Katy Perry Has Grown To Love Her Curves

Katy Perry is the March Elle cover girl. In the accompanying interview, Katy talks about her over-sized boobs, babies and her husband, Russell Brand.

Here are some excerpts:

On her big boobs: 

“I had these enormous boobs I didn’t know what to do with. I wore minimizers, which are not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder, and all I wanted was to look like Kate Moss…Little did I know these things would come in handy someday.”
On her younger years:
“I was like a square. I was! I’m generally around 130 pounds, which is totally fine for me. But when I was a kid, I was the same height and weighed more like 145.”
On her husband Russell Brand:
“Everything clicked really fast. We kind of instantly got past all the surfacey stuff. And ever since then, there hasn’t been a dull moment.”

On having kids: 

“I want to have kids!” Perry said. “I’m totally fine with saying that. I think some people are … worried it’s going to ruin their career, but I want to live a full life.”

Fave Celebrity Quote: Russell Brand Tells It Like It Is About Kissing Jennifer Garner

Russell Brand is a shoe-in for this month’s funniest celebrity quote, and we’re not even one week into February.

Brand is currently shooting Arthur, a remake of the 1981 Dudley Moore classic along with co-star, Jennifer Garner.
While on set, Brand was interviewed by NextMovie.com about his co-star, Garner and he said: “She’s like a fairy princess. There’s a brand of red-velvet cake, her mouth is made of that. She smashes you in the mouth [in] those kissing scenes. If I was Ben Affleck, man, I’d be pissed off.”
Ben, what do you have to say about that?

Russell Brand Named Cosmo’s “Fun Fearless Male of the Year”

Russell Brand has been named the “Fun Fearless Male of the Year” by Cosmopolitan and, so, he graces the cover of next month’s issue.  In the interview for the cover, Brand talks about marriage to Katy Perry, when he knew he was in love, and his new Cosmo accolade!

On his marriage with Katy Perry:
“It’s amazing! Once you’ve said those things about commitment, you think, Well, it doesn’t matter if we have some disagreement about what should go where in the fridge. You’re married now, so you’ll just have to deal.” 

On when he fell in love:
“Well, she threw a bottle at my head when we first met, and she’s been doing that in some form or another ever since. The woman I fell in love with is constantly evolving and changing. She’s loving and a beautiful person.”

On the most fun and fearless thing he’s ever done:

“It’s pretty wild that I’m going to spend the rest of my life with Katy.”

On his new Cosmo accolade: 

“So long as there’s time, I’d like to be the fun and fearless male of that time. … Fun and fearless are what are going to define the upcoming decade for me.”

Russell Brand Tweets Pic Of Katy Perry With No Makeup – Quickly Deletes

OOPS! Russell Brand may have committed a cardinal sin – He Tweeted an unflattering photo of his otherwise always gorgeous in public, always meticulously dressed and dolled up wife, Katy Perry.

The photo (on the left) appears to have been taken when Perry had just woken up to a camera aimed at her pillow. She’s seen with a horrified look on her face, without a lick of makeup.

Brand quickly deleted the photo from his Twitter account but not before it had already leaked to the media. Let’s just hope for Brand’s sake that Perry is the forgiving kind.

Katy Perry Wants To Be Called Mrs. Russell Brand

You may soon be calling her, “Mrs. Katy Brand.” Currently known as Katy Perry, the songstress chatted with Ellen DeGeneres on Ellen’s daytime talk show Wednesday about how she has already begun the process to legally take her new husband’s name. You know, that funny guy Russell Brand.

When asked if she already gets called “Mrs. Brand” Katy admitted: “I do actually!”
Katy continued: “When people try to get my attention, like if I’m at an event or something like that, and they want special attention, they go, ‘Mrs. Brand!’ And I go shwoosh!” 

When Ellen asked Katy about married life with her new husband, Katy said: “There is never a dull moment. A sense of humor is really important in our household. That’s how we de-stress and we like to have a laugh.”

Katy Perry Says Russell Brand Is A Man Of God And She Is A Freak In Bed

Russell Brand is pretty funny. We knew that already. But apparently, he is much more than that if you listen to his new not-so-blushing but utterly gushing wife, Katy Perry.  
Perry told Harper’s Bazaar: “I always knew I wanted a great man of God...Someone who’s an inspiration for people and also a lovely husband and father.” Perry continued: “We’re at different places in our lives, but we can still grow together.”
“I also definitely wanted to have a laugh. I have all that in him.” 
So, of course, a man of God needs a freak in bed, and that is exactly who he has in Perry. Perry recently told Now Magazine: “Like Ludacris raps, ‘I’m a lady in the street and a freak in the bed.  If you ask Russell I’m sure he’d give me a 10 out of 10.”
Sounds like a match made in heaven! LOVE IT!

Russell Brand Tweets “Erotic Literature” Photo To Promote Autobiography

Russell Brand is a genius at marketing. To promote his book, Booky Wook 2, Brand stripped off and posed provocatively with his masterpiece. And a banana.

The comedian posted the naked photograph of himself on Twitter, with only the strategically placed book to cover his manhood.

Booky Wook 2: This Time It’s Personal is Brand’s second autobiography.

Underneath his Twitter photograph, Brand wrote: “Erotic literature?”  Wonder what happened to the book after the photo was taken? Brand later tweeted to a fan: “That copy was destroyed for hygiene reasons.”

Here is the full Photo:
