No Wedding Gifts for Brand and Perry

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are not big on tradition.  The couple got engaged in India atop an elephant, and have caused quite few headlines with some of their projected wedding plans.  One of the more outlandish ideas was the couple’s plans for making their dogs the possible ring bearer.  But the most transgressive of all their ideas may be their no-gifts policy.  And yet, Brand explains, “Given that Katy and I both have good jobs, we don’t want any presents.  It would be a massive indulgence.”

Brand’s “Get Him to the Greek co-stars have a few recommendations for him, however.  Nicholas Stoller says that Perry and Brand might need “a waffle maker” and a “really fancy hair dryer”, while Brands other co-star, Kali Hawk, says they might need some “diamond, platinum, titanium-encrusted flat irons.”  Meanwhile, newlywed Elizabeth Moss adds that “you got to invest in the good sheets and towels…Those are things you don’t buy yourself.”  Essentials!

Perry and Brand originally met at the MTV VMA Awards, while Brand was hosting. Apparently Brand shamelessly flirted with Perry and the pair obviously really hit it off.  Since then, the pair have been inseparable, traveling everywhere from Thailand to London to India to Los Angeles.  No wedding date announced yet, but all can expect it to be a perfectly unconventional bash.

Brand and Perry and their Wacky Wedding

Comedian Russell Brand and pop star Katy Perry are almost certain to not have a typical wedding this year. The pair engaged on New Year’s Eve of last year atop an elephant in a private tent in India. It was then that Brand presented Perry with an engagement ring covered in diamonds. But, as elaborate as Brand’s India plans were, Perry is not letting him touch the wedding planning side of things…and Brand seems fine with that.

“If you’re getting married, the girl does it.” When asked if he was at least helping a little, Brand sarcastically scoffed, “No way, man. I’m just looking out the window.”

But it seems that behind-the-scenes Brand may be somewhat of a “bridezilla”, as Perry calls him. “He’s a total bridezilla. He’s like a freak. He’s always buying bride magazines. Everytime we go out for breakfast, he’s like, ‘Can we just stop and get a bride magazine?’” And meanwhile, Perry admits that she can’t quite focus on planning her wedding until she finishes planning her next album. “I have to plan my record first and then I’m going to get to my wedding. But I’m really excited about that, too.”

And even though he’s left out of the wedding plan, Brand still isn’t ruling out Vegas for their wedding location. Brand even joked about a naturist wedding recently. “We are going to do the wedding naked! All the families will be naked!” Brand seems quite the jokester regarding his wedding to Perry. He says he hopes for a possible “Vegas wedding, married by Elvis Presley.” Something tells us Perry might rule that out.

Pery and Russell Welcome a Cat Before Marriage

The hot couple, Katy Perry and Russell Brand, welcomed a cat into their home this weekend. And this wasn’t just any ordinary cat–the pair were calling the cat “Krusty” and accepting it as a “third child”. Perry told Twitter followers she was a cat-lover and happily accepted the feline gift. Both Perry and Brand each have a cat of their own. Hers is named Kitty Purry and his is named Morrisey. The two cats do not get along, so here’s hoping that Krusty can be their peacemaker!

Perry says, “I always have a ton of people around me and I think the people that are going to share this moment with us are the people we want to integrate into each other’s lives.” Is that so? Two big stars and a small wedding? Perry also admits that the pair are planning “a big, fat reception for the people who can’t make it.”

The pair got engaged in India, where Brand proposed to her inside a private tent atop an elephant.  The pair have been inseparable ever since.

Russell Brand a Groom-zilla?

Pop singer Katy Perry seems to think her fiancée, comedian Russell Brand, is a real groom-zilla. The joking British comedian posted a picture of himself on Twitter in full bridal get-up, with a bossy and imperious look. “Bridezilla much?” Perry commented. In the pic, Brand was wearing a white lace gown and veil, but there was no word on whether this was Perry’s actual wedding dress. Many Twitter users have commented they hope it’s not.

A bride or groom-zilla, of course, is a bride or groom who is obsessed with all the details. If you or your fiancée is a real bride-zilla or groom-zilla, then make sure they get you only the best in terms of gowns, floral arrangements and wedding rings.

“He’s like a freak.” Perry told MTV News “He’s always, like, buying bride magazines. Every time we go out for breakfast, he’s like ‘Can we just stop and get a bridal magazine?’”

The pair may not be having an extravagant wedding. In fact, the only thing they know is that they’ll be marrying in India. “We just want it to mean something. It doesn’t matter if it’s just me and him or if it’s a big, fat ordeal.”

Of course, the tabloids are going to want a big fat ordeal because that’ll mean more pictures!
