Leeza Ormsby could be detained for 40 days in a Bali police cell without being charged, but police say the drugs case against the NZ woman is strong.
Ormsby, 37, was formally questioned on Thursday night, 16 days after she was arrested at a drug raid on a villa north of Kuta.
Her lawyer Ari Soenardi says she was cooperative and calm through the five-hour process.
His client has admitted to owning a marijuana joint that was in her handbag, but Mr Soenardi says she has no knowledge of the MDMA and hashish found in the villa, which she was only visiting to pick up her towel and laptop.
"The police are still trying to link Leeza with the others," he said on Friday.
"That's police business. We're only focusing on Leeza with the evidence she has admitted to."
Chief of Denpasar's drugs squad, Agus Tri Waluyo, says police have the right to detain the New Zealander for 20 days, but can extend this to 40 days if needed.
"We actually want to finish documenting this as soon as possible, but it all depends on what develops," he said.
"So far, the suspect has fulfilled strong elements for the crime."
At the raid, Ormsby told police there had been a party at the villa, but that her five friends had already left Bali.
Sydney musician Azaria Byrne, has since come forward to say he was the one who booked the villa, and that he believes the woman whom he only met once is innocent.
Another has been identified in media reports as Sydney DJ and Ormsby's ex-lover Marco Mazzucco, who witnesses say was questioned by police but allowed to return to Australia.
Major Waluyo would say only that police were focusing on Ormsby and "a number of other witnesses".
"If there's a development ... we'll certainly follow it up by coordinating with Interpol," he said.
Electric scales, tape and plastic wrap were also seized from the Canggu villa.
Police could charge Rotorua-born Ormsby with drug distribution, an offence that carries a maximum 20-year jail term in Indonesia, or possession, which carries a penalty of between four and 12 years' jail.

"You have English blood, like us," Miss Rose assured Eliza when she was old enough to understand. "Only someone from the British colony would have thought to leave you in a basket on the doorstep of the British Import and Export Company, Limited. I am sure they knew how good-hearted my brother Jeremy is, and felt sure he would take you in. In those days I was longing to have a child, and you fell into my arms, sent by God to be brought up in the solid principles of the Protestant faith and the English language."The family servant, Mama Fresia, has a different point of view, however: "You, English? Don't get any ideas, child. You have Indian hair, like mine." And certainly Eliza's almost mystical ability to recall all the events of her life would seem to stem more from the Indian than the Protestant side.
As Eliza grows up, she becomes less tractable, and when she falls in love with Joachin Andieta, a clerk in Jeremy's firm, her adoptive family is horrified. They are even more so when a now-pregnant Eliza follows her lover to California where he has gone to make his fortune in the 1849 gold rush. Along the way Eliza meets Tao Chi'en, a Chinese doctor who saves her life and becomes her closest friend. What starts out as a search for a lost love becomes, over time, the discovery of self; and by the time Eliza finally catches up with the elusive Joachin, she is no longer sure she still wants what she once wished for. Allende peoples her novel with a host of colorful secondary characters. She even takes the narrative as far afield as China, providing an intimate portrait of Tao Chi'en's past before returning to 19th-century San Francisco, where he and Eliza eventually fetch up. Readers with a taste for the epic, the picaresque, and romance that is satisfyingly complex will find them all in Daughter of Fortune. --Margaret Prior --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

If anyone is thinking about reading one of Ms. Allende's books and hasn't already read one in the past, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and read her books in order of publication! When you get to her incomparable memoir, Paula, you will really appreciate how Ms. Allende came up with all her wonderful stories. While Eva Luna is probably my favorite work of fiction, Paula is just in a class all by itself - but you really need to be familiar with Ms. Allende's previous work to really appreciate all that is in Paula.
However,in this case, Allende's unravelling of the plot leaves too many knots intact at the end. Even allowing for the mysteries of magical realism, I have the feeling that the editors of a less well established author would never let her get away with that; the reader is left with the gnawing feeling that Allende tired of her plot: after tossing in several random clues, the author grew bored, lost focus, and dropped the story abruptly.
