Russell Brand left a U.S TV host hot under the collar as he offered to end her period of celibacy.

The British comic flirted openly with Sherri Shepherd on The View and told her sex with him would ‘make [her] forget her own name’.

“You look nice,” Brand said, rubbing Shepherd’s leg.

“I like these gladiator-style shoes you are wearing and I like your legs.

“Now, I understand you have been celibate for a while – when are you giving that up?”

A blushing Shepherd fired back: “Don’t start something you can’t finish, Russell.”

Brand put his hand on her arm and said: “I assure you this is an area in which I am not bluffing.

“I will take care of you, I will make you see multi-coloured, I will make you forget your own name – it will be wonderful.

“She seems quite keen, you have got all dressed up, you have got all worked up, now come on.

“You are a very professional group of women – and I feel a combination of relaxed and aroused in your company.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who, like Shepherd, is African-American, then chimed in and asked Brand: “Have you ever had a sister?”

Brand laughed and shot back: “Yeah. In London, we are all at it. Loads and loads, since I was young, like 16.”

Ellen DeGeneres talks to Ryan Seacrest about being new American Idol judge

Ellen DeGeneres – who admits she hates judging people – is worried that American Idol fans think she has taken Paula Abdul’s job.

The 51-year-old comedienne has announced she is to replace the singer in the ninth season of the show but she told American Idol host Ryan Seacrest she is worried she will be seen as the “evil” person that took “Paula’s job away”.

“I hope Paula is OK with it,” DeGeneres said on Seacrest’s breakfast KIIS FM radio show.

“I don’t want anyone to think that that I took Paula’s job away.

“She was gone and then everybody was looking for somebody else and then I stepped in.

“I certainly don’t want to be that person who is the evil-taking-Paula’s-job-away.”

But Seacrest reassured the chat show host that she is “loved by so many people” and she will “add something totally different to a show that’s been on for a long time”.

DeGeneres admitted that she has been an American Idol fan since the show first aired in 2002 and she was shocked when Abdul quit earlier this year.

She said: “I think, like everybody else, Paula was a huge part of the show. It’s been on for eight seasons now…

“I think that she’s part of the American Idol family – that’s how I felt. I was surprised and I don’t really know what happened…

“I was sad and I thought that’s got to be a hole that’s going to be filled by somebody who is really gonna contribute in a totally different way.

“I had no idea. I didn’t think about it for a second it would be me. I was a judge on [US reality show] So You Think You Can Dance – that started people talking.

“They didn’t even ask me to be a guest judge. It went straight from: ‘Would you like to be’ and I had no idea that this was even a possibility.

“And when they came to me, I was like: ‘Oh my God – are you kidding me? I love that show. I absolutely would give almost anything to be a part of it’.”
