London, Dec 27 (IANS) Comic actor Russell Brand has finally proposed to Katy ?Perry who is excited about walking down the aisle with him. But the pop princess turned her nose up at the pricey Cartier ring that her beau presented to her.

Mirror.co.uk reports that Brand is now on the hunt for a suitable ring to give her on New Year's Eve.
