Britney Spears may be trying to get publicity for more than just being a good girl and getting her life together. The Sun thinks that Britney went on a date with British comedian Russell Brand – and she very well may have. The two were spotted at the same restaurant on the same night at the same time – but of course came and left separately, so there’s no way to know.
RUSSELL BRAND in the same restaurant as BRITNEY SPEARS, only days after their serious flirting at the VMAs – with his reputation?
The comedian just happened to be having dinner in the same restaurant, on the same night as the pop princess. Russell and Britney were snapped leaving The Little Door Restaurant in LA – separately of course.
Britney is on the comeback trail and a little fling with the man of the moment in America would thrust her right back into the limelight. She has been dating her bodyguard Lee, a former Israeli soldier, so Russell should tread carefully.
And Russell is back on the prowl after telling snappers earlier in the evening that he was ‘footloose and fancy free’ after ending his three month relationship with gorgeous Australian actress TERESA PALMER.
Russ and Brit certainly hit it off at the weekend. Stranger things have happened…

It’s cute that they think Russell Brand is “the man of the moment in America.” I think he’s just “less unknown than he used to be in America.” Of course that doesn’t sound quite so sexy and likely to entice Britney. But I don’t think they’re being misinformed about Russell’s popularity means that they’re misinformed about everything. Brand is edgy without being a blatant risk in terms of Brit’s reputation – which I think she probably takes pretty seriously now, considering how hard she’s worked the last few months. And while it’d be an odd and rather humorous pairing, I doubt it’d damage her popularity like K-Fed or paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.
I think it’d be best if she stayed away from guys and just focused on her kids and career for a while. But rarely does Britney do what I ask. And Brand seems like an okay choice for her – nothing spectacular either way.

I had no idea who Russell Brand was before the VMAs and I still don’t have much of an idea!
Britney… back away from the skinny-hipped slut… it’s for your own good!
He was in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He was actually quite funny too, but beyond that he’s a bit of a wanker. He’s a major boozer and coke fiend I hear.
i actually think this whole ” good girl” image america wants to create for britney is a load of crud….cmon now seriously? and actually russell brand is a lot cooler than she is…why would he have to chase after how tore up shes been lately? ????$%#! 😐 🙄 8)
I really hope that isn’t true, he is crazy as a loon…
If I were single, I would date Russell Brand, lol. Not in any long term, marriage material kinda way, but just for the apparently frequent and interesting sex!
There’s alot more to the guy than the VMA gig, trust. He’s a great observational comedian.
Plus, lol, I don’t know why, but I love his bed head hair and big brown eyes! lol
Diva….me too!
Frequent and interesting sex is pretty hot.
A cursory google search reveals Russell to be gay and in a relationship.
As a big fan of Russell (from Ireland) I’d like to say he is not a coke fiend or a boozer! He is a recovering herion addict and confessed sex addict. He started off on MTV and is now a successful comedian and author. His autobiography “My Booky Wook” is a best seller and his stand up shows are impossible to get tickets for. He has had many successful broadcasting stints including Big Brother. He also does a show for BBC radio which is pricless. He would not date Britney,
.
It doesn’t take much to entice Britney. She brings new meaning to the term “low standards” in nearly every facet of her life.
I can appreciate his testosterone-iness, but he just looks like a wuss with the hair, not-beard and the girl jeans make his body look like he has has girl thighs. ::shudder::
Diva – count me in on that as well!! I don’t know what it is about him, but he is strangely attractive – I’d make sure I’d double wrap him…but I bet he’d be a fun ride.
Oh, TRUST, lol, he’d be wrapped to the hills, lmao… but he’d be wrapped and rode, for sure! 😆
i had no idea how bad the language difference was between america and britain until the vma’s. i mean, brand kept saying stuff and pausing for what i assume should have been laughs, but nobody in the audience (or me for that matter) laughed. it had to be the language barrier because all i kept hearing was how “edgy” and “witty” he was. those words must mean “very shi$$y comedian” in britain.
If he’s got a big dick, she’s probably dating him. Girl likes her meat.
LOL
I am also a proud meat eater….
hmmmm… 😆 um.. yes, a nice juicy steak and uh, lamb with mint sauce!
Oh, and tyson… like I said, there’s alot more to Brand than the VMA gig. He was HILARIOUS on the Secret Policeman’s Ball on BBC America the other night.
Howeryeh starshaped. Good to see another paddy swelling the ranks here 😉
On Russell – he has stated that he would either be off his tree on H or drunk as a lord in his early programmes.
