"When rumors first swirled that newlyweds Katy Perry and Russell Brand were having marital problems, I didn&amp;#x27;t think much about it. The tabs say that about every celebrity couple, I sniffed. No proof, no believe. Fast forward to a month to Christmas--Katy was ringless and bikinied in Hawaii with some friends; Russell was at a pub in the English countryside with a friend--and it was the red flag of all red flags, folks. I&amp;#x27;m worried. As tempting as a Hawaiian vacation is--especially because I&amp;#x27;m several shades paler than Florence Welch--I&amp;#x27;d never ditch my boyfriend to spend Christmas far from home with some friends. Another time of year? Sure, I&amp;#x27;d love to get my tan on and sip margaritas on white sand with girlfriends. But the holidays? Not so much. And I think I&amp;#x27;d be depressed knowing he&amp;#x27;s sitting at a bar on Christmas Day instead of, say, being surrounded by loved ones. But this whole thing got me thinking... if Katy and Russell are over, finished, kaput, who would she date? It&amp;#x27;s hard to picture her with many of Hollywood&amp;#x27;s most eligible bachelors. Her taste seems a little offbeat. She seems to embrace everything big, bright and bold. So I played matchmaker--and here are my picks. Ben Gibbard Follow me here: If I had to name Katy&amp;#x27;s celebrity lookalike, I&amp;#x27;d say it would be New Girl&amp;#x27;s Zooey Deschanel. Total twinsies. Zooey recently ended her marriage to the Death Cab for Cutie singer, so maybe Katy could swoop in and snag him? Andy Samberg When Katy hosted SNL earlier this month, she and Andy had a lot of chemistry playing holiday best friends in a digital short. You know what they say--&amp;quot;best friends&amp;quot; make great boyfriends. Travis McCoy What&amp;#x27;s old is new again! Katy dated the Gym Class Heroes singer for several years before falling head over heels for Russell and quickly getting married. Maybe they could pick up where they left off? Bradley Cooper We know The Hangover star has been dating Zoe Saldana, but, truth is, his relationships don&amp;#x27;t last that long. (Proof? He was marriaged to Jennifer Esposito for just four months.) So, based on his dating patterns, he should be single by spring, if Katy ends up being available as well. Owen Wilson Did ya know Katy&amp;#x27;s real name is Kate Hudson? Well, then why not set her up with one of the other Kate Hudson&amp;#x27;s many exes. Katy likes a funny guy and Owen is the funniest of the bunch--and maybe his mellow, easy-going nature would be a good contrast to Katy&amp;#x27;s over the top style and personality? What do you think will happen between Katy and Russell? Think it&amp;#x27;s all tabloid nonsense? Or are you more of the &amp;quot;Where there&amp;#x27;s smoke, there&amp;#x27;s fire&amp;quot; mentality? And if Katy ends up single, who do you think she should date? Anyone on my list?