Since Allende is such a wonderful writer, I would add my voice to those of other readers who would like her to alleviate our frustration by presenting us with a satisfying sequel.

Santa Ana priest to bless streets
SANTA ANA Rev. John Moneypenny, pastor of St. Joseph Church, will lead several hundred parishioners on a 14-block procession during the 17th annual Blessing of the Streets, slated to start at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 28.
The Palm Sunday tradition was started by former pastor Rev. Christopher Smith in 1993 in response to a surge in violence and gang-related shootings in the Minter Street neighborhood.
Participants will celebrate the holy day and ask God to protect the community, by offering prayers and blessing the streets with holy water while en route.
"There has been a decrease in violence since Fr. Smith began this procession and blessing in 1993," Moneypenny said in a prepared statement. "However, Santa Ana continues to be the most violent city in Orange County and it is important that we remain vigilant and committed to Christ's mission of peace."
St. Joseph Church is at 727 Minter St.

Convicted drug dealer charged with murder of Hollywood movie executive who went missing two years ago 'after having an affair with suspect's wife'
- John Lenzie Creech, 42, was charged with 57-year-old Gavin Smith's death
- Skull and other remains belonging to Smith were found in Angeles National Forest in Palmdale, Los Angeles, in October
- Smith had not been seen alive since May 1, 2012
- Father of three, 57, was unfaithful and involved in drugs, wife said last year
- Smith allegedly had an affair with Creech's wife, whom he met in drug rehab in 2009
- Creech is currently serving eight-year jail sentence in 2012 drug case
A convicted drug dealer has been charged with murdering a Hollywood studio executive whose remains were found in the desert last fall, nearly two years after his disappearance.
John Lenzie Creech, 42, was charged Thursday with 57-year-old Gavin Smith's death, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Smith, who was married with three children, was last seen leaving a female friend's home in Ventura County's Oak Park neighborhood May 1, 2012.

Case closed: Drug dealer John Lenzie Creech (left), 42, has been charged with the 2012 murder of 57-year-old Hollywood movie studio executive Gavin Smith (right)
Femme fatale: Smith allegedly had an affair with Creech's wife, Chandrika (pictured), whom he met in drug rehab in 2009
Hikers discovered the remains about 70 miles away, near Palmdale in rural Antelope Valley, on October 26, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.
Authorities said earlier they had found Smith's black 2000 Mercedes-Benz at a Simi Valley storage facility nine months after his disappearance. Its condition along with witness statements led them to believe Smith was killed.
Investigators found Smith's blood and body tissue, including skin stuck to the car's seat.
He was declared dead in May of 2014 and a death certificate was issued for him, even though no remains had been found.
In November, police said a skull and other bones found by hikers in a shallow grave in the desert east of Los Angeles had been identified as belonging to Smith. Authorities have not said how Smith was killed.
Creech has been a longtime person of interest in the Sheriff's Department investigation.
Missing: 20 Century Fox executive Gavin Smith was last seen on May 1, 2012. After a year investigating his disappearance, police declared Smith dead and said it was a homicide case
The storage facility where Smith's car was found was linked to Creech, who is serving an eight-year jail sentence after pleading no contest to one count of transportation for sale of a controlled substance in September 2012.
A law enforcement official previously told the Associated Press that Smith was believed to have had a romantic relationship with Creech's wife, Chandrika, after meeting her in drug rehabilitation in 2009.
Smith was with Fox's movie distribution department for nearly 18 years and was a branch manager for several theaters. He was also known for playing on UCLA's 1975 national championship basketball team.
Creech is scheduled to be arraigned on the new felony charge Monday. If convicted, he faces 25 years to life in state prison.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said in November that hikers stumbled across human remains in the area of the Angeles National Forest on October 26, KTLA5 reported.
They were later identified as the 57-year-old husband and father of three sons. A cause of death has not yet been determined, as autopsy results were not finasalizedNishida said.
