"Russell Brand&amp;#039;s series Brand X has been picked up for 13 more episodes by FX. The comedy talkshow will air a final hour-long episode in 2012 - scheduled for Thursday, November 29.   Brand X - which previously aired in a half-hour format - will then return to FX on February 7, 2013 with a new run of hour-long episodes. &amp;quot;Russell&amp;#039;s irrepressible energy and unique style have made Brand X a daring show where anything can happen,&amp;quot; said Nick Grad, executive vice president of original programming at FX. Brand claimed in September that future episodes of Brand X would be less &amp;quot;balls-out&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;a bit more normal&amp;quot;. He said: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s really good working with FX, there&amp;#039;s always room to sort of ask, &amp;#039;How can this be done different? How can we amend this?&amp;#039; &amp;quot;But something that I want to do is to talk about current affairs in an honest and truthful way. And I think this will give me the best chance of doing that.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Russell Brand: &amp;#039;I want Star Wars Episode 7 role&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Russell Brand admits David Beckham crush: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;d eat food off his body&amp;#039; Watch a promo for Brand X below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
