Russell, Katy to make sex tape

Russell Brand joked that he and pop-star finacee Katie Perry would definitely make a sex tape together.
Brand, 35, answered in good humour when asked if he and pop-star finacee, 25 might ever work in a movie together. "We''ll do a sex tape! Give them what they want!" People magazine quoted Brand as saying.

"It takes up enough of my time to be in love with her. Negotiating in films is very, very hard. Imagine trying to direct someone you really love - it would be a [expletive] nightmare," Brand said.

"I've found someone who is singularly important to me, so it means compromise, growing up and all the things they tell you in school," he said.

"Love between two people is the most spectacular yet ordinary thing in the world," Brand added.

Church urges couples to pray before sex

Newly-wed Roman Catholic couples are being encouraged to say a special prayer together before having sex.The specially-composed Prayer Before Making Love is aimed at 'purifying their intentions' so the act is not about selfishness or hedonism.It appears in the 64-page Prayer Book for Spouses which has been published by the London-based Catholic Truth Society, reports the Daily Mail.The prayer implores God 'to place within us love that truly gives, tenderness that truly unites, self-offering that tells the truth and does not deceive, forgiveness that truly receives, loving physical union that welcomes'.It adds, "Open our hearts to you, to each other and to the goodness of your will."The group has close links to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.The Rt Rev Paul Hendricks, who is the Auxiliary Bishop of Southwark and sits on the charity's board, said he thought the prayer's inclusion was 'brave but good'."I suppose it is a bit idealistic but it is recognising that God is at the heart of the marriage relationship between husband and wife," he said."It is important for the Church to affirm the value of marriage and family life and I suppose this is a particular way of doing that."The book contains prayers for every stage of marriage and family life, including engagement, planning for parenthood, pregnancy and caring for children and elderly parents.
