Katy Perry & Russell Brand close on NYC apartment

Katy Perry might be too bouncy for “Sesame Street,” but she’ll be happy on North Moore Street. Perry and fiancé Russell Brand have just closed on a two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse for $2.7 million, reports The Post’s Andy Wang.

The condo, with a south-facing terrace, is — surprisingly for stars who recently tangled with paparazzi — in a nondoorman building. Sources say that Perry and Brand are calling their 1,500-square-foot apartment their NYC “crash pad” to minimize New York income taxes. Perry debuts on “Saturday Night Live” tonight.
