Among this year's celebrity breakups, the Katy Perry-Russell Brand split could be the most "aww"-inducing, with the kooky couple seeking a divorce after a romantic whirlwind courtship and only 14 months of marriage. But how did Russell wind up being the "bad guy" who actually filed the court papers? Could be that he did it for her sake. Perry's parents are evangelical Christians, according to TMZ , which heard from sources connected to the two that Katy was raised to believe divorce is wrong, and didn't want to upset her folks. So after trying to work things out and agreeing "it just wasn't there," Brand allegedly took one for the team. PHOTOS: Celebrity breakups of 2011 "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," Brand said in Friday a statement. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." It doesn't appear as if religion was the reason for the split, though we can't imagine bits like his ...

Fans of Katy Perry and Russell Brand were shocked yesterday when reports surfaced that comedian Brand had filed for divorce from the "Firework" singer, citing "irreconcilable differences." "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," Russell Brand said Friday. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." The couple had been married only 14 months, and rumors immediately began to fly concerning the divorce. Did Brand cheat on Perry? Did he really tell the singer to "tone it down"? What was the source of their alleged "massive fight" just before Christmas? So far, two big stories have emerged amid the wreckage of the Perry-Brand divorce rumors. In one version, sources claim that Perry pressured Brand to file for divorce after their marriage began to fall apart, worried that if she instigated the process she would offend her evangelical parents. In an alternate story, however, other sources insist that the div...

(AP Photo/Joel Ryan, FILE (Joel Ryan - AP) Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy Perry on Friday, ending their 14-month marriage and two-year romance. It feels like just yesterday that the odd couple fell in love, quickly became engaged, married in India and became the subject of many tabloid rumors the last of which turned out to be true. Lets take a look back at the highlights (and low points) of their relationship. September 2009 : Brand and Perry began dating after they hit it off during rehearsals for the MTV Video Music Awards.

Originally published December 30, 2011 at 5:20 PM | Page modified December 30, 2011 at 7:12 PM LOS ANGELES British actor-comedian Russell Brand is divorcing "California Gurls" singer Katy Perry after 14 months of what had appeared to be one of Hollywood's happier marriages. "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," Brand said Friday. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

Perry praised her husband backstage at the 2011 VMAs in August, wh...

(Recasts, adds background) LOS ANGELES, Dec 30 (Reuters) - British comedian and actor Russell Brand called it quits on his 14-month marriage to "Teenage Dream" singer Katy Perry on Friday, filing for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Brand, 36, star of the movie "Get Him to the Greek", and U.S. pop star Perry, 27, met in 2008 and married on October, 2010 in a lavish wedding in India.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand were exchanging four-letter words rather than hugs and snuggles at the holiday -- maybe. Unidentified troublemakers are insinuating that a huge, nasty argument occurred.

She also reportedly wasn't wearing her wedding ring. Brand was on a beach in England, where he posed next to a different, not-unimpressive bosom, as shown in the Daily Mail. Why, why, why? No clue, so far. Us Weekly cited a couple of unnamed sources in its scoop -- first there were plans to take Perry's relatives to ...
