Chatting With…. Russell Brand
Filed under: Exclusives! > Personally Perez > Anglophilia > Russell Brand > Chatting With...We caught up with British funny man Russell Brand, and of course we taped our lovely video chat for your viewing pleasure.
The Winehouse-coiffed comedian definitely brings the LOLs!
We talked to him about his gig hosting the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, why Brits are the worst tourists in the world (according to a new poll), and - of course - the elephant in the room.

I LOVE RUSSELL BRAND
I absolutely LOVE Russell Brand! Not only is he hilarious, but he is incredibly charming! He's definitely had his struggles in life, but I'm so glad he is finally successful. He deserves it!
i'm not the inventor of sex i just like to propagate it. hahaha. he's kinda hot. hmmm… yes definitely.
"the elephant in the room", Perez, do U mean YOU!?!? -ZING! j/k don't hate me I love you Perez!
He seems funny - love the accent
what an annoying accent
i love russeell! most of us folk do over here. he wqas a big druggie and alcoholic but he sorted that out maybe 4 or 5 years ago? I met him in KoKO in camden a few years a go and he was lovlier than pie!
Re: Daisha loves Perez – Ugh, who doesn't do coke? Coke iz so 80s anywayz, it's all about Ice now! =oD
That made my brain hurt.
hahah ahhhh Russell!!! LOVE him!!!!
He kissed me at the St Trinians premiere YAY
And LOL love the Jonas Brothers bit as i also LOVE them!
Sweetie, you're quite not the prat I thought you were and kudos for recognizing his brilliance but "being a bit of an anglophile" isn't enough - the guy was taking the piss and you looked a bit damp. Brave attempt, though, and Respect for plugging him on your site…
Perez - WTF? Couldn't you ask something that wasn't rude? Being rude for rude's sake is not funny - you need to brush up on your interviewing skills, friend.
oh russell brand is the best!
his sooo funny live!
love him!
xo
i think we'd all like to do the jonas brothers :]
didn't know of him until he was chosen to host the VMA's ,

Hottest man alive.
I love him so much.
He is so sexy and has a lovely smile.
I want him so bad.

I'm so shocked no one knows who he is. I love this guy, actually both you guys. But Russell Brand is amazing, yeah, soooooo funny. Watch him on Friday Night with Jonathon Ross, the eppy with Daniel Craig.
He is a trip!! And I loved his promos with Britney Spears! "What's my name?" That shit cracked me up!
love him!
Lol yes how did Scouserland become capital of culture??
its the capital of chavs nothing else!!!
Calm Down !! Calm Down!!
how do u know russell, perez?
love him! so damn funny
what a sarcastic ass. he is so full of himself. i don't find him one bit funny. i will probably watch it after it's done so i can fast foward through all of his parts.
Russell Brand is hilarious x) though im fearing people in the us may not understand his sense of humor…oh well, the guy is amazingg
Russell Brand is so awesome and Perez you did an amazing job.
You two need to take over the world!!!
I dont know who he is but he sounds, look, is pretty funny! I cant wait until sunday!!!

Russell Brand is sex
I usually adore Brand but he seemed different here..
He's fabulous nonetheless.

