Even
if you don't have much contact with England, and hardly familiar with
British TV programmes, chances are you would have seen or at least heard
of Katie Brand. Just can't avoid all sorts of news of her these days, or with her somehow involved. Mainly through her notorious 'Katie Brand Big Ass Show'. Beats me why the 'big ass' part had to be included but then, from
that, one can guess, no doubt correctly, that it's no cultural or
literary entertainment. The kind of show generally termed 'common as
muck', nevertheless enormously popular and supposedly very funny. I have
to admit my curiosity to find out whether it's just vulgar and
provoking, or intentionally so, created with high intelligence and definite hidden messages to deliver.
At 18, Katie wanted to be Vicar in a prison, for which she studied theology. Until one day she suddenly said to herself: "Wait a minute, everybody else is enjoying life more than I do!" She completed and licensed in her study anyway. Perhaps that had helped her to create The Bride of Jesus, the most memorable comic show, now with the name toned down to 'The show of Katie Brand'. That roll had catapulted her to one of the most prominent names in the entertainment field in Britain. 'The sketches of the bride of Jesus' had also raised wars of controversy for the channel emitting it, and their lawyers have to work very hard to revise every episode to avoid causing fury of the Christians.
"Can't understand what is so bad about Jesus, returning from 40 days and nights in the desert, to find his bride in bed with Mateo, Marcos, Lucas and Juan. Okay, if it was Jesus ... but the Bible says nothing about the apostles couldn't have sex. For God's sake, they were humans"
Not even her caricature of the Queen Elizabeth of England talking like a ganster had caused more uproar. At aged 29. Katie Brand had converted to be the whiplash of celebrities of films, music and the tabloids. Her 2 favourite characters are: Kate Winslet (for her obsession of appearing normal - making movies since the age of 13, you can't be normal! She said.), and Angelina Jolie. She confessed that she would give anything to spy on her through a keyhole.
"It must be exhausting to live with her. I can imagine Brit Pitt wanting to spend a quiet evening and Angelina says 'let's do it on the floor, with knives. No? Let's go to Rio de Janeiro, right now.' And he, 'Oh, Angelina, I just want to order Chinese and see a film (laughing) I also imagine their friends: 'Do we really have to invite Angelina? She will sure try to do something sexy or savage.' In her sketches, Jolie of the jungle lives in bamboo cabin and Brat Pitt behaves like a monkey.
She did the film 'Good Arrow', playing the girlfriend of a professional dart player. A common type painted like a door with mini-skirt too short to be decent. 'Very, very me ...' she burst out laughing.