Found: Police today confirmed the identity of a body found on October 26 as that of Smith (pictured with wife Lisa)
Happier times: Gavin Smith (left) and wife Lisa with their three sons Dylan, Evan and Austin
Smith, pictured here with his family, was apparently setting up a home for his mistress and her family
Smith was last seen in May in Ventura County in Los Angeles after leaving a friend's home.
His wife, Lisa, reported him missing the following day when he failed to pick up their eldest son, Evan, to take him to school, as he had promised to do.
In March last year, police found Smith's black Mercedes Benz 420E at a Simi Valley storage facility that belonged to John Creech.
At the time he disappeared, Smith was reportedly having an affair with John Creech's wife, Chandrika Creech, whom he met in drug rehab. John Creech is currently in prison on unrelated drug charges.
Frustrated police said that while they had a number of leads in the investigation, they did not have enough evidence to lay charges and the absence of a body was a significant hole in the case.
Two years after going missing, in May 2014, a death certificate was issued for Smith, with the death officially recorded as May 1, 2012 - the day he disappeared.
Gavin and Lisa Smith on their wedding day. At the time of his disappearance, Gavin Smith was in the grip of a mid-life crisis involving drugs and at least two mistresses, Mrs Smith said
Revelations about Smith's double life, which played out in the public eye after his disappearnce, was devastating to his wife and three sons Dylan, Evan and Austin.
Shortly after he disappeared, Lisa Smith told MailOnline last year that she felt instinctively that something bad had happened to her husband.
'I think he was murdered,' she said in the interview. 'And I am terrified that whoever did it is going to come after me and our boys.'
She said she believed her husband was in the grip of a mid-life crisis that involved drugs and sex with at least three women.
Gavin earned $180,000 a year at Fox, distributing hit movies including the Star Wars and Terminator series, Avatar and Titanic. But the couple were struggling to maintain their lavish Hollywood lifestyle and pay the mortgage on their three-bedroom home in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hills.
Lisa, an accountant who supported her husband during the early years of their marriage while he struggled as a bit-part actor, discovered he had taken money from his pension fund and squandered his year-end Fox bonus.
She also discovered he had a second mistress, named Melanie, in addition to Mrs Chandrika Creech, and he was apparently setting up a home for her and her family.
It was then - two weeks before he disappeared - that Lisa Smith threw her husband out of the house.
Mrs Smith, in the MailOnline interview, said her husband appeared to be in the grip of a mid-life crisis in the time leading up to his disappearance, talking about buying new cars for his sons and dressing to impress women.
'In hindsight, all the signs were there. He was dressing like a 20-year-old to go to drug rehab meetings and working out like mad,' she said.
She said Fox stopped paying her husband's salary two months after he disappeared and cleared out his office. Staff left several cardboard boxes of personal items, including framed family photos and golf trophies, on Lisa's front porch.
Apr. 14, 2012: Gavin's 21-year-old son, Evan, takes to Twitter to express his frustration over a family situation. 'Thoughts and prayers out to my amazing Mom and bros plz,' the USC student writes. 'My dad decided to leave the family last nite. Real family sticks together.'
May 1, 2012: Gavin spends the night with a family friend in Oak Park, Calif. At 10 p.m., he is driving his Mercedes near his home in San Fernando, Calif.
May 2, 2012: Despite making plans with Lisa to take their son to school, Gavin is a no-show. Lisa reports her husband as missing to the Los Angeles Police Department.
May 4, 2012: Detectives issue a special missing persons bulletin in an effort to locate the father of three.
May 8, 2012: Lisa pleads to her husband on Good Morning America: 'We want you to come home, baby. Our world is not right without you…Be safe.'
May 9, 2012: Gavin's family and friends launch findgavinsmith.com in an effort to get any information about his whereabouts.
June 5, 2012: Sheriff's Department homicide detectives and family members hold a press conference asking for the public's assistance with any information as to Smith's whereabouts.
