Russell Brand Is In Trouble
Wino's twin brother, Russell Brand, and his prank calling partner, Jonathan Ross, were suspended by the BBC today after leaving gross messages on the voicemail of 78-year-old Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs. The pre-recorded show aired during Russell's Saturday night time slot.
In the voicemails, the two tell Andrew that Russell fucked his granddaughter Georgina Baillie. They also joked that Andrew Sachs might kill himself after finding this shit out. Above is the offending clip. I listened to the whole thing and I want my 9-minutes back so that I can use it for something productive like cleaning my dildo. Nothing offends me anymore, but it did give me a slight headache. I think our childhood crank calling sessions were more interesting than this shit.
The BBC received around 18,000 complaints. Because of this, they have announced that both Russell and Jonathan's shows are temporarily suspended while they investigate this shit. Russell makes around £200,000 a year for his show and Jonathan Ross makes £6 million a year for his hosting duties.
The Prime Minister even commented on this fuckery, “This is clearly inappropriate and unacceptable behavior, as is now widely recognized. Ofcom have said they will investigate the matter and it is for the BBC, the BBC Trust and Ofcom to take any appropriate action.”
Andrew Sachs said that he was not surprised about the suspension, but he isn't going to report the matter to the police. WHAT?! Go to jail for talking trash?! I'm a goner.
Andrew's granddaughter, who performs as Volptua in a burlesque group called the Satanic Sluts, told The Sun that she wants them both fired for her humiliating her. She said, “Russell Brand has embarrassed me by making a private relationship very public in the cruelest way imaginable. We were lovers but I trusted him as a friend as well. He has betrayed me for a few cheap laughs and left my grandfather distraught. Is that what the BBC calls entertainment?”
Okay, what's more embarrassing here? The world knowing that you effed Russell Brand? Or the fact that you're in a group called the Satanic Sluts? Click here to see Volptua's MySpace.
And here's some pictures of Russell dressed as Lindsay HoHan as he leaves his home and THE CLINIC (dun dun dun) in London yesterday.
UPDATE: Russell Brand quit that bitch today. He issued this statement: "I have apologized to Andrew Sachs for the rude messages I left on Oct 18th and he has graciously accepted. As I only do the radio show to make people laugh I've decided that given the subsequent coverage I will stop doing the show."

Russell Brand is not funny. No big loss to the world that he quit his show.
Wow, I found that incredibly not offensive. Oh well. I like Russell Brand, he makes me laugh sometimes (especially on Big Fat Quiz of the Year and I can't wait to see him on Buzzcocks today), but Wossy is so goddamn annoying. Seriously, that guy is so full of himself for no discernible reason.
Sexy and beautiful bikini babe! It's hard to find a proper word to describe her. BTW, there is a rumor that she is datingA hot guy called Michael or something. They met on the hot WEALTHYBEAUTY datingSite..............W e a l t h y F i n d e r . c o m ..............Don't know
Heh, my grandfather would be far more distraught over me performing with a burlesque group with a name like Satanic Sluts than the world finding out I'd screwed Russell Brand....

100% in agreement Dreamy! Where I work we have TVs on our desks as well as our computer, and I had it on Sky News and they literally talked about it ALL DAY LONG. I wanted to shoot someone...and I still can't believe Gordon Brown said anything about this shit. Even David Cameron said something too. GAH
---------------------------------------------
In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
he was so brutally unfunny at the vmas
The skank deserves what she gets for sleeping with Russell Brand, I just feel sorry for her grandfather, and on what planet is that prank funny?
I don't think MK did the story justice.
Ross and Brand prerecorded the show, BBC bosses, after listening to the show, let it air. Most people want to know how it got approval. I think that's one of the biggest complaints, editors didn't do their jobs.
Sachs couldn't care less and mostly wants an apology for his granddaughter (Brand and Ross had already apologised to him before it became this big news story).
I'm not sure that many people even listen to Brand's show. Last Saturday I think only a one or two people actually complained. Thanks to the papers and YouTube, everyone got wind of it and now the complaints have rolled in.
haha - I feel bad for Russell but come on... Andrew is a national treasure. And that granddaughter is probably over the moon at all the publicity.
And I get to watch swear words and nakedness during prime time in Canada on the CBC because we believe that it is not up to the broadcasters to protect your children - you are supposed to do that yourselves. hahahaaha
long live CBC
DreamyAguileraEyes ...Thanks for clearing that up. I'm not being sarcastic. I'll not look in Andrew's direction with evil eyes anymore.
Like your eyes by the way...:O)

People are pissed because those poor bastards in the UK have to pay for the BBC.
Can you imagine if they did that in America? Those Jesus freaks would ruin everything (even worse then they already do). Thank God HBO and Showtime have gone the other way and allow for blood sex and weed smoking moms.
Although I am a little disappointed Showtime stopped using their slogan "The Best Shit on Television". I pay $25 a month for free use of the words fuck, shit, cum shot, etc. and I expect to hear (and see it) damn it!
Well its nice to know that in the UK moral outrage is triggered over something other than jsut race and sexual preference.
Men in leggings. Licorice legs. Bwhahhahaaaa ha. And the horse would like it's coat back.
Wanker.
edit spellimg
I honestly and truly thought he was gay after seeing him on Leno. Now I don't like him at all.

Andrew Sachs needs to find his sense of humor for God sakes......Or God Sachs...

Andrew is NOT the one making the fuss. I watched him to a quick intreview about this. He's accepted their apologies, though he says, he didn't ask for any, he does however want them to apoogise to his granddaughter. The The British PUBLIC that's making a song and dance about it. TWO people complained at the start, then it got into the net and the press picked up and ran with it. Even a PM who quite frankly needs to STFU and do his fucking godman job, made a comment about this! It's fucking stupid, but like I said, Andrew Sachs is a true gentleman and is NOT the one that's making a song and dance about this - you can blame the Britsh media & public for that.

