Katy Perry and Russell Brand don’t want their wedding to be a “drunk fest of people”.

The couple – who got engaged in December – are planning a “small” but lavish ceremony because they want the occasion to be memorable and all about their love for one another.

She told People magazine: “I think the wedding will be small. I always have a ton of people around me and I think the people that are going to share this moment with us are the people we want to integrate into each other’s lives.

“We don’t necessarily want it to be a drunk fest of people just, you know, one night and then forgetting about it. We want it to be about the love. So sometimes to be about the love, we have to take them out of their comfort zone.”

However, the 25-year-old pop beauty and her 34-year-old fiance – who was known for his womanising ways before he settled down with Katy – will throw “a big, fat reception for the people who can’t make it”.

Since Russell popped the question he has grown increasingly obsessed with the wedding plans and Katy recently revealed he can’t stop buying bridal magazines.

Although the curvy brunette isn’t as sentimental as her future spouse, she does want her wedding dress to have a special meaning and has been discussing ideas with fashion designer John Galliano.

She added: “We have been kind of talking to John Galliano because that was the first fashion show in Paris that we kind of came out as a couple. So if we did Galliano, it would make it full circle.”

Russell Brand narrowly escaped serious injury on the set of his latest film.

The British funnyman was accidentally set alight while shooting a scene for ‘Get Him to the Greek’ – in which he reprises his ‘Forgetting Sarah Marhsall’ role as rocker Aldous Snow.

He explained: “I got set on fire once. There’s a bit in the movie where I do a concert, and there’s a wall of sparks raining down from the heavens. And it caught me on fire. I stood in the wrong place; I caught on fire for a little. That was a bad bit.”

Despite being known for his womanising ways, Russell – who is engaged to singer Katy Perry – hated having to film a sex scene for the movie because it was so “awkward”.

He explained to Tufts Daily website: “Sex scenes are actually sort of stressful. Not like actual sex – not as I know it.

“The threesome scene was really awkward and difficult. Because sex, when it’s done properly, is about creating a wonderful atmosphere of intimacy, escape and adventure. Sex scenes are about hesitant, angular, choreographed moves.

“And this is a comedy sex scene as well, so it goes on for ages, and you’re standing with no pants, hunched over someone. You’re aware of each other’s breath mingling but without the baseline of lust pounding rhythmically through the act. It’s awful.”

Russell Brand’s own embarrassing sexual encounters inspired his new movie.

The British comedian – who has previously battled heroin addiction – reprises his ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ role of troubled rocker Aldous Snow in forthcoming film ‘Get Him To The Greek’ and admits scriptwriters used many of his own experiences for incidents in the film.

He explained: “Because the character is, you know, a heroin addict, and I’m a recovering heroin addict… a really good friend of mine who used to make um, heroin for me, and he didn’t ever want to, which is not nice, to buy heroin, and there’s like scenes in this where I force someone – a reference from my own life.

“Once during a threesome I accidentally ejaculated onto a friend’s leg, and that’s being used in this. So yeah, there are direct references to my own life in this film. Flatteringly.”

Because so many of his own experiences feature in the movie, Russell – who is engaged to Katy Perry – says it has made him rethink plans for a big screen version of his autobiography ‘My Booky Wook’.

He told website JoBlo.com: “Nick Stoller’s sort of stolen all the best bits. If they were to make a movie of my life now, it would be a drab, Warholian, sort of single-shot of me, sobbing in the basin. Which I’m keen to make. So I don’t know if we’ll do that anymore.”

However, if the biopic goes ahead, Russell wants a woman to portray him – actress Natalie Portman.

He added: “Michael Winterbottom was interested in making it and I was of course flattered and thrilled at the idea of working with him, because he’s brilliant, but I think now I’ve got too old to play myself. Of course I’ve been playing myself for so long, someone else should have a go, and I think Natalie Portman is the man for the job.”

The British funnyman – who is known for his long, dark, backcombed locks – has vowed to have his curls chopped off so he can work on a wider range of movies.

He said: “I can’t keep always playing long-haired, scruffy men, otherwise my career would be limited.”

The 34-year-old actor – whose movie roles have previously included outspoken rocker Aldous Snow in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and drug producer Flash Harry in ‘St Trinian’s’ – has decided to have a style change to help him fulfil his dream role, as France’s post-revolutionary military dictator Napoleon Bonaparte.

He quipped: ”I was hoping one day to play Napoleon, but I can’t play Napoleon as this shaggy-haired, bearded raconteur.

”But I did also want to play Rasputin, the monk,  so that’ll be good, I can look like this.”

Russell recently admitted he would be paying his hairdresser a visit ahead for his new movie ‘Arthur’, a remake of the famous Dudley Moore movie, and says he is “ready” for a different look.

He said: Arthur is still an alcoholic billionaire playboy and I’ll be getting a bit of a haircut for that. You have to move on. I have dreams of my hair being short and I wake up in a Samson-like panic, but I think I’m ready for transformation.”
