When she started dating her now-husband British comedian Russell Brand, Katy Perry swore off meat, in a bid to embrace his lifestyle. She is now no longer a vegan and, as a recent report hints, Russell probably doesn’t even know it.

Brand, voted just recently PETA’s hottest vegetarian of the year, talked Katy into embracing his lifestyle and ditching all meat products.

However, she is no longer resisting her cravings and is tucking into chicken meat and burgers on a regular basis, the Daily Mail says, claiming to have this intel from a very reliable source.

“She gave up eating meat two years ago to keep husband Russell Brand happy but Katy Perry hasn’t been able to stick to her pledge to stay vegetarian,” the British tabloid writes.

“The Firework singer, 26, has secretly been devouring chicken and turkey after a period of abstinence, I can report,” adds the Mail.

It could be that Katy has a hard time breaking the news to Russell, who is such a convinced vegetarian that, even in his wildest, drug-abusing days, he’d resist a burger even if he couldn’t resist shooting up.

An unnamed source says simply that the singer is finding the vegetarian lifestyle too harsh and inappropriate for her.

“Russell has been a veggie for 22 years, but Katy adores meat. She did give it up for a while for Russell’s sake but is finding it a struggle,” says the insider.

Fans must know that Katy also ditched her religious upbringing when she came to Los Angeles in pursuit of fame and a career in music.

The singer was raised by a very strict, religious mother who only allowed religious music to be played in her home and only the Bible for reading.

However, when Katy moved out of the house, she broke free of all of this, which is why fans can now rejoice her music and, just as important, her quirky, colorful and revealing onstage costumes of which her mother disapproves completely.
