Despite being fired by MTV for turning up to work on 12/09/2001 madourvit on crack and dressed as Osama Bin Laden, bosses at the station have entrusted Russell Brand with presenting the MTV Awards in LA in September. They obviously haven't seen the tape of that Brit Awards he did a couple of years back... Russell said: "I've been warned when I'm presenting there are two things I am never allowed to say. One - c***. And two - Scientology. There is one sentence that could join both of those words but I'm going to try and not say it. I have a problem when people tell me not to do something. When I was going to meet the Queen the protocol people told me how to bow, not to curtsy, not to speak until I was spoken to. But all I could think of was, 'Grab her tit'!"... People say you must enjoy it that no one knows you're famous in America. But I hate it. Without fame this haircut makes me look like someone who has a mental illness. I want everyone to know who I am. I have to carry a laptop around with me so I can explain I am a celebrity. I've prostituted YouTube so much I call it MeTube now. I tap 'R' into Google and it comes up 'Russell' straight away. It is so bored of me." Indeed.
Behold Russell's dalliance with Adam Sandler in the wee hours of this morning. According to WENN, Russell and Adam (looking every inch the American tourist) "arrived at the same time but Adam showed his admiration for the fellow comedian / actor by waiting in his car and watching as photographers took Russell's picture, shouting "Go Russell, work it" before getting out himself to reclaim the limelight, and walking into the club with Russell, who put his arm around him." Awww. Celebrities, respectin' each other, 'n stuff.