June 8, 2012: Homicide detectives, along with a canine unit and crime lab analysts, execute a search warrant at a residence in the San Fernando Valley district of Canoga Park. Local media report that police now suspect foul play in Smith's disappearance.
March 12, 2013: The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says a Mercedes-Benz registered to Gavin Smith was found Thursday at a Simi Valley storage facility. Authorities say that the storage facility was linked to a man who's jailed on an unrelated drug conviction.
November 5, 2014: The Los Angeles Country Sheriff's Department says a body found on October 26 by hikers in Palmdale, California, has been identified as that of Gavin Smith. Autopsy results are still to be completed and a cause of death had not been determined.

Did Trump Praise Kim Jong Un?
Hillary Clinton distorts the facts when she accuses Donald Trump of "heaping praise" on North Korea strongman Kim Jong Un. Trump has called Kim a "maniac" and a "madman" who is "sick enough to use" nuclear weapons.
A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center
Hillary Clinton distorts the facts when she accuses Donald Trump of "heaping praise" on North Korea strongman Kim Jong Un. Trump has called Kim a "maniac" and a "madman" who is "sick enough to use" nuclear weapons.
Hillary Clinton went too far when she claimed that Donald Trump said "we should pull out of NATO." Trump said that he would "certainly look at" pulling the U.S. out of NATO, because it is "obsolete" and "is costing us a fortune."
Donald Trump continues to make the puffed-up assertion that Russian President Vladimir Putin called him a "genius." Russian language experts tell us that Putin described Trump as "colorful" or maybe "bright," but he never called Trump a genius.
Donald Trump says that "instead of taking charge" during the Benghazi attacks, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "decided to go home and sleep." Clinton says she was continuously engaged in responding to the attack and "did not sleep all night."
Republican Donald Trump criticized U.S. military support for Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany and South Korea, saying "we can't afford it." We'll answer the question: What exactly does the U.S. provide in terms of military support to these countries?
Clinton, Sanders face off on foreign policy, health care, wages and Social Security in round two.
Sens. Rubio and Cruz have implied that Iran released U.S. hostages in 1981 on the day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated because Reagan ushered in a new foreign policy. But several experts on the crisis told us the timing was a final insult to President Jimmy Carter, whom the hostage-takers despised.
Donald Trump made two false statements on ABC's "This Week" while discussing foreign policy and the Republican presidential primary.
Donald Trump implied he had met Russian President Vladimir Putin while taping an episode of "60 Minutes." The two were interviewed separately, in different countries. Carly Fiorina said she met Putin "in a private meeting." It was before a conference.
Jeb Bush claims that President Obama "believes that America's leadership and presence in the world is not a force for good." But we found 19 instances of Obama describing the U.S. as "a force for good," or something very similar.
Q: Does President Obama want to increase his pension?
A: No. Obama requested an additional $588,000 in FY2017 to cover pensions and other costs for four former presidents plus "new spending for new former President Barack Obama."

All-Star Game: Expect 'classic' dunk contest
HOUSTON -- Blake Griffin knows something about exciting dunk contests. In 2011, Griffin stole the show by dunking over a Kia at Staples Center to win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
And when he looks at this year's field, which includes his teammate Eric Bledsoe, he sees potential for a big Saturday night.
"I'm excited for it," he said Friday during media availability at All-Star Weekend.
Bledsoe's excited too, and he met with the press and delivered a bit of a teaser.
"I got something pretty interesting, pretty exciting for the fans," Beldsoe said. "It's going to be classic."
The Clippers' third-year guard has never been in a dunk contest before, but he's gotten a bunch of advice fro teammates and coaches. Clippers' assistant Robert Pack finished second in the 1994 contest and has given Bledsoe plenty of advice.
Bledsoe said Vince Carter's arm-through-the-rim dunk in the 2000 dunk contest is his favorite dunk, and Bledsoe said he could imitate Carter.
But don't expect him to Saturday.
"I'm short," he said. "I don't want to break my arm."
