...clients, who met in Switzerland last week following Taylor's six-month tour in Russia for the filming of The Bluebird. With Taylor apparently having parked her current beau, Used Car Dealer Harry Wynberg, she and Burton have planned a trip to Israel to test their reborn romance.

But it's not even clear...
