I’m sad to report that Russell Brand and Katy Perry are divorcing. Per reports, Russell is citing ”irreconcilable differences.” Russell said, ”Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”

I don’t know why this news makes me sad, but it does. I wonder what happened?? I can honestly say that I didn’t see this coming.

    Sad to say but when they first got engaged, I thought their marriage wouldn’t last 2yrs. It’s getting easier to predict these things. Seeing that the first article I ever read about Brand talked about his affinity for drugs, drinks, girls and sex, I thought it was odd he hooked up with Katy and even shred to marry her. Once a wanker, always a wanker. It’s always safe to assume very few hollywood marriage won’t make it to the 5yr mark.

    I’m not shocked at all! What shocked me was that HE was the one to file! I appear to be in the minority compared to the different sites I’ve been reading about this, but I can’t stand Russell Brand. I find him vulgar and offensive and wondered what on earth Katy Perry was doing with him in the first place. I always thought their relationship and marriage was some sort of publicity stunt/business arrangement and not love at all. I’m not surprised they are divorcing.

    I am surprised and sad too. The marriage seemed to be going on so quietly, didn’t it?

    It worked! I’m back! I thought the new WordPress would never take my comments again. And Nads, I think I would have missed you most of all.

    Too bad. They’re a very weird match, but their marriage took place out of the tabloids so I thought they had a chance. Ah well.

    It got weird when Russell shaved one morning, and they couldn’t tell themselves apart. (From that picture, they could totally be brother and sister.)

    In an interview a month or so ago, she said she was taking a year off to start a family. It seemed so out of blue from previous statements that they weren’t ready for a family yet, that I wondered if she wasn’t trying to save their marriage.

    Also there was a blind item a month or two ago that seemed to be directed at them saying they were already separated and for everyone to expect a divorce announcement between Christmas and New Years.

    So, guess I am saying I am not surprised.

    My god, if these two can’t make a marriage work that had live tigers and elephants at the wedding, what chance do the rest of us have with just our ice sculptures and harpists?

    Wow, I can see his entire set of dentures in that picture. Do you think that when Katy became a blonde, Russell realized he hadn’t married Zooey Deschanel after all?

    After that vicious song she recorded that was supposedly about Travis McCoy, he must be enjoying a big, belly laugh now. I mean, harder than he probably did when she married Russell Brand in the first place.

    @JudgyWudgy I had the same thought. I know it’s just a song, but I’d be pissed if we’ve been married for a little over a year, and you come out with a song called “The One That Got Away.” Sometimes in pics together, she had this sad look on her face, and she’s normally so bubbly.

    And I hate to be this person, and it keeps getting mentioned, BUT: Kim K. & Kris: 72 days, Sinead O’Connor and whats-his-name: 120? (I can’t remember), and these 2: 14 months. Britney Spears is getting married for a 3rd time and how many times has J.Lo been married? What’s this sanctity of marriage everyone is always talking about when they say they oppose gay marriage? Maybe it’s different bc they’re famous, but it’s so unfair to me. They treat marriages like clothes they bought last year and they no longer want to wear, so they throw them out and get new ones. Yet, 2 ppl that love each other, and will probably be together for more than 2 years can’t get married bc ppl want to pretend that they follow every rule listed int he Bible. Sorry for ranting, but it gets on my nerves.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…Celebrities (and some wacko general public people) treat marriage like a rental car. Pick out the best looking one, ride it for a while and return for a fee. Whatever.
    I think he couldn’t kill all his demons and perhaps imbibed in some of his old habits…including sexing up the ladies. Also, another site is saying she wanted him to file so her parents wouldn’t be upset with her about divorcing.

    @waffleBoy, sadly I guess my marriage will have no chance since we had no tigers, elephants, ice sculptures or harpists… I guess the old love, honor, sickness, health death do us part doesn’t mean a whole lot anymore (except to maybe us non celebrity types)

    Why do they even get married? These celebrities give marriage a bad name!

    Getting married is the new going steady. And it’s always been that way in Celebrityville anyway. Katy will find a nice, steady banker or restaurateur for her real husband. Russell will find a lake villa in Italy.

    Honestly, I think that it’s not that celebrities are some weird breed of people who can’t stay married. It’s likely because a) most people in the entertainment industry work very long hours and travel a LOT b) when you work with people on a movie or a play, you become very close to them. It’s very easy to have feelings for someone who is playing your husband/wife because you spend so much time with that person, often kissing or cuddling for the role, they just come naturally.

    I work in the theatre and I’ve had to kiss/make out/be groped etc. by men. It’s very, very easy to take your feelings as a character back into your personal life, even if you don’t mean to. Usually it’s just a crush that goes away after you finish working on the project, but I imagine that many people in Hollywood think it’s really love and so you get married, then you realize later that it wasn’t what you thought.

    And unfortunately, there are celebrities who likely get duped by people who are only marrying them for their money. Can’t blame them for getting out of a marriage like that.
