Russell Brand must be falling on hard times; it appears he's trying to hawk his unwanted books to his celebrity pals! The Sun spotted the comedian and actor at the door of the Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell with a bag with more than a couple of good reads in it - we spotted one particular book about hip 1980s combo Talking Heads that we wouldn't mind a perusal of ourselves - but there was apparent disappointment when he left later in the day with all the books still in bag, looking glum to boot. Poor Russ.
Of course, we're pretty sure this isn't actually the cause of his visit. It's been long rumoured that he and Halliwell apparently share a deep-rooted spiritual connection owing to their love of yoga and there are strong rumours that they are in fact an item, having been on a couple of dates together since reportedly getting together at the Olympics Closing Ceremony. Brand has even dumped latest squeeze Isabella Brewster for Geri, apparently, after saying "I've got a crush on Geri Halliwell - everything in the world is how it should be."
It's about this time in the story where we should be making a gag about how he probably had the Karma Sutra in that bag of books. It just seems too easy though.
