Comic spreads Christmas cheer
| Quote: | Russell Brand has given a homeless man £500 so he could spend Christmas with his family.
The comic handed over the cash when he was approached by the Big Issue salesman outside Harrods earlier in the week.
The man told Brand he wanted to go home for Christmas, but couldn’t afford it. So the star dipped into his pocket and handed over the cash, reducing the homeless man to tears.

Is Russell trying to show us that he's not such a twat after all ?
And who told the papers (or whoever reported this incident) about this ?
Hmmmm... |

Russell and I both know rock 'n roll mess Courtney Love. The bizarre thing is that she often confuses my number in her phone with Russell's and will send me text messages or voicemails intended for him. She always speaks very sweetly (and usually quite incoherently) to me (thinking I'm Russell), so I think Mr Brand is okay in my books if Courtney has taken a shine to him.
PP: Russell's assistant told me once that Courtney makes the same wrong number mistake with her. So the moral of this story is...if you become Courtney Love's mate, you too can also become Russell Brand and selflessly give £500 to Big Issue Salesmen!

I rather doubt it.
If Max Clifford was involved then the stunt would have been on a grander scale and would have merited a little more than a 50 word nib in The Sun. |
