A source said: “Russell has fancied Katy for ages.”
“When they were both in New York for the music awards Russell finally got his chance to work his charm on her. “Katy knows his bad boy reputation but could not resist – especially when Russell sent a love poem with a note attached saying, ‘Please send me a poem back.’
“Russell killed himself laughing when Katy sent a photo of her boobs with the word ‘poem’ scrawled across them.”
“The next minute Russell picked up the phone and invited her to Thailand for a secret getaway.”

Last night the new couple came back from their week-long screwing trip. Katy wrote on her Twitter page saying her Thailand trip was “Magical” – via The Sun

Another source said: “Despite his reputation, Katy thinks Russell is so charming she just wants to give things a go with him. “She thinks he is hilarious and incredibly sexy.”

Good luck Katy, Russell is a sex-addict. He told his ex Christy Peterson to go shopping while he had  a threesome. He can’t control his urges to stray.
