Why Russell Brand Decided To Skip His Own Movie Premiere

Catarina Cowden — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 17:55:22 +0000

Russell Brand is certainly not one for silence. Whether it be his political activism or his stand-up comedy, Brand is a strong voice that is undoubtedly heard. And this year, as a new documentary about the life of the comic, actor and author will premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival<, one would expect to see Brand adding in his own two cents at the screening.

Trailer For Diablo Cody's Paradise: Can Julianne Hough Handle Juno-Style Dialogue?

Katey Rich — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 10:40:18 +0000

You get some hints of Cody's trademark snappy dialogue, and I genuinely like the "L.L. Bean tote bag full of cash," but Hough is no Ellen Page, and seems even here to be stumbling a bit over the wiseacre dialogue she's handed. She's the girl most recently famous for starring in the Nicolas Sparks adaptation Safe Haven, and though she gets credit for shaking up her image so early into her career, it seems to be an awkward fit so far

Diablo Cody's Directorial Debut Coming To Your TV... Next Week

Katey Rich — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:41:32 +0000

The directorial debut from Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Juno and creator of The United States of Tara, ought to be a big deal. So why is it going to slink on to your TV screens next Thursday with seemingly no fanfare whatsoever? Cody herself broke the news via Twitter that her film Paradise is making its way to the decidedly small screen much, much sooner than we figured

Wait! Russell Brand Asked Katy Perry For A Divorce Via Text Message?

Mack Rawden — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:26:01 +0000

You know what happened when one of my friends broke up with a girl he’d been dating for two months via text message in high school? Every single one of his friends told him he was a dick. Deep down, he even knew it was a dick move. If you’re going to break up with someone, you need to look him or her in the eyes when you do it.

Russell Brand And W. Kamau Bell's Late Night Shows Nab Additional Episodes

Jessica Rawden — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:28:30 +0000

Over the summer, FX decided to take a run at late night programming. The network hired actor Russell Brand to host BrandX and stand-up comedian W. Kamau Bell to host Totally Biased. The network started tentatively with both series, signing on for six episodes each. Both shows were later given a few more episodes, and now each has signed on for the biggest contract yet.

Russell Brand Says He And Katy Perry Weren't Compatible

Mack Rawden — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:28:24 +0000

Russell Brand has never talked about the specific reasons behind his divorce from Katy Perry, but he vaguely addressed the subject during a new interview. Apparently, he and the pop star had compatibility issues, and from his perspective, it’s best to split from a partner who you can’t share things with.

Eric Eisenberg — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 22:58:54 +0000

Earlier this week it was announced that Russell Brand would play Pierre Pierre for director Larry Charles' next project and now there's word that Warner Bros. has brought the British comedian on-board to play Cupid.

Russell Brand To Star In Larry Charles' Pierre Pierre

Eric Eisenberg — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:08:29 +0000

Larry Charles doesn't direct a lot of movies, but when he does his star of choice is quite obvious. Though he has had a long career in television, working as a writer on shows like Seinfeld, Mad About You and The Arsenio Hall Show, since he made his way onto the big screen he has directed four features and three of them have starred Sacha Baron Cohen...

Kelly West — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:04:33 +0000

One of the reasons to celebrate the fact that it's June is FX's approaching comedy line-up, which gets going later this month. With two returning shows (Louie and Wilfred) and two new series (Brand X and Anger Management), we'll hopefully have four reasons to laugh on Thursday nights. FX released a new teaser for Russell Brand's new comedy series, which gives us a sample of what we're in store for when the series gets going.

Mack Rawden — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:36:32 +0000

Russell Brand Doesn't Regret Time With Katy Perry

Mack Rawden — Thu, 17 May 2012 10:59:24 +0000

A lesser man likely would have made the talk show rounds this week and explained why he’s no longer interested in hearing about his estranged partner’s life, but Brand actually took the opposite approach. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, he praised his former partner and said he doesn’t regret any of the time they spent together.

Russell Brand To Host The 2012 MTV Movie Awards

Kelly West — Thu, 10 May 2012 08:04:27 +0000

It was looking like we were going to have to wait until much later in June to see Russell Brand on cable TV. The actor, known for his stand-up comedy as well as various film roles, is set to star in his own comedy series titled Brand X on FX. But before that premieres, he'll be serving as host on the MTV Movie Awards.

Brand X Preview: Four Teasers For Russell Brand's FX Comedy Series

Jesse Carp — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:16:17 +0000

Previously operating under the title Strangely Uplifting, Brand X is FX's first foray into late night original programming but by the looks of it, the series that focuses on the British comedian's off-kilter take on current events will be anything but a traditional late night talk show. The new series is simply six, half-hour episodes of Russell Brand's musings in front of a live audience. Basically, a protracted comedy special. Take a look and be teased.

Russell Brand Hires Attorney To Help Fight Felony Arrest

Mack Rawden — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 14:48:38 +0000

As far as lessening the charged offense, Glass and Brand might actually have a case here. In Louisiana, any property damage over five hundred dollars is automatically a felony. The law firm window the actor broke has already been paid for at a cost of roughly two hundred and fifty dollars, and if it can be proven that the cell phone was broken but just needed fixing, it’s likely the total may run under two hundred and fifty dollars, thus automatically reducing the severity.

Russell Brand Accused Of Not Returning Rented Bikes

Mack Rawden — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:50:57 +0000

Obviously, Brand had a bit of a trying week after his bike ride. I get why returning the rentals wouldn’t be at the top of his priority list now, but I’m confused why he didn’t just drop them back off the same night. I thought that’s how bike rentals worked. You checked them out for a few hours and went home in your own vehicle.

