Gerbilgranny, your respect & courteous nature to fellow forum members & BB housemates is always noted.

But I'm afraid Russell Brand did cross the line... over to unfunny cowardice.

And yes, Russell Brand is worried that he his route to 'fame' will always be regarded via Kate Moss - as any decent alternative comedian will tell him.

You only have to check out Russell Brand's ego via the comments of Radio 2's Paul Gambochini. Paul said several Radio 2 producers have been sacked during the course of Brand's tenure on the station for daring to stand up to Brand & his z-list ego.

I have to admit that I didn't know he was connected to Kate Moss. I only knew of him through BBBM.

That column of India Knight's - I can't find a phrase in it with which I'd disagree.

Jonathan Ross might be down £1.4m; but I bet he's glad he didn't opt for one of those 'launch your own fragrance' deals - high street chains would be furiously emptying the shelves of 'Eau de Plonquer'. :roll:

Are the Daily Mail going to be sending a reporter to each of Russell Brand's shows, to check up on him?

I can't see what's so bad about saying 'Burlesque and erotica, I've been rethinking it of late'. In fact, I reckon if you went to one of Russell's shows (or Jonathan Ross's shows, for that matter), and there was no reference to the 'current palava', you'd feel a bit cheated.

It's not like he said anything that awful about Ms Bailie in the show.

(what he said to reporters elsewhere is a different matter - but maybe the Daily Mail didn't hear about that :-? )

All, the same, got to hand it to the Mail online - they believe in covering both angles of this important story - I note they are also running the following story:

Georgina Baillie and her Satanic ***** hit the stage in short skirts and ripped tights (but just 30 people turn up for the show)

Troubled times, indeed.

But I don't think the producers of 'Riverdance' need be too worried though. Maybe Georgina might be offered 'Strictly' though. Oh, I should stop this, right now. :x

As Ian Hislop said on HIGNFY, the career of the grand daughter of Andrew Sachs was irrelevant.

Russell Brand was a coward for that phonecall.

I agree. But the Mail seem very interested in her career.

Channel Five gets to the very bottom of the Brand-Ross scandal

Five's Sachsgate documentary finally gave a platform to the one person whose voice has been missing from the debate: Toby Anstis
