will have to admit that there is a part of her that gravitates toward dysfunctional relationships.
right, she has this sad masochistic edge. I thought her album would be inspired by that, the dark whatever came out kind of sappy and cliche I guess she has some pseudo happy, distraction with dirtbagmayer. so I guess the new album should have been called “DickSTracted”
This quote makes me cringe. She’s basically saying that having kids should be an emotional decision… a spur of the moment, impulsive thing. And that she felt that Brand’s expectation that she be a responsible adult and actually take a firsthand interest in caring for her offspring was too much for her. Jeez.
@mytbean
I disagree. I think she was just saying she wasn’t ready for kids. She knows she will have to slow down once she has them. She was right not to succumb to the pressure. Also, I feel like you can’t know when you will be ready to have kids. I think that’s what she’s trying to say. However, it also sounds to me like she was never home and never had time for Russell and she just expected him to sit around being second banana to her career, so no wonder he left.
This makes her look immature, but at least she was self-aware enough not to go ahead and have kids. She would not have been a good parent with this type of self-centered attitude.
Fair enough but to call brand manipulative because he wanted kids is mean spirtited. He is pushing 40 its not that farfetched that he simply is at a point in his life where he wanted marriage and kids, like many people his age. Obviously they werent suited but her bitterness is getting out of hand.
I agree w/Dannie. We’re only hearing HER side of the story–Russell wanted to settle down. For all we know, Katy could’ve been all ‘yeah, let’s make babies after our wedding!’ all throughout them dating, getting engaged, and after the wedding–until the time came to actually start trying.
I’m glad that she DIDN’T have kids, when she really didn’t want to—but that’s gotta hurt when you realize your partner doesn’t want the same thing that you do. And kids are a deal breaker. And it’s not like Katy was a child–she was a grown up.
I don’t care about the shade she’s throwing at Brand – don’t care for him – but I don’t think she comes off as immature or selfish when she says she isn’t ready to have kids. At least she can admit that’s not what she wants. What’s the purpose of being a mother if you’re only having kids to make your partner happy? It should be something that fulfills you as well. I don’t agree with her upping Mayer because he’s probably more of a douche than Brand.
“You just want to be mom for a little bit?”
Ummm, Katy it doesn’t work that way…
She looks good, but how long will this continue to be her narrative. You know, if she really loved John as she claims, she’d have already let this go. I bet he doesn’t appreciate that this is her go to story.. (not that it really matters because it’s Mayer, but you get what I’m saying)
Oh and she need not ever compare herself to Fiona, her music would never measure up.
So true. When I met my husband shortly after breaking up with my boyfriend, I thought my ex -boyfriend was the best for leaving me and making it all possible.
Well these are the roles that benefit their brands–she’s a wide-eyed innocent in love with love and he’s a commitment-phobic lothario, so this makes sense. Will be interesting to see if they carve out a distinct role for Mayer or if he becomes heartbreaker 2.0.
What is the hold that JM has on certain women? He can break up, even publicly talk smack about them and they crawl back for more.
Big David Duke dick?
He goes for vulnerable needy women. Jessica Simpson post divorce. Jennifer Anniston hitting 40 and post Brangelina humiliation. Katy post brand heartbreak.
I don’t understand how anyone can date him, especially after what he did to Jennifer A., and that infamous Rolling Stone interview that he did right after that. Those two incidents were the first time I had heard of John Mayor–he is someone I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole–EVEN IF I wanted just a casual, sex only, relationship. He’s gross. He’s also probably charming as the devil and knows how to use his David Duke dong, because I don’t see how these grown women keep crawling back to him.
What did he do to JA?
Spooks, he told a streetful of paps (to be clear, he was walking down the street), that he and Jennifer had broken up. He then proceeded to say that she was boring, stuck in the 90s, and that he was too young to sit in a kitchen all day and play with dogs. TO THE PAPARAZZI. And then she took him back–brought him to the 2009 Oscars. And then they broke up again.
Right after that, he did an interview with Rolling Stone–he said that his dick was racist i.e. he was only attracted to white women. He called it his David Duke cock–gross. Then he said something about peeing on women during sex–and afterwards he claimed to be high on marijuana or something, said he didn’t remember the interview–because he came off as a complete dickwad.
And he talked trash about Jessica Simpson–I don’t get how these women fall over themselves to get him.
