Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been dating for more than two months – and I’m counting from the time Katy sent Russell topless photos of herself. That’s a good starting point, yes? Anyway, this two-month relationship is a record for someone once named the “Bizarre Shagger of the Year” (long story). In any case, Brand had a reputation as quite a love ‘em and leave ‘em lothario, always with a pretty girl, just never the same girl. Or three girls. Or a dozen. Paparazzi caught Russell several times exiting some apartment or hotel, fresh from a threesome with a couple of girls whose names are still unknown. And yet… when he met Katy Perry, he seems to have become a one-woman man instantly. There hasn’t been any reports that Russell has been seeing any other women on the sly, or anything like that. And now Russell has given what can only be described as a sweet, puppy-love, hearts, babies, kittens, sunshine and roses-type interview to Britain’s GMTV:

Russell Brand, family man?

The notorious British lothario, known for being non-committal, may finally be ready to settle down and have kids with pop star girlfriend Katy Perry.

“There was a deep craving within me – I mistook it for lust,” Brand, 34, told the British talk show GMTV. “I thought I was promiscuous, but it turns out I was just thorough – to get the right one. I’m ever so happy.”

And when probed about marriage and children, Brand admitted, “That would be good.”
“I do want to have children,” he said.

He’s already one step closer to the tying the knot. Last week, Brand met his girlfriend’s parents during a trip to Austria, according to People.com. But despite the conventional route their relationship is taking, there’s still a steamy side to their romance. Perry scored major points with her British beau when she wore a corset and underwear emblazed with his favorite soccer team’s logo while hosting the MTV European Music Awards in Berlin last month.

“Wow. Now MY GIRLFRIEND has worn a West Ham basque while hosting the EMAs. What a day!!” Brand twittered.

Damn, now I’m kind of hoping these crazy kids stay together. Katy seems to be working Russell both ways – she’s the kind of girl who will dress up (in public) in a corset and garter, but she’s also got that “I’m secretly a wholesome girl” vibe going on. Russell is the real surprise – I expected him to put up more of a fight. Soon he’ll become one of those guys who “checks in” and “spends Saturdays looking at duvets”. Not that there’s anything wrong with that (there isn’t). I just thought Russell was more hardcore.
