"Russell Brand has reportedly accused two male celebrities of being paedophiles. The comedian was recording an episode of his US show Brand X when he named the famous men and suggested they were involved in child abuse, the Daily Star reports.  During the performance, Brand began a dialogue about paedophiles, Jimmy Savile and the Operation Yewtree investigation, before naming the men in front of a shocked crowd. He said: &amp;quot;And then you&amp;#039;ve got the lesser ones... the underlings. There&amp;#039;s \u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C. &amp;quot;And some say old \u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C\u00E2\u20AC\u201C is playing around.&amp;quot; The newspaper reports that neither man has been convicted of a sexual offence. Referring to the Jimmy Savile scandal, Brand said: &amp;quot;It puts the whole Sachsgate thing into perspective, doesn&amp;#039;t it? &amp;#039;I f**ked your adult granddaughter!&amp;#039; Not quite the same, is it?&amp;quot;   One audience member said: &amp;quot;A lot of people shuffled in their seats and a few were visibly shocked by the names he mentioned. &amp;quot;No-one had heard these stars being linked to the Savile case. They didn&amp;#039;t have a clue until then.&amp;quot; The agent for one man said there was &amp;quot;no comment&amp;quot; with regards to the incident, while the second did not respond to calls at the time of publication. Brand X was renewed for a second series in November and has returned to FX in an hour-long format. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
