Who's your friend? Russell Brand relaxes poolside with a Katy Perry lookalike as his wife recovers from food poisoning


At first glance, Russell Brand looks like he is having a whale of a time relaxing poolside in Los Angeles with wife Katy Perry.

However, on closer inspection, the lady showing off her figure in a tight black swimsuit is not Katy, but a brunette who looks astonishingly like the Firework singer.

Perhaps Brand's new friend was just keeping him company by the hotel pool in Miami as Katy was struck down with food poisoning over the weekend - so much so that she was forced to reschedule two of her planned concerts.


She later promised: 'I am going to return in a few weeks to give them the very best show ever!'

Brand wore a pair of white patterned swimming shorts as he chilled out with his new friend on Sunday.

But Katy was clearly fully appraised of the situation as later in the day, the couple were seen out together stopping at a fruit stand in Los Angeles.

The pictures of the pair together, a rarity in recent months, are set to dismiss rumours their nine-month marriage it in trouble.

It was even claimed the pair were considering a trial separation in a bid to keep their relationship on the right track.

A source told heat magazine that Katy had confided: 'We're thinking of taking a break from our marriage. I'm worried it could be the end of the road for us.'

However their spokesperson today vigorously denied the claim.

The couple have been plagued with reports their marriage isn't working ever since they tied the knot last October after a whirlwind one year long-distance romance.

Vitamins: The fruit would no doubt have done Katy good, as she was hit with a nasty case of food poisoning over the weekend


But in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine earlier this year, Katy insisted she trusts her husband implicitly, despite his lothario past.

She said: 'There's never a dull moment. He has never lied to me once. I trust him; there’s just a level of trust that we’ve built up.'

However, in an interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories at the beginning of the year, Brand said staying faithful for the rest of his life was a daunting prospect.

He admitted: 'I take it one step at a time - like with drugs, like with alcohol. Don't look at things as in "rest of life".

'Of course marriage is for life and that's what I wanted but anything for the rest of life can be daunting.'

What will Katy say? After his wife adds yet more tour dates, Russell Brand reaches out to a pretty crew member on set

By Daily Mail Reporter


Tactile: Russell Brand can be seen holding the hand of a pretty blonde crew member on set in Miami today


He's known for his tactile manner but Russell Brand will raise more than a few eyebrows with these shots of him holding a pretty girl's hand.

The reformed lothario, 36 , is on set in Miami where he's filming new movie Rock of Ages, and the fair haired maiden is clearly a crew member.

Russell is given to such displays of warm affectionate towards people that such tender gestures largely go unnoticed.


But the fact that the pair of them were holding in hands today in a manner normally reserved for romantic couples is striking.

It comes hot on the heels of news that Brand's wife of eight months, pop sensation Katy Perry, is extending her tour well into November.

A source told the Mail: 'Katy has only four days off until the end of September, when she’s in Brazil.’

Friendly touch: Brand cuddles up to the blonde in a break from filming

Busy schedules: Perry and Brand at the MTV Europe Awards in Madrid last year


‘She hopes Russell will join her but isn’t sure whether he will be allowed entry because of his criminal record. She is taking a few days off for their first anniversary in October which they plan to celebrate in the UK.’


The pair are even have even put their L.A home in trendy Los Feliz on the market, with friends reporting it is empty most of the time.

When Brand delivered his best man's speech at rock legend Noel Gallagher's wedding at the weekend in England, Perry, 26 , was unable to be by his side.

Brand is said to have brought the house down by affectionately lampooning the former Oasis great, and telling stories about his new wife, Sara McDonald.

But there was no chance to relive fond memories of his marriage to Perry on a tiger reserve in India last October.

And with the comedian's commitments on the film - which is being adapted from the Broadway hit and stars Tom Cruise and Catherine Zeta Jones - destined to keep him in Miami for the foreseeable, it could be hard for the newlyweds to spend any quality time together.

But reports of trouble in paradise are unfounded, and it's likely that Brand is just being his usual touchy feely self.

Perry's tour takes her around the US and the UK over the forthcoming months, and Brand is so keen to see her despite their clashing schedules that he even flies with their pet cats.

She told the Daily Star: 'I miss my kitties. One time I asked Russell to bring the cats with him so we could all hang out. Putting a cat on a plane is strange, but I always make sure it’s in first class.'

