A friend of Perry said, “Katy is insulted and feels betrayed that Russell has treated her so poorly. She will never forgive him. Ever.”
What do you do if your ex airs details of your failed relationship?
The fairy tale marriage of Katy Perry and Russell Brand is over, fourteen months after it began. Katy and Russell join the ranks of celebrities whose wedding nuptials were . . . temporary. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries lasted only 72 days. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander lasted two.
We’ve all heard a jumble of less-than-educated guesses as to why many celebrity relationships don’t last: “They spend too much time apart.” “They have intimate scenes with other people.” “They’re too obsessed with themselves.” “They only care about fame.” But what are the real reasons for so many celebrity break-ups?

Sad news about one of Hollywood’s hottest couples–Russell Brand has filed for divorce from wife Katy Perry. The news about the break-up does not come as a complete surprise. Celebrity gossip columnists have been buzzing about a rift between pop music princess Katy Perry and her actor/comedian hubby Russell Brand. Married for just 14 months, the often lovey-dovey pair reportedly spent this past Christmas miles apart (two-thousand miles to be exact). Photos showed Perry splashing around on a Hawaiian beach (without her wedding ring), while Brand was also snapped on a beach– in Cornwall, England– sans Perry.
What broke this celeb couple up? We may never know for sure, but Us Weekly recently reported that Brand’s lack of respect for Perry’s parents’ Christian beliefs as the cause of some tension.
If that’s the case– the problems of this glamourous newlywed couple are quite common.

There are so many fun factors about Halloween. First, there are the pumpkins: pumpkin carving, pumpkin patches, pumpkin pie — and an annual viewing of the TV show, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Next, you can’t forget candy, like Brach’s candy corn, which are only available seasonally in the autumn, making them a particularly delicious and coveted treat. Then, there’s all that scary stuff: haunted houses, witches, goblins and ghouls — boo! And finally, perhaps the best part is the costumes – for one day out of the year, you get to be anyone you want to be, celebrities included.
For anyone looking for a little romance on a holiday that’s typically filled with fright, you’re in luck! Here’s a list of celebrity couples whose looks can be transformed into costumes. One of them may be the perfect fit for you and your partner.

From Britney Spears to Nicki Minaj, this year’s MTV Video Music Award (VMA) nominees are teeming with A-list music stars. The three top contenders include Katy Perry, with nine nods (the most of any performer this year), and Adele and Kanye West, both with seven nominations each. While it will be exciting to see which stars take home a trophy for their designated categories, we’re also eager to see which of our favorite celebrity couples will attend. Although we won’t know for sure who will show up to the VMAs until Sunday, Aug. 28, here are five celebrity couples we hope make an appearance:
1. Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z: Listed as the “most powerful couple” for TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” in 2006, the duo dated for six years before secretly getting married in 2008. OK Magazine reported that “the couple is very supportive of one another — making sure to attend performances and appearances together.” That means we can definitely count on them to arrive together, since Beyoncé is up for a nomination, right?
Katy Perry’s hectic Japan touring schedule was interrupted on Saturday, reports E! Online. The Teenage Dream singer was distraught when news came that her newlywed husband Russell Brand had been deported. Perry took to her Twitter account to share the news. ” So…my husband just got deported from Japan. I am so. sad,” tweeted Perry. “I brought him all this way to show him my favorite place.” Brand was deported due to criminal incidents that occurred over 10 years ago. Brand, however, did not seem too upset. The comedian-turned-actor also took to his Twitter, exclaiming, “Stockholm syndrome kicking in. Just asked my guard out for (vegetarian) sushi. He giggled.”

After keeping her wedding details at top secret status leading up to the lavish ceremony in India, Katy Perry has shared some glimpses into her special day with the public. As she sang one of her popular songs, “Not Like the Movies” while sitting on a swing high above the Grammy’s audience, her wedding video played in the background, reportsUsMagazine.com.

It’s official: Katy Perry will soon be known as Katy Brand, according to People. The 26-year-old singer told Ellen DeGeneres that since her wedding on October 23rd, she has been in the process of taking her husband Russell Brand’s last name. She said that people already call her Mrs. Brand to “try to get my attention… Like if I’m at an event or something like that, and they want special attention, they go, ‘Mrs. Brand!’ And I go shwoosh [looks back].”

Sex, drugs and rock n’ roll aren’t usually a parent’s “Teenage Dream,” but they added up to the perfect husband for singer Katy Perry, according to her father Keith Hudson.

He makes my girl so happy,” said Hudson. “She’s so happy and he makes her light up. They’re going to be just fine…”

After tying the knot in what has been a detailed four-day wedding celebration in India, Katy Perry still can’t stop talking about her husband, Russell Brand. Despite the provocative teasing good-girl image Katy Perry maintains in the public eye, she tells Harper’s Bazaar, “I always knew I wanted a great man of God. Someone who was going to be an inspiration for people and also be a lovely husband and father.” Wait, are we still talking about Russell Brand? Apparently so. Us Weeklyreports that Brand is a “deeply spiritual man and ideal dad material.” And what about the 10-year age gap? Katy Perry explains, “We’re at different places in our lives, but we can still grow together.” With a man that’s “though-provoking, articulate [and] a real advocate,” it looks like clear sailing for the newlywed couple — with a few laughs along the way.
While singer Katy Perry and comedian Russel Brand’s wedding may have been all about “no regrets, just love” — for neighbors not in attendance, it was anything but a “teenage dream.” The couple’s wedding at the Aman-i-Khas hotel in Rajasthan, India, last week was loud enough to draw noise complaints. The hotel, which is located next to a sacred tiger sanctuary, has been charged with violating the district’s laws against loud music after 10 p.m. Perry and Brand, who were free from any charges, have headed to the Maldives for their honeymoon, but managers of the hotel could face fines or jail time.

Katy Perry is enjoying her final days as a single woman. Following her performance on Britain’s The X-Factor, Perry and fiancé Russell Brand talked to judge Simon Cowell backstage. A source tells Us Magazine, “She had so much fun with Simon, and Russell was chatting with him too. Katy was hugging Russell a lot after her performance. She kept asking him, ‘Was I OK?’ ‘Was it OK?’, but he was nothing but supportive. He was stroking her bum in her catsuit. He couldn’t keep his hands off her, actually.” The engaged pair also went to a private screening of The Social Network on Monday. On Tuesday, Perry and Brand intend to fly to India for their extravagant 6-day wedding celebration. The few guests, including Rihanna, will stay in “pimped out” tents and are to be flown in on private jets. Despite the extravagance, Brand seemed uneager to talk about the celebration. “I’m trying to preserve it, to keep it a beautiful thing,” Brand explained. “I think people get the wrong idea on how we want the wedding to play out. Love between two people is the most spectacular yet ordinary thing in the world.”
