Win Tickets To See Russell Brand Live This Weekend!
Russell Brand's playing a show in the Albert Hall on Sunday. Tickets are like gold dust, we've heard. People would do anything for tickets. Which is ace, because we've got a pair of tickets to give away. It's the last time that Russell Brand will be performing his Scandalous show in London - if you want to see it after that, you'll have to buy his forthcoming DVD (out next Monday, fact fans) - so it promises to be something of a hoot. If you fancy winning this frankly quite brilliant prize, you'll need to take a look after the jump...

VMA Nominations: Beyonce & Lady Gaga Fight To The Death (Hopefully)
The MTV VMAs always excite - they only reward the best, most exciting, most innovative artists working today. Or Britney Spears, which is what happened last year. But given that no major pop stars have had terrifying nervous breakdowns and then agreed to make a documentary for MTV that's basically 90 minutes of them sobbing forlornly this year, hopefully the VMAs will be business as usual. Except this year's MTV VMA nominations have just been announced and, along with Beyonce, Lady Gaga has gained the most nods. So by 'business as usual' we mean 'tedious, deliberately controversial, badly dressed and worryingly mannish'.

TV Review: Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, BBC2, 16/03
Stewart Lee is to the world of comedy what pans are to a chef; pretty vital unless you want cold beans, and nobody wants cold beans. This man possesses razor sharp comic timing; somehow he can make any innocuous word comical. One small inflection or miniscule tweak of his expression conveys more than any amount of high pitched puerile drivel from the crosseyed one from Mock the Week or pretty much anyone from BBC Three.

Russell Brand Set To Ruin Pirates Of The Caribbean 4
Why are pirates ace? Because they AARRRRGGH! And what do most pirates eat when they're not at sea? Whopp-ARRRS. With the Pirates Of The Caribbean series being stupidly successful for Disney, it would only seem appropriate to squeeze out another film to, um, complete the trilogy. However that’s already been arsed up by Orlando Bloom not bothering to return to the seven seas. But fear not, for serial shagger and poor man’s Fonejacker Russell Brand is being lined up to play the brother of Captain Jack Sparrow. At the current rate, this film will be worth watching for a level of comedy casting not seen since Billy Connolly’s single wide-eyed expression in the latest X-Files movie.

David Duchovny Turns To Russell Brand For Advice On How To Stop Rogering Ladies
David Duchovny once starred in a grown-up edition of the popular kiddy ghost-chasing show Scooby Doo where he played agent Fox Mulder. With the help of his strangely attractive assistant Scully, they often found themselves in all sorts of situations where trees ate traffic lights and dolls controlled entire villages. Once the show ended, the duo failed to appear in any sort of credible TV show. Gillian Anderson even lowered herself to star in a film with cockney bellend Danny Dyer. But David Duchovny literally dropped off the radar altogether. He hadn’t died, though; instead he turned all his attention to having lots of sex. So much that he is now officially addicted to it. Instead of placing a thin line of cement over his spitting cobra, he decided that rehab was a better option to solve his problem. And now it turns out that 'rehab' at least partially involves reading Russell Brand's book.

Jordin Sparks Kind Of Sorry For Calling Everyone A Slut
So it looks like the big story of the MTV VMAs was the fight between teenagers who wear purity rings and all the other, cooler, teenagers. Much of this kerfuffle is down to American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, who took so much offence at host Russell Brand's mockery of abstinence that she marched up to the stage and threw a prissy little tantrum about it on live TV, basically calling all unmarried non-virgins 'sluts' in the process. Now that the dust has settled a little, though, Jordin Sparks is feeling a little bit sorry for herself. She still stands by the notion of purity rings, she says, but she wishes she hadn't called everyone a slut like that. And we have to agree with Jordin Sparks - we think the term she was reaching for was 'squalid Godless fornicating AIDS-carrying sodomites whose corpses will blister and writhe in hell for eternity'. We imagine.
