“She’s a really big fan of ‘The Only Way Is Essex’.
“When she did her tour she said on stage, ‘Does anybody watch ‘The Only Way Is Essex’? I love it’.”

A report in today’s Independent claims that Andrew Sachs – who was of course subject to a ‘prank call’ from Jonathon Ross and Russell Brand – has himself pulled a similar stunt.
Just as the fuss over Call-Gate was beginning to die down, the paper claims that in the ‘80s, Sachs was a guest on his son’s radio show for Swansea Sound when a prank call was made to a member of the public.
Apparently, Sachs pretended to be the woman’s “long lost uncle” from Australia and during the call, he told the unsuspecting lady that he’d left Australia after “some trouble with the police” and went on to joke that he’d buried some jewels under a tree in a park. Read more & comment »

Russell Brand last year left E4 TV show, Big Brother’s Big Mouth to pursue other projects. But on a stint in the Celebrity Hijack house yesterday, Brand admitted that he’d love to return to the show.
He said: “It’s lovely to be back here. I’ve half a mind to ask for my old job back.
“But those boys, James and Matt are doing such a tremendous job that I’d be very lucky to be reinstated.”

The troubled Big Brother show has reportedly lost two of its presenting team for this summers series as well as its sponsor.
Earlier this year the crazy yet loveable, Russell Brand revealed that he would not be presenting Big brothers E4 follow up show, Big Brother’s Big Mouth. Then earlier this week, the delectable Dermot O’Leary was announced as the next X factor presenter.
Dermot has not yet said if he will be continuing with Big Brothers Little Brother, but surely with a schedule as busy as the X factor’s he wouldn’t have time for both.
If Channel 4 has indeed lost both male presenters, just who will join Davina McCall this year in bringing the grand-daddy of reality Tv shows back to our screens?
I would like to see Justin Lee Collins take over the late night Big Brother’s Big Mouth….does anyone else have any suggestions?

Big Brother’s Big Mouth will be returning to our screens this May with the launch of Big Brother 8 but unfortunately Russell Brand will not be presenting it.
Russell Brand has decided to quit the show after he rose from being a relative unknown to a household name in a matter of months.
An insider said: “In the last few years he’s gone from being a relative unknown to one of the biggest names on TV. And success like that brings a lot of exciting offers. He just felt the time was right to move on.”
I wonder if the show will survive without Russell? His zany humour and crazy stunts made the show as popular as it was…can it continue without him? Time will tell….

Big Brother’s Russell Brand
Â
How can anyone be so revoltingly disgusting and irreverent and yet so caring, wise and loyal? Sorry if I am ruining your ‘bad boy’ image Russell but I think there is a side to you that could cancel out the foul mouthed, kindergarten sexual talking and disrespect of Christianity. Underneath it all, you are a really nice guy who has had your fair/unfair share of knocks.
Â
It was an interesting final show last night, with Shilpa Shetty, no surprises here, winning for political reasons or for her virtues…we will never know which. She had tough competition with Danielle Lloyd, amongst others, who might have won if it had not been for the over publicised Jade Goody ‘differences’. This was pointed out by someone in Russell Brand’s audience last night. As some one else in the audience said, when asked how he felt about Shilpa sitting on the throne, ‘Sorry Shilpa but I would have preferred to see Jade there’.
Â
Yet another person in the audience said, if Shilpa could forgive whatever was said or done to her in the house then why can’t the rest of the world? Shilpa called for all this to be put in the past and said Jade had not been racist in anyway, nor anyone else. Danielle Lloyd made a public statement that she was not a racist, hand in hand with Shilpa at the press conference. As many (including Shilpa) said, it was just a game and EVERYONE in the house had been guilty of saying unpleasant things about each other so I suppose they are ALL being called to forgive one another. Shilpa might have won anyway as she is very beautiful and gracious but at what a price she now wears the crown. Three lives destroyed by the public and media through behaviour and words that were no worse than in past Big Brother shows. (How many of us have lost our tempers and said things we should not have and got away with it and yet such harsh punishment on others has been meted, who are no worse than we are ourselves?) There has been a call for tolerance but maybe, through all this, we ALL have learnt the importance of watching our words as they can build or destroy.
