Russell Brand, Katy Perry Split: What Went Wrong?
Russell Brand officially filed for divorce from Katy PerryFriday, but as sources tell Us Weekly, trouble has long been brewing for the spouses of 14 months.
Just prior to Christmas, Perry, 27, and Brand, 36, had a "massive fight" over where to go on their holiday vacation.
"She was like, 'F--k you. I'm going to do my own thing.' Russell replied, 'Fine, f--k you too,'" an insider tells the new issue of Us Weekly of Perry, who ended up in Hawaii with pals, and Brand, who spent Christmas catching up with a pal in a pub in chilly London.

"I'm married to Katy," Brand told DeGeneres of Perry, whom he wed in October 2010 at a tiger sanctuary

NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood loves the Next Big Thing, and four years ago, that was Barack Obama, the equivalent of a breakout movie star.
"He is 'The One,'" said Oprah Winfrey, his biggest and most influential celebrity champion.
"The best candidate I've ever seen," said George Clooney.
Halle Berry said she'd "collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear." Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am chimed in with the famous "Yes We Can" video.
But you can't be the Next Big Thing twice and as a new election year dawns, there's clearly a different mood in heavily Democratic Hollywood.
That means less gushing, not to mention snippets of criticism, most prominently from actor Matt Damon, who campaigned for Obama last time but now makes no secret of his disillusionment.
"I think he misinterpreted his mandate," Damon said earlier this year. He recently told Elle magazine the
