KATY Perry is buying Russell Brand a luxury car.

The I Kissed a Girl singer has decided to splash out on the lilac Bentley Brooklands — which is based on the same one The Who’s late drummer Keith Moon used to have — as a surprise Valentine’s Day gift for her British fiance.

“Katy really thought about this,” a source said. “She’s been talking to a specialist dealership in Newport Beach, California, for weeks now, and it’s all starting to come together.

“Originally she was planning to buy him an Aston Martin but changed her mind when he spotted an 007 number plate in West Hollywood. She said James Bond wannabes were tasteless.

“So she asked his friends if he’d like a Bentley and they all said yes.”

However, 34-year-old Russell knows nothing about the plan and thinks they will not be buying gifts for each other.

“Katy has tricked him into thinking they’re not bothering with presents,” said the pal.
