LOS ANGELES: Russell Brand whisked Katy Perry off on a secret romantic holiday to Thailand after the singer impressed the British comic star by sending him a picture of her breasts.

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 her a love poem with a note attached saying, ‘Please send me a poem back.’”

“Russell couldn’t stop 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”, the source added.

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