So agree with you Virgilia, how ANY WOMAN would want to even LOOK at him after that disgusting interview (but was it with Rolling Stone? For some reason I thought it was Play Boy). What Dannie said has to be it – he goes for needy, vulnerable women who aren’t particularly bright, and who are looking for reassurance and attention (albeit negative attention, that is). And the thing about him peeing on women during sex, definitely believe it. It’s his way to humiliate and then control the women he is with (and according to a really disgusting, old Lainey blind, he enjoys MORE than just peeing on them… If you get my drift). I just don’t get this guy’s appeal and it actually really annoys me that crappy people like him can become rich and famous >:|.
They are dicktified.
Every time she talks shit about Russell Brand, I like him even more. He says nothing but respectful things about her and their previous relationship. Not to mention, he has NEVER mentioned any personal info about their divorce. Class act.
I completely agree with you. He was very gracious about the divorce. Sure, he made a joke or two, but after all the sh*t she talked about him, he’s allowed to do all the jokes he wants.
She makes herself look like such a victim, then goes and says she is so over him, then realizes that she needs more publicity to sell albums so she’s back at whining.
Isn’t she so in love with Mayer and oh-so very happy? Why is she so stuck on Brand?!
I’m not of fan of Brand, but you have to give him props for being classy.
Slightly off topic: Katy Perry looks so good with jet-black hair, it makes me feel like dying my hair back (I have naturally black hair)! Ugh. But it could be the combination of dark hair and light eyes that makes her so beautiful.
me too – I have light skin and blue eyes and dark brown hair, and I wonder if I should dye it an even darker brown
I have very light skin and hazel eyes. I dyed it black a couple years ago and looked like I was very sick for 3 months.
And then I was, like, so over my ex-husband, but then, like, I decided to stop giving interviews about him. But then I was totally like, wait, this is like, so attention-getting.
You’re right, this shoot is very reminiscent of her “I Kissed a Girl” era, I think it’s interesting because she’s been trying to rebrand herself as one of the more modest pop stars.
As for the Brand thing, she really has capitalised on her divorce in such a tiresome way. And it’s sad because when she talks about John, she sounds more like a delusional fan girl than anything else.
As for her being different from her peers because she’s “vulnerable” – that’s bull because there’s absolutely nothing that sets her apart from any of the other pop stars, especially with this last clichéd-to-high-heaven album.
And as for her relationship with her parents being close and loving, I dunno man, calling your child a “devil child” doesn’t exactly show that you think very highly of her or that you’re close.
Rainbow Bright.
It never occured to me before, but you’re right Bedhead: If (When) Katy and John break up, that will make for many a great magazine interview.
She needs to stop this. Stop complaining and whining about Russell Brand. It’s getting annoying.
I’m sure she has other stuff to talk about. Right?
Now everyone is going to shit on her for this when she said nothing wrong.
LOL @ the Fiona Apple part, though. Stay in your lane, Katy.
It’s not a matter of ‘wrong’, it’s a matter of when is she going to stop talking so much about it in interviews. She’s got a new boyfriend, an album, other things. Why keep going over the divorce.
+1. She should just tell her handlers to make the topic of her marriage off-limits to interviewers.
..oh but wait, then what would she talk about??????
The truth is that Perry’s image took a hit post-divorce and she’s had to work overtime to try to convince the public that she was a victim and that Rusty is the evil villain who broke her heart. It’s very calculated and very transparent. The problem is that it’s backfiring–it just makes her looks bitter. Most of us are really tired of hearing her whine about Brand and talk about Mayer like he’s some knight in shining armor when we all know the dude is the biggest douche canoe in pop music (sorry, Adam Levine, you get second place).
Because they keep asking her about it? It’s really not that big of a deal and she really is no different from any other celebrity that constantly talks about their personal life.
@bns-You know as well as I do that any celeb as big as Perry can tell the interviewer that certain topics are off-limits. If you don’t see that talking about her marriage to Brand is a calculated move on her part then I don’t know what to tell you…
And no not EVERY celebrity talks about their marriage that ended in divorce–Russell Brand for instance.
@TheOriginalKitten
Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that it wasn’t calculated, but every Katy post gets tons of comments in his defense and I don’t understand why? She’s not really saying anything incriminating, so I don’t see what the problem is. And Russell has definitely made cracks about his marriage since they divorced.
I don’t have strong feelings about either Russell or Katy, though, so whatever.
Fair enough but FTR, I never had a problem with KP until I saw how she handled everything in the wake of her divorce. I know she’s young and probably immature on a lot of levels, but she should have taken the high road.
This really isn’t different than Aniston-The-Broken-Record, harping on her divorce, playing the victim for years after the relationship was over. It just seems to me that celebs should handle private matters as privately as they can, instead of exploiting it for PR purposes or image-crafting.
Eh..it just bugs ya know?
