Russell Brand

Good idea! How was he at the VMAs? I heard he made some virgins cry.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a129835/brand-apologises-for-jonas-vmas-gag.html

I like the half-arsed nature of his apology.

Brand later retracted his Jonas Brothers gag, saying: "I've got to say sorry because I said them things about promise rings. That were bad of me, I didn't mean to take it lightly, or whatever.

"I love the Jonas Brothers, think they're really good. I don't want to p*** off teenage fans, all right. In fact, quite the opposite. So promise rings, I'm well up for it, well done."

This missed out the end where he said "to be fair though, a little bit of sex never hurt anyone"
 
For some reason the Beeb have been giving this lots of coverage (not that I mind), so I've been watching all the build up to it on there. He did himself proud at the VMAs, but I hope he'll still tour and film in the UK.
 
Russell Brand calls George Bush a 'retard' at MTV awards

If his aim was to be noticed by America, Russell Brand more than achieved his goal last night as he ranted that President Bush was a “retarded cowboy” while hosting the MTV awards.

The British comedian, who is a virtual unknown in America, left the crème of the music world stunned as he championed Barack Obama, ran down George Bush and made lewd jokes about the Christian pop band Jonas Brothers.

Ignoring the renowned patriotism of Americans, Brand told the Hollywood audience they must vote for Barrack Obama “on behalf of the world”, before insinuating that America had lower standards than Britain when it came to picking leaders.

"Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president.

"But I know America to be a forward thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years?

"We were very impressed. We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because, in England, he wouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors."

Members of the studio audience, including Britney Spears, who was making a much-hyped comeback appearance, and Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus, looked horrified at Brand’s jokes.

American Idol winner turned chart-topper Jordin Sparks was so incensed by a joke about Christian band Jonas Brothers that she launched her own tirade at the host.

The teenage singer, who wears a ring symbolising her belief in abstaining from sex until marriage, snapped at Brand: "I just want to say, it's not bad to wear a promise ring because not every guy and girl wants to be a slut, OK?"

Brand, a self-confessed sex addict known for his huge hair and boundary-pushing act, apologised for the crack but later went on to make another bawdy joke.

Yet to really break America, despite a role in spring rom-com Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Brand was considered an odd choice for host, a role previously filled by A-listers including Jack Black and P Diddy.

Acknowledging the criticism, Brand joked about his lack of fame in the US: "My persona doesn't really work without fame. Without fame, this haircut could be mistaken for mental illness."

Today, his name is much better known. While the event was hyped as the platform for Spears’ return, Brand almost overshadowed the pop singer in the post-awards press coverage.

The LA Times wrote: “The 2008 VMAs were poised to mark the return of Britney Spears. Instead, they will go down in history as the night when that English guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall almost made the Jonas Brothers cry.”

The New York Times were appreciative of Brand’s turn, saying the “manic, intelligent English comedian, injected the show with politics (pro-Barack Obama), raunch and philosophical musings.”

But others were less charitable. The Chicago Tribune wrote that “Nobody quite knew what to make of the opening monologue of wild-haired host Russell Brand”, while MTV’s online message boards were besieged by confused and outraged Americans.

One message read: "Why is it that Brits think the rest of the world doesn't get their humour? The myth is a tired excuse for lack of humour."

Another said: "Russell WHO? I didn't realise this show was an Osama (sic) campaign rally. This British nobody looks like he was pulled from the ranks of the homeless - with his unshaved look, rats' nest hair-do and foul mouth."

I now love Russell Brand as much as the rest of you. LET ME LICK YOUR GENIUS, SIR!
 
I might actually like him after the promise ring thing. It's been a long road, but I think he may have got me eventually.
 
I hope he makes another series of that show. The bit about dads willies being darker was hilarious.

But what did he say about the rings? I can get the general gist from the articles and I saw his apology, but haven't seen the actual comment.
 
"confused and outraged americans."
 
My favourite kind, I always want to take them home
 
He doesn't give a fuck. Russel Brand, that is. You gotta love that.

Me too. DAMN YOU BRAND!

I loathe the Jonas brothers with a passion. And America needs to rip the stick out of it's arse. Or may I say, white America, cuz the black folk in the crowd thought he was funny.
 
I'm sure the queen's heart worse from Prince Philip in moments of passion.
 
I must be the only Mine Fielder who has never liked Brand.

Don't get it, just don't find him funny. He's smart, but annoying.
 
You'll come around gradually like they all do.
 
I doubt it.
 
I dont like him either.

Random random random wank, random random random fuck, random random random virgin, random random random controversial.

Sorry if I just spoiled his act for anyone
