MTV VMA’s cut Sarah and Bristol Palin Slut joke

Russell Brand revealed his controversial outbursts were TONED DOWN by MTV censors.

Russell revealed: “MTV told me they want me to do it again. Afterwards they were really thrilled. There was a 20 per cent increase in viewers from last year’s show and wow, isn’t life exciting.”

Russell’s savage comic tongue lashed Republicans, MADONNA, THE JACKSON 5 and in particular clean-cut pop trio THE JONAS BROTHERS in an opening monologue that made its mark on the Yanks.

But incredibly the script we heard was the clean version after MTV insisted he scrap some of his bravest gags. He revealed: “I had JOHN McCAIN gags pulled. And they asked me to tone down the gags about SARAH PALIN.

“I wanted to say she was forcing her teenage daughter to have a baby because she is so anti-abortion.

“But also, as a Republican, she is pro-execution so she is going to give her the electric chair for being a little sl*t. They weren’t keen on that one.”

Our interview was interrupted by a gaggle of artificially-enhanced ladies desperate to throw themselves at the Bizarre Shagger Of The Year.
