On Gawker, in the comments they keep talking about this divorce announcement revealing a Blind Item.. but which one?? any idea?
[QUOTE=Kittylady;2616642]So he's supposedly filed for divorce rather than her because he wants to spare the feelings of her deeply Christian parents who'd be upset if she did it? Not buying it. QUOTE]
I believe that as much as I believed them last week when they both said their marriage was great.
On Gawker, in the comments they keep talking about this divorce announcement revealing a Blind Item.. but which one?? any idea?
1. Lots of girls feel that way in 6th grade
2. She grew up on a strict household, that going to effect how a girl feels about sexuality etc
3. It's not like she's ever lied about anything else for publicity is it?
4. just because she didn't like them as a child (20 yrs ago?) doesn't mean that she hasn't changed her mind now.
It took Perry a while to learn to embrace her body. "I started praying for [breasts] when I was, like, 11," she says. "And God answered that prayer above and beyond, by, like, 100 times, until I was like, 'Please, stop, God. I can't see my feet anymore. Please stop!' I was a lot more rectangular then. I didn't understand my body. Someone in sixth grade called me 'Over-the-shoulder boulder holder.' I didn't know I could use them. So, what I did was, I started taping them down. How long did I tape them down for? Probably until I was about 19. And, no, I don't have any psychological pain because of it."
^ Why does it seem that every celebrity lady with breasts tells that exact same story? Salma Hayek did and I know a few others but I cant remember any names.
Im not saying that prayer doesnt help. Im saying that I dont believe her. With Salma Hayek its believable because shes very well endowed. Ive never seen Katy as particularly curvy or endowed, especially after seeing that older pic of her in the white.
No, Im not buying what shes selling. Sorry.
As for this whole thing with the marriage, Im a Christian and if a woman is an Atheist I dont even consider them for a relationship. We can be friends, sure, but anything more is out of the question because I know therell be problems down the line. Why she bothered marrying an Atheist Ill never know. It has been mentioned that she might have thought she could change him but even so, surely she knew such a thing wouldnt happen overnight and also that thered be many problems and arguments along the way. I guess it got to be too much for Russell so he divorced her.
TMZ says they have been "working on it" for a few months, but "the effort fell flat ...with both sides feeling 'it just wasn't there.'"
It just wasn't there??? FFS, that's what marriage IS. It's not always "there" and sometimes "it" takes an extended vacation. Marriage, well my marriage anyway, ebbs and flows. Sometimes we're really into each other, other times not so much.
I'm not saying you should stay together if the situation is truly untenable... and who didn't see these two splitting eventually anyway? He looks like he smells of moth balls and crusty panties and she is just too wackadoodle to be anything but a joke. But their excuse after less than 2 years of marriage that "it just wasn't there" is pretty stupid. They barely even gave it enough time to get started.
I think she thought it could work because she's a "convenient Christian". She doesn't full live up to Christian values, yet judges others and criticizes others (ie Gaga) for going against Christian values.
She's completely full of shit.

Oh... and I've always thought she looked like Sophia Tutu from the cartoon The Racoons
![]()
^that looks like a mutated snork. (am i the only one who remembers the snorks??)
can't post pics because my computer's broken and i'm stupid
I loved The Racoons! I remember The Snorks too.
I also always wondered if, at heart, he ever respected her music. Brand was/is friends with a lot of London musicians (ACTUAL musicians) and I have a hard time believing someone with his background could sit there and listen to a song like "TGIF" and nod and be like, "Oh, yes, love, that's wonderful!"
"No, no, no, I'm not insulting you. I'm describing you." -Sherlock Holmes
But he could appreciate the commercialism of it, which if he was using her to gain status in the US…
Not surprised it didn't work but surprised it happened so suddenly. I wonder if she will still take a year off music or whatever she was planning to do.
And so, I will keep fighting to make the US a more progressive, multi-cultural country, and my fight starts on GossipRocks - mikesandy
Russell Brand and Katy Perry split after 'she put fame ahead of children'

