Katy Perry: I Saved Russell Brand From Being a "Prostitute"

When she first met fiance Russell Brand, Katy Perry made quite an impact -- literally.
"I was 25, 30 feet away from him. And I threw the bottle straight at him. Hit him smack dab on the head," she tells the August issue of Esquire. "Can you imagine the horrible feeling he had, when he was used to getting everything he wanted? I was like, 'You've met your match.'"

Perry, 25, says she and Brand, 35, are basically the same person.
"I'm like, 'Oh my God, I am you. You are me,'" she says. "[We are] two divas in one house."

She takes credit for helping Brand, a former drug and sex addict, tame his wild ways.
Says the singer: "He used to basically be a professional prostitute – now he's not. He's an extremist, which can be both good and bad. I always needed someone stronger than me and I am, like, a f****** strong elephant of a woman. I say that hopefully in the humblest way I can."

Us Weekly recently reported the two (who got engaged in India last New Year's Eve) will return to the county to wed in October.
"It will be a traditional Indian ceremony," says the insider, adding that Rihanna will even be a bridesmaid. "[Designer Zuhair Murad] is making all their dresses too."
Tell Us What You Think
54thats goof for katy and all but how do you never feel your just nuber 2,001 like yea there no more after you but like um basiclly your having sex with those 2,000 others as told to me by a doctor
now why share that? yeck
He is one funny guy!
She THINKS she's tamed him. This girl is giving herself WAY too much credit. Live and learn, Sweetie!
I think they are already married according to her Pretty Records website!
they will not last. i just no it.
he looks trashy and dirty.i wonder why she wants him.
She can do soo much better than this looser. He must have some mean sexual diseases if he was supposed to be a prostitute. YUCK!@!!
A former sex addict and druggy. Sounds like a catch to me. She doesn't expect him to be faithful, does she?
those who must employ gimmicks are trying to compensate for a lack of raw talent....her vocal range; limited...she and her music lack depth.....her hair and makeup is "over the top" and she just seems fake.....he probably will cheat on her as soon as the novelty wears off on this relationship......they will split before he experiences his "mid lif crises"
surprised by the nasty comments! I like her, can't stand him BUT I'm not marring him. They make a cute couple and I wish them all the best. Dust off these other a-hole posters! They only WISH they had your bod and your balls and your money! lol
After watching her on Am. Idol you could tell she's a stuck up AHole who thinks she's way more talented than she really is. In a few years no one will care who or what she does. Save your money now sweetie.
Sorry kate but you can do way better than that troll man Russell!!!
Katy Perry is not only uglier than homemade soap, but extremely jealous of anyone more original than her. That's fine that you saved Russell Brand, but who's gonna save us from your dorky pop senseless "music"?
who cares and no one in their right mind would pay this annoying dirtball for anything...lol...she saved him...yeah right...
White trash marrying White Trash..sounds like a marriage made in trailer trash heaven..they are both disgusting if you ask me
katy is so pretty and russell is so... ew.
While I do love her songs, and I think he's hilarious....She sounds extremely full of herself. These celebrities act like they're so much more fascinating than us little people. And I am sorry, but if she thinks she's changed him for good,she's got a rude awakening coming. Sooner or later the passion will wane, as it always does, and they will start seeing each other as normal people who stink up the bathroom and leave skid marks in their underwear...if he truly is an addict then I predict problems down the road for these two. Also, I'm wondering what makes her think that anybody really gives two sh!ts?
Katy...remember that interview you gave on Feb 2001? "Be careful, stay whole, and stay a child, stay young and when you're in the business, don't get jaded, and remember that there is still a God and remember what your motives were when you first started strumming your guitar". Seems like you've forgotten. Was fame and money worth losing your soul?
Christ are you kidding me?
