Stupid Celebrity Gift Ideas: Happy Birthday Katy Perry Edition

What do you get for the girl who has everything?  If you think buying gifts for your gal is hard, imagine if she were a celebrity.  You can only buy so many Hummers before the Hummer Room is full and/or you’ve already gone through all the factory colors.  You can only destroy so many island resort penthouses with her in a days-long happy birthday cocaine rage before the other island resorts start to wonder if hosting a celebrity couple is worth replacing all the plasma screens that wind up the Jacuzzi.  You can only pay $36 million upfront to send her up on the shuttle as a space tourist only to have her back out of flight training because the zero-gravity chamber gives her hair split ends, before you start running out of $36 million sums of money.

So give credit to British comedian/VJ/wanker/tosser/cobbler (new British insult for lazy and doltish individuals) Russell Brand, who has procured a most unusual gift for his lady Katy Perry on the occasion of her 25th birthday.  He got her…  

…an animatronic petting zoo.  That he saw in a mall.  She thought the animals were cute.  It costs $33,000.  To hire temporarily.

“She was really taken with the petting zoo temporarily set up next to the Farmer’s Market.

“There are real animals in one section and then this amazing fake menagerie for kids.

“You can milk the cow and ride on the pony. It’s very kitsch and fun.”

Katy said she would love to have a go on everything but didn’t because she didn’t want to be photographed.

The source added: “While she was looking at a goat being unloaded Russell got the contact details of the event organisers.

“He has arranged for the zoo to arrive at Katy’s LA home for her birthday. She will be tickled pink.”

Hey, if you love her, say it with tacky robot petting zoos drenched in the germs of rude mall children.

Note that this gift is perfectly acceptable if Brand is hiring these guys:
