"When she first met fiance Russell Brand, Katy Perry made quite an impact -- literally.\r\n&amp;quot;I was 25, 30 feet away from him. And I threw the bottle straight at him. Hit him smack dab on the head,&amp;quot; she tells the August issue of Esquire. &amp;quot;Can you imagine the horrible feeling he had, when he was used to getting everything he wanted? I was like, &amp;apos;You&amp;apos;ve met your match.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPerry, 25, says she and Brand, 35, are basically the same person.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m like, &amp;apos;Oh my God, I am you. You are me,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;[We are] two divas in one house.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe takes credit for helping Brand, a former drug and sex addict, tame his wild ways.\r\nSays the singer: &amp;quot;He used to basically be a professional prostitute &amp;#x2013; now he&amp;apos;s not. He&amp;apos;s an extremist, which can be both good and bad. I always needed someone stronger than me and I am, like, a f****** strong elephant of a woman. I say that hopefully in the humblest way I can.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n Us Weekly recently reported the two (who got engaged in India last New Year&amp;apos;s Eve) will return to the county to wed in October.\r\n&amp;quot;It will be a traditional Indian ceremony,&amp;quot; says the insider, adding that Rihanna will even be a bridesmaid. &amp;quot;[Designer Zuhair Murad] is making all their dresses too.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
