Why I Love Russell Brand

1. His two autobiographies, Booky Wook 1 and 2, are truly engrossing. His voice comes through strongly, unlike most "autobiographies" were the ghost writer is so present your house becomes haunted for the duration of the read.

2. He has great taste in women, okay, so he has had a great taste for all women. But now he has narrowed it down to some wonderful women. For example, I dig his wife, Katy Perry, I dig his idolisation of Helen Mirren and after reading his booky wooks, I dig his beloved mum, Barbara and nan.

3. He is brutally honest about himself and other celebrities in his books, even though he admits to some horrible stuff that could make fans turn on him. (See next blog)

4. He made it big from being poor boy out in Grays, Essex, with largely unhappy childhood. He has managed to stay clean and sober after being total alcoholic and crack addict.

5. Wrote and recited a beautiful poem for his nan at her funeral, as published in Booky Wook.
