Katy Perry is Thai'd up with Russell Brand
By Mark Blunden, London Lite Last updated at 16:28pm on 02.10.09Russell Brand has enjoyed a passionate trip to Thailand after becoming smitten with US pop star Katy Perry.
Cheeky fling: Russell Brand and Katy Perry
The British comic, 34, wooed the I Kissed A Girl singer after they met at last month's MTV Video Music Awards.
Infatuated Brand sent Perry, 24, a poem and begged her: “Please send me a poem back.”
She replied with a cheeky photograph of her chest with the word “poem” scrawled on it.
Lothario Brand then insisted they go on a week-long holiday to Thailand, which Perry later called “magical”.
On the Twitter social networking website, she tweeted: “Been schooled on Morrissey, Oscar Wilde and Peter Sellers.”
A source close to the couple said: “Russell has fancied Katy for ages. She knows his bad boy reputation but could not resist.”
Perry's love life remains complicated as she was supposedly engaged to Gym Class Heroes star Travis McCoy.