Dear Katy:
Stop talking. Now.
xoxox
She is like nails on a chalkboard. I wish the Grammys would have snubbed her, too.
Everyone thinks she’s throwing shade at Russell but judging by what she’s said so far it looks like she was in an abusive relationship. I’d guess he has narcissistic personality disorder and she was heavily gaslighted by him. Of course he would say nice things about her, its part of his shtick.
Or I could be wrong… but I just get a strange vibe from it.
This. It’s strange to me that people are always so quick to defend him here.
Agree. She may be insufferable, but he is a world class creeper. I’m amazed people can’t see it.
I think it’s because the story she’s selling now is not at all what the divorce started out as. She started out with smiley faces and no big deals about the entire situation but then for some reason she switched it up and has been playing victim. Hard. I think Brand said something one time and she flipped. If anyone has the control issues here it’s her, she can spout off all these horrible rumors about him but he can’t say a word. Plus he’s had enough partners that if he were really like that, something would have slipped.
If you see what Nigella Lawson is dealing with, that is what a controlling, manipulative jackass looks like. Saying little to nothing is what Brand is doing.Brand has bowed out of the argument, she hasn’t. What she is doing is implying he was abusive without saying it outright. That is manipulative.
I can understand because of his shagger of the year awards he can seem douchey but she ended up with Mayer? A racist, trash talking but talented singer songwriter.
We don’t know what was going on in Katy and Russell’s marriage behind closed doors. Nigella’s situation has, unfortunately, been much more public.
And even if Katy had outright called him abusive the comments in this post would still find some way to criticize her and defend Russell.
I agree with bns here. Brand does often give off vibes that he might be abusive and that does indeed take some time to recover. So I can empathesize with her there. And going for another scum bag also supports the idea Brand might be shady (also says a lot about Mayer too). I just wish she would have taken some ‘me’ time to get herself in a place where she can find a nice boy. You know…. one that doesn’t need to humiliate her or control her for kicks.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is in actuality very rare. I wish people would stop throwing the term around like it’s some common disorder. Plus, if anyone in this was displaying signs of narcissism (just narcissism, not the disorder) it would be Ms. Perry, not Mr. Brand.
I’m so glad I’m not alone in my annoyance with her! I just despise this twit now. Russell has taken the high road and has had nothing but kind things to say about her (if anything at all) since their split. With every interview she gives, she throws him under the bus and is grating on my last nerve a little more each time. From her trashing of Russell (probably because she knows he won’t fire back) to her uppity attitude about pop stars showing too much boob, etc. (Rich coming from someone who has shot fireworks and whipped cream from hers…)
Unfortunately, Brand was just as shocking with his comments post-divorce as Mayer was post-Aniston. I would not call that the high road at all. Huge red flags for both men.
I can’t believe she’s STILL talking about Russell.
Did anyone see the article on Access Hollywood after her performance at the AMA’s? It was something about Katy addressing the “controversy” over her Japanese getup in the opening number. I thought “there was controversy”? I barely even remember her performance! I think she was HOPING there’d be something to talk about, but nobody gave a rip. And I didn’t see any other sites pick it up.
You want to go with a nice Cabernet for the cheese puffs, I think.
Vodka is what my family serves with cheetohs after a funeral (and, no, I’m not joking)
I want you and your family to come to all our family funerals from now on. We have a blast, too.
Is this precious snowflake aware she isnt the only person in the world ever that got divorced from a poorly thought out starter marriage or what??
*They didn’t vote for Obama, but when I was asked to sign at the inauguration, they were like, ‘We can come.’ And I was like, ‘No, you can’t.’ They understood, but I was like, ‘How dare you?’ in a way.”*
Oh, so she’s in some snotty club where if you didn’t vote for him but accept him now anyway because he’s the President, how dare you? Pulease.
I see it as them trying to ride on her “success” and her not letting them. Like they don’t like Obama but since she got an invitation they want in on the glitz so she told them, uhm, NO!
That’s how I take it–they tell her all the time that what she’s doing is wrong, they have issues with her husband, et al–but they have no issues going out on the red carpet, or using her name to promote their stuff (the dad used her name to promote some preaching thing i.e. Katy Perry’s dad type deal). Her parents are users–which makes it worse, because they hide behind religion and faith.
That’s the only thing I’ve ever heard Perry say that I can respect. It’s hard to stand up to your parents like that. Her parents probably give her as much crap for her politics as (we know) they do her lifestyle, so why SHOULD they get to party with Obama?
who gave this country bumpkin a record contract.
The more she talks the more she sounds like she isnt really over Brand.
