Stepping out in an outfit that looked strikingly similar to what Katie Holmes was wearing today, comedian Russell Brand emerged from the Red Door restaurant in Los Angeles after dining with Britney Spears; I guess those VMA promos they did together really worked!

Brit and Russell exited separately to avoid the paps, but this relationship is far from low profile.  We all know Britney's past with men and Russell is an admitted drug and sex addict.  According to the Daily Mail, Russell told reporters he was back on the prowl after a three-month relationship with Australian Teresa Palmer, describing himself as  'footloose and fancy free'.

Match made in heaven? Let's hope not.  Britney needs friends, not more men to scandalize her.  Don't eff this up for her or us (her adoring public) Russell!
