Katy Perry looking for Big Apple home

Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been house-hunting in New York.

The couple - who already have properties in London and Los Angeles - were seen at an open house viewing of a two-bedroom apartment in the Alphabet City area of the East Village yesterday (11.04.10).

According to a source, who was also looking at the property, the couple were "dressed like they hadn't changed since going out the night before" and the 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' actor broke property-viewing etiquette by asking if he could use the bathroom.

Katy's friend Rihanna recently revealed the pair - who got engaged while holidaying in India in December - will be returning to the country for their wedding.

Speaking about planning her pal's pre-wedding party, she said: "She put that on me last week. I have to come up with something cool because she's getting married in India so I'm like, 'OK, now what do I do to match that?' "

It has also been claimed that Katy is planning to wear a revealing stomach-bearing wedding gown.

A source said recently: "Katy knows her toned torso is her best feature, so she wants to show it off. She's also more than aware that her wedding photos will be seen the world over, so she knows her look needs to stand out. From the back, she wants to look like a traditional bride, with a very long train, but from the front, she wants a Vegas-style sequined number with exposed skin."
