Katy Perry and Russell Brand Split
Pop Star Katy Perry and Comedian Russel Brand Are Filing for Divorce
We were all sad to hear it: Katy Perry and Russell Brand were one of those couples we all loved—because we thought they were a little different. There was something lovably and related about the eccentric couple—the Russel Brand, the British comedian and Katy Perry, the pop artist with a quirky and upbeat style seemed to be happier and, in a strange way, more stable than all the flimsy Hollywood relationships that plaster the front of the tabloids.
But, in the end, it’s not so. Katy and Russell have decided to file for divorce after 14 months of marriage and a whirlwind courtship. Russell just filed for divorce after the couple spent the last month denying rumors of a split.
The couple was married in a traditional Hindu ceremony on October 23, 2010. Other than her participation in the wedding ceremony, Katy admitted that she hasn’t ever been “really involved” in Russell’s Hinduism. Katy comes from an evangelical Christian family with very strict values and beliefs, and she says that despite her strict fundamentalist upbringing she’s “very accepting” when it comes to religion and that she supported Russell in his religious beliefs.
The couple seems to have arrived at the decision to split after months of speculation and rumors. “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage,” Russell said in a press release on Friday, “I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.” This is good news for all of us who feel that Katy and Russell make a great couple—they can continue to grace our entertainment headlines as friends despite their split—we hope.
What’s next for Katy and Russell? Time will tell. Katy recently told Barbara Walters on the news legend’s yearly “most interesting people” episode that she’d like to have children and that wanting a family is one of the best reasons to get married.
Last Minute Stocking Stuffers: Tickets!
The holidays are imminent. Whether you’re looking for one more thing to throw in the stocking before Christmas day or looking for a great gift for the last day of Hanukah, tickets to sporting events, concerts, Broadway plays or comedy shows are a personal, meaningful gift that. Even if you’re just planning to travel soon and want to catch a show with someone you love, giving tickets as a holiday, birthday or graduation gift is fun and special.
Give the gift of experiencing a live concert, game or other event
Know a guy who wouldn’t miss a single game but would love to be closer to the court than on his couch? As the college basketball season kicks off, now is the perfect time to score some NCAA basketball tickets to a home or away game played by his favorite team. Give them now and let him enjoy the thrill of a live game.
Almost everybody loves some genre or artist, and concert tickets are a great way to go above and beyond the typical iTunes giftcard or compact disk stocking stuffer. Whether it’s your sister who loves pop artists like Katy Perry or your aunt who would love to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra, concert tour tickets are an easy to mail, easy to give gift that will not go unappreciated.
If your dad’s not a music guy, why not send him to see a laugh-inducing comedy show by classic comedians Jerry Seinfeld or Robin Williams? It can be an evening of fun that he’ll never forget, but it won’t break the bank and it won’t get re-gifted. Perfect!
And, of course, there’s Broadway tickets—perfect in combination with a trip to New York or a weekend getaway with your significant other, Broadway tickets are timeless way to say you care, and a breathtaking way to spend an evening. Shows like Wicked, Jersey Boys, The Book of Mormon and Billy Elliot are being talked about everywhere you turn. Isn’t it your turn to take someone you love to see one of the most-talked about Broadway shows playing right now? And that, of course, is the best part of gifting tickets…
…you should probably just get one for yourself, too!
