Katy Perry is Engaged!

We don’t want to be accused of being the class gossips or anything, but People Magazine and (UK) Sun Bizarre Editor Gordon Smart have confirmed that that Katy Perry and funny man Russell Brand are indeed engaged!

Apparently, Brand popped the question at midnight on New Year’s Eve while the two were being blessed by an Indian “love guru” in a tent at the foot of a Jaipur mountain. Beautiful!

Congrats, Katy & Russell!
