'Russell Brand, what a c***'

What I'm not quite clear on was whether that came before or after his dig at Bob regarding him knowing a lot about famine since he's been dining out on I don't like Mondays for 30 years.

Dunno but it definitely came after Brand introduced Bob as Bobby Gandalf.

Why would Brand be so snipey towards Geldof?

Because he's old. Look at the old geezer! Bet he doesn't get as much cooch as me! Let's have a laugh at his expense! That's one possibility.

I'm all for Brand getting everything that's coming to him but there is no need to go digging stuff up and pretending it's something that it wasn't for clicks.. if that's what this is. Again, I'm not sure. Was he calling him a campaigner because 'he knew' or for his shitty joke.

I'd probs call Brand a c*** too in public, any excuse would do if I knew he was sleazing on to my 16yo daughter.

Yeah which is fine, but did he? What was the context of Bob calling Brand a campaigner? That's all I mean. Because it's not clear to me.

Btw, when I said there's no need to go digging stuff up I wasn't having a crack at you. I meant the 'news' services.. just in case that wasn't clear.

While I'm at it it's a bit annoying to see people trying to drag Noel Fielding into this by proxy. I did a bit of searching (Noel Fielding Russell Brand, Noel Fielding controversy) and the only thing that came up was him and Matt Lucas copping heat for dressing in sombreros for Mexican week on British Bakeoff.. There seems to be a contingent of people that want to just lump him in with Brand because they never liked either. If anyone has anything to actually contradict this I'm more than willing to look at it.

 

[jason_recliner]

They probably didn't know. They weren't providing cars to pick up a 16yo like the BBC did. He was viewed as a sexually liberated lefty rock star like a Mick Jagger or Michael Hutchence.
I think the TV people knew the dirt.

Why would one paper "probably" know but the Guardian "probably didn't know"? That doesn't make sense.

Fielding was seen kissing a 16yo. Not illegal but questionable.

There's a bit out there.

Yeah ok so I and many others would rightly find that pretty gross but I'm not ready to hang/cancel him for having a consensual relationship with someone of legal age while he was completely ****ed up on just about everything from the sounds of it.

Noel dated Bob Geldof’s daughter Pixie when she was studying for her GCSEs at school aged 16. He was more than twice her age at 33.

Noel revealed at the time: “She’s incredible. There’s a chemistry between us and we liked each other but she’s so much younger.

“When I first met her I had no idea who she was and that she was so young. It caused a lot of problems because her dad wanted to kill me obviously.

“A lot of that’s my fault for getting tempted by different things. It’s also because of groupies trying to get in my way and people pretending to be my friends.”

Bake off host Noel Fielding might be a slap in the boosh for fans

WHEN The Great British Bake Off switched to Channel 4, there were concerns it would move downmarket. Fans in love with the knowing wit of Mel and Sue braced themselves for something colder and hard…

Also, Pixie is still alive so if she had any issues with her time with Noel I think we'd have heard about it. If that's all there is it's pretty poor trying to lump him in with Brand.

 

[Gralin]

there's plenty of other stuff out their about Noel Beerfish championing the right for 30 year olds to date 16 year olds because it's legal isn't really the win you might think it is

And I'm talking as someone that was a fan of Noel's work until all this came out a few days ago.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Why would one paper "probably" know but the Guardian "probably didn't know"? That doesn't make sense.

I said the TV stations people he worked with knew not the newspapers. I think accusing the Guardian of supporting an alleged rapist with full knowledge of that is ridiculous.

It's not a competition and I'm not trying to claim a win. I'm saying having a consensual relationship with someone old enough to legally consent is not the same thing as shoving your **** down someone's throat against their will while they're pinned to a wall and the two shouldn't be conflated.

If something comes out about Noel that is actually akin to that I'll be the first in line to condemn him.

They used to go out together all the time and sleep with young groupies.
Going out with a 16yo is definately sick and there was heroin around at the time and Pixie died of a heroin overdose.

There's really no reason a 33 year old should be dating a 16 year old who was in year 11 at the time even if it is legal.

But given the way you've come in here arguing about stuff you haven't looked into at all I'm sure you will continue to go off half cocked about the "legality" of things

Pixie is alive and well. Peaches is dead.

Completely agree and I've not said differently.

Sorry yes. It would be good to hear from Pixie then.
If Bob Geldolf called Brand a c*** on live tv then he is a c*** and obviously Bob knows something.

Getting worse by the day for Mr Brand

5 women in total now and more to come

Fair enough,
Another 'award' Brand won was 'shagger of the year' , 3 times in the Sun newspaper.
The right wing media have barracked for him years and painted him as a cool womaniser when they probably knew more.

I think if the Sun and "right wing media" knew there's every chance people working at your favourtite rag also knew.

The Guardian didn't name him shagger of the year 3 times that was Murdoch. Maybe the Sun didn't know but with all their illegal listening devices who knows.

So what you're saying is Guardian PR-mouthpieces and puppets journos are incompetent, stupid, or both.

Good article here on the tabloids and lad culture in the 90's and beyond.

"The nasty noughties: Russell Brand and the era of sadistic tabloid misogyny
At the turn of the century, the tabloid press was untouchable – and women in the public eye faced ceaseless persecution. We are still grappling with the fallout today."

Murdoch is the misogynist enabler my friend.

It wasn't just the tabloids British TV in the 2000s was nasty and given the names that keep popping up now involved in various controversies where in many cases the stars of 2000s British television it's no surprise really
