Russell Brand Sock Watch ’09: Less Pink, More Thigh

Russell Brand's Knee Highs and Short Shorts

That’s right. That’s a picture of Russell Brand’s crotch n’ legs. Happy Thursday, you guys.

For those of you who aren’t keeping up, there was quite a debate over the cloth covering (and not covering) Russell’s legs the other day when he stepped out in a pair of short shorts and hot pink knee socks. Some of you agreed with me that he looked like a fool who was just trying to make a spectacle of himelf, others probably called me a bitch but I only skimmed their comment because I have a massive ego to keep intact and a couple of you said that they were just a nod to his favorite football team back home, West Ham.

Well, here’s another dimension to this thrilling story: Yesterday Russell was seen wearing shorter shorts and redder socks into the gym. For those of you who suggested that he might be repping his love for West Ham with the hot pink pair he was wearing the other day, check out these socks. I don’t know anything about football (American or Euro), but I do recognize those team colors to be West Ham’s. I guess that means that we’ve still got a mystery on our hands: Why would a grown-ass man want to be seen in public in hot pink knee-high socks?

Keep checking back for more updates as Russell Brand Sock Watch ’09 continues to go down before our eyes. I am thrilled to bring you every detail about what this man is putting on his feet to absorb sweat so he doesn’t ruin his sneakers.
