Singer Katy Perry and British actor Russell Brand are reportedly dating after getting to know each other at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. The two are not trying to keep their new relationship secret since they have already been spotted together and holding hands several times in public.

A source says, “Russell has fancied Katy for ages and was like an excited schoolboy after they got together. He really sees her as an ideal catch and is prepared to stop seeing other girls. He doesn’t want to talk about it yet as he doesn’t want to blow his chances.”

Another source revealed: “She [Katy] knows about Russell’s reputation but finds him really charming and funny. She’s keen to make a go of it.”

Russell is actually taking this relationship very seriously: if he really wants Katy, then no more screwing around. The 34 year-old said “I think I’m in love” and then refused to talk about their wild nights of passion… IT’s LOVE!!!

British comedian Russell Brand was snapped leaving his home in London this morning (April 7). The eccentric 33 year-old wore his trademark super tight-fitting pants (that can’t be healthy!) and be-hold… flip-flops, not to mention his see-through shirt!
