So how’s Russell Brand doing these days?

According to our source he’s doing just fine. Russell was glad to have an excuse to get out of the BBC contract, which he felt was holding him back. It’s also allowed him more time in LA to concentrate on his film career.

And the mighty Brand just added more dates to his 2009 tour:
18th Feb Plymouth Pavilion
20th Feb Nottingham Arena
22nd Feb Edinburgh Playhouse
26th Feb Birmingham The NIA Academy
28th Feb Bournemouth BIC

No press is bad press right?
