7 Things You Don't Know About Russell Brand

If you missed last summer's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," and have yet to be introduced to the unbridled hilarity that is Brit comedian Russell Brand, watch the above "7 Things" video post-haste. Brand is out shilling his memoir, "My Booky Wook," which, among other things details his rather serious battles against sex and hard-drug addiction. He leaves that serious tone behind for our video, taking time instead to reveal how he got such straight teeth as an Englishman, who among his sprawling entourage deigns to give him sponge baths, and why he'll be starting a chain of bathhouses in your neighborhood. If you've missed your ribaldry quotient the past few days, this should do it.
