When you love someone who suffers from the disease of addiction you await the phone call. There will be a phone call. The sincere hope is that the call will be from the addict themselves, telling you they’ve had enough, that they’re ready to stop, ready to try something new. Of course though, you fear the other call, the sad nocturnal chime from a friend or relative telling you it’s too late,...

Russell Brand to control the fate of the Oscars →
Just kidding! He’s only been invited to become a voting member of the Oscars. We wonder if Reuters could have come up with a less backhanded way to congratulate Brand, however:
Even after struggling to establish himself as a Hollywood leading man, raunchy English comedian Russell Brand has been invited to become an Oscar voter.
He is among 178 actors, filmmakers and other Hollywood...

The Spinto Band covers Arthur's Theme →
“Oh, Mandy” is a favorite around the FYRB headquarters, so we are saddened that Mr. Brand did not, in fact, reply when they sent him a copy of their cover of “Arthur’s Theme.”

Watch Russell Brand Improvise a Shakespearean... →
Famous for his onscreen improvising, Russell Brand has to stick to the Shakespearean text in Julie Taymor’s film The Tempest, where he plays the jester Trinculo. Still, an antic comedian like Brand needs some sort of outlet for his verbal flights of fancy, and so it is that when Taymor asked Brand to expand on his character during rehearsals, he responded with a dizzying, dazzling...

If he’s trying to get on the good side of Katy Perry’s parents, this is definitely not the way to go.
No Wedding Bells for Russ & Katy →
Did Katy really think he was worthy of meeting the ‘rents? Don’t get me wrong — we love Russ here! — but he’s definitely more the “Dirty Secret” guy than the one you bring home to Mom and Dad.

Mick’s Film Review « Russell Brand →
You know Russell, we love you, we really do, but the sports-nerd part of my feminine self takes umbrage at your assertion that women should not see The Damned United because it’s a film about soccer (or, as they call it in every other corner of the globe, “football”).
Sport(s) films are actually a genre that many of the women I know really appreciate. Hell, many of them end up...
