Katy Perry Gag Orders Russell Brand

Katy Perry has finally had enough of ex-husband Russell Brand, but, really? This is what puts her over the edge?

Perry has called her lawyers and demanded a gag order to be placed on Brand, because apparently the greasy fast talker just won’t close his mouth about their marriage.

A friend close to the “Part of Me” star let slip, “Katy is fed up with Russell constantly making references to their marriage in interviews. While it’s mainly harmless and often even complimentary, she’s sick to death of his comments being splashed all over the news and magazines.”

Perry, apparently, “vowed to never reveal the ins and outs of their marriage break down or speak about Russell in any way. All she wants is the same in return,” said the insider.

It was Brand’s recent interview with Howard Stern that reportedly pushed the cushy singer too far and made her go “berserk.”

In the interview, Brand candidly told Stern, “[Before] we got married, I just thought ‘I’ve got to marry her, I just love her so much.’ And then we got married and I thought, ‘Okay, this isn’t really working out.’ I was really, really in love with her, but it was difficult to see each other. We were together when it was right to be together, and when it wasn’t we worked it out.”

To this, straight-talking Stern pointed out, “You wined and dined her. You fooled her. And now she’s f*cking devastated. Good for you!”

Brand responded with, “Well it was a lovely relationship; it mostly didn’t work out for practical reasons. Now we’ve both gone our separate ways.”

That’s not too terrible, really. Let’s be honest. He could have been insulting, he could have laughed about her moves in bed and it would have made for a way better Howard Stern interview. But he’s trying to be sweet, in a stupid way.

Likely Perry is playing that age-old game that grownups enjoy after breaking up a relationship, the one I like to call Pretend Your Ex Is Dead. With Brand all over the radio and television talking about her, it’s really hard to maintain that façade that his shark cage malfunctioned and he was tragically torn to pieces. Nothing like hearing all about how your love just wasn’t enough for your ex, when the man really ought to just be dead, or at the very least have moved out of town, changed his number, and essentially ceased to exist.

However, correct me if I’m wrong here, didn’t Perry just have a movie come out in which her marriage is discussed?

Now I haven’t seen it, because it was a movie about Katy Perry, but the previews certainly hinted that the bosomy star would drop a few tidbits about her broken relationship. So isn’t a gag order a little rich on her part?

Besides, all signs point to the singer shacking up with John Mayer, professional heartbreaker, so she’s got bigger problems to worry about and a song about being cheated on to start planning.
