Sucks To Be Russell Brand

Russell Brand was uninvited to the People’s Choice Awards because of Katy Perry. Rumor is that Katy is up for seven of the awards, and they don’t want her to have a bad night if Russell is there. According to Perez, an insider said, “It will be Katy’s big night, a prelude to the Grammys, and now Russell has been strangely left off the list of attendees for the high-profile event. It was always going to be awkward for organizers in any case after their shock decision to split. But in order to avoid any awkwardness or confrontation Russ is no longer on the list.”

That’s a little dramatic, don’t you think? To be “uninvited???” Really? Divorces happen all the time, and so do breakups. I’m hoping this is all a rumor, because it’s LAME!

    Its said that she made 44 million while they were together and since there is no prenup, he is entitled to half. But him being univited is pretty diva of her, probably to spite him for filing for divorce first.

    I have a love/hate relationship with Katy/Kunty Perry though I think she is gorgeous with a cute and quirky style she can be a real snot. Like a since-I-grew-up-sheltered-with-a-really-religious-family-I-have -the-right-to-be-a-raging-bitch attitude. Like when she bad mouthed Gaga for using religious blasphemy in her Alejandro video; didn’t you get famous for proclaiming you kissed a girl Miss SuperJesus?

    Deja not even an original song as Jill Sobule had a song of the same name years before. She is all sorts of lame.

    Gotta admit, I had no idea who Russell Brand is apart from being Katy Perry’s husband, so I had to look him on Wikipedia. As far as I can tell, he isn’t in the music industry at all. So… is it really so bad that he isn’t on the list?

    Hahahah. I had no idea they were married to each other to begin with. For some reason, I thought he was married to the girl from that movie he was in with Jonah Hill and Diddy. Who is that girl married to? Are they seeing each other? I should probably listen to the radio more.

    I call bullsheet. It’s not like she’s a royal princess who was cheated on by some cad and now they’re trying to keep said cad away from her at some little garden party. She’s a freakin’ singer and it’s a huge event. Katy’s being a diva. I think Russell’s kind of skeevy, but booooo. Let the guy go.

    So…it’s like High School? I’m with Deja about her. I love her fashion sense and think she’s extremely pretty but her personality is awful.

    Lab owner – you’re right.

    RB was funny in Get Him to the Greek and I’m not trying to be that asshole, but I can’t get over the fact he dressed like Osama the day after 9/11.

    I’m with Deja on this, too. No, he’s not a musical person, but to say he can’t go bc they don’t want her to have a bad night is stupid. No offense, but she’s not that special.

    I knew Russell Brand from when he hosted the VMAs in 2009? When Britney gave that horrid performance. Idk if they were together at that point.

    It doesn’t say she’s the one that requested the uninvite. Maybe the producers were trying to fix something that didn’t need fixing? I don’t care about either of them but it seems like much ado about nothing.

    @PlathAddict, you’re thinking of Rose Byrne. She was also in Bridesmaids as Helene and the main character alongside Glen Close in Damages. And a bunch of other stuff. No clue who she is dating.

    The people running the People’s Choices Awards are lame.

    Oops, I meant Helen. Please don’t tell the folks at Toddlers and Tiaras of my mispelling :(

    @Tessa, thanks! I kept thinking she looked familiar in Get Him to the Greek, but couldn’t place her. Plus, I’m way too lazy to go looking up random chicks that I think might be married to someone as random as Russell Brand. I probably shouldn’t admit this but, unless they are on a trashy/skanky reality show, I usually can’t tell “celebrities” apart. And since I stopped listening to the radio in the early Aughts, I kind of have no idea who sings what and who shows up on music related awards ceremonies.

    If it’s true that RB isn’t going I bet he took himself off the list. Sounds like cooked up bullshit to me.

    I was reading about their divorce in while waiting in line at the supermarket and every statement a “friend” made about it in People was contradicted by the next “friend’s” statement — I don’t think anyone knows what the deal behind the breakup is beyond that they got married too fast and now want out of it as quietly as possibly.

    Would he have even been invited if he weren’t Mr. Katy Perry? Is he up for any awards himself?

    There’s no real reason for him to go.

    Gawd! First off, I wasn’t at all surprised by their split. I wanted them to split up the second I heard they were together. I can’t stand Katy “I Wish I Was Awesome Instead I Have The Most Annoying Singing Voice Since Ke$ha And I Have No Chin And I Can’t Stand When People Say I Look Like Her Because She Is Fucking Lame” Perry and I love Russell Brand (Sarah Marshall, hello?). She’s not funny or cool enough to be with him. And I think he’s wicked hot, though I’ve also been in love with Robert Smith my whole life so I’m sure that has something to do with it.

    She sounds like a bigger bitch than I previously thought. I hate it when the media twists up a breakup story to cater to the more universally popular one, no matter how ridiculous the reason they’re popular is. Reminds me of the Brad vs Jennifer bullshit. Excuse me, but how do we know these women aren’t annoying sea hunts and these guys used great restraint by divorcing them instead of smothering them with a pillow?

    @Joy_Subtraction – i was a little confused by your katy perry description up there, could you qualify it? are you stating that:

    * people say katy perry looks like kesha
    * people say you look like kesha
    * people say you look like katy perry

    also, based on your response:

    * no one who has been legally granted a US driver’s license has ever said this
    * i’m sure they meant it in a nice way – she has a unique beauty, sorta
    * how you doin’?
