Newly Single Russell Brand Turns His Frown Upside Down

Yesterday Russell Brand was spotted strolling through Beverly Hills, and the British comedian looked like he was in a great mood when photogs snapped his picture. After it was announced that Russell was filing for divorce from wife Katy Perry, he's seemed pretty bummed the last few times we caught up with him, so this is definitely a nice change of pace!

Hmm, does this have anything to do with the fact that he's rumored to be seeing a new ladylove?
