"I want to make our wedding just about me and her loving each other. We want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it normal. It ain't about selling the pictures, it ain't about doing no prenup."
That's what Russell Brand had to say back in October 2010, just days before he wed Katy Perry in an extravagant ceremony in India. Now, of course, it seems like Brand lucked out, at least financially. Last Friday, the comedian filed for divorce from Katy Perry (who didn't want to file herself and offend her extremely religious parents) and the couples' assets are up for grabs. Brand apparently stands to make, gulp, an estimated $20 million from the pop star's fortune because, under California law, the state's community property clause splits money and property acquired during the union 50/50 when there isn't a prenup. Someone should have told Katy that rich "California Girls" cover their assets before walking down the aisle. It remains to be seen, of course, how this will actually play out in court and whether Brand will actually go for "his" half of Katy's fortune. [Hollywood Life]
