You know, I'm starting to think, that Danielle Spencer is more of 'minder,' than a wife to this tool: According to the London Sun newspaper, Spencer's overheard reaction to news of Crowe's arrest was: "No, not again, I told you I should have stayed. I want you to fly back today."First of all, is he whipped or WHAT?! This man doesn't need a 'wife,' he needs Jo Frost, the Super Nanny. My GOD. His wife is essentially saying - see, I shouldn't have left you to your own devices you crazy irascible chunk....if I had been there when you returned, you wouldn't have turned into the hulk and started pitching phones at people. Great relationship to be in for her - she's got two kids. ...and from what it sounds like, she's an enabler extraordinaire. Instead of calling him out -- she's saying, ' Oh you ape, if only you hadn't sent me home, I could have soothed your savage heart.

Here's an MSN.com article about Russell's treatment of both the hotel clerk and Craig Bierko. Nothing new really, except that I missed the informatin that Bierko was the only person not invited to Russell's birthday party.

His response to this incident is different. Usually he acts all self-righteous when he does something wrong - now he's all repentant unless his PR people are making him. I hope he really is sorry. He should be. There is no excuse for that behavior, but to be fair I've gotten off long flights and I'm not a pleasant person either, but I've never thrown anything at anyone. I've wanted to, badly! There's one incident where I swear it took all my self-control...I'll leave it at that. Back to Crowe, time will tell if he's going to change. If he gets some counseling, I'll maybe go see Cinderella Man...maybe.

Crowe personifies the term "spoiled brat" like no one else in Hollywood at the moment - which, hell, is saying something. He's just so self-involved. In almost every situation he's in he makes the automatic assumption that what he thinks and feels about said situation is somehow of paramount importance.
Dude, I don't care what your reasons were (and jetlag + homesickness? not very justifying) - you can't just throw phones at people's heads when you're pissed off! He needs to start acting like a grown man.
As for all this contrite business now, I'm sure his people have told him this could be serious and the statements he's making now are with a future court date in mind - i.e. "but your honour, I apologized, I repented, I felt horrible, it won't happen again" etc. etc.

No kidding. I travel a lot for my job, and I don't handle jet lag very well, but you know what I do when I'm pissy, homesick, and jet lagged and it's 4 am? I go to bed.

Mr. Crowe is supposed to be on David Letterman tonight. And on Conan afterwards.
We'll see if he can Hugh Grant this.

I doubt he'll be able to, but it'll be fun to watch. One thing struck me about his 'Inside the Actors Studio,' (which I only saw a little bit of), he looked down at his lap the entire time, and didn't seem at all, the charismatic and entertaining man that he pretends to be in various interview sessions.
I think that's how it is with a lot of people in the performing arts, they are actually insecure people with a great many problems, that they attempt to exorcise through creative expression.
In Crowe's case, he's usually acting OFF-screen as well, to present a different image than the terribly insecure bloke who went around until the age of 25 without a front tooth cuz he couldn't afford to replace it. The real Crowe, was the dude crying and feeling remorseful (for ONCE) about this incident.
Now before you start feeling sorry for Crusty - this karma was long time coming, he's pulled way too many crappy things on decent people (Jocelyn Moorehouse is a perfect example, not to mention insults to DeNiro, Clooney, Bierko and who knows how many others...Mike Walker details another recent nasty incident when he threatened a fan for inquiring if the rumor was true that he got knocked out by a pro boxer while training for Cinderella...Crowe got really red, and had to be restrained...he was screaming that he would break the guys legs, and calling him all kinds of mothereffer...the guy that asked the harmless question was terrified) -- I say all that to say...if this hadn't happened, I think he would have continued on.
Hopefully, it's a reality check, and he's made to realize that it's not JUST this one incident, but basically his obnoxious nasty behavior overall that he needs to change.
He could look on this as a chance to turn over a new leaf...
....but knowing Crusty, if he's given a break (which he probably will be), he'll try and do damage control, by being even more arrogant and obnoxious.

Truer words were never spoken...
And no worries on Fuckbucket getting sympathy from me. His abuse of power in dealing with, and thorough working over of Jocelyn Moorhouse alone was enough to earn this latest karmic smackdown.

Just when it seems like this story couldn't get more snarkworthy, along comes the ManboobsApologyTour (MAT, for short). Given RC's more pugilistic tendencies, MAT might be the perfect name for it. If this were an isolated incident, like Hugh Grant/Divine Brown, I might've considered feeling sorry for him, but Manboobs has a history of assaulting people and getting away with it time & time again. Besides finally facing some long overdue prison time, Manboobs' tantrum du jour could do serious damage to his chances of a Best Actor Oscar nomination for Cinderella Man, if not destroy them altogether. In some MPAA members' minds, Sean Penn's decking a paparazzi's one thing; RC's throwing the phone at an innocent bystander's another. Between Phonegate and that GQ interview, I'll bet that somewhere, George Clooney, Robert de Niro & Craig Bierko are laughing their asses off, and rightfully so.