Katy Perry: "I Didn't Have a Childhood"

Katy Perry is a pop icon these days -- but growing up the child of born-again evangelical-ministers, the "E.T." singer had zero access to much of the "real" secular world.

"I didn't have a childhood," Perry, 26, tells the new Vanity Fair, noting that her mom forbade her from reading any books except the Bible -- and that words like "deviled eggs" or "Dirt Devil" were verboten.

The platinum-selling star wasn't allowed to listen to pop music, and relied on friends to sneak her CDs.

When Perry became sexually active, she had to secretly visit a Planned Parenthood clinic to get educated about birth control. "It was considered like the abortion clinic...I was always scared I was going to get bombed when I was there," she admits to the magazine. "I didn't know it was more than that, that it was for women and their needs."

But she and her parents have resolved their religious and political differences, she says. "I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up,...Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me. We agree to disagree."

Plus, like any parents, her huge stardom is thrilling to them. "They're excited about [my success]. They're happy that things are going well for their three children and that they're not on drugs. Or in prison."

She and her husband Russell Brand also don't see exactly eye to eye when it comes to spiritual practices. "Russell is into Hinduism, and I'm not [really] involved in it. He meditates in the morning and the evening; I'm starting to do it more because it really centers me. [But] I just let him be him, and he let's me be me," she says.

"[He] never lied to me once. I trust him; there's just a level of trust that we've built up."

Russell Brand and Katy perry to make sex tape

Russell Brand joked that he and pop-star finacee Katie Perry would definitely make a sex tape together.

Brand, 35, answered in good humour when asked if he and pop-star finacee, 25 might ever work in a movie together. "We''ll do a sex tape! Give them what they want!" People magazine quoted Brand as saying.

"It takes up enough of my time to be in love with her. Negotiating in films is very, very hard. Imagine trying to direct someone you really love - it would be a [expletive] nightmare," Brand said.

"I've found someone who is singularly important to me, so it means compromise, growing up and all the things they tell you in school," he said.

"Love between two people is the most spectacular yet ordinary thing in the world," Brand added.

Brand Gatecrashes Wedding on His Bachelor Party

Brand Gatecrashes Wedding on His Bachelor Party

Russell Brand prepared for his forthcoming wedding to Katy Perry during his bachelor party last weekend (26Sep10) - by gatecrashing an Indian marriage ceremony.


The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star, who proposed to the singer during atrip to India, was celebrating his last weeks as a single man with rocker Noel Gallagher and comic David Walliams at The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire, England.


And after realising he was sharing the venue with an Indian wedding party, he joined in the festivities, posing for snaps with guests and dancing before he was hoisted onto the shoulders of a young reveller - much to the annoyance of the groom.


But Russell just kept on dancing. A party-goer tells Britain's News of the World, "Russell completely took over and was dancing away at the reception. The groom wasn't very happyabout the fact that the spotlight had been taken away from him and his new bride. "He went over to the DJ who was playing English tunes and asked him to change the music to more Asian music in a bid to get Russell to stop dancing.

Russell Brand had a sex team to help him choose girl

Funnyman Russell Brand has revealed that he had a sex team, who searched girls for him, when he was at his promiscuous best. The Englishman said that the group followed his specific instructions, when looking for a woman.

"When I was at my most promiscuous, I was like a charging locomotive. My selection process was outsourced,” the Sun quoted him, as telling Playboy magazine. He added: "I had a team of experts who took care of finding women for me. They had very specific instructions. It was as if I was talking to a wine steward - I'm looking for something French, a bit fruity, smells of oak.”

However, Brand, who is now dating singer Katy Perry, insists he is a changed man. He said: "I've reached a point in my life where I understand empirically that this is not the answer. When you sleep with loads of women, it becomes a bit pointless and futile."

Also, he dismissed suggestions that he had a gala time in sex rehab. He said: "The majority of people in sex rehab are just disgusting men. There aren't hot blondes ripping off their clothes and saying, I'm gorgeous, and I just can't get enough! It's just sleazy men pleasuring themselves in dark corners. Let's not shy away from it: they're paedophiles and perverts. I'm sorry if I burst your bubble and took some of the magic out of it."
