Omg your right. Here's Perry:

Well this ends that debate in its tracks.
 
That bedroom pic really did make me feel sorry for Katy. She had no idea she had married a cheeky monkey instead of a man. Or maybe she knew. Look at him, she had to have known, and chose not to believe. But that's when I knew the marriage was doomed, unless he was really making large personality changes. Any man who would do that to his new young wife, is a man who doesn't give a fuck, about feelings, or anything. If he thinks it's funny, its fair game. Anyway, he was a big fish in a small pond, and now his name recognition in the States is tenfold. Now he can go back to banging young girls and being irresponsible, and Katy gets all that sympathy from her fan base. The only victims here are us, and possibly Katy's real feelings.

He became successful as a stand-up comedian on the UK comedy circuit but achieved wider fame through the tabloids obsession with the fact that he'll seemingly stick his dick in anything with a pulse. We all got rather sick of him after he left insulting messages on the answering machine of a much beloved actor (Andrew Sachs, 'Manuel' from Fawlty Towers) live on national radio, alluding to having sex with his grand-daughter, so as is tradition with all British celebrities that become too annoying for these shores (Piers Morgan, Simon Cowell, etc), we carted him off to America and can only hope he has a long and successful career in the states, thus preventing him from returning to plague further us with his 'brand' (snicker) of comedy.

He wasn't carted off anywhere, he left on his own accord because the British public are a bunch of total grade-a morons that get angry about things because they're told to by bottom-dwelling tabloids. Also: Money and women in Hollywood.

I don't read any 'bottom-dwelling tabloids', so I wouldn't know, but even if I did I certainly wouldn't have needed them to tell me to find what Brand & Ross did as particularly unfunny and distasteful. And you're right, we didn't send him anywhere - thankfully he left of his own accord, only returning to do one particularly unfunny comedy special that thanks to his inflated ego wasn't a patch on his earlier material. As for money and women in Hollywood, I can only hope he finds as much of either as he needs to keep him in the US indefinitely.

So much hate for Russell Brand. I get it, he's shit at acting and not funny but his BBC radio shows were up there with the ricky gervais stuff in terms of comedy and entertainment.

We'll have brand back, you can keep piers morgan.

They absolutely were. I reckon I laughed just as much as Matt and Russ as I did at Ricky, Steve and Karl. Matt just knew how to make Russ laugh at anything, which was always good value. I really don't get the hate for him.

As someone who listened to that podcast, I actually thought the song itself was funny and pretty damn good, considering it was made up on the spot. I agree that it was a little harsh, but nothing has been blown out of proportion as much as that was. Utterly insane.

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7IHJ66wj9g - seriously, the song (starting about 5 minutes in) was improvised. Pretty impressive (albeit, as I have said - to be clear - harsh). Not also, it was Ross who started it, Russ wasn't going near that topic.
 
I actually expected them to stay married longer (no idea why), but seeing that wake up pic of her... Ai, no surprise it failed.

My theory on why this happened - he turned into a pussy after they married. He used to have rockstar swagger, razor wit and what have you. Then he got married, got whipped, and started going to yoga classes and preaching love to all mankind.

Apparently me and you are the only two in this thread to have seen this movie.

Also, lol @ Brand haters. GAFs jealousy knows no bounds.
 
Russell Brand pre-American desperation: Brilliant
Russell Brand post-American 'fame': Good
Russell Brand without Matt Morgan: Shite
This news: Predictable

It was just weird that this guy seemingly showed up from nowhere, had a reputation that preceded him and was getting married to Katy Perry (I don't even remember them dating for very long). That's really what it was like for me and while I don't consider myself up-to-the-minute with pop culture I know enough to stay in the loop of goings on. People say the Kim Kardashian marriage was a sham but I think this marriage was more of a sham because Russel Brand seemingly used Katy Perry to establish a name for himself in the US. I really don't think he would be anywhere in the US were it not for his association to Katy Perry. Not really sure what she thought she was getting out of it. Maybe she really liked him?
