Is Russell Brand Already Back to His Old Tricks?

And of course by “back to his old tricks,” I mean “back to sexing up several women a day.” So yeah, back to his old tricks. Get it?

From In Touch via Celebitchy:

The ink is barely dry on Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s divorce papers, but Russell, a self-described former sex addict, has already been spotted prowling London clubs in search of sexy ladies! “Anything who thinks he’s just been dating one or two girls is mistaken,” reveals a close friend. “He loves the company of women. He can’t help himself.”

Indeed. While most newly divorced men might take their time getting back tnto the game, 36-year-old Russell is headed toward the behavior that landed him in rehab for sex addiction. And while his friend claims he’s having the time of his life, Russell’s antics prove beyond a doubt that Katy’s better off without him. “He has a constant supply of women who want jump into bed with him,” the friend marvels. “He can have a different woman every day.”

And sadly, that could be just what Russell is doing — despite his claims that when he met Katy, he put his sex adiction behind him once and for all. “Because Katy loves me, I’m being a good boy,” Russell insisted during their 14-month-long marriage. But judging from the way he’s acting now, it’s easy to be skeptical. As much as he praised the 27-year-old singer, he’s bounced back with troubling pace. And it makes some wonder if he was ever truly capable of love. “During their marriage, Russell struggled with his sex addiciton,” confides another pal, adding that while he adored Katy, he became frustrated throughout their frequent time apart — leaving some concerned that he may have strayed.

Though Russell has overcome addictions to alcohol and drugs, behing single and out more leaves him open to temptation and sliding into the abyss of his sex addiction. But numbing the pain of his split with mindless sex will make him even less likely to pine over Katy. As the friend admits, “He doesn’t even care about her at all anymore.”

As much as I adore Russell Brand, and as much as I want to believe that this isn’t true, I don’t think I would be absolutely shocked if this was actually happening. From what we’ve heard, it sounds like Russell had a hell of a problem with addiction – besides all the sex, he was also into booze and heroin – and I don’t think I have to tell you that everyone who gets sober doesn’t always stay sober. Still though, and this might be my naivety speaking, but I really think Russell is doing quite a bit better than In Touch would like us to believe.

What do you guys think? Is Russell going to go back to his old ways, or will he stay sober?

  • He’s doing exactly what he should be doing: Spreading his seed as widely as humanly possible. And, oh, let’s not forget.. each and every time there is a consenting female on the other end of his by-now-very-infected tallywhacker who is drawn to fame like a moth to a fl-… oh, wait.. who does THAT remind me of????

  • Sex addiction? Whoever dreamed up that term deserves a Nobel prize in chutzpah. If you believe someone can be a “sex addict”, you might also believe someone can be addicted to breathing.
