Russell Brand Doesn't Want Katy Perry's Money


Because California is a no-fault state and there was no prenup, Russell Brand is entitled to half of Katy Perry's earnings throughout their marriage. He doesn't want any of it. TMZ reports:
Russell Brand is entitled to approximately $20 million of Katy Perry's fortune ... but TMZ has learned he will not take a single penny of it. Russell's lawyer filed final divorce papers Tuesday ... although the judge will make the divorce official on June 30, because there's a 6 month waiting period. Informed sources tell TMZ ... Russell and Katy did NOT have a prenup. As a result, everything they earned during their 14-month marriage is community property -- which means they're each entitled to 50% of the pot. Katy made $44 million between May, 2010 and May, 2011 -- according to Forbes. The couple married in October, 2010, so Russell could have scored a fortune if he exercised his community property rights. But here's the deal. As one source put it, "This divorce is as amicable as it gets, and Russell was a mensch (Yiddish for a good person)." He doesn't want Katy's money. He's happy to walk away with the money he earned -- which is far less than what Katy raked in.
Katy Perry earned her money shooting whipped cream out of her tits and singing about binge drinking and kissing girls and how someone is hot then cold then yes then no then in then out then up then down. As a writer whose books weren't half bad, Russell Brand probably equated taking her cash to a black guy wearing blood diamonds and a Klan hood.

Kim Kardashian Wants A Private Divorce


Kim Kardashian doesn't want her divorce televised. Radar Online says:
Kim Kardashian has instructed her high powered divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, to formally petition that her divorce from her husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries, be heard by a private mediator and doesn't want it to play out in public or on camera, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. ... Kris wants a judge to throw out the pre-nup the couple signed so he won't be muzzled by the confidentiality clause of the agreement, and he is willing to go to trial to get what he wants. “A public trial is the last thing that Kim wants, and she has instructed her lawyer to formally petition the court so that the divorce can be heard by a mediator, which is routinely done in California, since it's a no-fault state,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Kim doesn't want a long drawn out trial. She wants the mediation to be private, confidential, and legally binding. She and Kris have no assets together and kept separate bank accounts, so this is a fairly routine divorce proceeding. Kim just wants this over and done with.”
Seriously? Fuck her. She publicizes her entire life and shows up to milkshake shop openings in the Middle East for attention, but now she wants privacy? The only reason Kim Kardashian doesn't want a trial televised is that she may not have complete editorial control over it. It'd probably be tough to rent out a courtroom and get everyone to show up again in a few months for re-shoots to make her look sympathetic. Plus, she's clearly not good at pretending to cry since she can't really move her face.

Scarlett Johansson Isn't A Good Campaign Manager


Scarlett Johansson thinks the fashion world can influence voters to reelect Obama. Per E! Online:
Tuesday night in New York City, the stars came out for the launch of Runway to Win, a collaborative effort by American designers to support President Barack Obama's reelection campaign. Actress Scarlett Johansson, who cohosted the fete alongside Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, explained just why selling super-cute T's and totes can help give some Obama job security when the 2012 election rolls around... "I think the most important thing is that the fashion world has an international spotlight shown on it," she told reporters. "To be able to use that spotlight on a cause like this is incredible." The 27-year-old We Bought a Zoo star said the idea of "conscious consumerism" was appealing, and that "any way to reintroduce that kind of cool factor [to Obama's reelection campaign] is very valuable."
I'm not here to get into any political arguments, but in an era of rampant un- and underemployment, endorsements from people who design and wear $300,000 gowns may not make a candidate relatable to the everyman. The biggest help Scarlett Johansson can give President Obama would probably be to wear a V-neck (or nothing) and keep quiet.

