Jimmy Fallon As Russell Brand Reads 'Us Weekly,' Blasts Divorce Story Photos (VIDEO)

When the news broke that Russell Brand and Katy Perry would be calling it quits, celebrity tabloids such as Us Weekly had a field day speculating over what went wrong. And while there's no doubt that readers ate up the salacious stories, you have to wonder what the actual couple thought of it all.

Thanks to Jimmy Fallon's spot-on Russell Brand impression, on Friday night's "Late Night" we got an idea of what Brand might say about the Us Weekly cover referring to him as a "crazy person."

As Brand flips through the magazine, he notices that the pictures the editors chose largely favor Perry. Where she looks classy and composed, he looks like "a 'Game Of Thrones' character who shops at J. Crew." Where she looks dashing and sane, he looks like "a hipster version of Ebenezer Scrooge."

Watch the full bit above (or click here to watch on NBC.com) and hear Fallon-as-Brand comment on the other stories in the tabloid, including Justin Timberlake's engagement and who the REAL "Bachelor" should be.

When the world slips you a Jeffrey, stroke the furry wall...

His tonation sounds a little more like himself still than Brand at points, but other than that, the cadence, gestures, and Brandie-wandie content they nailed.

Don't ask us, we've got nothing to do with that. I have often wished for a "contact us" tab here to post such questions to someone who can actually do something about it.

Russell Brand - sounds like a make of condom - when you use it, it sounds like making love in a pile of autumn leaves.

He really does have an incredible knack for mimicking others...It is not only the voice but the mannerisms too...

Have you ever noticed that Brand's speech patterns are eerily similar to Ricky Gervais?

One of the funniest people on the planet. Jimmy Fallon, that is.....not Russell Brand.

I hated him, no that's not right, I was utterly indifferent to him on SNL, but on his own show his bits have become some of my favorites. It's as though he was liberated to be funny.

Wow that was pretty good, he does a pretty good brand impersonation.

Jimmy is so funny! Adore him! On a serious note, I feel bad for Russell. It seems to me that he probably loved Katy more than she loved him. Just seems to me that her parents and career was in the way of their relationship. Of course, his roaming eye didn't help matters either.

If you marry a self-avowed "sex addict", better keep your career going!

I could watch Jimmy's impersonations of celebrities endlessly. The guy has more talent than most of the celebs he impersonates.

Russell needs to steal that material for his act. Seriously.
