  • Bruce Jenner Gets Back To Work After InTouch Cover Scandal

    Last week, Bruce Jenner made the news after InTouch released a cover featuring a badly doctored image of Jenner wearing make-up. The headline claimed to be about Jenner’s “life as a trans woman”, however, there were no quotes from Jenner and anyone else from the Kardashian clan contained inside. The cover was immediately deemed offensive, and had its detractors. However, sources claim that Jenner really doesn’t care all that much about the scandal. In fact, he went back to work the day after the cover was released.

    On Thursday, January 15, Jenner was spotted filming his reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians. The star kept a low profile, but it’s clear that all the hoopla surrounding the cover didn’t bother him. It’s another story when it comes to Kris Jenner and the rest of the Kardashian clan though. Sources claim that Kris was so offended by the cover, that she banned InTouch from any press events involving her family.

    Kris isn’t the only one who was offended by the cover. Various celebrities have also spoken out in support of Bruce, especially those with close ties with the LGBT community. In an episode of her new program, commentator and trans advocate Janet Mock, spoke out against In Touch’s actions. “What’s wrong is a magazine aiming to humiliate someone by labeling them a transgender woman, as if being trans and being a woman is an insult,” Mock said “Here’s a headline: Bruce Jenner is whoever Bruce Jenner says he is.”

    Comedian Russel Brand also weighed in on the cover controversy on his YouTube show, The Trews. Brand called InTouch’s actions “dystopian-esque bullying”. Brand said, “Doesn’t this seem like when you see Blade Runner, or some dystopian thing – when you see a bit of telly in a film from the future, and everything’s a bit ‘Hello, we’re evil now!’. It’s such a celebration of the worst aspects of human values. This is bullying. Stop. Bruce Jenner is a human being.”

  • Katy Perry: Russel Brand Divorced Her Via Text

    Katy Perry and comedian Russel Brand used to be quite the item while they were married. The couple split up in 2012, however, and details about the divorce are still coming out.

    In an interview with Vogue, Perry said that Brand asked for a divorce via a text message:

    “I was in love with him when I married him, [but] let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011,”

    If that sounds rough, it was for the pop star. Perry said that she initially shouldered some of the blame for the divorce, but she later came to the realization that it wasn’t because of her. Her reasoning was that the divorce was beyond her and that she needed to put it behind her.

    Interestingly enough, Perry says that she only stopped blaming herself after she found out the real truth behind the divorce. She won’t disclose what that truth is, however, as she is opting instead to save it for a “rainy day.”

    The rest of the Vogue interview is a fascinating look into her short fling with John Mayer, her parents, her education and what she wants out of life. Katy Perry fans will definitely want to give it a read. As for everybody else, you might just learn something about that pop star that caused one of the only few controversies on Sesame Street.

  • Russell Brand, Kardashians Flirt on Chelsea Lately

    Even when Chelsea Handler isn’t hosting her late night E! talk show, Chelsea Lately, the interviews still seem to become a bit raunchy. The three famed Kardashian sisters (Kim, Klohe, and Kourtney) took over the talk show this week, and were propelled into the kinky fantasies of Russel Brand.

    The sisters started off complimenting Brand on his accent, then moved to teasing the comedian when he stumbled over their names. The talk quickly turned sexual, however, when Brand suggested he was “vulnerable to the concept” of a threesome between the Kardashian sisters.

    Khloe happily played along, saying, “Well, I heard pregnant pussy is the best pussy.” She was referring, of course, to the fact that Kim is currently pregnant with R&B star Kanye West’s baby.

    Brand continued the flirtation saying, “I think pregnant women are radiant and beautiful, and the idea of lactation is an interesting one.”

    Not to be outdone, Khloe topped Brand by revealing some very personal things about herself and her sisters.

    “You have the best of both worlds, ’cause Kourtney is lactating and Kim is pregnant,” said Khloe. “And I am just, like, ‘raging waters.’ It’s just happy over here.”

  • Russell Brand Arrested and Released

    Russell Brand Arrested and Released

    Russel Brand turned himself in to the New Orleans Sheriff’s office yesterday afternoon, in response to the news that a warrant was out for his arrest.

    Brand was booked on two misdemeanor counts of simple damage to property, charges that carry a fine of $700. Brand paid a $5,000 bond and was sent on his merry way.

    The warrant stemmed from an incident on Monday, when Brand took a paparazzo’s iPhone out of his hand and threw it through the window of a nearby law firm. Brand had this to say about the incident:

    Paparazzo Timothy Jackson filed a police report following the episode. Brand paid for the window ($240) and Jackson got his phone back, but the police issued the criminal warrant none the less.

    Brand isn’t the only celebrity to get in trouble after grabbing an iPhone out of someone’s hand. Chris Brown was involved in a similar incident, when he grabbed a Florida woman’s iPhone and drove off with it. Brown was charged with “robbery by sudden snatching.”
