Katy Kissed a Boy (and She Really Liked It)

posted 11.2.09

It looks like Katy Perry may have tamed the wild, gnarly beast that is Russell Brand. Ever since Katy got together with Russell at the VMAs, we’ve been waiting to see if this random hookup would trainwreck its way into infamy, or actually (shudder to think!) last. Love him or hate him, it seems Russell and our eccentric, darling Katy may be looking at ’til-death-do-us-part. For those of you thinking, “Who the hell is Russell Brand?”, he’s the guy who played obnoxious rocker Alduous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. (You know–the guy who looked like the love child of Tim Burton and an electrical outlet. That one.) And in another example of art imitating life, Russell’s reality is strikingly similar to his on-screen persona; he’s a recovering addict known for his promiscuity and loud-mouthed antics.

As of late, Katy and Russell have been caught around town making out like teenagers in the backseat of Mom’s Prius, and these in flagrante deLexus moments have prompted inquiries into their coupledom. Russell’s now opening up to reporters about his life-changing relationship with Katy and sound-biting about his willingness to settle down; so sayeth Russell, “I have gone weary of the [romantic] carousel.” He’s even discussed his desire to have kids. (So…there’s that.) Since the thought of a Brand baby makes us feel like H1N1 would be the easy way out, Moonit felt a relationship assessment was long overdue. As it turns out, Katy and Russell’s relationship reading is just as strange as their unlikely pairing: “like a blind man at an orgy, you’re going to need to feel this one out before jumping in…When you do decide to give it a go, this will be a really deep relationship that’s firing on all cylinders…it will be emotionally, physically and intellectually demanding.”

Their birth date analysis goes on to say that, “if they’re up for a challenge and can talk things through, they’ll be able to overcome any jealousy, possessiveness and insecurity that comes with this relationship.” Sounds like they’re in for a ton of soul-searching, so Russell’s newfound love of meditation (and his decision to hang up the “Randy Russell” moniker) should do them both a bit of good. Even with all the craziness that’s inevitably in store for them, they’ve got an oddly good chance of making it long-term. Their friendship assessment reveals they could be, “in it for the long haul… the paradigm for friendship is so tight, it’s practically genetic.”
