"Ouch!\r\nChart-topping, record-breaking superstar Katy Perry had the best year of her career so far in 2011 -- but husband Russell Brand wasn&amp;apos;t always cheering her on, pals reveal in the new Us Weekly, out now.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There were so many times when he wasn&amp;apos;t there,&amp;quot; an insider says of Brand, 36, who blindsided Perry, 27, by filing for divorce Dec. 30 without consulting her.\r\nWeeks before, when the &amp;quot;Firework&amp;quot; singer guest-hosted Saturday Night Live, the British comic turned down Perry&amp;apos;s plea to perform in a skit with him, remaining in L.A. instead.  And after Perry had pulled off her SNL stint?\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;He told her that she wasn&amp;apos;t that funny,&amp;quot; an insider says of Perry&amp;apos;s skits parodying Pippa Middleton, Christina Aguilera and others. &amp;quot;That really hurt.&amp;quot;\r\nAnd when the Arthur star did show up to support his wife, as he did at Perry&amp;apos;s final concert stop in November, &amp;quot;He was totally uninterested and seemed annoyed he was there,&amp;quot; says a witness. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t think he sat through one song.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nFor much more on Brand and Perry&amp;apos;s vicious split -- what&amp;apos;s at stake financially, why Brand hates Perry&amp;apos;s pal Rihanna, whether he&amp;apos;s a &amp;quot;sex addict&amp;quot; -- pick up the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
