Brand new condo for Russell…

Nice to that Russell Brand is moving on with his life after his divorce from singer Katy Perry, by spending some quality time house hunting, with the most important woman in his life… Er, his mum!

The scruffy British funnyman, 36, flew his mother Barbara to the states so that they could spend Mother’s Day together …ahh, what a lovely son he is.

Brand and his mum then went looking for a new home for the star, in the up market West Hollywood district of Los Angeles.

Flying his mum half way across the world so that she can help with the house hunting, is quite a subdued act from Brand, considering that only last week Russell was arrested and charged with criminal damage to property due to throwing a paparazzo’s iPhone.

Brand claims he was provoked by the pap, which led him to grab and fling photographer Timothy Jackson’s cell phone. Has anyone bothered to ask why the pap was using an iPhone and not a real camera to stalk celebrities with?

In true Russell Brand fashion, he tweeted his reasons for the phone-throwing incident claiming it was merely a tribute to the late Apple CEO, Steve Jobs.

Brand tweeted: “Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iPhone irreverently. What I did was a tribute to his memory.”

However, now it seems he is doing his utmost best to put his legal troubles behind him. Brand had been in the process of becoming a naturalized US citizen through his marriage to Katy but recent events could put his status under consideration.
