Russell Brand Steps Out With Rumoured Girlfriend Oriela Medellin As Katy Perry Parties At Oscars

Sadly, it looks like Katy Perry and Russell Brand have well and truly moved on from each other.

While his ex-wife Katy was letting her hair down in the company of a new man (admittedly he was Elton John's 14 month-old son, but that's by-the-by), Russell was stepping out with the new woman in his life.

The comic has been snapped with his rumoured new girlfriend Oriela Medellin for the first time, as they did a bit of shopping in West Hollywood yesterday.

Now, we realise this is pretty big news, so why is it taking us everything we have not to just rant on about the ridiculousness of Russell's leg warmers?

Anyway, it is a pretty bold move for Russ, who shunned all of last night's Oscars festivities to stay in the company of the new brunette in his life.

It was first reported the pair were dating earlier this month, only two months after Russell's marriage to Katy ended, citing "irreconcilable differences".

They were thought to have met at yoga classes, but artist Oriela previously told papers she was "not comfortable" commenting on what was going on between her and Russell.

He's just a degenerate!

Ridiculousness. Him getting married. Him with a 'new girlfriend'. He is temporary. He'll never stay with anyone. Talk about 'issues'!

He's a f**kin disgrace.

I don't get it - what do these girls see in him? Whatever it is, I don't see it. Must be the money! I'd never walk down the street with a guy wearing those pants! I could see my Dads face if I brought him home...hmmm, that might be fun :D ... but that's the only reason I'd be seen with him.

I don't think Katie Perry needs or wants his money.
10:15 PM on 02/29/2012
I don't think she wants his money either - I love Katy Perry...I'm just saying, If he had no money, would Katy or any other girl even give him the time of day?

Russ, come on man, if your gonna do the walk of shame, please wear your own cloths!

Who cares? But one wishes him like any other human the best in life. Is it not admirable how capricious celebrities, fickle about 'love' move on so quickly? I find it even more mind boggling how there is always a long que of those who are willing to be used immediately as tissue paper, Kleenex for 'teary' eyes. Best advice would be, do some soul searching that way when you have truly understood what you want or are looking for, your future relationships stand a chance. I have never liked comedy sprinkled with insensitive comments or vulgarity, so I will pass on this new development.
But I care less for both Brand's or Katy's broken hearts, they can cope with it, after all to succeed as they both have, they both are mighty tough nuts to crack.
Katy seems to be doing just fine, from the reported level of partying with pal Riri, so why should Brand not move on? In any case from his reputation why did the preachers daughter wed him? One useful thing others could well learn from the BK pairing they definitely added to each others lives while it lasted, enviable truth is they both (Katy and Brand) grew richer after they paired up, one even rekindling a career that was faltering, and most admirable when they split up they both went their way without bickering about cash.

He is a freak, but he has got money and therefore has the girl.

What the hell is he wearing on his legs?

Why is he wearing her leg warmers or leggings or what ever those ridiculous things are. For her to be been seen with him makes her seem so desperate.

Desperate much, Russell?! Geez, at least wait for the ink to dry on your divorce papers...

Those two aren't going to last because rebound relationships rarely work.

She may not want anyone to recognise her being with him.
