Katy Perry Steps Out Into The Spotlight For The First Time Since The Split

Molly Horan — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:36:02 +0000

After deciding to skip the People’s Choice Awards Katy Perry seemed to be becoming a hermit after her spilit with Russell Brand, but at last Katy has emerged, blue hair and all, at an event for givelove.org a charity that supports the earthquake victims of Haiti.

Getting out for a good cause seems like a great way to reemerge into public life and by all accounts she seemed to be enjoying herself. She hasn’t given the tabloids much to work with; she hasn’t lost or put on weight, meaning no “Katy Eating Her Feelings” or “Katy Lovesick and Wasting Away” headlines. Normally electric blue hair would be a sign of post-break-up craziness, but happily married Katy was known to adopt some unnatural hair colors too. Now the question is did she play herself Firework in the car before the event to psych herself up?

Now It’s Really Over: Katy Perry Unfollowed Russell Brand On Twitter

Molly Horan — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:06:19 +0000

There are a lot of ways to let your ex know your relationship is really over. Leaving a box of his things on his doorstep. Posting Facebook pictures of you and a new guy. Since Katy Perry is a pop star, she severed her ties to her soon to be ex-husband Russell Brand in a very public way, unfollowing him on Twitter.

@katyperry no longer cares if @rustyrockets is going to be on a talk show or what his thoughts on a new movie are. Following the details of someone’s life they chose to put up online is the most innocuous form of cyber-stalking there is, and Katy can’t even be bothered with that.

Russell, however is still keeping up with Katy’s life via Twitter; she’s one of only seventy-eight people he deems important enough to keep up with their tweets. Looks like someone is having a little trouble letting go.

The British Prime Minister Finds Katy Perry ‘Appalling’ But Loves The Smiths

Amanda Chatel — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:38:37 +0000

Katy Perry, who was a no show last night at the People’s Choice Awards although she did clean up, has a very high-profile politician who thinks she isn’t all the rage. British Prime Minister David Cameron has called the cloyingly sweet popstar’s music “appalling.”

The Prime Minister went on to say that Perry and Bruno Mars are “beginning to infect my iPod,” thanks to his kids insisting he should be listening to these two. Clearly, Cameron does not approve. So who does the head of Britain like? The Smiths. And it’s just not like, it’s love. He even calls their lyrics “brilliant.”

Just last week the Prime Minister headed to Salford, Great Manchester to vist a youth project as part of his “social enterprise” mission. Although he was there for work purposes, the highlight of the trip for him was the Salford Lads Club where his beloved Smiths were photographed in 1986 for their album, The Queen Is Dead. I wonder how Morrissey feels about this.

Who else does the Prime Minister think is great?

Katy Perry Won’t Be Going To The People’s Choice Awards

Molly Horan — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:28:45 +0000

Anyone who was planning to tune into the People’s Choice Awards just to see if Katy Perry looks any different post-split, start making new Wednesday night plans. Katy revealed she wouldn’t be making it to tomorrow night’s ceremony yesterday through twitter, saying, “Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the People’s Choice Awards. I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed! #KATYCATS.”

Now the question is will her ex Russell Brand, who was kicked off the invite list so a chance meeting between the two wouldn’t get awkward, be re-invited? Without Katy going their isn’t any potential for conflict, and there should be at least half of the former couple to examine for signs of divorce-induced heart ache.

I can understand if Katy doesn’t want to be in front of a bunch of camera while she’s dealing with so much in her personal life, but I think she might be missing an opportunity to quiet the gossip around her divorce. Nothing says I’m over it like showing up to a party looking fantastic.

Katy Perry’s Dad Made Anti-Semitic Comments In Front Of His Church

Molly Horan — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 17:47:47 +0000

Parents can be so embarrassing. Showing your date naked baby photos. Leaving awkward notes on your Facebook wall. Making blatantly anti-Semitic remarks to a large group of people.

Katy Perry, already dealing with a divorce will now be asked questions about her dad’s latest sermon, given to those in attendance at the Church on the Rise in Westlake, Ohio. A few choice quotes from Keith Hudson’s oration include, “You know how to make the Jew jealous? Have some money, honey,” and “Walk down a part of LA where we live and it is so rich it smells. You ever smell rich? They are all Jews, hallelujah. Amen.”

I don’t even know where to start. How did this racist sentiment come up? Had someone raised their hand and asked if he had any tips on making people of other faiths jealous? And why does it seem not only hateful but incredibly bizarre when chased with hallelujah?

Not to be outdone by her husband, Katy’s mom chimed in giving her daughter a shout-out saying, “I’m sure that Katy’s trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight,” which kind of implies Katy spends the time she isn’t dressing up her boobs like candy plotting ways to get people back to church, and a high profile divorce was the best solution she could think of.

