Russell Brand's New Book Explores Downside Of Fame

British comic and actor Russell Brand has just finished remaking the movie Arthur, and he's also completed his second autobiography, the title of which is Booky Wook 2: This Time It's Personal.

Why the unusual title?  Brand (above) says it was important that his new book's title (sequel to his My Booky Wook) conveys his honest feeling that being a famous personality was not as important as he once thought:

"You get extraordinary opportunities to meet extraordinary people. You get good tables at a restaurant and some money.  But when I was a kid I thought it would be amazing to be famous.  Now that I am famous, it's not as good as I thought."
