Katy Perry is secretly kissing Russell Brand - and she likes it.

The “Hot N Cold” singer was whisked away to Thailand on a romantic break with the presenter after impressing him with a picture of her breasts after they met at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. A source said:

“When they were both in New York for the music awards Russell finally got his chance to work his charm on her. Katy knows his bad boy reputation but could not resist - especially when Russell sent a love poem with a note attached saying, ‘Please send me a poem back.’ Russell killed himself laughing when Katy sent a photo of her boobs with the word ‘poem’ scrawled across them. The next minute Russell picked up the phone and invited her to Thailand for a secret getaway.”

Friends have warned Katy about the 34-year-old comic’s womanizing ways but she is determined to make the relationship work.

“Despite his reputation, Katy thinks Russell is so charming she just wants to give things a go with him. She thinks he is hilarious and incredibly sexy,” the source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper.

The couple have now returned from their trip, with Katy taking to her Twitter page to gush about the “magical” holiday. Speaking about some of Russell’s favorite stars, she added: “Been schooled on Morrissey, Oscar Wilde and Peter Sellers.” Russell also used Twitter while on holiday, revealing he had been looking at “sexy” statues in Thailand.

Katy and Russell were first romantically linked after the VMA awards when they were seen kissing at Lady Gaga’s after-party at New York nightspot Avenue.
