Russell Brand

I wish people (Russell Brand included) would stop trying to make Russell Brand happen.  Really.  Here are a few reasons why this endeavor seems fruitless:

1. Russell Brand is not attractive enough to be a major star (at least not in the United States).  I'm sorry, but let's face it: Russell isn't handsome and he looks like he hasn't bathed in a while.  He needs a good scrub down a bath or shower, a change of clothes, a haircut, and a shave just to try and make himself look presentable.

2.  Russell Brand isn't funny.  Maybe his brand of humor passes for funny in the UK, but it's not really cutting the mustard over here.  Plus, his accent is often hard to understand.  He doesn't have a posh, soothing British accent like, say, Colin Firth so, unfortunately, points must be deducted.

Perhaps Russell should just stick to honing his craft in the UK where he's appreciated instead of trying to make it work over here.
