Oh no! Now it’s Russell Brand the life coach

WELL, here’s a turn up for the, er, books. I hear Russell Brand is to publish a tome to tell us how we can all be really, really happy.

The television presenter, 43, says the book is called Mentors: How To Help And Be Helped.

He adds: ‘I will encourage you to find mentors of your own and explain how you can make better use of the ones you already have. Furthermore, I will tell you about my experiences mentoring others and... how it has helped me to transform from a bewildered and volatile vagabond to a (mostly) present and (usually) focused husband and father.’

Sorry Russ, but when it comes to advice on booze, drugs and matters of the heart, I’ll ask someone else, thanks.
