KATY Perry found out Russell Brand was going to propose to her through Google alerts.

The I Kissed A Girl singer — who got engaged to the British funnyman over the New Year — discovered the proposal was imminent after reading about Russell shopping for a ring on the internet search engine.

“Unfortunately,” said Katy, “I still Google myself sometimes, I saw it on Google alerts. I’m going to be honest!”

Russell admitted, “I was buying rings.”

Despite having the inkling that Russell was going to propose, Katy was stunned when the 34-year-old comedian made his grand gesture while they were holidaying in India.

“There was an elephant involved,” said Russ. “We were on an elephant just before it.

“We were in India, It was at midnight, and it is not a good idea to be on the back of an elephant during a fireworks display.”

“They can’t tell the difference between an apocalypse and New Year’s Eve,” Katy added.

The couple attended an exclusive pre-Grammy Awards party in Los Angeles Sunday night, and Russell was in a mischievous mood.

Joking about cocaine, former drug addict Russell said, “Grammys. I know why it’s called that. That’s how much coke you need to cope with it.”

Upon hearing this, Katy got upset and told him, “Stop it and behave! I don’t want to upset the Grammys, I want one.”

The Salute To Icons event was held to celebrate the work of Universal boss Doug Morris before the Grammys ceremony.
