For once I can use a NSFW label!
My uncharacteristic-and-entirely-platonic obsession with Russell Brand hasn't taken over my lj in quite the same way it has my facebook profile. Still, I've been laughing a lot today (and also shaking my head and saying, "WHO BEHAVES THIS WAY?"), and it's all because of him, so I'm doing the sharing thing.
Now, I don't like P. Diddy or Diddy or whatever he's calling himself today, but the idea that he and Russell Brand are "obvious chums" and should have TV show where they fight crime and at the end of each episode that "maybe we ain't so different" fills me with glee. This clip of his interview with Jay Leno is hilarious (and also short).
Not so short is his Fresh Air interview with Terry Gross, but I love it. I think the main reason I love him so much is his vocabulary. Which is a stupid reason to adore someone, but it's true nonetheless. I wish everyone spoke this way, seriously.
Also, I read My Booky Wook a few weeks ago, and he's a really good writer. Most celeb memoirs are painful to read even if the subject matter is interesting (what do I know? I don't read those unless they're written by Carrie Fisher, who is also hilarious), but his book solidified my desire to hang out with him all the time and give him Feminism 101 lectures and tell him when he's crossed the line and talk about Foucault and Helen Mirren and old British TV shows and laugh.