Griffin said Saturday's a chance for Bledsoe to really raise his profile as an NBA player. "This is a pretty big stage to go out there and put on a show," Bledsoe said. "People want to see great dunks, and he can do great dunks. This is a great opportunity for him.

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced that it has been recognized by Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com as having the most affordable five-year cost of ownership among any other automotive manufacturer. As a result, Mazda is the recipient of the "2014 5-Year Cost to Own Award," for overall brand, the highest and most prestigious award among the 5-Year Cost to Own Awards from Kelley Blue Book.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131205/MM28870LOGO)
"Hard work and dedication to building the best possible vehicles has brought Mazda to its second consecutive year earning the 5-year Cost to Own Award for the overall Mazda brand," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO. "Mazda's new generation of vehicles continue to perform very well against the competition, not only with driving dynamics and fit and finish, but fuel economy and overall cost of ownership, and this award is additional proof of that."
"New-car shoppers naturally want to know how much a car will cost upfront; however, they also should consider what vehicles will save them money down the road," said Dan Ingle, vice president of vehicle valuations for Kelley Blue Book. "Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own information evaluates the other out-of-pocket expenses drivers will incur in the first five years and Mazda tops the list among all non-luxury brands."
KBB.com cites Mazda's ability to offer consumers a low Kelley Blue Book® Fair Purchase Price, excellent fuel economy thanks to SKYACTIV®[1] TECHNOLOGY, low insurance costs and excellent residual values, which help boost consumer confidence when buying a Mazda. Thanks to these factors, Mazda is able to offer consumers an ownership experience that is both enjoyable and affordable, two things that don't always accompany each other. Best of all, the 2014 5-Year Cost to Own Award for Mazda means that this experience can be had across multiple carlines in the Mazda brand, including Mazda3, Mazda6, and CX-5.
The 5-Year Cost to Own Awards honors the vehicles and brands (luxury and non-luxury) with the lowest projected ownership costs, based on Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com 5-Year Cost to Own data for new cars for the initial five-year ownership period. While depreciation (or loss of value) and fuel costs may be the greatest expense incurred in owning a vehicle, there are other factors that can have a significant impact on a consumer's pocketbook. Available on Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, 5-Year Cost to Own information takes into consideration depreciation, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and state fees for new models. Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own Awards, like all new- and used-car information provided by KBB.com, exist to help shoppers make more informed new-car buying decisions by breaking down typical ownership cost details and naming the brands and models with the lowest projected five-year total.
For more information about the 2014 Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Awards, visit http://www.kbb.com/new-cars/5-year-cost-to-own-awards.
Founded in 1926, Kelley Blue Book, The Trusted Resource®, is the only vehicle valuation and information source trusted and relied upon by both consumers and the industry. Each week the company provides the most market-reflective values in the industry on its top-rated website www.kbb.com, including its famous Blue Book® Trade-In and Suggested Retail Values and Fair Purchase Price, which reports what others are paying for new cars this week.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Millionaire comedian and former Mr Katy Perry, Russell Brand pays thousands a month to his tax-exile landlords despite campaigning against rocketing rent prices
- Russell Brand called Channel 4 reporter 'snide' after asking about his rent
- Comedian lives in £2million home owned by a firm based in a tax haven
- Flew into rage when it was suggested he is part of the housing problem
- Brand is said to live in a chic fourth-storey flat in a converted warehouse
- Pays around £5,000 a month for three-bedroom property in East London
- Star worth £9m admitted he 'shouldn't be allowed on TV' after interview
- 'I'm so easily wound up. I'm volatile person - I was a drug addict for a long time, because I have very, very strong feelings,' he said
Millionaire Russell Brand ranted about rising rents in London even though he lives in a £2million bachelor pad owned by a firm based in a tax haven.
The comedian and self-styled revolutionary flew into a rage when it was suggested he is part of the housing problem in trendy Hoxton, east London, where he rents a £5,000-a-month loft.
The star, believed to be worth £9million, was helping deliver a petition on affordable housing to 10 Downing Street on Monday.
