Katy Perry is allegedly nervous about what Russell Brand might choose to reveal about their broken marriage in the third installment of his memoir series, “My Booky Wook.”
Sources tells Us Weekly that Brand has started working on the book. The first installment, “A Memoir of Sex, Drugs, and Stand-Up,” was published in 2009. The second, “This Time It’s Personal,” came out a year later.
KATY PERRY AND RUSSELL BRAND DISCUSS DIVORCE IN PERSON: REPORT
“He wants to tell his side of the story,” a source close to Brand tells the magazine, explaining why he’s reportedly forging ahead with the project. “The book will cover his married life, the breakup and moving on. And I don’t think he plans on keeping the breakdown of the marriage a secret. Pardon the pun, but Russell is an open book.”
Sources close to Perry say she is concerned.
“There’s definitely stuff she doesn’t want out there,” one source claims.
While a rep for Brand tells the magazine that, “Russell is not working on another book and has no plans to do so anytime so anytime soon,” a source at his publisher, HarperCollins, contradicts that statement.
“Russell felt it was a good time to start putting material together,” the source claims. “For the past few months, he’s been recording audio notes on his phone and documenting his feelings and experiences on video camera.”
Brand — who filed for divorce from Perry on Dec. 30 after 14 months of marriage — has admitted that he thinks about life as collecting material.
In 2010, he joked, “Every time I get into trouble or something happens to me, I think, ‘That’s a chapter!’ I’ve already got three or four for ‘My Booky Wook 3.'”
