Katy Perry on Russell Brand: I Found My "Great Man of God"

"California Gurls" singer dishes to Harper's Bazaar about the man in her life and being a tease

Newly betrothed Katy Perry has nothing but praise for her hubby of two weeks, Russell Brand.

The pop star tells December's Harper's Bazaar, "I always knew I wanted a great man of God, someone who was going to be an inspiration for people and also be a lovely husband and father."

The British funnyman was a sex and heroin addict before famously sobering up after he had a spiritual awakening.

Katy gushes on, "We're at different places in our lives, but we can still grow together. He's thought-provoking, articulate, a real advocate," before adding, "I also definitely wanted to have a laugh. I have all that in him."

All the sweet, mushy stuff aside, Katy admits she's not an always an angel. "I'm kind of a good girl—and I'm not.

"I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards."

Will that sexiness change now that she's married (à la Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba)?

We'll have to wait and see.