I can’t stand her anymore, any chance she gets to talk about her ex, she uses; how sh*tty he was, how devastated he left her, etc, etc. Move on, stop using it to sell records or make people like you!
I love how celebrities milk their heartbreak, even though it takes them less than a month to find a new person to be with.
Katy should count her blessings. She married Russell without a pre-nup and she made over a 100 million while they were married. He could of gone for 1/2 of and and would of gotten it if he wanted to. He didn’t take a dime from her just left with what he had.
Excellent point; and could we go back to the 80s/90s and put models on the covers, as all the other posters have said, there just isn’t that much interesting about this doltish manufactured pop star.
It’s so obvious that there are some residual feelings for Brand, hence all of the bitterness and non stop trashing. I really wish she would just shut up about it. It has been like 2 years hasn’t it? And if she were really so happy with John Mayer methinks she wouldn’t feel the need to constantly talk about Brand.
And I think I’m in the minority but I don’t find her stunning, beautiful, or gorgeous. With the right make up and styling she can look very cute and pretty; but Katy without make up is a total plain Jane.
She’s turning into Stevie Nicks: everything is about the ex.
I don’t understand women who after a significant amount of time cannot seem to move on, especially one with a life of her own. She comes across as immature and wanting to play the victim. Maybe this act is what keeps JM interested, knowing that she is not completely hung up on him while still grieving the loss of her marriage.
How dare a man who recently got married suggest he and his wife start a family. It’s total manipulation and control. What?
Okay so she wasn’t ready for kids, that doesn’t mean that because he was ready for kids he’s a controlling jerk.
Wow.

2011 – Katy Perry’s marriage ends
2014 (nearly) – Katy Perry still talking about failed marriage in every interview
I mean jeez, it’s time to let it go. I understand she is asked about it because all magazines want dirt on this kind of thing, but she could definitely decline to answer, and shift the focus to something else.
I don’t doubt that Russell was probably a jerk at times during their marriage, especially near the end, but that goes both ways … most people are being a jerk to EACH OTHER when they’re about to get divorced. Katy isn’t a saint. Just because she’s the female in the equation, there’s a tendency for the press to portray it like she’s the victim and he’s the villain. But there are always 2 sides. And I don’t think wanting to have kids with her is necessarily a sign that he was controlling — maybe he just wanted kids and thought that’s what they had agreed on?
+1
I think that Katy liked the idea of having kids–but when it came time to actually do it (work less, etc) then she didn’t want to. Which is fine. But Russell is like 40 years old–he’s not getting any younger. If he had been ten years younger, then I think he would’ve been fine w/waiting a few years. But when you’re that age, you can’t waste time.
Wow – I didn’t even realize it was almost 3 years ago that it ended! The way she’s been going on about it the past year, it feels like they just got divorced. Very sad and time to move on.
As an aside, I love Brand. He’s an intelligent, well spoken man. How anyone could go from him to John Mayer is beyond me.
Its two years not three.
Closer to 2 actually – divorce filed in late 2011. But still, it does seem ridiculous that it’s almost 2014 and she’s still talking about it so much.
When you’re hurt, it’s soooooooooooooo tempting to badmouth the ex, but honey, when you do it in print, it says a whole lot more about you than about your ex. Think about that for a while….
It is so obvious that Russell Brand is about a thousand time more introspective, honest, intelligent and genuinely cooler than she is. I’m not saying he’s perfect because honestly who knows anything but I can’t stand her whipped cream tits for Jesus act. She honestly drives me crazy every time she talks. I agree that she is plain looking without makeup. She is a pretty woman but there is nothing interesting or stunning about her.
The person who should be worried about the constant rehashing of the divorce and shading of Brand is John Mayer. Because when he dumps her, she’s going to go full Taylor Swift on his a**.
That album, and those interviews, are going to be great.
I’m glad they divorced before a child was brought into their relationship. It was obvious it wasn’t going to work out. The most obvious reason being the fact that he was a recovering addict and she was not. Never should have married in the first place. That’s both of their faults.
As for the special snowflake that is Russell Brand being so magnanimous about their divorce, people are obviously missing the times he’s shaded Perry. He’s no saint. People just really don’t care enough about him in the US to report the things he has said about her.
He’s said maybe two things against her, both of which were said in a comedic context which might seem worse to some, but to me it isn’t as bad as putting on this “I’m such a poor victim” act like she does. He was joking around with friends on his radio show in one instance, and wasn’t the one that brought it up …. he mostly was making fun of HIMSELF in that instance. Another was at a gig and I think has been taken out of context.
