Russell Rocks Out As Aldous In New York
Russell Brand invited fans to a once in a lifetime performance last week, and on Sunday it all came together as he performed at Rockefeller Plaza in character as Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Aldous Snow, soon to be the star of his own spin off Get Him To The Greek. Russell's costar Jonah Hill, who also appeared in the original movie, was also on set — their interactions were one of my highlights of the original, so I can't wait to see the finished product when it comes out in the Spring next year!
To see some photos of Russell in his Aldous velvet jacket and scarf, as well as costar Jonah Hill, just read more
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below, the Oscar-winning documentary Taxi to the Dark Side is also now available on DVD.
Pop A DVD In: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I've seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall a handful of times now, and after each viewing I love it a little bit more — so you can be sure that I'm going to recommend this DVD (out today) highly!
I think your enjoyment of this movie will partly depend on whether you're in the camp that love Russell Brand (or are fairly indifferent), or the camp that hate him with a vengeance. I'm in the former, so his part in this film is a highlight for me — he plays English rock star Aldous Snow, the man that Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has lost his TV star girlfriend to.
PopSugar UK's Must Haves For September

Russell Brand: Hot or Not?
Russell Brand has left our shores again, and was spotted picking up a coffee in LA yesterday. Even though his film has been knocked off the number one spot in the UK box office, his acting career looks set to go from strength to strength, meaning Russell will continue to get even more well-known outside the UK. So with that in mind, I want to know what you all think of the funnyman.
Box Office: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Win the Weekend
It's always exciting when a comedy that's genuinely funny does well with audiences, and that was the case this weekend with the female buddy comedy Baby Mama starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
The ladies won the top spot with an estimated $18.3 million, handily beating out the other comedy opening over the weekend, Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. EW reports that while this wasn't the best movie opening for either Fey or Poehler, their film did much better than many box office watchers predicted.
If You Had To...
This If You Had To is a bit of a departure from the others, because these two are actually kinda hot underneath all their crunky skank. The English have a knack for producing this "addicted pirate who is allergic to bathing" type. In one corner, I present you with Russell Brand.
