Hey guys! My names Lil i'm 16 & im from Cardiff! and this is a myspace all about the lovely Russell Brand. So if u love him like i do then add me
Russell Brand (born June 5, 1975 in Essex, England) is an English comedian best known for hosting the E4 discussion show Big Brother's EFourum, now known as Big Brother's Big Mouth. His controversial style of humour has split opinion, and he is also known for his debauchery; one notable example being his ejection from the Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh for abusive behaviour [1].
Brand has worked for MTV UK with shows such as Dance Floor Chart, Select and RE:BRAND, but was sacked on the 12 September 2001 for arriving at work dressed as Osama bin Laden. [2]
On the 23 February 2006, Brand hosted the 2006 NME Awards show. Memorably, upon reaching the stage to receive his award, Bob Geldof began his speech with "Russell Brand... what a cunt." which later prompted Brand to strike back with, "I actually think Geldof's the best person to speak about famine, seeing as he's been dining out on I Don't Like Mondays for thirty years...". Talking about this event in his stand-up show, Brand refers to his ambivalence about snapping back. He claimed he always liked Geldof, stating that "it was a bit like Father Christmas calling me a cunt".
Brand has a radio show featuring Matt Morgan and Trevor Lock on Sundays, on BBC 6 Music. The show featured Karl Pilkington for its first installment but he no longer features.

Contrary to rumour, Russell Brand is not the son of comedienne Jo Brand, although he would like to meet her.A self-confessed "woman adorer", he is rumoured to be in a relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, something his fans claim is evidence that he is not gay, amidst the rumours suggesting so in the early part of 2006. It was revealed in the summer of that year that he had had affairs with Big Brother (UK) contestants Kate Lawler, Becki Seddiki and Makosi Musambasi. [3]
His fans include Ricky Gervais, who asked him to compere the Teenage Cancer Trust Comedy Show at the Albert Hall. Much of Russell's recent stand up has detailed his descent into the world of hard drugs and his subsequent recovery. The recent advertising campaign for his new MTV show played up to his bad boy image by featuring a compilation of his misdemeanours while presenting DFC, with the tag line "Would you give this man his own show?"
Brand is also a former heroin addict and has had numerous run-ins with the law, having been arrested eleven times. He has been free from heroin addiction since 2003, and hosted a forum show about drugs for Channel 4 in 2006, which had a similar format to that of Big Brother's Big Mouth. Russell is a confirmed fan of West Ham United FC. Brand is also a big fan of ex-Smiths frontman Morrissey and has a cat of the same name.
Currently, Brand is hosting the MTV UK show 1 Leicester Square, and the Channel 4/E4 show Big Brother's Big Mouth. 1 Leicester Square takes the format of a chatshow and guests have included Tom Cruise, Uma Thurman and Christian Slater. 1 Leicester Square is shown on MTV UK at 8.00pm on Sunday nights. Big Brother's Big Mouth provides an alternative commentary on the happenings in the Big Brother house through a discussion run by Brand, using a panel of members of the public and, typically, two celebrities.
