Case in point: Katy Perry and Russell Brand. Their split seemed to come about suddenly (there were hardly even rumors of trouble until December 2011), but it turns out the pair had problems from the get go.

Brand blogged, "She wasn’t just some hapless wannabe, yet another pissed up nit who was never gonna make it, nor was she even a ten-a-penny-chanteuse enjoying her fifteen minutes. She was a f—ing genius.”

Hit the jump to see Perry's interview, and read more of Brand's thoughts on the loss of his friend here.

In the movie, set during the ’80s, Baldwin plays Dennis Dupree, an aging rocker who is now the owner of club The Bourbon Room. Brand, meanwhile, plays Dennis’ right-hand man, Lonny, who also serves as the story’s narrator.

The good news: Brand's live-action/animated comedy 'Hop' took the top spot for the second weekend in a row, with $21.7 million. That marks a 42 percent drop from last weekend, bringing the film's grand total to $68.2 million thus far.

Unfortunately, Brand's other movie, 'Arthur,' a remake of the Oscar-winning '80s comedy starring Dudley Moore, underperformed with audiences, bringing in just $12.6 million. The movie, which also stars Greta Gerwig, Jennifer Garner and Helen Mirren, suffered from poor reviews that likely killed its word of mouth.  My son and I actually enjoyed "Arthur", and we felt that the movie was well-received by the audience at Grand Blanc's NCG Trillium Cinemas Saturday night.  We watched the original Dudley Moor film on Netflix recently, and thought the remake was funnier.
