A guy who looks and sounds “cool” until you actually, you know, listen to him speak. Then he just gets old. Fast. Other than the opening monologue, Brand’s entire VMA repertoire boiled down to making fun of three males who out-sex appeal him without ever dropping trow.

Brand Still Talking About The Jonas Bros.
Despite the fact that most Americans have no idea who he is, Russell Brand was a great host for the MTV VMAs because he got people talking.

It’s a mad idea. What a crazy way to spend an evening. Other post-show gems include his theory that Li
