Russell Brand is planning to name his next book 'Mein Kampfy Wampf' in tribute to Adolf Hitler.

The controversial comedian - whose autobiography 'My Booky Wook' was a bestseller in 2007 - has revealed the title of his next tome will be a spoof on the Nazi leader's book 'Mein Kampf'.

Calling for ideas on social networking website Twitter, Russell wrote: "Tweets included in 'Mein Kampfy Wampf' will be credited, especially those that build an anti-Hitler utopia."

Russell is no stranger to controversy

The presenter - who was previously sacked by MTV for dressing as Osama Bin Laden the day after the 9/11 terror attacks on America - resigned from his Radio 2 show last October amid public pressure over a serious of lewd answering machine messages he left veteran actor Andrew Sachs.

Although the 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' star's choice of title is attracting criticism, Russell has been named a New Legend of Comedy by Vanity Fair magazine.

The British star appears dressed as silent movie star Charlie Chaplin in the latest edition of the US publication, in a spread entitled 'Laughing Matter: Comedy's New Legends'.

Seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Leslie Mann, 'Saturday Night Live' star Bill Hader, Jason Bateman, Jonah Hill and Jason Siegel also feature.
