He’s a known sex addict and mutilator of friendly fuzzy animals so we’re not surprised Russell Brand has a ridiculous yet romantic rant about his wife Katy Perry. It was love after abuse on the set of the 2009 MTV Awards, when Katy Perry and Russell Brand met after she launched a bottle at Brand’s head. And the abuse paid off, Brand says of the hot Hollyweird relationship: “I thought that was really rude, and we entered into some badinage and she held her own.” “I nearly asked her to marry me on our first date. It was like a hit of acid, a wave of confusion, emerging from under the water, a moment of Oh bloody hell, different perception for a moment, extraordinary…And then I thought, I’ll give it space and see what happens.” We’ve seen some pretty psychedelic looks from Perry so we can see where the acid might come in handy. Russell goes on to explain how much Katy means to him… “It’s the most normal relationship I’ve ever had with anybody. She’s very spirited, bighearted, innocent, but very, very smart. Someone told me that enlightenment is contingent upon being able to hold opposing views simultaneously. I’m actually attracted to that magnetism and sort of repulsion. She’s endlessly fascinating…I was at a point in my life where I was ready to behave. I look at it the way I look at most things: One day at a time. I will say it’s very, very rewarding and I love her.” Russell Brand is the epitome of a hot mess in love! Source

James Reed-Maroulis looked elsewhere for inspiration and found his answer in the 2000 Italian movie Malena. “I always loved the name. I’m not fond of a lot of Greek female names,” he reveals. “James is my middle name and my father’s name. It just fit.” A very “proud Greek-American,” the former American Idol alum, 35, admits that growing up with an unusual name often left him with plenty of explaining to do. “I got tortured for my name for years. They called me Dean. To this day they screw up my
“All of those rainyyy daaays, spend ya lifetime tryin’ to wash awaaaaay” Ja Rule agreed to pay over $1.1 million in tax debts and IRS penalties after the rapper pleaded guilty to tax evasion Tuesday. Ja—whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins—pleaded guilty in Newark federal court to three counts of failing to file a tax return, from 2004 through 2008, despite earning income from touring and royalties from his albums. U.S. federal judge Patty Shwartz set Ja Rule’s bail at $500,000 and permitted the Grammy nominated rapper’s release pending sentencing scheduled for June 13. Each count of tax evasion carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison. Early June will be a busy time period for Atkins as he was already scheduled to begin a two-year sentence for gun possession in relation to a 2007 arrest on June 8. Between the previous weapon charges and the tax penalties, Ja Rule faces a possible five years in prison. “Each of us must pay our fair share to keep this country going,” U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said in a statement. Ja is reportedly working on a sequel to his triple-platinum album Pain Is Love in the remaining months before his prison term begins. Man, this guy can’t win for losing. When will these niccas learn??? You can cheat on your wife, you can cheat spades, but you can’t cheat Uncle Sam! Source
Billy Ray Cyrus announces on ‘The View’ that he and Tish have decided to work things out. By Jocelyn Vena Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images After announcing their split last year Billy Ray Cyrus now says that he and his wife of 17 years, Tish, have decided to reconcile. “I dropped the divorce,” Miley Cyrus’ dad told the hosts of “The View” during a pre-taped appearance on the show airing Friday, according to USA Today. “I wanted to put my family back together.” Cyrus, who appeared on the show to promote his new album, I’m an American, out in June, said he and his family are working out their problems. “Communication I think is one of the biggest problems that we as human beings have in this whole world,” he said. “And I think for the first time me and my entire family are finally communicating with each other in a way that, it’s been quite some time … and to answer your question, things are really the best they’ve ever been.” Cyrus also seemed to retract the statements he made in a GQ interview, in which he said that his and Miley’s hit Disney series “Hannah Montana” “destroyed” their family . “I feel like I kind of got my Miley back in a way,” he said. “I feel like we are the daddy and the daughter that we were before ‘Hannah Montana’ happened. I love ‘Hannah Montana.’ I love Disney. That didn’t tear my family apart.” The country singer did, however, say that fame had something to do with the family’s troubles. “Now fame, fame is a different animal, you’ve got to be careful with that thing because it can … all things considered, hey, it’s all good.” Related Photos The Evolution Of: Miley Cyrus Related Artists Miley Cyrus Billy Ray Cyrus
At least someone’s getting work out of this whole Charlie Sheen situation. Porn star and goddess supreme Bree Olson confirmed yesterday that she has joined the cast of the upcoming indie comedy Mancation . Bree will play the wife of former N*Syncer Joey Fatone in her first “mainstream” role (meaning she probably won’t take it up the pooper on screen). The raunchy comedy will play to the AVN “Best All-Girl Three Way” award winner’s same-sex strengths, with a key scene involving Bree sticking a silicone sausage in her maid of honor and delivering such leztastic lines as “real dicks are gross.” Bree’s fellow porn star Danica Dillan has also signed on to the film, as well as Danica McKellar, aka Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years . Now that’s an all-girl three way Mr. Skin would like to see!
