A year ago, Katy Perry refused to listen to anybody who told her not to marry Russell Brand or make him sign a prenup, because they were in love and a love like theirs lasts forever. Except it didn’t, and now he’s entitled to half of the $44 million she made in 2011. TMZ says:
Everything they earned during their 14-month marriage is community property — which means they’re each entitled to 50% of the pot — so Russell could have scored a fortune if he exercised his community property rights.
But as one source put it, “This divorce is as amicable as it gets… Russell 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.”
Well, I’ll be damned. I figured he would milk that dumb broad for all she’s worth. I wouldn’t have guessed there was a noble bone in Russell Brand’s body, unless “noble bone” was just one of those coy British euphemism meaning “erection.”
I’m torn. I suppose they were in love: she with the idea of marriage, he with her tits. They both got a lot out of the short-lived marriage. Maybe her money isn’t that important to him? I mean, he’s not exactly starving right now as it is. I expected him to go right back on the sauce, but I haven’t seen evidence of that so far.
If I had been dumped by Katie Perry……
….I’d milk her even if I walked away without a dime…..
