Whoa I didn’t see this one coming!  The Sun newspaper is reporting that Russell Brand and Spice Girl Geri Halliwell are a couple now, ever since spending time together while rehearsing for The Olympics!  I guess Russell has a thing for pop superstars!  A friend of Russell’s said that;

“Things are getting very serious between them – they’re a proper couple now. They had met several times in the past but really got to know each other during the Olympics.

“People thought Russell was joking at the time when he said he had a crush on Geri all over again, but it was true.

“They just clicked – they have so much in common. He is spending so much time in London just to be with her.”

Russell was previously linked to Jordana Brewster’s sister Isabella, but I guess she’s out of the picture now.  This seems like such an odd pairing to me, but then again Russell and Katie Perry seemed like an odd pairing to me too.  As long as they’re happy I guess that’s all that matters.  What do you think of this pairing?
