Russell Brand is opening up from his split from Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage – and he's got a surprisingly positive outlook on the whole divorce.
When we heard Katy Perry and Russell Brand signed exactly zero prenuptial agreements before they married, we were worried. When they announced their split last December after 14 months of marriage, we braced ourselves for a messy, brutal divorce. If he wanted to, Brand could have walked away with $20 million from his ex-wife—half of her earnings during the course of their ill-fated matrimony.
Oh, how carefree Katy Perry and Russell Brand were back in October 2010. 'Let's get married in India and have an elephant at the wedding!' 'We don't need a prenup, we're madly in love!'
Whatever happened in Katy Perry's short 14-month marriage could be cause for concern. First, Russell Brand blindsides the gorgeous blue-eyed Perry with a divorce on December 30. And now, the the 36-year-old actor is planning to write a tell-all memoir, according to Us Weekly.
Today we learned that another celebrity marriage is ending; Katy Perry & Russell Brand will be filing for divorce. It's big news because they're young and famous, because the marriage only lasted 14 months and because they always seemed an unlikely couple. But marriages are ending every day among us, especially as the new year begins. As someone who's never been married, it makes me wonder. Do people get so caught up in the whirlwind romance that they don't think about the idea of lifetime commitment? Or do they go into the marriage thinking, "I hope this works, but good thing for 'irreconcilable differences' in California"?
When Katy Perry, 27, first met Russell Brand, 36, in 2009, she hit him with a bottle. On New Year's Eve 2010, he proposed to her on the back of an elephant in India while fireworks were going off. Needless to say, this is not your average couple. But this Christmas, there were no fireworks and elephants, just a holiday spent thousands of miles apart.
With all of the mistletoe, roaring fireplaces, and hot chocolate for two, the holidays provide a perfect back-drop for a romantic engagement or wedding. So it's no wonder that the celebrity couples below decided to make their relationships official during the winter months!
Like nearly every other female celebrity has to at one point in their lives, now Katy Perry is debunking rumors that she's pregnant.
Who doesn't love great sex? Thanks to a new book about it, you can figure out whom you'll have the most chemistry with, or learn how to love up the one you're with, based on both your zodiac signs. Appropriately titled The Astrology of Great Sex, Myrna Lamb's book bears the subtitle "Discover Your Lover's—And Your Own—Deepest Desires". Enticing, right? It is, and it's also pretty accurate and incisive. As a professional astrologer myself, I can say that: You'll be impressed by how much of what turns you on, and gets you off, can be determined by the day you were born. Which gave us a thought: Besides flipping through to see how your exes stack up, couldn't this also give us invaluable insight into celeb couples' lives between the sheets? As it turns out, some of those gossipy stories that didn't seem to make much sense before, suddenly will! Read on, and you'll see what we mean.
Katy Perry says that planning the wedding is more of Russell Brand's domain.
Yes, there were clues: The cryptic tweeting, the visit to the doctors, the baby boutique. And so, like the rest of the world, we asked: Is Katy Perry Preggers? Well apparently she is not — at least that's what she wants us to think! Over the past few days, Katy Perry has taken some deliberate steps to show the world that she is not with child.
