I hope this isn’t true, because it’s not a cool way to bring in the new year, and I won’t be able to keep my first resolution – which is to marry Katy Perry in 010.

Brand, who began dating Perry in September, sparked rumors he would settle down with the singer after he was photographed shopping for a diamond ring at a Cartier jewelry store earlier this month. According to Britain’s Daily Mirror, the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star proposed during Perry’s trip to his native Britain last week.

A source says, “He asked her to marry him last week and she quickly said yes. They don’t know when the wedding will be but they are planning to make it in 2010 if the schedules can work. Russell is searching for a jewelry designer to create a ring in time for the New Year.”
