It`s no secret that Russell Brand has been dating pop sensation Katy Perry for several months now. Well, looks like their romance may be heating up, because Brand has been spotted out shopping for an engagement ring says News of the World.

Although News of the World isn`t always the most reliable source of news out there, there are picture of Brand looking at engagement rings. The notorious ladies man may be ready to tie the knot – perhaps over Christmas?

The store manager confirms that Brand is looking for something "special" for his lady. "His face lit up when he saw this one diamond ring. He put it on his hand and he just gazed at it for ages, deep in contemplation," he says.

Even though pictures show the comedian looking at diamond rings, there is no word yet on whether he made any purchase.
 
Brand has repeatedly told the media that he was head over heels in love with Kate, even hinting that he was having very serious thoughts about their future: "She`s the one. I`m a one-woman gentleman now. She`s really funny and gorgeous. We`re having a lot of fun."

Brand has been dating Perry since October, after they met at the MTV Video Music Awards function.
