Russell Brand waves the diamond flag
Posted by Catherine Dayrit on September 08, 2008
On display last night at the MTV Video Music Awards: a lucid Britney Spears, svelte Christina Aguilera and lots and lots of diamonds.
Despite bling on all ends of the stage, my eyes were on host Russell Brand, the British comedian who took a scene-stealing turn in this summer's Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
While his hosting skills might be debatable (urging kids to vote: very cool; poking fun at the Jonas brothers for wearing chastity rings: not so cool), his was the only jewelry that I openly remarked about.
Check out PopSugar for the full ensemble, and you’ll see a wrist load of bracelets, rings on both hands and a neck studded with pendants. OK, so maybe you don't want to take style tips from a guy with that hair, but at least he's got us talking, right?
Brand's skull pendants and diamond rings are from Loree Rodkin, a designer known for her medieval-style jewelry and a favorite of rockers such as Marilyn Manson and Avril Lavigne.

Too bad the jewelry is promoted by a nut job. Russell Brand a British comedian(?) disparages the United States and the administration.
Shame on you for giving this idiot a forum for beautiful jewelry.

The post by Catherine notes what jewelry Brand was wearing, it isn't an in-depth look at any political statements he made. I don't think she should feel ashamed at all.

I agree with Ms. Brassem. Why would anyone publicize a jewelry brand endorsed (worn) by a British national, America-bashing, Palin-trashing "comedian?"
His sexual comments about one of America's VP candidates is insulting and revolting.
Having this bufoon wear a gold jewelry brand reflects nothing but poor (idiotic) judgement on the manufacturer.
It's like showing diamond jewelry in cow manure.

Russell Brand is a talentless bafoon. I mean, seriously, who can even listen to that guy and say that they are enjoying themselves or even happy.
Brand just gets on my nerves: his voice, his jokes, his voice, his voice.
