"They had a massive fight," an insider tells Us Weekly. "She was like, 'F–k you. I'm going to do my own thing.' Russell replied, 'Fine, f–k you too.'"

Which explains why, come Dec. 25, the multi-platinum singer was snapped splashing in the Pacific Ocean off Kauai — sans wedding ring. Meanwhile, British comic Brand, 36, was catching up with a pal in a pub in chilly Coverack, Cornwall.

Though the pair denied divorce rumors in November, sources say trouble is brewing. "They haven't split up just yet, but things are not good," says the first source. "The fighting is getting worse."

At issue? Among other things, explains another source: "Katy doesn't think Russell respects her parents' Christian beliefs or her friends."

So will the couple — who wed in October 2010 after a whirlwind courtship — make it through 2012? Says the first source, "The split may come soon, but they are both so dramatic and volatile, the relationship could become great again."
