Hollywood was probably impressed that Russell
Brand's marriage to Katy Perry lasted an entire 14 months—but Hindu
leaders, not so much, the
New York Daily News reports. Brand and Perry married in a Hindu ceremony
in Rajasthan, India, and as such, "they should have taken marriage more
seriously as it is a sacred rite in Hinduism," the president of the
Universal Society of Hinduism tells WENN. "If celebrities opt for a
Hindu wedding, they should be prepared to adhere to the commitment,
devotion, responsibility, sanctity, and morals which are attached to
it."
Meanwhile, Perry and Brand are either "happy, sad, relieved, sideswiped,
or depressed on any given day," depending on which article you read,
writes Luke Malone on
Jezebel.
Case in point: The
Sun claims that Perry is crying on Rihanna's shoulder in the wake of her split while Brand is doing "all right." But the
Mirror
has Perry partying quite happily with a "mystery man" on New Year's Eve
as a sad Brand spent the evening alone. For more, click to relive the couple's lavish Hindu wedding—or check out which other celebrities have
