Russell Brand has an arrest warrant out for NOLA iPhone tossing incident (update)

Here’s a brief update to the story from a few days ago where (due to a photo downloading situation) we were unable to show anything but the butt of Russell Brand’s latest shagging partner. Now that we’ve seen her face, it’s pretty obvious that Russell has a post-marriage “type.” Before Katy, Russell would literally shag women of all hair colors and body types. Now he seems to have settled upon brunettes with long-flowing hair and mostly slim bodies with a little junk in the trunk. So for those of you who are looking to one day host The Shagger for one wild night of love, that’s a pretty easy set of criteria to meet. As for myself, I’d only do it if a steel-plated condom was involved.

Anyway, here’s a follow-up to the story about Russell allegedly smashing a paparazzo’s iPhone because the guy was (maybe) trying to take a photo of his wang. Of course Russell had to say something witty about it on his Twitter account:

Dumb move. Since Russell’s basically admitting guilt here, this gave New Orleans PD plenty of ammunition to issue an arrest warrant:

Russell Brand isn’t out of the fire for tossing a paparazzo’s iPhone — New Orleans police have issued a warrant for his arrest.

New Orleans PD tells TMZ a misdemeanor warrant for simple criminal damage to property was issued tonight … following Brand’s run-in with a pap on Monday.

Brand is accused of grabbing the photog’s iPhone and hurling it through the window of a nearby law firm.

As TMZ first reported … people connected to Brand contacted the law firm and said the actor would be willing to pay for the damage to the window.

Russell is still in New Orleans filming a movie. We contacted a rep for the production … who refused to comment on the warrant.

Well I suspect that Russell will be arrested in very short order. It certainly won’t be hard to find him since he has to show up to a film set every day. Speaking of which, here’s Russell on the way to work on the Untitled Diablo Cody Project. His outfit looks just like Russell’s regular look — I even wouldn’t put it past him to wear a vest like that for the hell of it — except that he’s wearing a casino nametag that says “Sweet” William. I’m still waiting for Russell to break out the chaps. You know it’ll happen someday.

UPDATE: Us Weekly reports that Russell has been arrested, charged with simple criminal damage and is being held on $5,000 bail. Meanwhile, Chris Brown continues to walk the streets.

Here’s Julianne Hough on the way to the set while dressed as her character, who apparently has burn marks on her neck. Diablo Cody comes up with some weird sh-t.

    What happened with the iPhone incident involving Chris Brown? Anyone know?

    • ZZZ says:

      That is the first thing I thought of! WHY WHY WHY hasn’t CB been arrested?

    • ZZZ says:

      Now that I think about it, he probably paid the girl off….

    • The Truth Fairy says:

      My thoughts exactly. Where is Chris Brown’s arrest warrant? And at least Russell took the phone from an annoying paparazzi instead of a fan!

  2. Lis says:

    I always thought he was sketchy.

    Which is why, when he and Perry divorced (and before, when they were circling the drain), it bothered me that so many commenters here rushed to blame her and only her. It takes two, y’know.

    • Erinn says:

      You’re right it takes two… but when you have a recovering alcoholic husband who spoke on sobriety you don’t get up in front of everyone and brag about how drunk you are. She was just so immature… I’m sure Russel did wrong too, but Katy had a man that wanted to spend time with her, didn’t want to go out partying, and wanted to settle down with his wife. You hear so much about the men that are doing the opposite of that, and it doesn’t make you want to sympathize with the kind of woman who throws that away.

    Russ B. is revolting.

  4. gg says:

    So now he’s quit buckling his belt. Way to go, trite hipster.

    At least his pants aren’t making like nonstretchy leggings from the knee down today.

    • Marie Antoinette Jr. says:

      Yes, Russ thinks he is a trendsetting pretty boy, when in reality he comes across as an uncouth degenerate.

  5. Jackie F says:

    Anyone else notice the fake tattoos on his knuckles? I wonder what they say. And I think it’s funny his nametag says “Sweet” William. Aren’t those a type of flower?

    And Julianne Hough’s character is a “plane crash survivor who suffers a crisis of faith” in the new movie, so that would explain the neck burns. Apparently Russell is her own personal Jesus? Can’t wait to see that weird s*x scene, assuming there is one. Which there probably is because there were those pics of Russell in those tighty whiteys on set 😉

  6. Jackie F says:

    Oh, and is anyone really surprised Russ flipped sh*t and threw a photographers phone? People have been up his a** with cameras ever since his divorce. He’s probably been daydreaming about the opportunity to smash a camera through a window for a while and just so happened to be presented with the opportunity…

    Chris Rock pretty much did the same thing to that guy who wouldn’t leave him alone at sundance.

    I loved that tweet. That tweet gave me a good laugh, thats why I love this guy.

    So apparently this girl’s name is Nikolett Barabas. She’s a European model who does commercials and is starting an acting career. She doesn’t photograph well in pap pics for some reason but she’s super hot if you see her commercials. That also explains why she has the time to suddenly become Russell’s 24/7 babysitter. If he’s not paying this chick he should hold on to her because he’s dragging her around doing the most boring things. She looks like she’ll put up with his needy narcissistic isht for whatever reason. No comparison to Katy in the looks department. She’s definitely what Katy wishes she looked like. All the plastic surgery in the world won’t achieve this girl’s natural look.
