Spotted: Russell Brand, Man in Black

Russell Brand

Russell Brand is always a dashing figure in his dramatic long coats and skinny jeans, and today was no exception as he was spotted strolling home in London. Russ was wearing all black, save for the grey suede boots that he’s been wearing religiously the last few months.  Ever noticed that when Russ really likes an item of clothing, he’ll wear it until it falls apart?! Fortunately these boots are quite fetching and they go with everything!

According to his recent interviews on GMTV and Loose Women, Russell will be spending Christmas in London with his mother Barbara (and of course his beloved cat Morrissey). He’ll then be joining girlfriend Katy Perry and her parents in California for the New Year’s holidays.

What does Russ plan to buy Katy for Christmas? Find out below.

Russell Brand made a lot of fans happy today in London when he appeared at HMV Oxford Circus to sign copies of his new Scandalous DVD. Unofficial reports from fans attending the signing indicate that Brand has denied rumors that he’s moving to the US permanently, despite the fact that his Hampstead home has gone up for sale. Good news for those UK fans who don’t want lose Ol’ Russ to the States! We can just borrow him, eh?

Meanwhile, Brand joked yesterday on Twitter that he’d like his BBC radio gig back. In response to a trending topic about the BBC, he wrote: “Come on. It’s been a year. Can I have my job back?” He refers, of course, to the infamous “Sachsgate” scandal that caused him to resign from his Radio 2 show a year ago.

The controversy surrounding the BBC scandal is just one topic that Brand brilliantly covers on the new DVD … go pick it up!
