Russell Brand to get cropped for new roles

Russell Brand, the alleged actor, comedian and Katie Perry’s very close friend is now planning to shave off his outdated mane as he feels this refugee from the  ’80′s must be the reason he’s not getting good parts.

He’d be wrong.

The 34-year old Brit has denied he was ordered to cut back the weeds before filming begins on a remake of Warner’s 1981 comedy, ‘Arthur’ in which he’ll take Dudley Moore’s role, but admits his ‘scruffy’ looks could limit his chances to get other roles.

”I can’t keep always playing long-haired, scruffy men,” he told the UK’s Daily Telegraph, “Otherwise my career would be limited.”

And what’s wrong with that?…So’s his talent?

Russell’s best-known big-screen role so far was perhaps, ‘Aldous Snow’ in Universal’s 2008 rom-com, ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall.’ He’s now booked for the sequel but his ultimate ambition is play the fabled dictator, Emperor Napoleon of France.

”But I can’t play him as a shaggy-haired raconteur,’ Russell whined. ”I also want to play Rasputin, so that’ll be good — I can look like this.”

On the home front, it’s rumored that Russ may soon be proposing to Katie. Despite being linked to a string of hot dates, friends say he’s now getting exclusive with Kate and may soon tie the knot.

“We’ve never seen him like this,” says one friend. “We all think it won’t be long…I’m waiting for a call to say they’re at the Little Chapel in Vegas and ran off to get married,” we’re told.

Well, if the producers don’t fetch the hedge-clippers, the new wifey will! So one way or another we should soon see a new man…At last.

…Now,which one do you think will wear white?
