Russell Brand to release 'Greek' album?
Russell Brand will reportedly release an album as his Get Him To The Greek character Aldous Snow.
Alex Fletcher, Digital Spy, 28th April 2010Russell Brand and Andrew Sachs emerged from last year's scandal with their careers intact, but Sachs's grand-daughter Georgina Baillie looks like she's heading the way of Jonathan Ross. The one-time Goth stripper has filmed the pilot of a new vampire sitcom, and so far the critics have been less than enthusiastic. Vampire Georgina stars Baillie as a pretty young blood-sucker who confesses her misdemeanours to the camera from her bed. Manuel has gone down in TV history as one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time, but we fear the talent has failed to cascade down the generations. If you don't believe me, see for yourself at vampiregeorgina.com.

Sam Leith, The Guardian, 6th April 2010Russell Brand and Katy Perry deny break-up rumours

Ann Lee, Metro, 29th March 2010When the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand "Sachsgate" mini-drama fizzled away, the world in which I work was changed for ever by the c-word - compliance. I can no longer listen to programmes for reviewing purposes without them having been signed off by multiple layers of managers, especially and primarily at Radio 2. So I have not been able to enjoy the first of the returning series of one of my favourite radio comedies. I hope and imagine that this tale of a 38-year-old gamer, entirely at the mercy of his ruthless mother, will be as funny as the past two series. But whatever the content, we can, at least, be assured that it's ticked all the correct boxes.
Jane Anderson, Radio Times, 14th January 2010Lock up your granddaughters: Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross are reunited for the first time since Sachsgate as one of the teams on this annual topical ding-dong. Expect edgy banter from the controversial pair, alongside fellow panellists David Mitchell, Claudia Winkleman, Rob Brydon and Newswipe's Charlie Brooker. Jimmy Carr keeps score.
The Telegraph, 1st January 2010Andrew Sachs probably won't be tuning in for this one. Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are reunited on television for the first time since Sachsgate. However, this being Channel 4, don't expect a grovelling apology at the beginning but plenty of jokes about telephone calls, Spanish waiters and Satanic Sluts. Jimmy Carr is in the chair for what has become an annual festive highlight, poking fun at the biggest stories of the year. Ross and Brand have been cheekily paired together and up against them will be Claudia Winkleman and Rob Brydon and David Mitchell and the TV critic Charlie Brooker, making his first appearance. Peter Andre is among the celebrity questioners, but rumours that Tiger Woods will be appearing are wide of the mark.