Nobody in america even knows who Russel Brand is-he's annoying as fuck. What genius decided to let him host the MTV awards?
I'm excited…I like this guy!
Russell is the best!!!
Can't believe you didn't know he was a standup Perez. You sure do your research… You were rude to him, there's no need for that.
I knew who he was BEFORE the ROXY!
Suck on that!
Re: CeeJay – I've often noticed that he seems quite different in interviews…either he is bored (which makes me sad) or they just sort of make him uncomfortable.
Maybe if you'd stop asking rude questions, Perez, and take a chance to actually find out how funny he is, THEN you could have a real "chat" as opposed to a totally awkward and uncomfortable interview and you'd see his true side. :] Personally, I think you would be an excellent guest on his radio show!
hes so great best brit export to us
when you see him on sunday youll laugh youre heads off, you rock mate 
give them hell from the brit geezers
he's sorta a babe and I love his accent.
This guy is funny as hell. The first time I saw him was on Letterman awhile back. HILARIOUS.
i love him! he is so funny
"Scandal! Excitement! Wonderment! The very fings that are your liveblood, Perez!"
I hope he and Noel Fielding have a thousand comedy babies together, all with tight pants and eyeliner.
Erm, "lifeblood." Whoops.
I LOVE Russel!
Russell is totally awesome! I hope the VMAs go really well for him! His UK hosting work has been marvelous. "Russell Brand; what a cunt" lmao!
Re: Seduce – I had this avatar first !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's got a Jack Sparrow look going on with him..I like.
perez has been omitting britney from like 6 months ., he can't do it
uh-oh he's after the jonas brothers…boys better super glue their purity rings!!
i cant wait to see russell! loooooooove him~and he can wear my ring around his neck any time!
Ah he's so great!
I love his style & attitude.♥
This is quite possibly the best post ever.
Theres no one better than Russ (:
Its a shame he's not more well known.
He is great and funny you are not Piggy!
I saw Russell Brand on the Graham Norton show on BBC America. He's was so much fun to watch. I never watch the MTV awards shows but I'll be watching this one because he's hosting.
aww gotta love russell. sooo cute. americans are gonna love him!
He really started getting angry for a bit. lol
He's more interesting to have as a host of the MTV awards then anyone I can think of. He seems like he has a brain, from clips I have seen, that's a plus and he has not been Hollywoodafied. So no cookiecutter there.
It was cool that you broke his outer shell like that.
He was a little too bored until you did that.
I still don't know the slams he said to you and what they meant but tit for tat and all that.
russell brand is a hottie and can get it any day at any time
Russell is just an absolute hottie. I can't wait to see him on Sunday and hope he is just like he is on his radio show.
Russell will do great on MTV as long as he dosen't get too crude cause Americans are not like us Brits
PEREZ how cool was that interview??? VERY COOL and funny Russell baby.. I am your new fan…
lol he cracks me up
anybody remember him on Big brothers big mouth??? "………..my ball bags u swine!!!"
One of the worst interviews I have ever seen. Anyone who doesn't get a good comment out of Russell Brand clearly has no place in the media industry. Either go and train as a journalist, Perez, or get a job as a garbage man. You had eight minutes with one of the funniest, most controversial British celebrities, and you blew it.
Chances are I'm his only Italian fan….and I'm damn proud of it! seriously though, he's a gentleman and one of the best stand up comedians ever.Can't wait to see him at the VMAs. Totally agree with those who say that the interview could have been waaaaay better….
I love him,
.
He's hilarious.
Perez,
you're an idiot though.
Re: Lola2103 –
LOL.
Calm Down Calm Down.
Hilairious.
HATE to not know who Russell is.
He is wonderful.
He will be the best host of the VMA's to date.
I live in Liverpool.
If I saw Perez and Russell partying it up, I wouldn't be accountable for my actions.
mmmmm.
Ohh Thanks Perez! I love Russell Brand he's freekin hilarious. Sunday night should be extremely entertaining. Cheers!
Could he be any more British "Ta Da" My mum says that when she's on the phone lmao.
He really is a good stand up artist… can't wait for the VMA's
What a sexy man! Yummy!
ahaha,i love him!
x3
I think he is a gem — he's an intelligent wit, and makes me laugh every time I see him.
I would love to have his baby!
OMG! I LOVE THIS GUY! CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE VMAs!!!
Perez~that was brillant, too much fun~loved the Q's you flipped!
hes a boring tit these days man,
all his best work was when he was a skaghead
re:brand and dfc an tha.
cant wait to watch..bet he's fun to party with….piles and piles of fun
Honestly, I don't know if anyone's mentioned this but it seemed that Russell was a bit annoyed with you, Perez. By no means tremendously annoyed - but just a bit. It was when you asked a couple questions about English people.
Otherwise, he's Great. Very sexy. And soo tall and cute and funny and I think he'll be awesome as the host.
HAHHA i love russel brand, so effing funny
Great interview! love russell cant wait for the vmas!
I just love that guy! I find him very charming and funny.
LOVE russell. he totally batted away your rude, arrogant questions everytime. if you dont know who he is you SHOULD hes a comical genius. you on the other hand perez, are just a fat uncultured yank. take a look at your own country before you slag off other peoples.
you ignorants don't know Russel Brand?? he's awesome!
love him and Noel
Russel Brand is one of the COOLEST and SEXIEST men in the entire universe ever!
I LOVEEEEEEE HIM
i hope this year will be better then last year's VMA's
that SUCKED
