Russell's Brand new girlfriend
Tue, 21/02/2012 - 12:04 by Gemma Exley

Considering Russell Brand once claimed to have had sex with 90 (different!) women in one month, it's not exactly breaking news that he's added a notch to his knob following his split with Katy Perry, although it might be more surprising that his latest woman can stand on one leg in a yoga pose - given his alleged love of wheelchair porn and all... Anyway, her name is Oriela Medellin Amieiro and everyone is now asking whether she might be the woman to tame Brand. If you rearrange the letters to spell 'mate', she probably is.

According to our research (page one of Google), Oriela Medellin Amieiro is a 26-years-old artist. She also looks a bit like Kate Holmes in the nose and enjoys beaches and yoga. In fact, it was apparently in a yoga class that she met Brand. 

This is what it says on her website:

Oriela Medellin is a modern day gypsy and where her interests range from philosophy to fashion.

Born in Mexico City to Puerto Rican designer Wanda Amieiro she grew up in the fashion world. Raised in Mexico city ventured to study abroad to Milan at  Marangoni, Paris,  New York Film Academy for actingdue to her fascination for human behavior  and finished at FIDM in Los Angeles. Her background has been always driven by an incredible passion for self-expression through art.

Oriela has grown up in the fashion world and currently works as creative director for the known clothing brand Wanda Amieiro from Mexico City.

Because of her multicultural background and constant travelling  she has been lucky to experience having a network of different cultures, ideologies and backgrounds which influence her work with a more globalized view of the world. Oriela works freelance and can be seen always painting, sketching or with a camera. She had an exhibition along with Nylon´s founder Mark Blackwell at the Melrose Gallery ¨Ghettogloss¨. Intern at BCBG, Herve Leger and Bebe. Styled Cirque du Soleil´s Nitza for the LA music awards. Oriela participated in a charity exhibition on Melrose called " Whistleblowers " for Congo . 

Her work is owned by very important international families which would rather have their names private.

Does she have Katy Perry's USP though? Look through the gallery to find out.
