Fri Dec 30 2011 by Idolator Staff
Before Russell Brand filed a petition to divorce Katy Perry, the couple appeared to enjoy a true romance. The quick-witted British comedian and the flirty American pop megastar first met at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, where they filmed a kiss for Brand's film Get Him To The Greek. They quickly became a couple, and wed in an elaborate ceremony in India in October 2010 (they surely would have made our list of pop music's best weddings if only someone had snapped a shot). But now that they're evidently headed for splitsville, all that's left to do is spin "The One That Got Away" and flip through our gallery recounting their relationship.

Sun Jul 24 2011 by Idolator Staff

A day after learning that Amy Winehouse is no longer with us, Amy's family, friends, and fans have had time to compose more heartfelt sentiments than can be conveyed via Twitter. Comedian Russell Brand struck a serious note for his friend, citing his own struggles with substance abuse in a lengthy tribute on his website. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings (who toured with and backed Winehouse on Back To Black) issued a statement that called her "one of a kind."
