Katy Perry won over Russell Brand by throwing a bottle at his head.

The 'I Kissed a Girl' singer has revealed how she went to great lengths to grab to attention of the British funnyman - who she is now engaged to - when they first met at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York last year.

She said:"I was probably 25, 30 feet away from him. And I threw a bottle straight at him - hit him smack in the head. I was like, 'You've met your match, mother f**ker'."

The pair spent the evening chatting before heading off to a club together.

However the 25-year-old beauty refused to spend the night with him and asked him to take her on a proper date the following evening.

Before they met, Russell was known for his womanising ways and Katy admits it was hard for her fiance to cope with not being allowed to take her to bed straight away.

She told Esquire magazine as she posed topless for their latest issue: "Can you imagine the horrible feeling he had when he was used to getting everything he wanted."
