Other people smarter than The Sharpener have said that the path of true love never did run smooth – and we reckon when Enid Blyton uttered those immortal lines, she had Katy Perry and Russell Brand firmly in her thoughts. Afterall, it ain’t been easy for these starcrossed lovers - they’ve been plagued by rumours that RuBra (is that how the whole abbreviation thing works?) won’t be able to ’keep it in his leggings’, and that KaPe (hey, it kinda spells cape!) is playing the fame game and that she really prefers girls (just like her cherry chapstick and so on).

So, it is with the greatest sadness, the gloomiest of shadows and the most reluctant heart that I report to you the latest handbrake turn in the tumultuous love journey that is Ratty/Brandy/Rerry (?). Yes dear reader – they have been hiking – no, no fortunately there was NOT a fluke encounter with a rare yet aggrieved cactus – there was instead….inappropriate footwear.

I kid you not. These two jokers don’t leave the risk taking to their adventurous stage shows or boundary pushing comedy…no…it even seaps into their wardrobe choices! I ask you, dear reader, who in their right mind takes to the rocky terrain of California dressed only in low slung distressed denim, wife beater vests and pairs of flimsy flip flops?!? Apparently those blinded by love – so much to live for! So much to lose!

News Flash: At the time of going to press it seemed that this pandemic of irresponsible and feckless dressing was a hyperlocal case – claiming just two of our brightest stars. However, it is with regret that The Sharpener reports that another luminary, Christine Bleakley, has been spotted sporting a pair of vertiginous black HEELS…whilst walking up some steps!!!! HEAVEN FORFEND! The woman has just finished water skiing across the Channel for chrissakes – does she not know the risks?!?!?!?
