Russell Brand filed final divorce papers yesterday and reportedly doesn't want any of estranged wife Katy Perry's earnings.

The British comedian announced he and Katy were splitting up at the end of last year. According to US website TMZ, the pair didn't sign a pre nuptial agreement and as a result, Russell is entitled to approximately $20 million of Katy's fortune.

However, sources say the star will not take any of her cash.

"This divorce is as amicable as it gets, and Russell was a mensch [Yiddish for a good person]," the insider told TMZ.

Russell's lawyer filed final papers to officially end the former couple's marriage on Tuesday. However, the divorce won't be finalised until June 30, because of the required six month waiting period.

Katy and Russell's union lasted for just 14 months after they tied the knot in October 2010. Because of the absent pre-nup the pair are entitled to 50 per cent of each other's earnings as a result of community property rights.

Katy made $44 million between May 2010 and May 2011 according to Forbes. The songstress has just been on the road for a year with her California Dreams tour.

Katy Perry �will never forgive� Russell Brand

Katy Perry feels 'insulted' by estranged husband Russell Brand, it has been revealed.

Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy in late December after 14 months of marriage.

Katy is reportedly incensed by Russell's attitude.

'Katy is insulted and feels betrayed that Russell has treated her so poorly,' an insider told Us Weekly. 'She will never forgive him. Ever.'

When Russell moved his belongings out of Katy's Los Angeles mansion last weekend, the pair were rumoured to have discussed how to proceed with their divorce. Katy may have not liked what she heard, as she wants little to do with Russell in the future.

'[Katy is] limiting [her] interactions [with Russell],' another source told the magazine. 'He''s being so atrocious that she feels like she never knew him.'

Russell announced that he will be penning a memoir in the near future. Katy is reportedly nervous about the tome, which will cover the couple's marriage in detail.

'[Russell] wants to tell his side of the story,' a source told Us Weekly earlier this month. '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.'

The pair, who wed in a lavish Hindu ceremony in India in October 2010, are currently working on finalising asset allocation and other divorce details.

Russell Crowe has pitched his songbook to Canadian band Walk Off The Earth after they create a viral hit with their Gotye and Kimbra cover.

Walk Off The Earth featuring Sarah Blackwood produced and uploaded their version of the Gotye featuring Kimbra song 'Somebody That I Used To Know' and within days had more than 3 million views on YouTube.

Over the weekend Russell Crowe tweeted, 'Check out Walk Off The Earth's cover of Somebody That I Used To Know. Brilliant'.

He then pitched his own songs to the Canadian band. '@WalkOffTheEarth. A revelation. What a collection of voices. Do you write your own songs? Crowe/Doyle Songbook vol iii on i-tunes,' he added.

Gotye and Kimbra both approve of the Walk Off The Earth version. 'I know who to ask for help with acoustic versions of Somebody: Walk Off The Earth. Hilarious and brilliant,' tweeted Gotye on Saturday.

Yesterday Kimbra also commented via Facebook, 'Yes, I agree with you all, this is truly amazing. THAT's team work'.

Watch the Walk Of The Earth and Sarah Blackwood (5 people) perform 'Somebody That I Used To Know' on one guitar:
