Russell Brand Deported from Japan for Criminal Past

By Christine Fenno Posted May 22nd 2011 01:02PM

Katy Perry was up in arms on Twitter earlier today, after officials in Japan deported her husband, British comedian Russell Brand, right out of the country.

"My husband just got deported from Japan. I am so. sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favorite place." She added the hashtag #tokyodreamcrushed.

So why was the 35-year-old funnyman booted from the Land of the Rising Sun? Apparently old arrests on Brand's record are to blame.

Perry got pretty hashtag-happy (#mamanothappy!... #don'tmessw/mahman!) on her followup tweet, venting: "It was for priors from over 10 years ago!"

She soon calmed down and focused on why she was in Japan -- to perform.

"But of COURSE I ♥ my Japanese fans & the show MUST GO ON no matter the daily aftershocks or husband kidnappings!" she tweeted. Perry is in the earthquake-ravaged nation for a series of concerts in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka.

The 'Teenage Dream' singer even referenced this week's much-maligned evangelical claim that the 'End of Days' was at hand, joking away Brand's swift departure from Japan with the tweet: "Totes raptured!"

Brand has spoken about the drug-addled lifestyle he kicked before marrying Perry, and he was indeed arrested in California last year, for scuffling with paparazzi as the couple made their way through airport security at LAX. This weekend, the 'Arthur' star joked about his abrupt deportation, posting a tweet and photo while being processed in detention: "Planning escape from Japanese custody. It's bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick."

He looks crazy and a lot like Charles Manson. Is he living on drugs. His eyes are wierd

Still can't figure out what she sees in him. For sure her parents are proud of her taste in men. I give it a year or two and then they'll be history. Use your 15 minutes wisely.

"It was for priors from over 10 years ago!"

Who taught her English? Sarah Palin?

On another note, ever notice how Russell Brand looks like Charles Manson?

By Chris

"Priors" is short for "prior offenses". Everyone knows that. Calm down.

Deporting someone with a violent criminal record is a great idea. America should have such a law, it sounds like a great idea.

Such a waste of a human being. Lindsy, we will all see, is not finished. She will be in jail again once she is done with this last sentence. As for the moron here, funny...chopstick...ha ha.
