Russell Brand sends Katy Perry an email which says filing for divorce was the 'biggest mistake' of his life


Seems like Russell Brand's dealing with a cold case of you don't know what you've got until it's gone. The British comic is said to be 'seething with jealously' after his ex-wife Katy Perry was pictured at the Coachella Festival last month with Robert Ackroyd of Florence And The Machine.
Which led the actor to send her a long email admitting that he 'gave up' on their marriage too soon.

Brand filed for divorce from Perry in December and cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split but now it appears being faced with the green-eyed monster has caused him to think things over.
 
It has been reported that Russell sent the 27-year-old singer an emotional e-mail in which he has asked for a second chance and said ending their 14 month marriage was a 'mistake'.
A source close to the 36-year-old told Grazia, 'Word has it Russell was "seething with jealousy" when he saw pictures of her with Rob. He apparently feels he gave up on their relationship too easily.'

The source continued, 'It's fair to say that Russell only wishes Katy happiness but perhaps he should have realised just how special his wife was when he was married to her rather than five months later.'
When Russell filed for divorce at the end of last year, it was reported that he did not agree with Katy's partying lifestyle and he told her to 'tone it down'.
Added to the fact that Katy was on a mammoth tour it seems their marriage ultimately paid the cost.
Although Katy has moved on, Russell was spotted with the main woman in his life - his beloved mother Barbara.

The comedian and his mum were spotted lunching in Primrose Hill, North London today.
Yesterday the California Gurls singer tweeted a line from Forrest Gump: 'Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far far far away from here.'
Which could possibly be a sign that she might be thinking things over as well.

Superbowl: Madonna's Dress by Givenchy and a Star on Her Crotch, Mia Gives the Finger

Madonna’s Hail Mary


New York is triumphant, Gisele disappointed: The Giants walked away with a new Super Bowl ring last night. But for the legions of fashion fans tuning in last night, it was the halftime show that was the main event. Madonna delivered a rousing (if potentially lip-synched) performance that incorporated plenty of old hits, including “Vogue,” “Open Your Heart,” and “Like a Prayer,” along with her new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” for a ten-minute-plus medley that ended with a full-on gospel choir. Along the way, LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., and Cee-Lo Green all made appearances. (M.I.A. even managed to elude censors to give the finger to the live television audience.)
M.I.A.

And the wardrobe? Courtesy of stylist and costume designer B. Akerlund, who worked with Madonna on videos including “Celebration,” “Jump,” and “4 Minutes,” they incorporated an Egyptian goddess’ store of gold headdresses and jewels and a dash of Versace-inspired Greece. Her three looks all came courtesy of Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy Haute Couture: to begin, a gold cape hand-embroidered with gold metal, studs, crystals, and lined in leopard-print chiffon; in the middle sections, a black minidress in silk cady with leopard-print cape in silk charmeuse (also hand-embroidered) and hand-studded python belt with removable flaps (above); and to close, the long black coat in silk cady with hand-embroidered sequins and micro pearls. (Sketches of all three looks are below.) Philip Treacy created her gold metal hat for Givenchy, and the label also created her nappa leather gloves. In a statement, the designer said, “People say everything has a limit, but limits do not exist with Madonna.” (Twitter seems to concur: The site reports that her performance garnered an average 8,000 tweets per second for five straight minutes.) Madonna accessorized with 19.6 carats of white gold and diamond earrings by Bulgari and over-the-knee boots by Miu Miu. Her hair was styled by Andy Lecompte and makeup by Gina Brooke.

The rest of the evening’s fashion credits continue to roll in. Madonna’s “Music” backup dancers wore Jeremy Scott for Adidas; Nicki Minaj wore a headdress by Erickson Beamon.
