KATY Perry and Russell Brand thought they were going to enjoy a nice trip to Japan this weekend - the only problem is ... Japan kicked Russell out of the country!

Celebrity website TMZ reports Katy is in the middle of the Asian leg of her tour and Russell came along for the ride - only things didn't go as planned. She went on to explain the problem was over "priors from over 10 years ago!"

"So my husband just got deported from Japan. I am. so sad. I Brought him all this way to show him my favourite place," she tweeted.

Brand seemed to be in good spirits over the whole ordeal, tweeting at one point, "Planning escape from Japanese custody. It's bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick."

Immediately after performing her final Aussie gig in Brisbane on May 15, Perry snuck out of the country for a three-day rendezvous with Brand in Fiji.

After jetting in from Miami, where he is shooting a movie, Brand and his missus stayed one night at the Hilton before nipping off to a private island.

Then it was back to work: Perry flew on to Japan and Brand back to Miami.

Meanwhile, Perry's alleged backstage rider for her California Dreams world tour has been leaked.

It states her chauffeurs are only to speak to her when spoken to and not to stare at her in the rear view mirror.

Perry's dressing room at any concert venue must comfortably cope with six to 10 visitors and be decorated in pink and cream with "absolutely no carnations". Two bottles of Santa Margarita pinot grigio, organic fruit and vegetables that have been "properly sanitised" must be laid out. When staying overnight she also has to reside in the presidential suite of a five star hotel.

Perry's label EMI could not be reached yesterday.

I see for Brand they say deported but is this the case, or refused entry?

Technical detail maybe; friend went through this with USA authorities, landed in Hawaii en route to UK and was refused entry on arrival - sent back on next available flight. He was not deported, but refused/denied entry and had no option other than leave or be held in a detention centre.

and not to stare at her in the rear

Good luck with that.

Good on the Jap's there got to be limits as to what you let in, some Countries in Europe could learn from that and so could Thailand making a name of yourself by being unrestrained obnoxious and a provocative twat apparently have a price some places.

I saw the banner headline come accross with 'Russell Brand de...'
How disadpointing he's only deported.

then of course, there was Sir paul...

Jan 25, 1980: Paul McCartney is released from a Tokyo jail and deported from Japan


Previous Day January 25 Calendar Next Day
Paul McCartney's arrival at Tokyo's Narita International Airport on January 16, 1980, marked his first visit to Japan since the Beatles tour of 1966. The occasion was a planned 11-city concert tour by his band Wings. Instead, Paul's visit was limited to a nine-day stint in the Tokyo Narcotics Detention Center, which ended on this day in 1980.
McCartney was found to be carrying nearly half a pound of marijuana in his baggage upon arrival at Narita—an amount that Paul would later assure Japanese authorities was intended solely for his personal use. The amount was large enough, however, to warrant a smuggling charge and a potential seven-year prison sentence. Given Japan's reputation for rigorous enforcement of its strict anti-drug laws, it was by no means a foregone conclusion that McCartney would escape trial and possible imprisonment, yet he was released and quickly deported from Japan on January 25, 1980, prior to making any appearance in court.
That a celebrity of McCartney's stature would avoid the consequences that a less-famous drug smuggler might have faced was hardly surprising. After all, who could blame Japanese authorities for applying a double-standard to a prisoner whose sing-alongs inside the jailhouse and screaming fans outside threatened to create a significant distraction from the normal workings of the justice system? The question that troubled the minds of observers at the time was, "What was Paul thinking?" Half a pound of marijuana was a prodigious amount for one man to carry around for personal use—particularly a man who had had reason to expect especially close examination of his person and his baggage by Japanese customs officials. After all, Paul had been denied a Japanese entry visa just five years earlier due to his numerous earlier drug arrests in Europe.
Twenty years after his 1980 arrest, Paul would opine that his psychological motivation may have been to find an excuse to disband Wings, which he in fact did immediately following his return to England. In another interview, however, Sir Paul offered an explanation that may be the more compelling for its simplicity: "We were about to fly to Japan and I knew I wouldn't be able to get anything to smoke over there," McCartney said in 2004. "This stuff was too good to flush down the toilet, so I thought I'd take it with me."