But Brand lost his temper during a housing protest in Downing Street when TV reporter Paraic O'Brien asked him whether the super-rich buying up property in London was driving up prices for everyone else.
The incensed star said he is 'part of the solution' and called the reporter a 'snide' for asking how much he pays in rent.
Scroll down for video
Upset: Russell Brand called a journalist a 'snide' after he was asked how much he paid in rent for his London home
Support: New Era resident Lindsey Garrett, who along with hundreds of others fears eviction, defended Brand for being 'prepared to come out of his big house and help us' - unlike David Cameron
Concerns: More than 90 households within The New Era Estate in Hoxton, East London, fear the plan to charge 'market rents' will treble their bills and force them out of the area
Asked the value of the house he lived in, he replied that his home is rented but refused to give any indication of what he pays.
The Hoxton and Shoreditch areas of east London, where Russell Brand lives, have been transformed into the trendiest area of the capital.
It was decimated by the blitz and became an industrial wasteland and before that in the Victorian era it was filled with slums.
But now it is the favoured place for many in new media and art, including Brand, Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.
Local experts say that in 2007 buyers paid an average of £541 per sq ft for Shoreditch residential compared with in excess of £1,200 per sqft last year.
Russell Brand is believed to live in a three bedroom loft-style house in a converted Victorian factory in the heart of trendy east London where rents are in excess of £5,000 a month.
The area is also with walking distance of the City and has become popular with rich financiers.
Brand, who is estimated to be worth £9million thanks to his comedy shows, films and books, is understood to live in a chic fourth-storey flat in a converted warehouse in East London, paying around £5,000 a month in rent.
The three-bedroom property with roof terrace, in the heart of trendy Shoreditch, is worth about £2million and is owned by a property firm based in the British Virgin Islands.
With the national average wage only around £2,000 a month before tax, renting it would be well beyond the reach of most people.
Brand, whose current best-selling book Revolution is an anti-capitalist diatribe, became aggressively defensive when O'Brien questioned him.
Asked about the value of his home, the 39-year-old angrily replied: 'I'm not interested in talking to you about my rent, mate. I'm here to support a very important campaign.'
Accused of being 'part of the problem' of rocketing housing prices, Brand, 39, said: 'I am part of the solution.'
He suggested his fame meant he was able to 'amplify the voices of ordinary people'.
Asked again about his house, Brand pointed his finger in O'Brien's face and said: 'It's rented. We don't know the value, you would have to talk to my landlord. Blessedly, I can afford my rent and I'm prepared to stand up for people that can't.'
Home: Russell Brand's rented property in Hoxton, which could be worth up to £1.5m for its owner and would rent for upwards of £5,000 a month
Grand: The millionaire reportedly lives here in this loft-style home in trendy Hoxton
Message: Brand has his own YouTube channel and a number of videos are believed to have been made at his east London apartment, including on its roof terrace, left and right
Life of luxury: Brand sits in the open plan kitchen inside the £2million flat in east London
Support: Brand lives less than a mile from the estate and says he is using his fame to give them a voice
Support: Brand marched on Downing Street with hundreds of people from the New Era Estate in east London, who fear they will be forced from their homes after the development was bought by a U.S.-based investor

Refusing to answer further questions about his own housing costs, Brand terminated the two-minute interview and accused the reporter of trying to wreck his campaign, saying: 'Snides like you, mate, undermine it. You're a snide.'
Russell Brand joined hundreds of London tenants who marched on Downing Street because they fear eviction.
Residents of the New Era housing project in Hoxton, east London, live in a development originally built as affordable housing for local workers.
But New York-based Westbrook Partners want to raise rents to market levels and Brand has championed the cause of the tenants.
'It's social cleansing,' said Lindsey Garrett, a health care coordinator with the NHS. 'It's forcing ordinary working-class people out of London. It's wrong.'
Westbrook Partners bought the estate from a family that owned the development since the 1930s. Hackney Council has since been told Westbrook plans to evict the residents while renovations take place. They would be allowed to return if they pay market rates, which would be an estimated three times their present rents.
