Their Indian adventure was a dream. Japan? Not so much. Katy Perry tweeted this weekend that her husband Russell Brand, who had flown in to see her perform, was deported from the country because of old legal problems there. "So ... my husband just got deported from Japan. I am so. sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favorite place #tokyodreamscrushed," wrote Perry, 26. She blamed the deportation on "priors from over 10 years ago." Meanwhile, Brand, 35, posted a photo of himself in a stark white room and the message: "Planning escape from Japanese custody. It's bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick." Perry performed Sunday in Nagoya, and has concerts lined up in Tokyo on Monday and Tuesday and Osaka on Thursday before returning to the U.S. for more tour dates in June.Priors aka DRUGS!
Russell Brand will make his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live this month. NBC has announced that the Get Him To The Greek star will front the February 12 edition of the late-night sketch show. Chris Brown will also make his SNL debut as the musical guest for the same episode.I'll be tuning in!
In related news, Katy Perry has just been confirmed as a performer at this year's GRAMMYS. As much as I adore Katy Perry, she needs some serious help in the live performance department. *fingers crossed* that she doesn't bomb!“Happy 90th birthday grandma HUDSON! You’re the reason why!”
People call her Mrs. Brand to "try to get my attention," she says. "Like if I'm at an event or something like that, and they want special attention, they go, 'Mrs. Brand!' And I go shwoosh [looks back]."I like these two together! They seem like a ball of fun....
In a traditional Indian wedding procession, known as the "bharat," the bridegroom and his male relatives and friends walk to the spot where the bride awaits. The bridegroom is often on a white horse, but an elephant is considered an even grander, more magnificent mode of transportation – the maharajas, or Indian royals, traditionally arrived at weddings on elephants.Perfect!
The sound of Indian instruments – including the sitar, the santoor, the tabla and kettle drums – and the singing of traditional Rajasthani folk musicians could be heard from deep inside the Aman-i-Khas resort, along with some sacred Vedic chanting and the occasional burst of applause and cheering by the guests.
At the entrance, the trees lining the path into the venue were lit up with white and gold lights.
Russell Brand is having a bad travel day. The actor, 35, tangled with paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday afternoon, then was placed under arrest by one of the photographers. Airport police responded to a "report of a battery involving a celebrity and a commercial photographer" and the alleged victim made a "private person's arrest," according to a police statement. TMZ posted a video showing Brand arriving with fiancée Katy Perry and marching through a throng of paparazzi. The actor shoved several photographers out of his way as he headed into the terminal. Officers made it official with their own arrest and the Get Him to the Greek star was hauled in for booking.After the arrest, Katy took to her Twitter account and tweeted:
If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me. #standbyyourman #don'tfuckwiththeBrands.Yeah, Lady Katy....take up for your man!!!!!!
