Madonna Wins Golden Globe, Elton John’s Husband Reacts

At the Golden Globe Awards, Madonna and Elton John were both up for best original song, and traded insults on the red carpet, but after Madonna won, John’s husband David Furnish lashed back on his Facebook page.

“Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!” Furnish said on Facebook, according to TMZ. “Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism.”

He also called Madonna’s recent criticism of Lady Gaga “desperate.”

Furnish may have been referring to several aspects of Madonna’s speech, which came after her song “Masterpiece,” from her film “W.E.,” beat out John’s “Hello Hello from “Gnomeo and Juliet.”

Before the night’s festivities, Elton told NBC’s Carson Daly that Madonna “doesn’t have a f***ing chance of winning tonight.” After laughing, Daly asked if those were “fighting words” but Elton called them “accurate words.”

When Daly told Madonna about Elton’s jab, she asked, “Was he wearing a dress?’ … adding, “may the best man win.”

According to Us Weekly, Madonna voiced her hopes backstage that she and Elton could patch things up. “I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years,” she quipped. “He’s been known to get mad at me so I don’t know. He’s brilliant and I adore him so he’ll win another award. I don’t feel bad!”

Katy Perry’s Parents Promote Perfume, No Comment on Divorce

Katy Perry’s parents, who are evangelical ministers, talked about their famous daughter at religious services in Ohio on Wednesday, but sidestepped the issue of her divorce from Russell Brand.

Keith and Mary Hudson, who arrived at Church on the Rise in Westlake, outside Cleveland, to host two nights of “prophetic services,” said they attend Perry’s concerts even though they don’t love the idea of people worshiping pop idols.

“I only go for one reason and one reason only … because I love my daughter and I will always love her,” Keith Hudson said.

The Hudsons billed themselves as “Katy Perry’s parents” on marketing materials for the event, but then told the crowd of about 300 that they don’t need help from anyone famous – or their relatives – to find God.

“I’m sure that Katy’s trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight,” Mary Hudson said in her opening remarks.

“You don’t need a verse or a scripture. You don’t need Katy Perry’s father,” Keith said later. “In the news they call us, ‘Katy Perry’s parents are religious.’ Do I look religious?”

Keith, who did most of the speaking, said he converted from a drug user to a Christian when he was 24 years old. He touched on the evolution of church, developing a relationship with Jesus, and keeping a relationship with one’s children.

“What has taken place in my daughter’s life has opened many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people,” he said. “They like us because we’re cool. We are not threatening.”

He added: “The most important people on this Earth are your family. What would heaven be like without your children?”

The couple handed out samples of Katy’s new perfume, “Purr,” but did not mention the divorce.

Did Katy Perry and Russell Brand Have a Prenup?

After news of Katy Perry and Russell Brand divorcing, questions have been stirring as to whether or not there is a prenup and if not, who would walk away with more money.

According to Russell Brand, there was no prenup in this marriage.

According to Forbes, Katy Perry made roughly $45 million during the 14-month marriage.

Brand, meanwhile, made much less. Estimates are that he made between $6 and $8 million

California laws probably apply to their marriage. Which means that Brand is entitled to half of what Perry made from work done while married: perhaps half of $45 million.

Also, the couple may want to keep the details of their divorce a secret, which would be easy to do with a $22.5 million payday for Russell.

Russell Brand May See $20 Million of Katy Perry’s Worth if No Prenup

Russell Brand told New York Magazine last year that the couple did not sign a pre-nup, which could mean he’s entitled to half of Perry’s estimated $44 million net worth.

According to California law, the couple — who wed there in October 2010 — must split their earnings 50/50.

That could potentially score Brand at least $20 million. According to Forbes, the 27-year-old “Fireworks” singer is worth at least $44 million, but some reports suggest it could be more.

Brand is reportedly estimated to be worth around $15 million.

The couple, who surprised fans when they announced Friday they were getting divorced, had spent Christmas apart amid rumors of relentless fighting.

Brand submitted the divorce papers in Los Angeles, reportedly at the request of Perry, who did not want to upset her religious parents.

The superstar couple wed last October, and have been fighting off rumors of marital problems in the past few months. Earlier this month, the British comedian debunked reports about any problems in their marriage on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Despite the sad turn of events, Brand appears to be trying to stay positive. “I’m doing good. Everything is going to be better next year,” he told London’s Daily Star.

Russell Brand Files for Divorce from Katy Perry

Russell Brand has filed for divorce from popstar wife, Katy Perry, confirming the rumors. The comedian filed for the split in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences for the dissolution of their marriage. The pair tied the knot in October of 2010 in India.

After spending the holidays apart, rumors began to circulate about a breakup. Perry jetted off to Hawaii with friends for the Christmas holiday while Brand stayed in London’s West End. On Thursday, Brand was even spotted without his wedding ring and Perry was similarly seen on the beach in Hawaii sans one very important piece of jewelry.

“Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage,” Brand said, according to AP wires. “I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”

Brand told Ellen Degeneres just weeks ago that his marriage to Perry was going strong. “I am really happily married,” Brand explained on the show.

Could Jessica Simpson Be The New Idol Judge?
