Last week, Us Weekly was the first to report that Katy Perry and Russell Brand got engaged as they vacationed in India. This was later confirmed by both Brand and Perry, to various media outlets. Katy and Russell have only been dating for a few months, having perhaps their first hookup at, during or shortly after the 2009 VMAs last September. Even though it seemed very sudden, my most immediate thought was simply “crazy kids, it won’t last but it will be fun.” It didn’t even occur to me that the engagement was some kind of ode to old-fashioned tradition, because Katy Perry might be knocked up with a little Brand baby! Oh, God:
OK, Katy Perry, now you’ve got us curious.
Either we’re reading too much between the Tweets, or the 25-year-old “Kiss the Girl” singer is sprinkling clues she’s having a baby with new fiancé Russell Brand.
It started with her Jan. 1 message: “Let me tell you 2010 is BUMPIN!” Then on Friday, Perry wrote, “Hey @rustyrockets” – Brand’s Twitter name – “i heard ur prego-ed.” She adds, “I WANT IN AND OUT,” a Southern California hamburger chain, before telling Brand, “I love you … (awwwww barf!).”
Bump, prego, cravings, barf? It was all very cryptic, but then it was only a few days ago that Perry made oblique song lyric references on Twitter – before Brand came out and confirmed they were engaged on New Year’s Eve.

I’ve tried to figure out if Katy and Russell’s tweets are the only “evidence” of a possible pregnancy, and I think that’s what everyone’s basing their stories on. It’s interesting, I guess. I mean, if she is pregnant, God bless. If she isn’t, that’s fine too, no judgment. I doubt either of them will be the best parents in the world, but they won’t be the worst either. It could be a fun experiment for them, I guess. And Katy’s pregnancy could explain why Brand looks so weird lately. In photos of Brand from the past week, he doesn’t really look… thrilled with the turn of events. More like “shell-shocked.”
By the way, Russell and Katy stepped out in London a lot over the past few days, and photographers got some snaps of Katy’s ring. It doesn’t look huge, but it’s pretty. I think it looks like an estate piece, which is nice if Russell picked it out:

I believe I asked that when I first read they were engaged…
*Puts cynicism aside for a few minutes*
I like them together and I wish them well and hope they have a long and successful union.
There is just something completely lovable about both of them.
Okay, maybe I have a bit of a crush on ole Russell…
*hangs head in shame*
I cannot for the life of me see anything attractive, desirable or likable about either of them. Katy Perry is a screechy-voiced, obnoxious, rat-faced attention whore, and Russell Brand is THE most unattractive (and likely STD-ridden) “man” on the planet. They are perfect for each other, mainly because if they’re together then they aren’t spreading their diseases around, but my Lord I hope they don’t breed. I don’t want to see the abomination that will spew forth from Katy’s womb. It might be the end of the world….2012 IS coming!
I actually am not bothered by these two. If they’re happy then I’m for them.
Two words: Big mistake.
I think I read on thus site that Russell brand was out there a few weeks ago talking about how he wanted kids- he was prolly prepping for this to come out. I can’t get over his comment that Americans are all morons- why would she even date him after calling her dumb?
I think they are just trying to make us all scratch our heads. Why in god’s name would she want a baby right now? Her career has really taken off. She seems too immature for a baby anyway. I know I was too at her age.
Annabelle-
He said that? Well, I’m a proud American and I’M smart enough to not screw everything that breathes, so maybe he needs to rethink that statement. I’m also smart enough to not screw that obnoxious Katy…he should handle his own stupid behavior before he goes pointing fingers at others. But nope, he’s just gonna call Americans names since that’s the cool thing to do if you’re a douchey hipster/Hollywood celebtard/liberal/etc. He should also buy a f*cking hairbrush and a razor, he looks like he’d sweat in his sleep and you’d wake up sweaty and covered in random hairs *shudder*. How he’s ever gotten laid is one of life’s greatest mysteries because there is not enough money in the world to make that thing attractive. Now someone please make these attention whores GO AWAY.
I think they’re kinda cute, actually. They seem quite suited to each other, and I wish them well.
Getting pregnant a “fun experiment”? Oh lord.
And ten bucks says that’s her grey cardigan he’s got on. He’s a woman-clothes-wearing dirty dandy.
Its wierd, but for some reason I have nothing to say about them. I think they are happy and seem to be alright for each other.
It’s really refreshing to see how happy these two are together. I wish them the best!
*And to be fair, a lot of people in this country have shown to be morons so I can’t say I disagree entirely – some people who call themselves “Americans” are just an embarrassment to the rest of us. I’m sure England has their share as well, they’re just not usually given as much of a spotlight perhaps..
I think they’re cute together. However her tweets could also mean….
Bumpin = Rockin
Heard UR Prego-ed = The rumors are starting
Want IN AND OUT = Been away from LA craving the burgers
I love you (awwww barf) = Too “Cutsie”
Guess we’ll have to wait and see, it will be apparent soon.
I read that a bit back – that they were actually trying to get pregnant.
*shrugs* if there’s anything to take the fun out of a relationship, they’ve done it. This shouldn’t last long either. Kids and eogmaniacs don’t mix.
He doesn’t look all that happy in that pic.
LOL @ gg “He’s a woman-clothes-wearing dirty dandy.”
Does anyone really get married these days just because of pregnancy? I mean, I know Katie’s parents are very religious, but I think it’s just as likely that Katie and Russel are getting married simply because they’re in love… The pregnancy might just be coincidental. Or it could have given them the push to take the next step. But I sort of doubt it’s the sole reason.
pickelhaube, damn girl, dont leave anything back about how you really feel!
One comment (cause I’m also cool about these two..whatevs…) KP has GREAT hair!!!
If she is preggers, I bet he cheats. She is far more attractive and far wealthier. What a colossal mistake for this young girl.
For some reason I quite like them together. I hope they’re genuine, but who knows.
That dude is FUGLY.
Haha…that is awesome. It definitely makes sense now that he looks like he is pooping his British bloomers in those pictures.
I read his booky-wook, and let’s just say I wouldn’t screw him with… well, Katy Perry’s kit. I hope she got a clean bill of health and had him put through a Silkwood shower, and a bath of Quell.
This is just a very Bad Idea.
