Katy Perry and Russell Brand have had their divorce finalized by a Los Angeles judge. Court records showed that Superior Court Judge Marc Marmaro signed the judgment on Wednesday, February 8, less than six weeks after the "Arthur" actor filed documents to end their 14 months of marriage.
The finalization of the divorce came just a day after the "Teenage Dream" singer filed her response to her estranged husband's divorce filing, stating that they have reached a settlement of all issues. Though so, the couple won't legally become single again until July 14. California law requires them to wait six months after filing for divorce before it becomes official.
During the judgment, judge Marmaro also called for Perry's maiden name, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, to be restored. The exact terms of the former couple's divorce settlement remained undisclosed. Both Perry and Brand also didn't give indication in their court filings when they separated.
Perry and Brand tied the knot at a resort inside a tiger reserve in India back in October 2010. After weeks of break-up speculations, Brand filed for divorce in December 2011, blaming "irreconcilable differences" for the split. The estranged couple reportedly did not sign a prenuptial agreement, but it was said that Brand won't be asking for money from his singer wife.

A report that Miley Cyrus has applied to Chapman University is not true. Mary Platt, a director of communications and media relations of the private Christian college in Orange County, has set the record straight to E! News by saying that "it's just an Internet hoax."
The rumor actually was not a new one. Platt claimed, "It happened last year and the year before that-and it was the same lovely day for our staff trying to deny it all day." She hoped that whoever spread the rumor was not the admissions team of the private college. "[We have] a strict confidentiality policy concerning student enrollment," so she said.
In another news related to Miley, the girlfriend of Liam Hemsworth currently focuses on her music career. She has recently bailed out of Adam Sandler's movie "Hotel Transylvania". She wrote on Twitter, "I really wanna work on my music this year! That's all :)."

Selena Gomez is the one who will be the daughter of Dracula in "Hotel Transylvania" after all. The "Wizards of Waverly Place" starlet has taken over Miley Cyrus' job to voice Mavis, who is the vampire daughter of Adam Sandler's character, in the upcoming animated movie.
A representative to Sandler has confirmed to E! News that Gomez has been tapped to replace her fellow former Disney darling who bowed out the project earlier on Thursday, February 9. Previously, Sony Pictures announced that the former "Hannah Montana" star exited the forthcoming film but the reason of her departure is still unclear.
As mentioned above, Gomez will voice Mavis, who is described as a dark haired teenage uber-vampire. Her over-protective father, Dracula, is the owner of the titular hotel. In the film, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade Mavis' adventurous spirit.
As a heaven for Mavis, Dracula opens Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters can kick back in safety and peace. For Dracula, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem, but his world would come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.
Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, "Hotel Transylvania" also stars Kevin James, Fran Drescher, David Spade, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon, Cee-Lo Green and Andy Samberg. Sony has set September 21 as the day when the movie will open in the U.S. theaters.
As for Gomez, this is not the first time she is cast to voice an animated character. Previously, she has joined the voice cast for such animated movies like "Horton Hears a Who!", "Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard" and "Arthur and the Two Worlds War".
The "Monte Carlo" actress will soon begin filming her latest film "Spring Breakers" in Florida. In the movie, she will star opposite Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco, Heather Morris as well as Ashley Benson. Her other upcoming films include "Hot Mess" and "13 Reasons Why".
