Rumor Mill: Is This Russell Brand’s Girlfriend?

Meet 25-year-old Oriela Medellin Amieiro (you can just call her “Oriela,” if you like). She is a painter! She is an actress! She was recently spied sneaking out of a celebrity’s apartment! She also has—I think we can all agree on this—curves that don’t quit.

Her artist’s statement:

My work explores feelings of guilt, sensuality, sexuality and repression from a woman’s perspective.

In an era where gender roles and identities are blurred, my works express contradictions.

They portray strong and powerful females and their inner turmoil, as well as gentle and sensitive males.

Gentle, sensitive males, she says? Why, it’s little surprise, then, that Oriela might go for the likes of Russell Brand. Yep, that’s the rumor! Oriela is Brand’s new girlfriend!

And gosh, I hope so. I think I might like a couple of her paintings (NSFW?).

Also, it makes strange, total sense that Brand would go for a Latina painter. It’s this perfect inversion of that histrionic Katy Perry music video, “The One That Got Away,” except Brand has substituted Diego Luna with a super hot chick. Nice job, Russ.

As the story goes, the new couple met in yoga classes. I don’t have any hard evidence to support that rumor, but I will say that Oriela’s Tumblr (she has a Tumblr, you guys! That’s so cute!) is equal parts yoga and fashion photography. So yeah, she is into yoga, anyway.

Oriela’s acting reel is terrible, but I’ll just assume it all means she has a sense of humor:

  • Oh dear God..her art is not good. I own a gallery, and I would never in a million years show that work. Anyway, she is cute though. I like thinking about Russell pretending to like her work haha. Stick to modeling sweetie.

  • I don’t think Russel Brand is attractive AT. ALL. However, he seems nice enough (albeit with some serious drug and sexual issues). Katy Perry annoys the shit out of me, so I’m all for him moving on to greener pastures.

    If this is the person he’s hooking up with, good for him. Maybe she’s odd enough to keep his interest.