But the company said that no eviction notices have been sent, nor legal proceedings undertaken.
'Westbrook has told tenants that there will be no changes to their residential leases and no increases in rents during the first half of 2015,' the company said in a statement.
After Brand's fans abused O'Brien on social media, the journalist wrote on Twitter yesterday: 'Is it my job to test tension between private circumstances and publicly-held views of celebrities? Yes.'
Brand, who has posted film of himself inside the flat on his website, was nowhere to be seen yesterday.
The video explained his explosive reaction to questions about his home.
He said: 'I shouldn't be allowed on television because I'm so easily wound up.
Really I should just be like 'What does it matter to me? What does it matter to me? What have I got to lose just from this bloke?' But I'm like a volatile person - I was a drug addict for a long time, because I have very, very strong feelings'.
An estate agent who asked not to be named said of Brand's property: 'We had it on at £1,150 per week two or three years ago.'
The warehouse conversion last changed hands in March 2007 when it was bought by a property firm in the British Virgin Islands for £1.25million, having sold three years earlier at £730,000.
Prices have shot even higher across the capital since.
Brand is understood to have sold a previous home, a five-storey house in Hampstead, North West London, for £2.3million in 2010.
He maintained his refusal to discuss his housing costs yesterday, but in a new video on YouTube described the spat with the reporter as like a 'quarrel at a jumble sale'.
He added: 'I shouldn't be allowed on television. I'm so easily wound up.'
Last night Brand suffered fresh embarrassment when the Plain English campaign declared him winner of its Foot in Mouth award 2014, saying it 'struggled to make sense of most of his comments'.
One Brand passage it quoted was: 'I loved it, and felt very connected to activism – particularly activism that feels loaded with potential. Not the oppositional activism that seems like there's a stasis around it.'
Brand is supporting more than 90 households within The New Era Estate who fear the plan to charge 'market rents' will treble their bills and force them out of the area
Explanation: Brand went into more depth about his comments to the TV reporter in a video on YouTube
Video: Brand admitted in the clip responding to the Channel 4 interview that he was an 'emotional' person
Response: Journalist Paraic O'Brien admitted he had some abusive tweets about his interview
BBC In another bizarre interview in October on Newsnight he also sparked fury after revealing he is 'open-minded' about whether the United States was behind the 9/11 attacks
It is hard to believe that ten years Russell Brand, 39, was almost completely unknown.
But now he is internationally famous and instantly recognisable, and has married or dated some of the world's most famous women.
Brand, an only child from Grays, Essex, was single-handedly brought up by his mother Barbara, after his father Ron walked out when he was six-months-old.
As a teenager he admitted he was a lonely misfit, who suffered mental illness, became overweight and then battled bulimia.
After leaving school and wanting to become an actor after appearing in school production of Bugsy Malone, but his time as drama school ended after he was asked to leave over bad behaviour.
Describing his life at 20 he said: 'I lived on my own in a bedroom in Finsbury Park. I would spend all day eating Weetabix and watching Richard and Judy. I remember thinking, '24 hours have passed and I haven't moved from this spot'.
But a break led to a job on Channel 4, and fame and fortune followed.
His stories of debauchery have become legendary, and in his autobiography My Booky-Wook he tells stories of numerous encounters with prostitutes - one with enormous breasts 'like bin bags filled with lard' whom he visited during his lunch break when working on a TV series.
His womanising meant he has been in relationships with huge number of women, including Kate Moss and other famous faces.
But in 2009 Brand met American pop star Katy Perry. Their 2010 wedding in India was immensely grand, involving entrances on elephants and parties under the stars.
However, within three months he and Perry were reportedly having couple counselling, and in 2012 they divorced.
After a romance with Jemima Khan he now appears to be single and is focussing on his book Revolution and promoting his anti-capitalist ideals.

Russell Brand's speeches and revolutionary book rewarded with prize for complete gobbledygook
Russell Brand's anti-capitalist crusade has led to a best-selling Revolution book and speeches all over the world.