I've just been discharged from my local accident and emergency ward. Never, in my life, have I ever been so offended, shocked and appalled I was when I saw these men in my newspaper this morning.
Thirteen simultaneous heart attacks. The only thing that kept me going was the promise of logging on here and sharing my disgust.

When did the Britsh go and get all....Puritainy....Isn't that us Yanks jobs? Getting all bent out of shape about a phone call.
Andrew....Your grand daughter is part of a satanic burlesque group. Hate to send you the memo, but sleeping with Russell Brand
may be the best thing she has ever done.
God that pisses me off. People that were funny, lose there humour when they are the butt of the joke.
Somehow I think John Inman would have taken this so much better.
I know he would have never had a grand child, but maybe a grand niece or something.

The entertainment industry sucks major monkey balls, that's all. I don't know who this dumbass is and I don't care. Prank calls are stupid to start with and if that's the best this homeless-looking douche can do, then he can retire early to start collecting empty cans in the trash.

oops, double post.. computer doing a Russel Brand (pissing me off and bahaving like a cunt)
I step out of the country for a few minutes and a bunch of talentless cunts seem to be running rampant.
As for this super-cunt Brand.. he just comes across as one of those awkward, talentless characters with no style who try oh so hard to be trendy. You and your stylist are flipping through the wrong magazines my boy.
We have so many brilliant comedians back home, how does someone like this make... a living?
Talentless hacks like this are in need of a jolly good slapping. Slowly but surely, the country is going down the toilet due to the acceptance of sub-standard artists and mediocrity in general.

NoAnjl loves me and i love her, deal with it!
This is why I hate "comedians" -- maybe one in a thousand is actually funny, and all the rest are sleazeballs who think random nastiness = funny.
Let's face it, we all loved seeing Manuel get bopped on the head by Basil. But it's not funny picking on an eighty-year-old man who was funnier in one scene of Faulty Towers than these douchebags have ever been. (Such as the scene where he turns up drunk and appears to be getting all gay with Basil)
And come on, is sending obscene messages to little old grandfathers and joking about giving them heart attacks acceptable? Parisdouches.
Though I gotta say that if your granddaughter is a stripper in a group called the Satanic Sluts, is it really a surprise? I mean, I don't care that she got called out for having sex with Brand because we already know she has rotten taste!
I just think it sucks that her poor grandpa got sucked into this nastiness when he probably tries to ignore it.
As fnug7 points out, the BBC is tax funded, and as such (and for other reasons), they should bloody well listen if they get 18,000 complaints. It doesn't matter whether all those people complained before the tabloids created a shitstorm over it or not - if that number of people are offended, then it's bloody well time to get those buggers off the telly. Jebus only knows how the hell they ended up there in the first place.
Personally, I think the message is in bad taste, but what makes it truly embarrassing is the way they spur each other on. Like two little boys on the playground, admitting to all sorts of shit to impress their mates. The way Jonathan Ross blurts out "he fucked your granddaughter" just says it all to me. If the BBC drops these buggers, I say good riddance.
Hey Brand you are not funny and you are NOT
a sexy man (I'm not sure what you are? a bearded lady?) please go away...PLEASE. or at least shut your weird looking mouth
Russell Brand is effing HOT!

And I'm the one who loves you when You're fucking Dead!
Wow. Ashton Kutcher would be so dead in the UK. Still, what's all the hubbub, bub? This isn't anything different than your average US shock jock gets up to every day - most sane and normal people ignore it. I have no particular love for Russell Brand, and Jonathan Ross has always seemed like a perfectly unctuous self-satisfied slimeball to me, but I think the BBC is being a little harsh with them. I guess that's what you get when your TV stations are owned by the government. Here in the US we have equal opportunity public humiliation! With impunity! FREE RUSSELL! Ross can stay suspended, though.
Que?
I can't finish this for 2 reasons..feel sorry for the funny Sachs & CAN'T STAND BRAND (sorry but I'm in Kanye West mood)
It's only really a big deal over here cos firstly the papers (mainly The Sun & the Daily Mail) are stirring it up...apparently the show went out, got a few complaints but nothing major, then it got reported in the papers & the next day tons of complaints come flooding in.
But it's also a big deal here (& this is where this whole escapade annoys me too) is the fact that the BBC is funded by the public through taxes so our money is going towards paying for this & these guy's shitty idea of entertainment. That's what annoys me, not what they did, just the fact that my taxes are paying for them to do it.
Not funny.
Funny people have been losing their "funniness" lately. I have been noticing that a lot.

The only thing I know Russell Brand from is "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and he was hilarious, so he gets a pass from me, especially about insulting someone who performs in "Satanic Sluts."
He just has "stinky penis" written all over his face dont he?
Stinky Penis!

As a Brit I am horrified by the stupidity of all of this.
Who cares? There's so much more going on in the world.
Only TWO people had complained before the media turned this in to something much bigger than it is.
Let's not forget that this grandfather insulted a whole nation by his portrayal of the Spanish. He should be ashamed of that, but also by his hideous "grand" daughter who is a satanic slut and no doubt laughing all the way to the bank with this free publicity.
I can't wait for this to be over
Humph

Unfunny.
Why do people think Russell Brand is funny? Is it his fucked up, high maintenance girlie hair, or illiterate speech pattern?

I don't understand how a "Sex Worker" can be embarrassed by a man saying he slept with her.

I am sure her dear grand daddy knows shes up to a lot worst than simply having sex with a man!

And why the hell did she admit to it and who exactly was he screwing?
