Russell Brand has reportedly been given strict rules to abide by when he presents this years MTV Video Music Awards.

Russell has been warned by TV bosses that there are specific things he must not say.
Russell said, “I’ve been warned when I’m presenting there are two things I’m never allowed to say.
“One, C***, and two, Scientology.
“There is one sentence that could join both of those words but I’m going to try and not say it.”

Russell has said he is worried he won’t be able to control his tongue.
He said, “I have a real problem when people tell me not to do something.
“When I was going to meet the Queen of England, the protocol people told me how to bow, not to curtsy and not to speak until I was spoken to.
“But all I could think of was, ‘Grab her t*t.’ ”

Russell also joked that he hates not being famous in America.
He said, “People say you must enjoy it that no one knows you’re famous in America but I hate it.
“Without fame, this haircut makes me look like someone with a mental illness.
“I want everyone to know who I am.
“I have to carry a laptop around with me so I can explain I am a celebrity.”
“I’ve prostituted YouTube so much I call it MeTube now. I tap ‘R’ into Google and it comes up ‘Russell’ straight away. It is so bored of me.”

Russell Brand has previously worked for MTV, but he was sacked when he turned up for work on 12 September 2001, dressed as Osama bin Laden.

The MTV Video Music Awards will be held in September in Los Angeles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Russell Brand is well know for his outrageous humour, so it seems odd to me that he was hired to present the MTV Music Video Awards, and then told he can’t say certain things.
What was the point of the organisers employing the comic genius that is Russell Brand if they are going to censor him?
It is ridiculous, and I’m not sure Russell will be able to control his mishchievious instincts either.
Russell should be allowed to be his usual flamboyant, zany, eccentric self, it would definitely be much more entertaining than forcing him to conform to this politically correct nonsense.

LIECHTENSTEIN

Courtney Love has reportedly admitted that hypnotist Paul McKenna is responsible for her recent weight loss.

Courtney publicly thanked Paul McKenna for helping her to shed pounds and stay in control of her weight.
Courtney admitted that she contacted Paul McKenna after she gained weight when kicking her drug addictions.
She said, “I’ve known Paul for years.
“I lost weight last year the old-fashioned way by dieting and living off protein shakes.
“But it was hard to stay disciplined.
“He’s brilliant and is totally responsible for me staying so skinny.
“Whenever I start to feel my resolve weaken, I go to Paul for another hypnosis session.”

Not everyone is happy with Paul McKenna though, it seems that Courtney’s friends are reportedly worried that she is now dangerously thin.

One friend said, “She is skeletal now. Her weight would always yo-yo depending on whether she was doing drugs or not but then she cleaned up her act in rehab and replaced drugs with food.
“But Courtney is an addict and now she is addicted to losing weight.
“She looks terrible. She needs to put on a stone at least.
“Ever since she’s been seeing McKenna for hypnosis sessions, she’s lost more weight.
“It doesn’t look good but she thinks he’s a genius.”

LUXEMBOURG

Kate Hudson has reportedly split from Lance Armstrong.
Kate and Lance were first linked when they were spotted kissing at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

They reportedly split because of constant bickering over their travel schedules which drove them apart.
A friend reportedly said that Kate made one last attempt to save the relationship last week by travelling to see Lance in Ohio for his Livestrong Summit.
The friends said, “They both decided it wasn’t feasible.”

Another source revealed that Kate and Lance had a big blowout a week ago and Lance stormed off.
The source said, “They didn’t talk for like five days.”

Apparently the break-up was a mutual decision.
A source said, “There was no drama or ugliness, they just decided to end things.
“There is no hatred, just sadness.”

Liz Hurley is the latest celebrity to get involved in a reality TV show.
The usually glamorous Liz will appear on a show about her real everyday life on her farm.
Instead of seeing Liz dressed in couture gowns and perfectly coiffeured hair, viewers will be able to see her wearing muddy wellies and casual clothes.

Liz and her hubby Arun Nayar own a sprawling 400 acre estate in Ampney Knowle near Cirencester, in Gloucestershire, England, where they keep chickens and sheep.
Liz has even reportedly signed up to a pig breeding group in preparation for her new show.
She said, “I’m a farmer because it’s a working farm. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s the only place I want to be.
“And when we get out organic status we’re going to farm properly and have a herd of cows and Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs.
“I’ve joined the breeders club. I’m quite excited about it.
“People always imagine me with perfect hair. But that’s not who I am.
“The first time he saw me in the country, my husband found me in wellies, covered in mud.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liz Hurley was recently criticism by PETA because she included meat in her organic cookbook.
Liz also upset PETA by asking for pure-bred animals as gifts for her lavish wedding, to be raised for slaughter.
PETA recently urged Liz to spare the animals on her farm.

