A year after their fairy-tale wedding in India, it seems Katy Perry and Russell Brand won't be living happily ever after. Brand, 36, filed for divorce in L.A. Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," he said in a statement to People. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." The California-born pop star, 27, and the British comedian-turned-actor began dating in 2009. Brand popped the question four months later, and they were married in October 2010 in a lavish ceremony - that included two elephants as well as acrobats and jugglers - at a luxury resort in northern India.

The British comedian was forced to postpone his comedy show in Canada after being denied entry into the country Saturday.

The funnyman tweeted, "HELP! I'm gonna be late for Casino Rama show unless someone can force Canadian customs officials to let us land in Orillia!" while apparently still in the air en route to the show.

Brand, ever cheeky, then tweeted, "How do you manipulate customs officials? Wasn't Hitler's father a customs officer? I'm pretty sure he was." Things clearly were not going well with the comic who implored the border bureaucrats, "Let me in! I must perform at Casino Rama, Orillia tonight at 9 for 5,000 Canadians."

British funnyman Russell Brand was deported from Japan on Sunday because of his previous convictions, according to his pop star wife Katy Perry.

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star had jetted to the country with the I Kissed a Girl hitmaker's tour entourage but was allegedly held by immigration officials and subsequently expelled from Japan due to prior criminal offences from more than a decade ago.

An angry Perry took to her Twitter.com blog to tell fans of Brand's deportation, writing, "My husband just got deported from Japan. I am so sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favorite place #tokyodreamscrushed.

"It was for priors from over 10 years ago!... But of Course I (love) my Japanese fans & the show #Mustgoon no matter the daily aftershocks or husband kidnappings!"

Brand is open about his past issues with drugs and run-ins with the law at the height of his addiction. He was also arrested last September over a clash with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport.

The funnyman was arrested for allegedly attacking paparazzi at LAX airport, TMZ reports. He and Perry were apparently going through security when Brand got mad and started pushing and hitting the photographers.

One photog made a citizen's arrest and the police followed up. The authorities interviewed Brand and took him into custody. He has since been released on $20,000 bail.

Perry later tweeted, "If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me."

The California Gurls singer has recently taken credit in saving her future husband Russell Brand from his days as a “professional prostitute.” Brand has been known to be a former sex and drug addict.

Entertainment news source Us Magazine.com reports that Katy thinks that she and Russell are basically the same person. The singer feels like they are “two divas” inside the house. Being together has made them a better person.

The online magazine quoted Katy: “”He used to basically be a professional prostitute – now he’s not. He’s an extremist, which can be both good and bad. I always needed someone stronger than me and I am, like, a f****** strong elephant of a woman. I say that hopefully in the humblest way I can.”

The couple are set to wed in India this October.