Maybe he wouldn’t “date” her – but I bet he’d shag her though. The lad is a slut! 😆
I love a nice cheeseburger myself, Diva, or a loin roast, or a tube steak.
heh heh… you said tubesteak… 😆
Sorry, lmao… I’m in a bit of a strange mood today, lol. I think the 5000 miles between MY tubesteak and me has gone to my head… TMI? lmao
Diva: Secret Policeman’s Ball was a ton of fun. Wish I could’ve seen it live, but at least I have a giant TV and surround sound. Seconding you on the sexiness of Russell Brand. I like ’em freaky and I do love his sense of humour. I’d be disappointed if it’s true about him and B. She does not have an interesting thing to say.
Oh, I know, Trillion, what a great show, huh? Love me some Brand and Boosh! And I don’t know those two that did the impressions in the beginning were, but they were SPOT ON! Excellent show!
I don’t think Britney and Brand went out… their commercials for the VMAs were really funny (especially the one where she doesn’t remember his surname and he tells her she will cos it will be hers too soon, lol) but she seemed soooo scared of him, lol. And she’s not THAT good of an actress, so I’m not thinking it was scripted, lol.
I hadn’t thought of the language barrier yet. That must have been what did it, because I thought the VMA’s were awful (Brand included) but that his commercials were priceless. Regardless, I hate someone to be uncomfortable when the laughs don’t come.
I’d do him too though. He certainly must have some genais’ se quo. Or however the hell you spelll it.
je ne sais quoi 8)
LOL – I thought in those commercials Britney looked as if she wasn’t sure if she was dreaming him up 😆
Oh yes, the MIGHTY MIGHTY Boosh!!!
I’m with the Russell love. He just seems like he’d be a riot to hang out with. (possibly literally)
😯
😆 😆
Brand’s a sex hound, not a booze hound, not a smackhead, has been clean for at least four years. He’s channeled all his former drug & booze energy into his sex hounding. Just so you know, those of you thinking about doing him. Apparently he’s very very very good at it. 8)
I don’t think Americans realize that there are language barriers between them and Britons. Unless it is an actor who went to Drama school in London, and therefore has that “London drama accent” (there is such a thing!), you would be surprised to learn the differences. I am American and married to a Brit, and when I moved to the UK, I hadn’t previously visited. I merely had preconceptions on what I thought it would be like. I was surprised just how much I felt like I was needing to learn a new language. I needed to learn how to understand various accents, not just one or two. There are a LOT OF ACCENTS HERE. There are a LOT of different words that you wouldn’t really hear much in anything except shows that are mainly played here. Anything that is exported tends to be American-friendly. Americans tend to be easily offended (generally speaking) but British folk are not. BBC and American TV are polar opposites. So, naturally, I am not surprised to hear people didn’t get his jokes. It’s like when I first moved to the UK and within a couple weeks of living here, my husband tried showing me a British TV show called “Phoenix Nights”, which is full of Lancashire-Bolton accents.
In the UK, I said plenty of American things/phrases and had a lot of confused looks from people, and vice-versa.
Phoenix Nights. Pure genuis. 8)
Gena, all true. Also, people in the south (UK) themselves have problems with understanding northern accents, particularly Geordie & Yorkshire, and have major problems with Scottish accents which range from ‘drama’ Scot like Connery to Rab C Nesbitt, an almost indecipherable comedic genius Glaswegian wastrel. But it’s dialects and turns of phrase that really throw people and if you don’t understand them, you won’t get the humour.
And it is much more irreverant here, people expect the piss to be taken out of everything, politics and celebrity in particular, and tv drama and comedy is all the better for it.
I’m not sure this doesn’t have a ‘yuck’ factor about it.
RAN, I would seriously doubt they did anything other than have dinner and a chat. Really. Brand’s a sex hound but he’s also quite a compassionate guy – a lot to do with what he’s been through himself. I reckon it’s far more likely he gave her some brotherly advice.
He is very cute. Very PRETTY actually. In fact, quite a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN if you didn’t know any better.
And BTW: I don’t think Britney’s as dumb and talentless as some of you are making her out to be.
Russell, NO! Bad dog!
YEAY! on all the love for Peter Kay and his “Phoenix Nights”. Personally, I’m the most fond of his first series “That Peter Kay Thing” and his brilliant standup shows. Ahhh, when he illustrates how drunk dads act at the end of a wedding reception — he inhales helium from a balloon and belts out “Danny Boy” à la the Chipmunks…
😈 Hey, there’s no accounting for taste; that dried up old tart will go out with anyone who has a twig and berries!!!
I have to say — I have heard all the talk about him being a sex hound. But haven’t heard one single women he’s been with say he’s so great at it. Seems to me he’s just a braggart.
Just an observation.
They got it right, Russell Brand IS the man of the moment in the USA and ALWAYS in the Uk for several years too.
Britney should count herself lucky to be anywhere near him! He’s gorgeous and the best!!
And please we want him back already. He’s our London guy and we want him back!!
