Going their separate ways
分道扬镳型
Katy Perry, 29, US & Russell Brand, 38, UK
凯蒂佩里，29岁（美国）；拉塞尔布兰德，38岁（英国）
The case of Perry and Brand has proved that the “singer-and-actor” formula can go wrong, and turn ugly.
凯蒂佩里和拉塞尔布兰德的爱情之路证明了“歌手配演员”式的爱情也会出错，以至反目成仇。
After a year’s dating, the pop star and comedian got married in October 2010. Their marriage lasted 14 months.
在交往一年后，风行歌手凯蒂佩里与喜剧明星拉塞尔布兰德于2010年10月结婚。这段婚姻维持了14个月。
Recently, Perry revealed to Vogue magazine that Brand sent her a text message on New Year’s Eve asking for a divorce and the two have never spoken to each other again since.
最近，凯蒂佩里向《Vogue》杂志透露，布兰德在新年前夜给她发了一条哀求离婚的短信，从那之后，二人再未和对方说过话。
Maybe it was the imbalance- Perry’s worldwide fame compared with Brand’s tepid career - that caused the couple to go their separate ways. Or perhaps, as rumor has it, Brand didn’t like the idea of Perry “being in control” of things. Either way, it was a notorious breakup.
凯蒂佩里享誉全球的名望与拉塞尔布兰德不温不火的事业形成鲜明对比，事业的失衡可能是他们分手的导火索。或许，正如传闻中说的那样，布兰德不喜欢派瑞的“控制欲”。不论如何，这场爱情以难堪的分手告终。