I’m sure PETA will be glued to their TV screens when this show goes on air.

THE NETHERLANDS

Kevin Federline was asked about his recent legal battles with his ex-wife Britney Spears.
When was asked about his custody arrangement, and the fact that his child support was increased from $15,000 to $20,000, Kevin said, “I’m not here to talk about that.”

Wow!
I never thought I’d say this, but I respect that fact that Kevin refused to talk about it.

Kevin Federline was at the ‘Ryan Sheckler X Games Celebrity Skim Classic’ gold tournament when he was interviewed.
Although Kevin wouldn’t discuss his recent legal battles, he did talk about parenting.
When he was asked if his responsibilities to his children have become overwhelming, he said, “It is what it is. I don’t know how to explain that, I am who I am, I love where I am at.”

When asked about the constant media scrutiny he lives under, he said, “I don’t know, I just don’t pay attention to it I guess.
“I don’t watch TV, no Internet, its pretty awesome actually, gives me a lot more time to spend with my family and my friends.”

Kevin also said, “Been having a good summer, I can’t complain.
“I’ve worked here and there a little bit.
“But I’ll be definitely staying at home with the family.”

When asked how his sons with Britney Spears; Sean Preston, 2 ½, and Jayden James, 1 ½, were doing, Kevin said, “They’re good.
“They know when daddy’s golfing.”

Kevin Federline was reportedly shocked that Britney Spears pursue winning custody of their two young sons.
Kevin gained sole custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James, earlier this month, after an 18-month court battle.
Kevin now has his hands full being a full-time parent to Sean Preston and Jayden James, as well as his daughter, Kori, and son, Kaleb, from his previous relationship with Shar Jackson.

Despite the ruling in their custody case, Kevin Federline has reportedly said he wants Britney to take an active role in bringing up their sons.
A source said, “Kevin loves his sons, but he didn’t aim for sole custody.
“He wanted to be a co-parent and didn’t expect Britney not to fight for custody.
“He never wanted full responsibility.
“He believes both parents should take an active role.
“It’’s tough being a single parent, plus he already has another two children.”

Maybe Britney wanted Kevin to experience being a full time single parent to Sean Preston and Jyden James, just as she was when Kevin was reportedly out partying and enjoying himself in Las Vegas?

Kate Moss is reportedly planning to have a baby with on/off boyfriend Jamie Hince.

Kate and Jamie reportedly split recently over Kate’s desire to get pregnant. They have since reunited after Jamie reportedly changed his mind about Kate’s baby making plans.
Kate Jamie are currently on holiday in party hotspot Ibiza.

A source close to Kate said, “Kate is keen to have another baby before Lila Grace gets any older. She doesn’t want her to grow up a single child.
“Lila even calls Sadie Frost’s little girl Iris her sister because she wants one so much, which has made Kate feel guilty.
“But it has become a real sticking point between her and Jamie.”
“She thinks he will be a great dad, but he has been unsure whether he’s ready for such a huge commitment.
“There has also been a lot of tension between them about his friendship with bandmate Alison Mosshart which has kicked off heated rows.
“Jamie has spoken to some of his female friends about the idea of becoming a father.
“He agreed to go to Ibiza with Kate for a break before he goes on tour to see how they get on.
“No one would be surprised if Kate comes back pregnant.”

ENGLAND

Avril Lavigne is reportedly planning to undergo extensive dental work because she is self-conscious about her “fangs” pointy molars.

A source close Avril said, “Avril hates her fangs. She is planning on having them filed down by a cosmetic dentist.
“It’s just something she has always been insecure about, especially since everyone is staring at her mouth when she sings.
“As soon as Avril finds some time to take off so it won’t interfere with her singing, she’s getting it done.”

Avril won’t have any problems finding the money to pay for her dental work as the YouTube video for her single ‘Girlfriend’ has reportedly earned her $1 million.
Every time the video is viewed an advert is played and Avril receives a set fee.
The viewing figure for ‘Girlfriend’ is currently 94,223,185 ……. and counting!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There has been some controversy over this recently because the video for ‘Girlfriend’ hasn’t actually been viewed by almost 1 million people. There has reportedly been lots of manipulation of the figures, and the reason it has scored so high is because the video is on other websites that automatically refresh the page every 15 seconds?
I don’t suppose Avril Lavigne cares though, $1 million will definitely ease her conscious.
I guess YouTube should be asking Avril for cash!

Britney Spears’ videos for ‘Gimme More’ and ‘Piece Of Me’ were also doing very well on YouTube ……. until they were removed.
They both had several tens of million views, there are other videos of these two songs still on YouTube but they only have several hundreds of thousand views ……. so far!
