After ''Big Brother 7'' finished, Brand presented a debate show called ''[[Russell Brand's Got Issues]]'', on digital channel [[E4 (TV)|E4]]. The viewing figures for the first episode were seen as disappointing, but not that much of a surprise, being beaten by nearly all of E4's main multi-channel rivals, despite a big publicity and promotional campaign for the show and achieving only 148,000 viewers on the opening night.

* In 2006 the ''[[Daily Star]]'' published an article claiming that [[Bob Geldof]] has forbidden his daughter [[Peaches Geldof|Peaches]] to go to [[Ibiza]] in case Russell were to follow her. {{fact}} [[Rod Stewart]] publicly chided the television presenter Russell Brand at the GQ Awards for saying he'd slept with Stewart's daughter [[Kimberly Stewart]]. Collecting an award for outstanding achievement, Stewart challenged Brand to swear an oath that this really had happened - and warned Brand that if he couldn't swear that it was true, he shouldn't make such claims. During the filming of the 'shame' DVD he addressed this matter, explaining that his claim was a joke, and that he and Stewart share a common PR agent and were 'messing about'.

*[[Eddy Grant]]

* On 23 February 2006, he hosted the 2006 [[NME Awards]] show. Upon reaching the stage to receive his award, [[Bob Geldof]] began his speech with 'Russell Brand... what a [[cunt]].' which later prompted Brand to strike back with; "Bob Geldof. Really no surprise that he's such an expert on famine, he has after all been dining out on "[[I Don't Like Mondays (song)|I Don't Like Mondays]]" for 30 years...'. He later gave an interview in the ''[[Radio Times]]'' in which he criticised Geldof for calling him the word saying "I think that's a terrible word to call someone. I've been mentally ill and I've recovered from drug addiction"
