I am strangely charmed by Russell Brand — which isn’t uncommon for the ladies, I’ve heard — and yet his voice isn’t the most soothing sound to every hit the human eardrum. For this reason, I can’t exactly say that I’m excited to catch him belting out the tunes of the 80s in Rock of Ages, which (in case you live under a rock) comes out this weekend. Still, he’s one of the more fascinating celebrities to dig up dirt on, especially given he’s laid most of it out for public consumption in a move that is quite the opposite of what most A-list celebs tend towards these days. If you’ve read his memoirs, you probably know just about everything there is to know about the 37-year-old comedian, but here are 10 of the juicier tidbits for those of you still in the dark  about Russell’s wild ways:

1. He once wrote a poem with a line that read, “When I fall in love, it will be with my mother.”