But even it was true that he “shaded” her, it’s FAR outweighed by the number of times she’s done it to him. I haven’t “missed” the things he’s said — there just weren’t many, at all. Even when pressed mercilessly by Howard Stern on a couple occasions, he refused to say anything negative. I don’t think it’s an misrepresentation to say that on the whole, he has been much more positive than she has. Nobody is saying he’s a “saint.” Just that he’s been classier than HER.
Edited to add: In my experience, this is pretty much the ONLY gossip site where people are largely on Brand’s side – the way the press has mostly portrayed this couple, it’s always Katy’s a saint and Russell is a horrible scumbag, so that’s what the general public tends to believe. I think it’s funny that you’re finding it necessary to argue “He’s no saint!” because usually he’s the one being skewered. I find this site refreshing for NOT doing that! JMO.
Is it just me, or is her blank open-mouthed stare reminiscent of of the face of Resusci-Anne from any given CPR class? It’s like she’s waiting on chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth. Not a sexy look. Poor thing. Heartache/break sucks, but after several years after the fact and a long-term boyfriend tapping your ass, you gotta get over it and move on. No, seriously.
LMAO re: the Resusci Annie comment-very funny! Yeah, the open mouthed blank stare is not a good look.
For someone supposedly over their ex, she sure talks about him constantly. Katy, we get it already! You’re the first woman EVER to get divorced and be broken hearted. (Eye roll)
I don’t really see this as bad mouthing. She got dumped and that hurt her. Now, while promoting the album about said breakup, she occasionally talks about said breakup. She’s not saying that Brand was a total dick and that he smells bad etc. she’s mostly just talking about her feelings. I guess people want to see more of the ‘we were in two different places’ BS but I have no problem with her candor.
I think anyone who has ever been in any relationship knows that waaaaaaaaaaay worse stuff than what she has said eventually come to light.
Also, I have nothing but respect for someone who, despite loving someone and not wanting a divorce, still refused to have a child simply to placate the other person.
Wow – she was devastated by the breakup for an entire TWO WEEKS. I had no idea it was so difficult for her. That must have been a very trying fortnight.
It’s remarkable that she has been divorced far longer than she was married and she is still yammering about Brand. Katy, here’s some free advice for you from the advice goddess:
1. Stop talking;
2. Let me take over for whoever is your current stylist, because she’s doing it wrong;
3. Don’t EVER compare yourself to Fiona again. That’s like me comparing myself to Nelson Mandela because I participated in the Coke boycott back in the 90s. Or was it the 80s? I forget, because I’m old;
4. Don’t get married again until you are at least 30 and you actually know the person very well. Also, don’t give the WEDDING (frivolous, extravagant and tacky) more attention than the MARRIAGE;
5. Git yer business checked, if ya get my drift…I’d be real concerned about what may be going on down there after all this time with John.
6. Have your tubes tied.
You’re welcome. Free advice that’s worth every penny!
Fiona Apple-y? Even in a second life you wouldn’t, honey.
Ugh. She needs to shut up. Brand can annoy me, but to his credit he only said a few shady things AFTER Katy ran her mouth off repeatedly about him. I don’t care if someone did you wrong, you can get one good rant in and then it’s time to shut up and once it’s been two years since a divorce…shut up more. Russell MAY have been a shitty husband. He didn’t beat on her, for chrissakes, and yet she acts like he was an abusive asshole. I get that people harbor a lot of hatred to their ex’s sometimes, but publicly ranting about it to the world multiple times is NOT the way to go about it. She needs a therapist. I also think she should shut up, because I think Rusty probably has some dirt on her but is just too nice to really go “there”….I do think the rumors about him being completely devoted to sober living, and her not so much, were part of the reason they fell apart….
SHE DID NOT JUST COMPARE HER MUSIC TO FIONA APPLE. If there is someone’s music I disrespect and pretty much full-on HATE all the time, it’s Katy Perry’s. It’s vapid, it’s anti-feminist, it’s a wheelbarrow of tripe covered in rainbows and glitter for a under ten crowd. So pathetic.
Fiona Apple is the most amazing and incredible artist I’ve ever had the privilege of listening to and seeing live. She is not all “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”— yet another anti-feminist, “women are crazy emotional lunatics” cliche from a pop-tart with no business making any statements at all. Fiona Apple is a strong woman who has been through a great deal of emotional turmoil and sings from her experiences.
Katy Perry strings together meaningless lyrics about skin-tight jeans and makes it rhyme with dreams and thinks that she has the ability to crank out a Fiona-like album? Hahahahaha. Stupid idiot. Go back to squirting whip cream out of your tatas.
