Russell Brand Bolts: He might be a major cutup, but Russell Brand doesn't have a great sense of humor when the joke's on him. He arrived to walk the red carpet at the FX Summer Comedy Party for his new talk show, BrandX, and Anger Management on June 26 at Lure nightclub in Hollywood, and while speaking to one reporter, he noticed a duo "covering" the event for Perez Hilton's website dressed as Katy Perry and Brand's character from Get Him to the Greek.
