Evening Quickies: Mila Kunis’ Unique Date Invite & Is A Katy/Russell Divorce Imminent?
Russell Brand And Kristen Wiig Are The World’s Sexiest Vegetarians
For 10 years now, PETA has crowned one man and one woman as the Sexiest Vegetarians of the Year. And for their decade-iversary, the organization has chosen two of my favorite celebrities for the honor—Russell Brand and Kristen Wiig. Brand has apparently been a vegetarian since age 14 and when asked recently by Kelly Ripa if he took a fish oil supplement said, “I’m vegetarian. I think it’s cruel to squeeze oil out of a fish. Cause they’re lovely little guys, aren’t they?” Meanwhile, Kristen credits her vegetarian diet with her rockin’ body. I’d like to offer a meat-free congratulations to Russell and Kristen, who will be succeeding the honor from Olivia Wilde and Cobra Starship’s frontman Gabe Saporta last year and Kellie Pickler and Milo Ventigmiglia the year before that.

Alec Baldwin Unleashes His Inner ’80s Rock Star
No, you are not looking at a picture of Russell Brand with his stoner Uncle Ned. (Also, I have no idea whether Russell has an Uncle Ned.) That is, however, Alec Baldwin in costume for the upcoming flick “Rock of Ages.” Who knew he could do rock star? [People] Keep reading »
Russell Brand Banned From Entering Japan, Katy Perry Cries
“Planning escape from Japanese custody. It’s bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick … Stockholm syndrome kicking in. Just asked my guard out for (vegetarian) sushi. He giggled … Alcatraz! Shawshank Redemption! And now this! Ah, sweet blue bird of freedom!”
—Russell Brand‘s tweets on Sunday morning about being barred from entering the country of Japan to see wife Katy Perry perform. The problem was apparently several “priors” in his past. [Huffington Post]
While Russell seemed to have a sense of humor about the situation, Katy wasn’t so amused. See what she tweeted after the jump. Keep reading »
Katy Perry Sues Mag Over Claim She Had Affair With Producer
So many ridonkulous things are said about celebrities on a daily basis that their normal course of action is just to ignore. But every now and then, a magazine or website publishes a story that pisses off a celebrity so much that they decide to sue. For Katy Perry, Australian gossip rag New Weekly Magazine crossed the line when they ran a story alleging that she cheated on her new hubby Russell Brand with her producer, Benny Blanco. The article they ran gave very little in the way of proof. All it did was quote one of Katy’s former friends, Angela Summers, who said Katy liked to flirt with wild-haired Benny. Keep reading »
This Year’s Best Oscar Presenters Were Senior Citizens
Last night’s Oscars was billed as “young and hip” thanks to James Franco and Anne Hathway, so it’s interesting that my two favorite presenters of the night were ages 65 and 94. We’ll start with the baby of those two—Helen Mirren. While so many of last night’s presenters were stilted and visibly nervous, Helen appeared with her good friend and “Arthur” co-star, Russell Brand, to present the award for Best Foreign Film. Helen spoke in French while Russell gave hilariously inaccurate translations of what she said. Their rapport was so adorable and natural. I think Helen is amazing—not to mention pretty banging for an AARP member—and I have a full-fledged crush on Brand after reading a bit of My Booky Wook 2 and finding out that he is a former chubster. Honestly, it kind of left me wondering—why didn’t these two host the Oscars? It would have made more sense with the whole young-meets-old theme the Academy went for this year. Keep reading »
Russell Brand Forgot The Funny In These “SNL” Promos
Yeesh. Usually Russell Brand is a little funny, but these promos for “Saturday Night Live,” which he is hosting this weekend, are just terrible. Maybe Russell was just nervous because the musical guest is Chris Brown (boooooo) who beat the crap out of his wife Katy Perry‘s best friend Rihanna? That’s the only explanation I can surmise.

Russell Brand, The Teenage Years
I fully expect Us Weekly to include this pic of Russell next to one of a teenage Katy Perry in their ridiculous regular series, “Would They Have Dated In High School?!” Answer: I have no idea, but I’m digging his Dylan McKay-esque brooding glare. [via Buzzfeed] Keep reading »
Russell Brand Says Jennifer Garner’s Lips Are Made Of Red Velvet Cake
“She’s like a fairy princess. There’s a brand of red velvet cake—her mouth is made of that. She smashes you in the mouth [in] those kissing scenes. If I was Ben Affleck, man, I’d be pissed off.”
—Russell Brand dishes on making out with his “Arthur” co-star, Jennifer Garner. Hey, we bet this might piss of Katy Perry, too. And I wouldn’t know which side to place bets on in a Katy v. Jennifer fight. [NextMovie.com] Keep reading »
This Is A Divorceable Offense!
Katy Perry, who claims to never leave the house without makeup, apparently doesn’t sleep with a thick layer of foundation and her signature red lips. Husband Russell Brand snapped this photo of a makeup-free Perry in bed (clearly against her will) and then briefly posted it on Twitter. He took it down, but not before gossip blogs everywhere grabbed the image for themselves. How should Katy get revenge? [TooFab] Keep reading »