Brand and Katy split after 'she put fame ahead of children' | Mail Online
Russell Brand’s marriage to Katy Perry collapsed as he became exasperated over her refusal to put her career on hold to start a family, it was revealed yesterday.
The star, 36, announced on Friday that the couple’s 14-month marriage was over after they spent Christmas apart and were both photographed without their wedding rings.
Brand’s lawyers filed divorce papers at Los Angeles Superior Court citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ between the pair who met at the MTV Music Awards in 2009 and were married in India a year later.
But last night sources close to Brand, who has carved out a successful Hollywood career starring in films such as the 2011 remake of Arthur, blamed the marriage breakdown on the fact his 27-year-old wife was not prepared to put motherhood ahead of fame.
One said: ‘I don’t think Katy really understood what marriage was about. I don’t think she was prepared to give up her career.
‘This wasn’t one of those occasions when Russell was mucking about, he wanted to settle down and have a family.
‘I don’t think that’s what Katy wants. I think she’s very confused. They’ve been speaking a lot.

'Katy Perry wanted Russell Brand to file for divorce so she did not have to be the one to end their marriage'
‘There have been a lot of phone calls this week. Katy is 27. That’s not too young to get married. But professionally she is in a very powerful position.
‘She’s just done a year-long tour, she’s incredibly successful and she wasn’t ready to give up her career. I don’t think she was prepared to give that up and give time to the marriage.
‘It was reported she was taking a year off, but I don’t think she’s doing that. It’s very sad. Russell is very cut up about it all.

‘It’s not great news. It is very raw and very recent. I don’t know what will come from this.’
So far Miss Perry, who is understood to be in Hawaii, has not commented on the end of the marriage.
Yesterday, Brand was seen leaving the Savoy Hotel in Central London where he is believed to be staying.
Dressed in a grey jumper and leather jacket, the star made a low-key exit from the hotel with his face hidden by dark sunglasses and a woollen hat. One of those accompanying him was singer Florence Welch from the band Florence and the Machine.
On Friday, Katy’s father, Keith Hudson, 64, a born-again evangelical Christian who tours American churches with his wife Mary, was visibly upset as he spoke outside his home in Irvine, California.

He said: ‘I can’t talk, I’m sorry about that. I’ve had 1,500 people calling me today. I’m really sorry.’
News of the split came after months of speculation about the state of the couple’s relationship as they struggled to make time to see each other between their work commitments.
In November, Brand was forced to play down reports his wife had already filed for divorce during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres chat show saying: ‘What? She could have told me.’
But the rumour mill went into overdrive when the couple were both photographed without their wedding rings as they spent Christmas 7,000 miles apart.
Brand was pictured in Cornwall on Christmas Day where he was understood to have spent the weekend with comedian David Baddiel, while his wife was seen frolicking in the surf in Hawaii with a male friend.

In his statement confirming the marriage was over, he said: ‘Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage.
‘I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.’
Yesterday, an American website claimed it was former stand-up comedian Brand who filed the divorce papers because Miss Perry, who was brought up by her deeply religious parents, did not want to be the one ending the marriage.
The site claimed the couple agreed to end their marriage weeks ago but wanted to wait until they were both out of the country before the papers were filed on Friday.

In the seven-page document, Miss Perry is listed by her birth name, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. Brand, who bought a £4 million house in the Hollywood Hills with his wife, has ticked the box for ‘property rights to be determined’.
The couple, whose lavish wedding in October 2010 saw them riding on elephants, are not believed to have signed a pre-nuptial agreement.
Under Californian law, Brand could be entitled to up to half of the money his wife earned during their marriage – despite claims they lived together for only six weeks of that time.
Miss Perry, who found global fame with her 2008 single I Kissed A Girl, is believed to be worth £28 million while her California Dreams world tour is believed to have earned her an additional £12 million.
