Russell Brand almost proposed to Katy Perry on their first date.

The British funnyman was instantly smitten with the 26-year-old singer - who he married in October 2010 - when they first went out together in September 2009 and said his feelings for her were like a "hit of acid" in the way they distorted his perception.

Russell Brand wants to crash the royal wedding disguised as Queen Elizabeth.

Although the madcap comedian hasn't been invited to the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey on April 29, he plans to attend dressed as the 84-year-old British monarch.

Russell Brand does more gardening than lovemaking since he got married.

The British actor-and-comedian - who tied the knot with Katy Perry in India last October - claims at the height of his womanizing he would have sex up to 20 times a week, but since settling down he has turned his attention to tending to flower beds instead of messing up real beds.

Katy Perry is obsessed with cats.

The 'California Gurls' singer and her husband Russell Brand own three moggies, Kitty Purry, Morrissey - who gets his moniker from the former Smiths frontman of the same name - and Krusty, which is a combination of the pop star's name and the comedian's nickname 'Rusty', and admits she loves her feline friends as much as anything else in her life.

Nicole Scherzinger has been signed up to host the US version of 'The X Factor'.

Simon Cowell has reportedly signed up the former Pussycat Dolls singer - who is managed by his rival, 'American Idol' boss Simon Fuller - to present the show after negotiating a deal with Nicole's American label CAA to ensure she has a clear schedule when the series launches later in the year.

Simon Cowell believes it is important to have American judges on the US 'X Factor'.

The music mogul - who is launching his pop star search competition in the states this year - admitted he is worried his knowledge of the US music industry is not extensive and he is happy to get as much help as he can from those who are more informed than he is.
