Russell Brand, Katy Perry end marriage
After a little more than a year, Russell Brand and Katy Perry are splitting up.
Brand, 36, tells CNN in a statement, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."
The statement comes just a day after the Brit comedian and actor was spotted not wearing his wedding ring, and Katy was seen without hers while in Hawaii over the Christmas holiday.
The couple have steadfastly denied having problems in their relationship, with both of them shutting down rumors of a trial separation over the summer.
In late November, Katy, 27, made light of the gossip that she and her husband were headed for divorce. "First I'm pregnant, then I'm divorced. What am I, 'All My Children?!'" she joked via Twitter.
This week, however, the rumors escalated, with a source telling E! News on Wednesday that the couple was indeed having trouble and that they'd been spending time apart.
The couple wed in India in October, 2010.
This marriage was a mistake obviously. It was only a matter of time. There is a maturity and reality gap between these two.
While spoiled Katy sails along on gumdrops and candy canes - Russell is more grounded and resilient due to his rags to riches transformation that could all disappear as quickly as it came and he knows it.
Ongoing addiction recovery is a mismatch for Katy's youthful partying ways. All of that no drinking business wasn't much fun for Katy, neither is she inclined to set aside her career in the stratosphere to further complicate the union with a baby Brand.
Russell is wise to recognize the value of the time he's been given on this earth ( thanks Amy W) and close this chapter now and move ahead. Kudos to Russell for being decisive.
Katy can be found sipping on a milkshake. A blip in her life.
2012 is indeed a new year for them both. Good luck with that.
What's up with the magic of the Taj Mahal not doing its job? Guess it does not work for non-natives (strong evidence: Charles & Diana).
I am more interested in the weeds growing in my garden right now but if I had to say something on the subject that will be quoted in the papers it is this.. "if it wasnt for Katy Perry's amazing funbags no one would give a flying shit"
Because she has nothing else to offer...

Um, YEAH, he is!
I gave the union of Ms. Perry and what's his face 2 or 3 years at most. I was happily proven correct. What the lovely and whimsical songbird saw in that miscreant is beyond me. Que viva Perry ... abajo con Brand!
dear miss perry,
there is nothing wrong with spending the holiday season in Cornwall..
apart from the 50mph SW winds and driving rain we've had for 10 days now and the fact that most villages are empty due to second home owners who only visit in the Summer and the expensive beer prices in pubs and the fact that the nearest nightclub to wear Russell was staying was Trelawneys in Helston 20 miles away and it would be full of "matlows" this time of the year and drunk Porthleveners eating kebabs outside waiting for a cab home..
other than that it would of been much better than Hawaii..
