Russell Brand Pays For Homeless Man’s Christmas Travel
Posted December 29, 2008 at 3:26 am by: Sparkle-C
Raunchy comedian Russell Brand may seem dirty and nasty on the outside, but inside he is just a big ol’ teddy bear. As Russ was heading into the London department store Harrods last Tuesday, he was approached by a homeless man selling a charity magazine to make a few bucks. After speaking with the man for a minute, Russ reached into his pockets and gave the mean $800 so he could travel to be with his family on Christmas.
Hopefully the man used the cash for travel and not drugs or booze.
“Russell was about to enter Harrods when he was approached by a Big Issue vendor. The man told Russell he wanted to go home for Christmas but couldn’t afford it. So Russell dug deep into his pocket, giving him the money to take a train to see his elderly parents in the north of England. The man was reduced to tears, telling Russell he had made his Christmas.”
Jordin Sparks vs. Russell Brand: Promise Rings
Posted September 8, 2008 at 3:05 am by: Sparkle-C
If you watched the 2008 MTV VMA’s you heard Russell Brand ragging on the Jonas Brothers for wearing promise rings and being virgins. He went on about it so much I started to really think he was offended that these teenage boys were not out getting giggy with it every night. (Although I’m sure that’s exactly what they are doing behind closed doors. Didn’t one of them date Miley Cyrus? Nuff said.)
Anywhoo, after several jokes at the Jonas’ expense, American Idol star Jordin Sparks decides to speak-up and defend all the innocent young people in the music industry. Jordin says “it’s not bad to wear promise rings because not everyone wants to be a slut.” Russell fires back saying he ‘doesn’t want to piss off teenage fans with comments on promise rings, but that doesn’t mean he wants to “piss on” them either.
Ok, so that one line is funny. The rest of the show still sucks. Read on for more of my thoughts and opinions on how bad MTV sucks.
