Russell Brand has reportedly set his sights on a New Girl : Katy Perry lookalike Zooey Deschanel.

The 36-year-old comedian has apparently been sending flirty texts to the actress, months after he announced his divorce from singer Katy.

A source told America's OK! magazine: "Russell has had his eye on Zooey for a long time. And he's been sending funny, flirty texts to see if they can get together.

Zooey, star of TV series New Girl and films Elf and Yes Man, has also recently filed for divorce from her husband Ben Gibbard.

The source added: "He thinks she's hysterically funny and cute, too. He loves her quirky sense of humour, and thinks they'd be great together both on-and off-screen. There's a real spark there."

Latest celeb supercouple anyone?

Just my opinion, but the guy is so ugly. I have honestly look and just can find anything attractive about him. Also long hair on him doesn't help. Just my opinion people. :)

This awful fellow reminds me of the old system in Hollywood where they encouraged non heteros to marry for public relations,surely this bloke bats for the other side? he just ain't manly.....

Why does this drivel make it on here?,this isn't World saving news,if he wasn't a celeb, i use this term sparingly, he'd still be a second rate comic actor,yes, he's gone through a lot in his adult life,but it doesn't excuse him from some of the silly things he's said and done.

How can they refer to Brand as a comedian, it's like calling Madonna an actress!. I hope Zooey sees this for what it is, a guy clearly not over the break up of his marriage and on the rebound, I thought Brand and Perry where perfect for eachother, they're both tw@ts.

Katy Perry lookalike Zooey Deschanel? On what planet? Zooey is a very attractive & talented actress. Katy is not. Lets hope Zooey, unlike Katy, has half a brain and stays well away from Brand.

This guy doesn't irritate me as much as he used to. This woman looks similar but maybe he just has a specific type now, or maybe he just wanted a Katy Perry that didn't come with religious weirdos as parents. Apparently he couldn't refrain from taking the p*** out of them, neither would I in his shoes.

What do women see in this hairy beast ? It doesn't take long before his culture comes through. Beauty and the Beast ?

I forget to mention it, but I would also have about five pints of draught bass with my vindaloo.

I think Russell Brand makes decisions in his life based on what will fill another chapter in the next installment of his autobiography.

All Brand needs is a morror to admire the person he loves most.

We will remember that the next time you spell something wrong. . We're talking about Brand & K. Not who can spell the best. Maybe he or she has Dyslexia or Maybe English is their second language. Or maybe they were in a hurry anyway Please just stop and think before your critise .none of us are perfect .. Thx have a good day

I keep seeing him referred to as a comedian, whats wrong with these people, he would be O.K. as the backend of a pantomime horse and if I could be the front end I'd have a chicken vindaloo before we went on stage.

Know what you mean. I have had a barrage of abuse from two posters today because I don't agree with their comments but they have allowed them to slander me all day. I put one comment and its deleted.
Changing broadband server on tuesday, bye AOL and Huff.

Usually if you put in loads of spelling mistakes or forget to proof read they let you through the censors pretty easy.
