Russell Brand has said he has received death threats following his appearance on the American MTV awards. During his controversial hosting of the event outspoken Russell called George Bush a "retarded cowboy", and mocked the Jonas Brothers for their no sex before marriage promise rings. "If you are going to kill someone, don't give them advance notice, which gives you a chance to prepare,” Russell explained to Chris Moyles. “These Christian Republicans were watching me and thought, 'Well this is no good, I shall do a death threat'. How can you, while watching the telly, think, 'Oh I don't enjoy this, no I'm not enjoying this at all,' then think, 'Right I'm going to kill him?' That's a huge jump."