Demi Moore Can't Look At A Scale


Demi Moore isn't allowed to look at a scale in rehab. Radar Online reports:
When Demi Moore checked into the Cirque Lodge rehab treatment center in Utah for anorexia and an addiction to prescription pills, she wasn't allowed to see her weight on the scale, and was weighed backwards because her treatment team doesn't want her focused on how much she weighs, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. ... Demi hit rock bottom after her marriage to Ashton Kutcher ended when he was "It's common treatment practice at Cirque to not allow patients that are being treated for an eating disorder to see how much they weigh when they step on the scale,” an insider tells RadarOnline.com. “Their weights are taken everyday, sometimes several times a day to make sure that they aren't losing weight while in treatment. Doctors at Cirque don't want patients to fixate on their weight. “Eating disorders are all about control, plain and simple. When someone is in the ravages of an eating disorder, their lives are typically out of control. The one thing someone with an eating disorder believes they can control in their lives, is food. Demi isn't being forced fed or chastised for not wanting to eat though. The counselors at Cirque are working on giving Demi a safe and controlled environment, she is getting the best care possible. She is also dealing with an addiction to prescription medication, and she has a comprehensive team taking care of her.”
That's all fine and good, but one thing Demi Moore should be forced to look at in rehab is her birth certificate. Her obsession with youth isn't a secret, and it's pretty idiotic. Please don't start on the pressures of fame. If Hollywood's ageism is a problem, then stop chasing men 20 years younger and focus on your actual acting ability (Meryl Streep has no problem getting work), learn a trade, or retire gracefully. You have the choice to either be another year older or to be dead. It shouldn't be this tough of a decision.

Christina Aguilera Is An Inconvenience


Unlike Adele, whose talent negates her need to show off cleavage and never made being a pinup part of her career, Christina Aguilera is insecure about her weight, and it's pissing everyone at The Voice off. The National Enquirer reports:
“Christina has turned into a bullying diva,” an in­sider told The ENQUIRER. “In interviews, she likes to say that she’s at peace with her new curves, but that’s not how she really feels.” A petite 5-foot-2,the 31-year-old Grammy winner once weighed a super-slim 100 pounds. But the “Dirrty” singer re­cently ballooned to around 140 pounds, and she’s desperate to hide the extra weight for the new season of the NBC talent show that was launching Feb. 5, said the source. “Christina holds up pro­duction with her constant demands, saying, ‘Don’t make me look fat’ or ‘Don’t show my butt,’ ” the insider revealed. “She’s insisted the cam­eramen only shoot her at flattering angles, forcing a few segments to be reshot. She also demands that the stylists bring her the latest slimming fashions, and she’s always ordering the makeup artists to make her face look thin­ner.”
If you're wondering why there's a bit of a media double standard when it comes to Christina Aguilera and Adele in terms of weight criticism, it's because Adele doesn't give a shit what she looks like as long as she can sing. Adele never made a career out of wearing assless chaps or baring her midriff. If Christina was truly happy with how she looks, she wouldn't make such a big deal over her camera angles or tripling her Spanx. If she's that unhappy with her appearance, she should probably put the bottle of empty Calories down and ramp up her cardio instead of saying she embraces her curves, then threatening the job of the camera guy who accidentally aired a shot where she had multiple chins. Letting go of her denial and buying a size up wouldn't hurt, either.

Well Played, Lindsay. Well Played.


Lindsay Lohan lives rent free at the Chateau Marmont now, so what better way to fill your days when you're not sleeping or freebasing than to let Terry Richardson take pictures of your tits? Look, I know that 90% of this blog is about Lindsay and I know I've said some pretty mean things about her, but I can hate titty fuck her, right? I mean, you guys would be okay with that? I think I've earned it. No, no you don't have to give me an answer now. Think about it. Text me later.

Sup, Maria Menounos?


Maria Menounos has been in a bikini for the past two months, so what better way for someone to make her pay for losing a bet that the Patriots lost by wearing a New York Giants bikini. I still really have no idea what Maria Menounos does exactly, but I know she doesn't write songs about guys breaking up with her and how better off she'll be like Kelly Clarkson and Adele. But she does look fantastic in a bikini. Hmmm, if there was just some way to find the correlation between those last two sentences. I guess that will just forever remain a mystery, my friends.
