Russell Brand has a show on Radio 2 on Saturday nights, if you don't like the look of him - a face for radio?

Regards his sexuality - it's a bit like David Walliams, and Robbie Williams to an extent. A cynical marketing exercise at it's most basic level. If you declare you're hetrosexual, you run the risk of alienating a large market ("the pink pound"), and vice versa. So I would hazard a guess that to declare one's self as "metrosexual" or better yet, not declare at all, allows you to widen your market potential.

Metrosexual? Never heard that one before. Used to call my BIL a faux-mosexual, he recons it helped him with the ladies?!!

Well, one does one's best in terms of looking as good as one can...

I don't know whether I almost like him or almost dislike him.I'm sure there's a lot more behind the persona that the public see though.
"Mazed" is what the Cornish would call him!!

Beckham's what you'd call 'Metrosexual', very well groomed & new mannish & appeals to gay men.
Russell Brand was on BBC Four last night in a sort of documentary he made in America with his mate off the radio. They were following Jack Kerouac's trip from 'On The Road' & talking to people who knew him. Apparently Jack Kerouac & the characters in the book were some of Russell's heroes when he was growing up & he would like to emulate their ethos of living without fear & seizing the day & not conforming to the norm. It was quite interesting & funny & luckily I had read the book so it did mean something to me even though I didn't like the 'Beat Generation' jazz poetry type stuff (don't think Russell was too keen on a group of old guys playing jazz behind him whilst he read some poetry either!).Russell did say he's been clean for 5 years now but interestingly not that drugs are bad & he shouldn't have ever taken them just that he had to stop because he'd lost his job & the drugs were killing him. His mate said that Russell attended AA meetings in various towns in the U.S. during their trip so it's obviuosly still a struggle for him.I'm hoping O.H. has taken the hint & bought me his 'My Bookie Wook' for Christmas, I think it'll be an interesting read. I've read some of his football columns as well, he's a big West Ham fan, & they're hilarious & very heartfelt.
