Katy Perry and Russell Brand

Katy Perry is said to be planning a church wedding.

The ‘Hot and Cold’ singer has told her British comedian fiance Russel Brand that she wants to marry in a church close to her Los Angeles home, turning down his suggestion of a recording studio at the Sunset Marquis Hotel.

A source told the Daily Mail newspaper, “Russell has been visiting the hotel for years and it is steeed in Rock n Roll history

“It is in the middle of West Hollywood but it has beautiful gardens and you feel like you are in some kind of tranquil paradise.

“Katy was keen but when it was suggested they could have their blessing in one of recording studios she put her foot down.”

Katy’s parents, Mary and Keith Hudson, are Christian pastors and “would be crushed if she didn’t marry in a church,” the source added.

Although his idea was crushed, Russell 34, originally wanted to marry in India, where the couple got engaged (31.12.09) said he wasn’t too upset by the idea and would do anything for Katy, 25 to help her have her dream day.

The source added, “Russell said she can have whatever she wants as long as his mum is there.”

Kings of Leon won double at the Brit Awards this year and have knocked Lily Allen off the top of the album charts.

Their debut album ‘Only By The Night’, which won the group the best international album prize at Wednesday’s ceremony, last topped the charts in autumn and has hovered in the top 10 ever since. The Brits’ boost has sent it shooting to No 1 again leaving Lily’s second album It’s Not Me It’s You in second place.

Lily’s single ‘The Fear’ kept her at the top of the singles chart for the fourth week running although Kings Of Leon, who also won best international group, moved up from 12 to No 3 with the single Use Somebody.

Duffy’s album Rockferry was the best selling album of 2008, and after the Welsh singer took the best album prize at the brits her album went from 19 to No 4 in the charts. Elbow, who won best British group, saw The Seldom Seen Kid shoot up from 23 to No 5.

The Brit’s effect did not only benefit people who had won awards, It was not just the winners who benefited from the Brits’ effect. The Ting Tings, who were nominated for best breakthrough act but lost out to Duffy, saw We Started Nothing move up 25 places from 33 to No 8.

Best international male solo artist nominee Seasick Steve’s album I Started Out With Nothin And I Still Got Most Of It Left went from 24 to No 9. Fleet Foxes, who lost out to Kings Of Leon in the best international group category, moved up one place from 11 to 10.

Katy Perry has denied circulating rumors that she is dating Paris Hilton’s ex Benji Madden, and she has denied these rumors through her online blogs coming straight from the horses mouth! 

The pair were pictured getting very close after Katy’s Valentine’s Day gig at Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Casino on Saturday sparking speculation they were an item. Katy, 24, wrote on her official website: “Oh kittens! It’s two pseudo famous people sitting next to each other… doesn’t mean we were bumping uglies! You know I don’t just do that with anyone! That’s just how the media works, as you can tell. I was there celebrating a really fun show and a boozy valentines with all my good friends. We were like a group of 25!”

“Benji is a nice young fellow, but my heart really belongs to kitty purry/Markus Molinari.”

“I’m in Monte Carlo/Monaco, France right now. I wonder if you can cash in frequent flyer miles for a boyfriend rather than just dinners and gift certificates for Starbucks? ‘How many miles for Brad Pitt, please?’”

Katy broke up with Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes in January and is about to tour Europe, she is known for her quirky and fun sense of style and personality and not taking herself too serious, this is a great image and she pulls it off very well, and this is why people are attracted to her as a person/singer and icon of these times.
