Russell Brand has seduced Che Guevara's granddaughter. The British comic - known for his womanizing ways - took the legendary revolutionary's descendant Lydia to his hotel room at New York's Four Seasons hotel last week.

The star impressed the socialite with his knowledge of historical figures.

Russell Brand got an ex-schoolmate in trouble with police because he was jealous of him. The controversial comic has admitted he gave classmate Steve Reynolds' details when he was stopped by train inspectors for dodging rail fares 18 years ago.

Window cleaner Steve - who was 15 at the time - couldn't understand why police arrived at his house and accused him of not buying a ticket until he read Russell's confession in his autobiography "My Booky Wook."

Chris Rock wants to play a princess in a movie. The "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" star - who voices fast-talking zebra Marty in the animated film - would love to don a glamorous gown and tiara to win favor with his daughters Lola Simone, six, and Zahra Savannah, four.

Russell Brand has been "dressing as a pirate every day" to get into character for the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" film.

The British comic star - who has previously starred in movies including "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and the upcoming "Bedtime Stories" - is doing everything he can to secure the part of Johnny Depp's on-screen brother in the fourth film in the franchise.

Russell Brand has reportedly become obsessed with "air sex." The British comic has taken to the Japanese craze which sees fully clothed men simulating sex with an imaginary partner, often in an exaggerated way, and in competitions.

Russell, 33, has apparently been introduced to this practice by his yoga teacher friend Kazuko Burt, who told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Russell's been watching YouTube clips of air sex competitions, in which contestants perform the act to music, like air guitar for perverts.
