Can sex addict and reformed junkie Russell Brand conquer America (and can America cope with him)?
A narcissistic, libidinous entertainer with snake hips, hair like a crow's nest and a self-absorption bordering on the comical. If Russell Brand imagined he'd have to delve deep into his own psyche for his latest role, it was an expedition that must have taken all of five minutes. With the release today of his first big Hollywood movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (starring Kristen Bell), Russell Brand plumbs the depths of his personality and comes back up with . . . himself.

Variety review: "Forgetting Sarah Larson"
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" stars Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Russell Brand and Bill Hader, directed by Nicholas Stoller, produced by Judd Apatow. From Variety.com: 'Reprising his successful "Knocked Up" formula of uninhibited bawdiness and chick-flick sweetness, with side orders of slapstick and showbiz satire, producer Judd Apatow looks to have scored another long-legged hit with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Crowd-pleasing confection sees the comedy auteur once again hooking up with fello

What’s the point in replaying a humiliation?
If a match is on television that I’m already aware West Ham United have lost I don’t bother to watch it. What’s the point? The football? What, on their inexorable trudge to defeat the Hammers might do something sexy and skilful? Well that’s great but prior knowledge of an unpleasant result, for me, negates enjoyment. It’s difficult enough to watch West Ham live, when the possibility of victory theoretically exists; remove that and all that remains is masochistic snuff soccer.

Video interview with Kristen Bell for "Sarah Marshall"
ComingSoon.net got the chance to hang out with Kristen Bell ("Heroes") recently at the Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu to talk about her new comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, opening in theaters on April 18. The usually conservative Bell opened up about what it was like filming an R-rated movie and what her family may think. She even talked about the dirty sex scenes she had to do with Russell Brand (they had to come up with 15 of the most obnoxious sex positions!) and shooting the opening scenes of the movie wi

Is this the right fertiliser for Grays’ grassroots?
It's all well and good English clubs marauding through Europe winning matches all cocksure and swaggering like it were the barmy ol' days of the empire once more, strutting through the Champions League knocking over tables in piazzas and laughing at Greek fellas wearing national dress but in Blighty the oft-cited yet frequently neglected "grassroots" of the game are being bizarrely mishandled. I suppose the phrase "grassroots" has caught on as the game is played on a grass surface. I don't much care for th

Russell Brand caught with two women in toilets
Russell Brand is still making his way through the female population, with STIs going through the roof (probably) as he was recently caught trying to have his wicked way with some ladies in the loos of a London club. He's obviously desperate to win his third consecutive and highly prestigious 'Shagger of the Year' title in The Sun. Russell was out at the Embassy club when he was found enjoying the company of two semi naked ladies. By a cleaner. Who obviously had a tough job on their hands afterwards.

Video: Kristen Bell's (brief) crazy monkey sex scene in "Sarah Marshall"
Yes, it's brief, but it's worth a quick peek. And no, she does not take her bikini off in case you were wondering. But, she does look good in a bikini, if that's any consolation!

'Transformers' Star Joins Kristen Bell in 'Rome'
Josh Duhamel, Jon Heder, Dax Shepard and Anjelica Huston are packing to join Kristen Bell in the Disney romantic comedy "When in Rome." The project was written by David Diamond and David Weissman and will be directed by Mark Steven Johnson, with production starting in New York City and Rome shortly. Bell plays Beth, one of those Manhattan single gals you always see in the movies. Yes, she's smart and beautiful and successful in the real estate business, but she just can't find love, which means she's

Apatow, Stoller speak 'Greek'
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" helmer Nick Stoller is reteaming with Judd Apatow and Universal Pictures for the comedy "Get Him to the Greek," with Jonah Hill and Russell Brand attached to star. Stoller has been tapped to write and direct the laffer, which centers on a fresh-out-of-college insurance adjuster (Hill) who is hired to accompany an out-of-control rock star (Brand) from London to a gig at L.A.'s Greek Theater.

Kristen Bell not returning to Heroes?
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Kristen Bell isn't signed for the new season yet. He does believe that she will eventually be signed though, because fans like her so much.

No replacing the man with a wiggle in his walk
Sorry. Sorry for not doing my article last week. If you were disappointed then I know how you feel, I used to be terribly upset when Jon Ronson's column failed to appear in the Weekend magazine supplement that accompanies this very paper, on one occasion bothering to text him to personally berate him for his absence.It's not that Tim Dowling, the fella they got in to replace him wasn't any good it's just I felt, and in fact feel, a strong sense of identification with Jon's writing especially when he scribbl

My adventures with Beckham in wonderland
I didn't see the Champions League games because I've been spending all my time with child actors, Adam Sandler and a guinea pig - in a professional capacity of course, I've not become a bizarre pervert with remarkable contacts. Out here in Hollywoodland access to football is limited but proximity to mind-bending glamour is at an all-time high, why, one can scarcely leave the house without being smashed in the face with dirty great lumps of fame. That is why this week's column is jam-packed with genuine sco

Kristen Bell Has a Thick Skin About Rumors
She's been linked to Justin Timberlake and was accused of getting breast implants, but Kristen Bell doesn't let rumors get under her skin. "I could spend all day weeping about the bad parts of this career, but I wouldn't change it ... You just buck up and build a thicker skin, you know?" the actress, 27, tells Cosmopolitan magazine in its May issue. Bell, who is currently dating Dax Shepard, 33, and starring in the upcoming comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, denied an alleged romance with Timberlake.
