When Russell Brand was 16, he inscribed a school-leaving card to his first girlfriend. “You might be as famous as me one day,” he wrote. “If so, see you at the top.” There was no “might”, not from the very beginning, about how famous Russell Brand expected to be.
But the rest of us might have been forgiven for thinking the game was up for Brand after the 2008 incident when, egged on by Jonathan Ross, he prank-called the elderly actor Andrew Sachs to boast he had slept with his granddaughter. The incident cost him his show on Radio 2 and turned much of the UK media against him. Yet, a year-and-a-half on from “Sachsgate”, while Ross’s star is falling, Brand has become a transatlantically famous name.
Having been eagerly photographed waltzing up the red carpet into Vanity Fair’s post-Oscars party with pop star fiancee Katy Perry, Brand now has six feature films either in development or post-production. A sequel to his bestselling autobiography, My Bookie Wook, is under contract with a new publisher, and Oliver Stone – who has said that Brand reminds him of Jim Morrison – is reported to be executive-producing a documentary about him. Less than two years after many were predicting the end of his career, this spindleshanked loon in women’s trousers looks set to take over the world. How, it’s fair to wonder, did this come about?

Spindleshanked loon in women’s trousers? The world begs to differ.
“he prank-called the elderly actor Andrew Sachs to boast he had slept with his granddaughter” – not accurate reporting. Why do even the intelligent press portray this from the wrong angle. He called Andrew Sachs because the latter was scheduled to do an interview with him. Sachs didn’t pick up the phone (and the rest is history), but the original plan was to skirt around the subject without mentioning it. Rather than boasting about it, he was actually apologising. That’s my angle.
wat abowt the frigging pixies dont they get a status
The world has been set on fire,
The people rise,
A poet resigns…
Freedom of speech rest in peace,
The revolution will not be televised at the BBC,
Hades begat a whore,
Pretty and sweet bore from respected seed,
Satan’s slut falls at the comedians feet..
An Englishmen adventures forth..
Piercing the world with his winky sword,
missed by the creatures,
his words still fall
6 music podcasts on repeat mark the start of it all.
I miss the radio show!!! It was the best thing Russell’s ever done, and I looked forward to it every week. I’m not interested in this diluted version of Russell, although of course I wish him all the best, if that’s what he wants.
