Russell Brand and Katy Perry are an item

According to tabloid reports comedian Russell Brand is a changed man after falling head over heels for pop star Katy Perry. In a recent interview the notorious womaniser initially refused to comment on his fledgling romance however after a little pressing he revealed “I think I’m in love.”

The pair initially got together at the MTV Music Video Awards and were spotted looking very cosy at an after show party. After exchanging numbers and indulging in some text flirting the smitten couple decided to spend some time away from the glare of the public eye and jetted off on a 7 day holiday to Thailand last month.

Russell apparently had his eye on Katy for some time with a friend revealing he had a serious crush on her and was “like an excited schoolboy after they got together.” The source went on to say that Russell thinks Katy is his ideal partner and is even “prepared to stop seeing girls.”

The cat was officially out of the bag after the 24-year-old singer was pictured leaving the comedian’s house in London the morning after attending a showbiz party together at Jonathan Ross’s house. However it was a flying visit as the songstress was seen a few days later at Paris Fashion Week alongside fellow US pop star, Rihanna.

According to sources close to Katy she doesn’t see Russell’s womanising track record as an issue and is said to be “keen to make a go of it.”