Russell Brand's Cell Phone Incident Is Actually A Felony

Mack Rawden — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:08:33 +0000

When Russell Brand turned himself in to Louisiana authorities yesterday, it was assumed the actor would wind up with a warning or perhaps a small slap on the wrist. After all, while throwing a photographer’s iPhone through a law office window isn’t an awesome thing to do, the action hardly amounts to a jail worthy offense. At least that’s what I and most other people thought

Russell Brand Arrested For Throwing Cell Phone Through Window

Mack Rawden — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:08:03 +0000

Russell Brand’s impulsive cell phone throw might end up costing him a whole lot of time in addition to the money he’s already committed to pay. The comedian was taking a stroll through New Orleans on Monday night when a photographer pulled out his iPhone and began taking pictures of the soon to be divorced actor. Brand apparently wasn’t overly pleased with the situation because when the clicks continued, he snatched the cell phone and heaved it.

Russell Brand Scares Up A Starring Role In The Hauntrepreneur

Sean O'Connell — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:57:40 +0000

Based on a spec script by Scott Rosenberg, the awkwardly titled Hauntrepreneur -- I seriously don’t want to have to type that multiple times for the next year and a half -- casts Brand as a strange man hired to help a family adjust to their new home town. “In an attempt to bring them together,” Variety reports, “the man creates a haunted house filled with an odd cast of characters.”

Katy Perry Unfollows Russell Brand On Twitter

Jessica Grabert — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 13:56:15 +0000

Post divorce announcement, Katy Perry has done a bit to stay out of the public eye. She shied away from the People’s Choice Awards, and even dyed her hair in the attempt to camouflage herself like a blue chameleon. I would bet the 27 year-old singer even wants to hightail off of Twitter, but with a loyal fanbase, that is probably not her best call. Thus, Perry has attempted the next best thing: unfollowing Russell Brand.

Russell Brand And Katy Perry Reportedly Meeting In LA

Mack Rawden — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:38:55 +0000

Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s marriage might be over, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still wrinkles to iron out. Word is the soon to be ex-spouses are planning a get together this weekend in Los Angeles to provide some measure of closure and work on the specifics of the divorce prior to any future meetings the couple might have in court.

Russell Brand Inks Deals For A Late Night Show On FX And Animated Comedy Script For Fox

Jessica Grabert — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:38:16 +0000

Russell Brand has worked out a deal with FX to appear in six-episodes of an as-yet untitled program that will be taped in front of a live studio audience. Brand has also worked out a nice little deal with FX’s big brother network, Fox, that will allow him to get going on a presentation and a script for a new animated comedy program for the network. If the comedy goes to series, Brand will be on board as a co-creator as well as the lead voice.

Russell Brand About To Lose His Girlfriend To The President Of The United States

Sean O'Connell — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 09:02:05 +0000

Screenwriter Matt Portenoy penned the story of a “sexy hippie” (in Brand’s own words) who loses his girlfriend to our nation’s leader. As if you couldn’t tell that from the title. "It was inspired by the night I naively invited [Warners president] Jeff Robinov for dinner," Brand jokes. Great line.

Russell Brand And Julianne Hough Confirmed For Diablo Cody's Directorial Debut

Katey Rich — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:52:16 +0000

The project has been in the works for a while, with Julianne Hough and Russell Brand bandied about as leads, and now Mandate Pictures has confirmed the casting and a spring start date. The film no longer has a title, though, going into production as Untitled Diablo Cody project. Here's the brief synopsis they provided

Russell Brand Considered For Diablo Cody's Next Film, Lamb Of God

Katey Rich — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:25:59 +0000

I like the idea of Brand hopping on board a project that's a little different, though, and also not entirely about his personality. Since breaking out for U.S. audiences in Forgetting Sarah Marshall he's really just been playing various incarnations of his public persona

Alec Baldwin Goes Hair Metal In First Rock Of Ages Set Photo

Katey Rich — Tue, 31 May 2011 10:07:53 +0000

Shankman accompanied the photo with the caption "Russell and Alec making my life heaven on #rockofagesmovie," which may be a reference to the cover of the song "Heaven" by Warrant that the entire cast performs at one point in the original Broadway show that the movie is based on

Russell Brand Confirmed As Lonny In Rock Of Ages

Katey Rich — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 13:00:34 +0000

He's the right hand man to the club's owner Dennis Dupree, played by Alec Baldwin in the movie; yes, the world will soon be blessed with a duet between Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand as they sing REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling" and confess their true feelings for each other

New Arthur Poster Replaces The Bowler With Greta Gerwig

Josh Tyler — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 12:12:26 +0000

Here’s a new poster for Arthur, in which Russell Brand strikes a relaxing pose while uptight people look uptight standing around him. It’s a lot like the previous poster except instead of a bowler above Russell Brand’s head, we get Greta Gerwig. Greta Gerwig is good.

Hop Trailer: Russell Brand Poops Jelly Beans

Katey Rich — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 12:01:43 +0000

Honestly, if you're looking for the typical raunchy, envelope-pushing Russell Brand, that's not what you're going to find here, though you probably shouldn't have expected as much

Arthur Set Visit Interview: Greta Gerwig Encounters The Angry New Yorkers

Katey Rich — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 15:27:31 +0000

After making her name in small indies like Hannah Takes The Stairs Gerwig broke out big time in last year's Greenberg, which led to her snagging the lead role of Linda in Arthur

Arthur Set Visit Interview: Director Jason Winer Goes From Modern Family To The Movies

Kelly West — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 11:04:19 +0000

Winer makes a good case for retelling the story of a rich playboy who’s forced to choose between money and true love. Read below

Arthur Set Visit Interview: Russell Brand Leans On Improv And Innocence

Kelly West — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 10:47:38 +0000

Brand not only seemed at ease with his co-star but also comfortable with changing things up as director Jason Winer tweaked the scene, adjusting the dialogue slightly
