Katy Perry has only been married for a short while to Russell Brand, but she's already talking kids! Although, the plan is in the "very far future."
Perry is sporting hot pink hair on the cover of October's
InStyle magazine. She tells the mag:
“I think if you’re married, it’s often in your future. I think in the future - the very far future - when I have children, I’ll have a more open approach, setting boundaries and showing them what their decisions and choices will breed.â€
As for her hot temper, Katy, 26, adds:
“I’m not going to sit and be steamrolled; I’m going to stand up against things that are unjust. I am full of unicorns and Care Bears 99 percent of the time, but don’t open Pandora’s Box of that other 1 percent - because it’s there!â€

A preview for Taylor Armstrong's
ET interview has been released -- her first interview since estranged husband Russell's suicide about a month ago.
In the interview, which airs Tuesday night, the
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member details abuse by Russell during their marriage, saying:

"He grabbed me by the neck and shoved me up against the wall and he said, 'If you ever make my children a pizza without a vegetable again, I'll kill you.' He would grab me by one side of the hair on my head and bang the other side against the car. He would say to me, 'I’m afraid I’m going to kill you one day.'"
Taylor also details the moment when she and a friend found Russell's body.
"As I was laying in the street screaming I realized that my little girl was there and I had to pull it together to get her out of there," she says through tears.
The Bravo star explained why she did the interview, which has been
criticized by Russell's family due to rumors of what Taylor was
paid for the sit-down.
"He doesn’t need my protection anymore, but there are a lot of women in this world that probably do," she says.
Watch the preview after the jump.

Just tack this one on to his laundry list of accomplishments -- Brad Pitt is one of the few non-athletes to grace the cover of
Sports Illustrated.
The reason he was given this honor? Brad stars in the new movie
Moneyball, which he's long said took a lot of heart, time and money to make.
"I'm a sucker for an underdog story," he told the mag.
The flick is based on the true story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane, who helped reinvent the game of baseball today. But the thing is, the dad of six knows virtually nothing about baseball! Brad admitted:
“It’s shameful how little I know about baseball…. I’m amazed they let me do this movie…. Baseball and I didn’t get along that well. I wrestled one year [in high school]. I dove one year. Everything but baseball.â€
But Brad says the focus is less on baseball and more on Beane's personal story.
“What we were trying to do is tell an unconventional story in the Trojan horse of a conventional baseball movie,†he said.
We can't wait to see the flick and see if we're as into it as the people in Oakland after last night's NorCal premiere.
