Not Kenny Everett, just Sid Snot

I saw him in real life last week going into some awards do (the one where Rod Stewart told him off) and he was the only person to pay more attention to the fans or onlookers than the photographers. So I think he is OK, and I wish him well.

I didn't watch his programme though. Is it repeated?

Rod Stewart was nice to the civillians too, but he kept his distance a bit more than RB.

There were naked people jiggling their bits about at the end of the show.

we were asked to feel sorry for lily allen.

She was at that thing too.

I had a dream the other night that Russell Brand was going to be the first Englishman to go to the moon and I had been sent to interview him for a major newspaper. However, I ended up inadvertantly offending his twin 11 year-old sons and the interview was called off.

Sounds like your dream was funnier than the show

unusually sane piece

unusually sane

keeps a cat, which for a vegetarian is like Wilberforce keeping a cannibal slave.

I have always heard of this Germaine Greer person but never knew that much about her. I think that piece is grebt and hilarious. It also gives me the unmistakable impression that she quite fancies him.

Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 11:32 (seventeen years ago) link

The question is, did she actually marry George Lazenby but has kept quiet about it?

Sounds also like she wants to give Mick Farren a second chance. He's been on ILx you know.

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 11:35 (seventeen years ago) link

laughed far too much at him on CBB's BM last night.

vita susicivus (blueski), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 11:56 (seventeen years ago) link

why still with the guilt?

the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 11:58 (seventeen years ago) link

not guilt

vita susicivus (blueski), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

The question is, did she actually marry George Lazenby but has kept quiet about it?

Worried that if people found out she would be murdered in a drive-by shooting like what happened to Diana Rigg, obv.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 12:00 (seventeen years ago) link

And shot by Telly Savalas as well!

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 12:15 (seventeen years ago) link

My work colleague upset me by claiming that Diana Rigg is full of herself and a real cow in real life. Can anyone confirm?

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 12:18 (seventeen years ago) link

well, did it make you cry?

RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 12:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Only time I've ever seen Rigg in real life is when she played the lead in Ted Hughes' adaptation of Phedre at the Aldwych. Didn't appear full of herself or of a notably bovine nature.

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 12:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Who George Lazenby did eventually marry is possibly more unlikely than if he'd hooked up with with GG. (Not Allin). Pam Shriver!

the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I do hope that Mick Farren actually gets confused between Germaine Greer and Pam Shriver.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 13:13 (seventeen years ago) link

hes still funny doing big brothers big mouth. everything else he does, i can do without it. he does love himself a bit too much though, i saw his amnesty ad on the london underground and despite the cause, it just smacked of what germaine greer was talking about when he didnt seem to get it was a bit of a joke when he was asked about being too handsome.

I do hope that Mick Farren actually gets confused between Germaine Greer and Pam Shriver.

And Pam Grier.

Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 13:16 (seventeen years ago) link

That could hold the key to the whole misunderstanding!

Russell Brand's Ponderland on Channel 4 has been the funniest thing on TV for a long, long time.

In Bed With MeDinner > all other comedy of the past 20 years.

Fuck me, I must've been watching something else then.

nate woolls, Friday, 26 October 2007 10:09 (sixteen years ago) link

i have been enjoying it too (as i mentioned elsewhere, and to my surprise) and had spotted the similarity to medinner (the public information films, for instance).

i like that he is not afraid to mock himself - he showed footage of his arrest, his clip from the bill, and him singing along with hammers fans (whilst recounting the stories behind them all). he does strike me as a cross between ross noble and noel fielding.

RUSSELL BRAND has always hero-worshipped MORRISSEY - and now his dreams have come true with an invite to be in his idol’s next promo.

Russell told me: “I’m off to LA to be in Morrissey’s video for a couple of days - mad, isn’t it?”

Not at all, Russell. At least you won’t c*** it up like the numbskull from the NME.

Russell’s also making a documentary on the ex-SMITHS star - a nerve-wracking gig keeping the Manc misery-guts happy.

It’s a task that would definitely cause the dinkle to shrink in fear.

fyi i was smoking crack in 2006

i like the programme he does on more 4 at the moment. his anecdote about trying to ask out one of the williams sisters was really funny (and endearing, just cos hes so honest).

mr x, Thursday, 20 December 2007 13:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Charlie Brooker had a piece defending him in the last Guardian guide (which opened with Brooker admitting that all his friends were egging him on to tear into Brand when they heard he was writing a column on him).

I still haven't LOL'd at any Russell Brand, though. I can appreciate that he's clearly very clever (did Dennis Miller ever make it to the UK? Miller is a reference point for Brand, which is... not a good thing), and his redemption tale is impressive, but no laffs for me.

Savannah Smiles, Thursday, 20 December 2007 14:27 (sixteen years ago) link

I can appreciate that he's clearly very clever

Not that clearly

Tom D., Thursday, 20 December 2007 14:27 (sixteen years ago) link

No, I guess you're right, but I think even detractors can admit he's pretty quick.
