Russell Brand was spotted taking a call Tuesday, but one thing he doesn't just phone in is his respect for Hinduism.
Brand was wearing a Broome St. Temple tee -- the Broome St. Temple in New York is home to three Hindu shrines.
Russell and wife Katy Perry were married in a Hindu ceremony in India last October. The actor, who is very spiritual, has often talked about how he frequently meditates.

Marie Claire
Olivia Wilde is opening up in the latest issue of Marie Claireabout her divorce from Italian prince husband Tao Ruspoli, and the hottie admits that she's not so great at being in the dating pool again!
Wilde eloped with Ruspoli at age 18, and the two were married for eight years. She filed for divorce in March. She says:
"I'm a case of arrested development ... from spending your 20s with someone who really loves to take care of you, as my husband did. But I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."
Wilde says that though she's figuring out how to be on her own, she's struggling with new relationships.
"I'm trying to be adult, entering the shark pool of dating, but I'm hopeless at it. I think of myself as being very cool and independent and not jealous, but I like clarity. I ask a lot of questions. A guy recently said to me, 'Maybe it's because you were raised by journalists, but you really want facts!'"
Since her split, Wilde has been linked to Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake.
Wilde also talked about how the break-up has helped her career ... see what she said after the jump, plus behind-the-scenes video of her cover shoot!
