Russell Brand Reportedly Dating Hugh Hefner's Ex. Holly Madison

Russell Brand, a comedian-turned-actor, is reportedly dating former "The Girls Next Door" star, Holly Madison. Russell, who is known as ladies lover, met Holly in Las Vegas at a party thrown by Jay-Z after the Ricky Hatton/Manny Pacquiao boxing match earlier this month.

Russell has been visiting the ex. girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner since Russell began filming the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" spinoff "Get Him to the Greek" in Los Angeles. A source said, "Russell has really hit it off with Holly. She's a big star in the US, which he finds really attractive. And his constant tomfoolery has her in stitches."

The 29-year-old Holly had been dating Hugh Hefner for 7 years before they split in October last year.

The source also added, "Russ has been making late night visits to her home in the Hollywood Hills. He's been there three times in the past week and neighbors have heard them 'enjoying themselves' loudly."
