(Singing). There he is. Mr. Twitter Universe.

He’s not quite wearing the crown yet, but Russell Brand is currently in second place for the title of Mr. Twitter Universe. Given his bad boy history, this honor better not be something that can be rescinded at the drop of a scandal, or he’s in big trouble.

A Russell fan has compiled a list of reasons why you should vote for him, which includes his love for animals.

“Russell has been a vegetarian since his teens, is a doting and devoted pet owner to his beloved cat Morrissey, and has twice been named Europe’s Sexiest Vegetarian by PETA. He’s currently in the running for Sexiest Vegetarian Alive – in fact, while you’re at it, pop over and vote Russell Sexiest Vegetarian Alive, too.”

Of course, Russell also has his own troupe of strippers @BrandyStrippers, so you know he’s the best man for the job.  

Don’t forget to vote for Russell and read the entire top 10 list of reasons to vote for Russell as Mr. Twitter Universe at RussellBrandlove.com.

Executive producers of The Simpsons, James L Brooks and Al Jean, would like to write comedian and actor Russell Brand in the cartoon show.

Al Jean said Brand was “very funny”, and added, “I would definitely be interested in writing an episode around him.”

In addition to Brand, Brooks and Jean want President Obama too.

We’re thinking Brand could have a date with Lisa Simpson.

After all, they both follow the same diet, and Brand wouldn’t be the first vegetarian celebrity Lisa meets on the show while dodging Homer’s love for lamb chops.

It was the help of Paul and Linda McCartney that helped Lisa maintain her veggie lifestyle in carnivorous loving Springfield.

It’s high time Lisa found herself a veggie mate. We just can’t picture her having dinner every evening with Milhouse.

Celebrities are taking full advantage of Twitter these days, serving as their own paparazzi.

Amber Benson, the actress best known for playing Tara Macclay in the TV series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, recently Twittered (or is it Twitted?) what she was chowing down on to get her strength up before a book signing event.

“Eating veggie udon to get my strength up before the 4 o’clock signing at the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego.”

Yes, this gal is multi-talented. Actress, writer, film director, and film producer who considers herself one of those “pescetarians,” although she was full time vegetarian for 14 years. 

Amber’s recent Twitter entry makes a little more sense than vegetarian screen star Russell Brand, who humorously claimed to be an inhumanely farmed animal who milked himself, the ingestion of cheese made from his own products rendering him not fully vegan.

“Not vegan yet, i eat cheese made from my own milk, however i am farmed inhumanely and shall report myself to the UN at dawn.”
—comedian Russell Brand in response to a question on his Twitter if he was a vegan. Salma Hayek has been making headlines about breastfeeding babies that aren’t hers-maybe Russell is stocking up on the breast pumps for an entrepreneurial adventure?

We’d like to look more into this “farmed inhumanely” situation. Russell doesn’t seem to be the type you should keep caged…Or should you?

Russell’s Twitter, rustyrockets, is becoming quite popular, gaining 2,000 followers in the first 20 minutes when it launched last month.

“I’m really getting tired of materialism. I don’t reckon I’ve got more than two or three years. I’ve burned out drugs. I’m burning out sex. I don’t even know what I’m doing yet. I’m not ready. I’ve got to be in a position where they can’t go, ‘Didn’t he f*** that stripper? Didn’t he go to that lap-dancing club?’

“There can’t be any of that around. That’s all got to go—until I’m in a position where I can say, ‘Look I’m celibate, I’m a vegan. All I do is meditate, come out and do stand-up and make films.’ ”
—actor and comedian Russell Brand, in an interview where he claims to sleep with 80 women per month.

But all that is supposed to change soon. Let’s not hold our breath, though, for the Vegetarian Starter Kit Cover bad boy.

What can Russell Brand do for Britain? Reduce obesity rates? Encourage more physical activity? Have naked ladies wearing only lettuce cups go door to door reminding you to eat your veggies?

These are just a few of some possible campaign pointers he should mention in case he decides to run for Food Minister.

Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver has expressed concerns over Britain’s rising health problems and says the country is in need of a Food Minister to help stop and reduce what he calls the “obesity horror show.”

But this horror show doesn’t involve Rocky coming to life. And ooh, girlfriend, those Transylvanians have gotten fa-aat!

Peta UK has jumped on the chance to remind everyone that a vegetarian diet can help you lose weight and is better for the planet and has created its own ballad for vegetarian celebrities that would be perfect for the Food Minister position, including shock jock Brand.

Other celebs on the list include Paul McCartney, Joanna Lumley, Morrissey, Russell Brand, Benjamin Zephaniah, Leona Lewis, Jenny Seagrove, Alexa Chung, Jodie Marsh, Martin Shaw, and Thom Yorke.

Whether you live in the UK or not, you can participate in the decision by going to Fish and Chips and leaving a comment as to who you think should take the helm.

The “obesity horror show” can change. Let’s do the time warp again…but with a vegan Frank. N. Furter.

So Peta stands by its people (unless they decide to wear fur after pledging not to or are caught munching on pork rinds by the paparazzi). Even though Russell Brand’s association with their vegetarian starter kit brought complaints and criticism due to an on-air prank he participated in, they stood by their decision to keep him as the cover boy. But do they know about his dead animal toss up act a few years ago?

An article from Female First has recently been brought to attention that Russell Brand once performed a live show where he threw dead animals at the audience. If you could only afford front row seats to that one. Granted, he didn’t eat the dead animals or ask anyone in the audience to taste them.

But still, does Peta know about this? Not that it will change their opinions, but how does this change your opinion on him? Do you find this completely unacceptable for a person promoting a vegetarian lifestyle?

Obviously, people change their ways and no one is perfect. This is just one of the many items on Brand’s shock record, which include an arrest for stripping in a protest march and filming himself taking a bath with a homeless man and living with a prostitute.