But sadly for the comedian his public speaking and authorship has rewarded with a prize for gobbledygook.
Brand, who achieved notoriety in 2004 as the host of Big Brother's Big Mouth and has most recently been railing against the political system.
But two appearances on Newsnight and his book called Revolution has led to him being named the winner of the Plain English Campaign's Foot in Mouth award for 2014.
Award: Judges said the level of gobbledygook produced by Russell Brand in speeches and in his book was 'out on its own'
The campaign said Brand was 'out on his own' among contenders for the title, adding: 'While we admire Russell's determination to open up a debate about democracy and the dire state of the world, we struggle to make sense of most of his comments.'
Among Brand's quotes singled out by the campaign as award-winners were: 'The internal mayhem I'm feeling is spilling out everywhere. I loved it, and felt very connected to activism - particularly activism that feels loaded with potential. Not the oppositional activism that seems like there's a stasis around it - earnestly sincere, but a monolith equal to the establishment.'
Another quote from Brand's book Revolution reads: 'This attitude of churlish indifference seems like nerdish deference contrasted with the belligerent antipathy of the indigenous farm folk, who regard the hippie-dippie interlopers, the denizens of the shimmering tit temples, as one fey step away from transvestites.'
The City of Edinburgh Council, Local Action Cornwall's Local Development Strategy, HM Revenue and Customs, BT and Buckinghamshire County Council all received Golden Bull gongs for 'the worst examples of written tripe'.
But the awards also celebrated those with a flair for language, with London Mayor Boris Johnson named Plain English Communicator for his comments on gobbledygook in politics.
A Johnson quote that helped win him the title was: 'I think one thing that is incredibly important is to try to speak ... and I fail totally on this and I catch myself endlessly on the radio ... you're waffling and burbling and using all sorts of endless Latinate words in exactly that way.
'What people listen to are short Anglo Saxon words that readily correspond to some object in the universe that they can identify. So in other words talk simply, use plain English and talk about stuff in the real world.'

A judge granted a request to stay American Airlines' antitrust lawsuit in U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, against Sabre, Travelport and Orbitz.
The stay was requested by American, Travelport and Orbitz and was granted by Judge Terry Means, over the vehement objections of Sabre.
Mediation planned
American and Travelport plan to enter mediation to attempt to resolve their differences. They worked with a mediator earlier this year and say a second round could "materially advance settlement."
Orbitz and American are working separately on a resolution.
Sabre opposes stay
Sabre had argued that it would suffer prejudice if the motion for a stay was granted, but the judge said that "a brief stay" is appropriate.
"Sabre contends that it is entitled to efficient resolution of its counterclaims," Judge Means wrote in his decision. "And the Court is sympathetic to this right. At the same time, however, Sabre only recently filed its counterclaims, despite having received the bankruptcy court's permission to do so some time ago."
American's bankruptcy court gave Sabre the go-ahead to pursue a counterclaim last December. Sabre filed the documents, which are sealed, on Aug. 21.
In light of that, the judge wrote, "a brief stay will not cause Sabre any significant or unfair prejudice."
What happens next
The stay will automatically expire on Dec. 21. American and Travelport have told the court that the earliest mediation they could schedule is Dec. 12 and 13.
The judge also extended several deadlines for discovery to January, February or March; the last, for pretrial and dispositive motions, is March 22.
Travelport said it was "very pleased" with the judge's decision; Sabre had no comment.
State trial goes forward
American noted that this extension applies only to the case pending in federal court and will not affect the trial in Texas state court that involves American and Sabre. Jury selection in that case, in the 67th District Court of Texas, Tarrant County, is slated to begin Oct. 9.
In a statement, the carrier said, "We would prefer to resolve our disputes with all the defendants amicably, and we have tried mediation in the past. Those previous efforts did not yield an agreement, and there is no guarantee that future sessions will succeed. However, the litigation has progressed sufficiently that all parties to the motion believe that a new round of mediation to determine if an agreement is possible is warranted."
