Although they didn't book a date yet, Katy Perry and Russell Brand are taking a vacation, not to the beach or a private resort....they are going to outer space! Katy bought Russell a seat on one of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic space tourism flights and is planning to go with him. She told MTV News about Russell's special 35th birthday gift. Katy said, "I'm so into extraterrestrial stuff. . . It's very difficult for me to look up into the sky in the middle of the night and not think that our planet is one of. . . a bajillion. It's really, really small. And Russell and I are interested in anything extraterrestrial." Must be nice, to spend $$ on a trip to OUTER SPACE.
