Russell Brand Denied Entry Into Canada Pranks Fans!
You got us!
Yesterday, Russell Brand wrote the following tweet about missing his show at the Casino Rama in Ontario:
"HELP! I'm gonna be late for Casino Rama show unless someone can force Canadian customs officials to let us land in Orillia."
"Tonight's Casino Rama show postponed. I'm sorry. I can't enter Canada. We must abolish the borders between our nations AND our minds."
We were bummed to hear it…but NOW it appears that he was messing with us! Here's what the Canadian casino had to say about it via Twitter:
"Ok all, let's be clear, @rustyrockets is still in Cali, he never left, he has no immigration or border issue, it was a tech issue with plane!"
And here's what Casino Rama spokeswoman Jenna Hunter had to say about it:
"I think he's trying to be witty about the whole thing, but it really was just a plane issue, it wasn't a customs issue at all."
What do U think about Russell Brand's prank? Funny, or not so much???

yes, abolish the borders so celebrities can make their appointments. in the meantime Russell, take a shower.
this is lame.. why would you even joke around that you are going to let down your fans.. =/
Well, I think it just shows how many media outlets are willing to report something without check facts. PerezHilton being one of them.
Yes, because every little town in Canada has an international airport to clear visitors just like Britain…
Actually, I heard he didn't get off the ground in CA due to plane tech trouble. All bogus.
Not funny Russell!
Hilarious! Especially the part when he made Canadian Customs look like a bunch of jackasses.
In all seriousness though, it's hilarious how gullible media outlets are. You can feed them a load of bullshit, and they'll eat it all up before doing the research. I read this elsewhere, yesterday. The media just loves to jump on anything they can get yet like to take their sweet time in correcting their mistakes.
I DO NOT FIND HIM HUMOROUS OR TALENTED WHAT SO EVER!
wasn't funny, he's just another egotistical un-talented asswipe
What a jerk. And the media is idiotic for not doing some basic fact checking.
Maybe he is just too dumb to tell the difference between trouble with the plane and not being allowed to enter a country.
