It’s good to see that even celebrities aren’t immune from the tenacity of a jobsworth parking attendant.

And it was quite ingenious of Katy Perry to use the situation as an opportunity to show off her expensive new piece of bling.

The pop star found herself slapped with a fine after illegally parking her shiny black Audi on the street as she and fiance Russell Brand stopped for coffee in Los Angeles yesterday.

And as she whipped off the parking ticket from under her windscreen wiper, she couldn’t resist flashing her Cartier engagement ring for all the world to see.

The morning after their night out at a charity gala at the Beverly Hills Hilton on Saturday, Katy, 25, and Russell, 34, went for a caffeine fix at the Intelligentsia Cafe in the trendy Silver Lake district of the city yesterday.

And despite being one of the most talked-about couples at the moment, the pair didn’t abuse their celebrity status and queued for a table just like everyone else.

After staying for coffee, they bought some pastries to take away and went for a stroll around the neighbourhood, before returning to Katy’s car and the ominuous ticket.

But it will probably take more than a parking fine to dampen this the good mood of this couple, who have had loved-up smiles on their faces since they announced their engagement just after the New Year.

Katy showed off her betrothed to the Hollywood jet-set on Saturday night at the The Art of Elysium’s 3rd Annual Black Tie Charity Gala ‘Heaven’ where, at one stage, she sat on his lap for the cameras.

And it was revealed today that love was brewing in the air between them when they first met in 2008 on the set of his latest film Get Him To The Greek.

The movie, which is due for release this June, is the sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and sees Russell reprise his role as British rock star Aldous Snow.

Katy filmed a cameo scene as herself for the film in which she had to kiss Russell – who tricked her into thinking the cameras were rolling.

In September 2008, a year before they started dating, Russell interviewed Katy on his former Talksport show, which he presented with former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher.

And he admitted to her that when they filmed their kissing scene, he told her a hidden camera crew were filming it when they weren’t.

But Katy, who was still dating Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy at the time, confessed in a later interview that kissing her future fiance left her feeling very happy.

She said: ‘My scene called for me to make out with him. And on the way down the stairs after the scene, I was hopping like a bunny. I hop like a bunny when I’m happy – I get a bit childlike.’

Russell Brand and Katy Perry are set to marry within months.

The couple – who have been dating since September and got engaged over New Year – have shocked friends by revealing their wedding plans are already well underway and have asked pals to keep dates free for the nuptials.

Russell, 34, has reportedly already asked his manager, Nik Linnen, to be his best man and told him to start preparing a speech.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Russell caught everyone off guard with the engagement. They’ve decided they won’t be messing about and have already made plans for the big day.”

Katy’s strictly religious father Keith Hudson has also given former his blessing to the couple’s wedding plans, saying he is “happy” with the news.

Further details of Russell’s meticulously planned romantic proposal on New Year’s Eve in the Indian city of Jaipur – also known as the Pink City – have also been revealed.

First the comedian prepared by taking Katy, 25, to one of the city’s ancient forts, where he bought her a £600 traditional Indian dress to wear, before they headed back to the luxurious Taj Rambagh palace hotel, where he had further surprises in store.

As source at the hotel explained: “He had organised a special dining experience. We set a table in a garden with candles everywhere. They arrived in a horse and carriage with a glass of champagne and we served them dinner.

“At midnight they enjoyed fireworks while sitting on an elephant, which Mr. Brand specially requested. Then they were taken to the Mughal Garden – which was decorated by flowers and candlelight.

“Mr. Brand had given his butler the diamond ring to hide among the flowers. Miss Perry found it, he proposed, and she immediately said ‘Yes’.

“After that they requested 45 minutes’ privacy. They looked like they were beautifully in love.”

The couple were in India for a Christmas holiday, a present from Russell to Katy, and they have since moved on to Thailand to celebrate their engagement.

Katy Perry celebrated her 25th birthday with a Willy Wonka-styled party on Saturday (24.10.09).

The ‘Hot N Cold’ singer held the bash at The Sunset Beach nightspot in Los Angeles and guests at the party - who had been told to wear white - were left covered head-to-toe in paint.

One said: “They got a little crazy with the paint. I wasn’t expecting it but everyone got painted - even Taylor Swift!”

The birthday girl arrived at the party - which had Oompah Loompahs running around and a huge variety of candy and chocolate inspired by the sweet maker’s workshop from Roald Dahl’s classic tale, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ - and guests say they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

One reveller said: “They were totally loved up! Katy was having a ball and Russell was catering to her every whim. At one point he was down on his knees bowing and offering her a huge swirly lollipop. She grabbed it from his hands and pretended to knight him with it.”

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was among the guests and insists Katy’s hospitality didn’t disappoint.

He said: “Dinner included lots of yumminess, especially some deelish yellow and green mashed potatoes - and there were so many sweets downstairs for dessert that we’re surprised we didn’t go into a food coma.”

Katy Perry is going to be a guest judge on American Idol and if you think she is going to be the reincarnation of Paula Abdul she says that just isn’t so. She says she wants to be a slightly nicer version of Simon Cowell.

“I might become a little bit of a buddy with Simon, because whenever I watch that show, as much as he’s an a**hole, he’s a very truthful, honest a**hole.”

“I’m not there to build them up. It’s weird, because I don’t want to break their hearts, but everyone knows someone who’s been doing karaoke and doing little gigs here and there, and nobody has told them that they can’t sing on pitch for, like, 15 years?”

Yes, but you see she is going to be a judge during the auditions right? I think all the judges pretty much crush the dreams of people at that point. One of the best reasons to watch the auditions is there are always a group of people who say they have been told how good they are and they expect the judges to agree. When the judges don’t agree is when you get the rants and the people who are going to go on with their dreams regardless. I don’t think there is anything new about that. Even Paula would tell someone when they sucked, she would just do it in a nicer way or find something positive to say about them.
