KRISTEN BELL - BELL'S ANGER AT BRAND PHONE SCANDAL

BELL'S ANGER AT BRAND PHONE SCANDAL

KRISTEN BELL has slammed RUSSELL BRAND for his prank phone calls to FAWLTY TOWERS star ANDREW SACHS - insisting she would have "beaten him up" if the comic had played the joke on her family.
Last year (08) Brand quit his British radio show after he and fellow broadcaster Jonathan Ross were heavily criticised for leaving "grossly offensive" messages on TV star Sachs' answer machine during a live broadcast.
The pair discussed Brand's fling with the 78-year-old's granddaughter Georgina Baillie.
But Bell wouldn't have tolerated her Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-star's behaviour if he had done the same to her relatives.
She says, "If Russell had left a message on my grandfather’s answerphone I’d have beaten him up.
"It doesn’t surprise me that he did it, as Russell’s whole thing is to push the envelope. Hopefully, he’ll have learned the error of his ways."