Trying to see the best in people, I’m going to assume this is just a case of parental love gone wrong. Katy’s parents must have so desperately wanted to get all the attention off their little girl and her broken marriage, and they decided this was the best way to do it. After all, they’re going to have to be issuing public apologies for weeks.

Russell Brand Is Off The People’s Choice Awards Guest List

Molly Horan — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:15:13 +0000

When a couple splits their friends often have to take sides, and nothing forces you to pledge solidarity to one party or the other like making a guest list. The People’s Choice Awards has made their decision, and after the Brand-Perry split they are firmly on team Katy.

Russell Brand was welcome at the People’s Choice Awards, being held this Wednesday, but now has been removed from the guest list. Without her soon to be ex in attendance Katy should be able to enjoy her seven nominations. A source explained the decision to uninvite Russell was made, “in order to avoid any awkwardness or confrontation.”

If this celebrity picking of sides mirrors everyday life, I wonder how Russell got the news. Apologetic text? Hastily written Facebook message? Look, Russell, you know we think you’re great, it’s just Katy’s feeling really vulnerable right now and we think it’s best if you just don’t come this time. But we’ll totally have you come to our next big thing. Promise.

Katy Perry, Russell Brand Divorce Can’t Be All Her Fault

Blisstree — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:06:07 +0000

So apparently the reason for Russell Brand and Katy Perry's divorce is that she's a drunken prudish party girl careerist who won't just stay home, have Brand's kids and watch cripple porn. Confused about how any of those things go together? Me too. But the reasons being propagated by various media for the divorce range from Perry being unable to satisfy Brand sexually to her refusal to stop 'partying' to the fact that she won't just 'settle down,' stop touring and having children with Brand. Despite the sort of contradictory nature of all these accounts, the bottom line is clear—it's all her fault—and so is the message: Even in 2012, a married woman's goals, pleasure and career should take second place to her husband's.

Katy Perry’s No Pre-Nup Divorce From Russell Brand Could Cost Her

Meghan Keane — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:09:19 +0000

There’s a reason that celebrities sign iron clad pre-nups when they get married. It’s because they have tons of money and tend not to be married for very long. That’s definitely the case with Katy Perry and Russell Brand‘s 14-month nuptials, but the former lovebirds were so head over heels that they decided to skip the pre-nup and Katy Perry is likely to start paying for that decision now that they’re divorcing - potentially up to $20 million.

Right before the pair got married in October of 2010, Russell told an audience at a New York Times event that he and Perry wanted to keep their marriage “normal”:

“It ain’t selling the pictures, ain’t doing no prenup. It’s like a normal thing.”

That was a sweet sentiment when the pair assumed they’d be married forever. But now that Brand has filed for divorce just 14 months in, he stands to gain a lot from taking a stand against the pre-nuptial agreement.

The thing is, Katy Perry is a lot more successful than he is. According to Forbes, Perry’s net worth is $44 million — whereas Brand’s estimated net worth falls between $6.6 and $15 million.

To further his potential winnings, the pair bought a new home in the Spring, and California is a community property state.

Brand is the one who filed for divorce the other day, citing “irreconcilable differences.” When he did so, he released a statement stating that “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”

However, the second clause of that statement probably depends on how big a chunk of her earnings he gets out of the deal.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry Are Getting a Divorce

Molly Horan — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:37:36 +0000

As if to balance the glut of celebrity engagements this week, Russell Brand and Katy Perry have decided to end their marriage.

Russell is the one who actually filled the papers and issued a statement confirming he and Katy are going their separate ways saying, “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”

The two have been married for a year and two months, which seems like eons compared to the latest celebrity divorce between Sinead O’ Connor and her husband of 16 days.

It’s must be particularly tough for this official end to come so close to New Years, as both Russell and Katy will look at a single 2012 when they thought they’d seen their last single new year.

I’d like to offer them advice to cheer themselves up, but I normally get over a breakup by watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall and blasting “Firework,” so….

Russell Brand Keeps Going Out Without His Wedding Ring

Molly Horan — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:09:38 +0000

There are so many reasons comedian and Katy Perry’s husband Russell Brand could be walking the streets of London without his wedding band. His fingers are swollen. He knocked the ring behind his dresser and doesn’t feel like sticking his hand back there. He saw that Adam Sandler movie where he uses a fake wedding ring to pick up woman, and decided masquerading as a single guy was the best way to fend off advances.

But the photos of his ring-less finger coupled with news he and Katy spent the holidays on separate continents have people whispering a divorce might be on the horizon. I personally hope the two of them work things out, but if they do decide to end their marriage, now would be a pretty good time. On the heels of Sinead O’Connor’s 16 day union and with 2011 recap lists reminding everyone of Kim Kardashian’s 72 days of wedded bliss, people are bound to look at Katy and Russell’s marriage, which has already lasted for more than a year and think, well they really tried.
