Katy Perry Reacts (Proudly) to Russell Brand's Arrest

Score one for chivalry! In a tweet last night (that she tagged #dontf--kwiththeBrands) pop star Katy Perry did not mince words:

"If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiance will do his job & protect me."

Russell Brand was arrested Friday after a scuffle with a photographer at Delta Airlines security inside Los Angeles International Airport, where the engaged couple was allegedly being tailed by overzealous paparazzi. Brand reportedly lost his cool and came to blows with a few of the shutterbugs, one of whom made a citizen's arrest. LAX police then made it official.

A suspicion of battery charge followed, and after being booked, the 35-year-old British funnyman (on a break from shooting a bawdy remake of the 1981 comedy 'Arthur' with Jennifer Garner and Dame Helen Mirren) was released on his own recognizance. The couple were originally headed to Las Vegas on a Delta flight they failed to catch. Brand is due in court on Oct. 15.

Earlier in the week, Perry and Brand celebrated the one-year anniversary of the night they met at 2009's MTV Video Music Awards; the jet-setting duo became engaged New Year's Eve while traveling in India. Gushing about his famous fiancee, Brand recently told Entertainment Tonight, 'I've been poor and I've lived without love, and now I have some money and I have love, and the most important thing is love.'
