Russell Crowe

[Deleted]

My god, that restaurant story! That poor woman must have been mortified. I wonder how RC's wife took the outburst.

Sigh. What is it with me developing huge crushes on people who later turn out to be complete jerks? I had a massive crush on Crowe during the Gladiator period. I also had a huge crush on Val Kilmer and, well, we all know about him by now.

[foxfair]

Same deal with me, Bonsai - used to think he was the hotness, but the pure, undiluted asshole just overwhelmed the hot.

Is anything known about his wife? I can't really imagine what kind of person you would have to be to be married to someone like that. Either it's her job to indulge and encourage that kind of behaviour ("baby, you have so much integrity! never mind what they say!") or she just plays the mommy/wife role and just rolls her eyes and shakes her head when he's naughty. "Oh! Boys will be boys!".

I hate that shit, btw. Boys *will* be boys, but grown men should be men.

McManboobs wife you say?

The odd looking Danielle Spencer.

She's a two bit actress/singer in Australia. Her markedly short bio is on IMDB, surprisingly.

She and The Meat Puppet were a couple for a few years while he was working in Australia. He fucked around with Meg Ryan around the time of Proof of Life (quality) then did an about face and ran home to marry/impregnate his childhood "sweetheart". (Nothing about that womans face screams 'sweet'.)

Good to see her website is racking up the hits at a blistering rate.

Her last album, despite it being released with more than a little help from Lardy, was a monumental flop. I don't even think it got radio play, which is saying something because we have about 2 radio stations in Australia, and one of them is the community channel.

I think she's got an oddly shaped head and has a face you could crack nuts with.

Shut it fat boy. RW has you licked

The whole situation bugs. This could be a big chance for RW to break into good film roles. Fatty McMantits will fuck it all up. Mr. Uber-masculine (aside from the mantits) badass, playing Liberace? WTF? I doubt he has the range.

"I owe you my best work. I don't owe you a good attitude."

I agree he doesn't owe anyone a good attitude. But he doesn't have to treat people like shit if it isn't warranted. Sooner or later people reap the results of the asshat-ish seeds they've sown. He's made many enemies with his unneccesary assclowning. I'll suck up that schaden when karma kicks his ass.

[foxfair]

Dool, you make me crack up. I suspect if we were ever to speak irl I would spend the entire conversation inhaling coffee and giggling.

This *is* an interesting quote:

"I owe you my best work. I don't owe you a good attitude."

I mean, technically, none of us owe anyone else a "good attitude". Most people just try to curtail their inner jerks because life sucks if everyone's letting their jerk flag fly. There's something particularly offputting about people who somehow think being an asshole is some kind of badge of authenticity. Uh, no, it just...means your an asshole. That's all.

Russell needs to soak his head. And his wife? Her face looks all bent.

[Deleted]

Oh, Shut Up, Russel. You're not helping the situation.

[dool]

Ah sweet merciful crap!

"The photographs of Schapelle Corby broke my heart," Crowe said today to John Laws on Sydney radio 2UE

Shut the fuck up, fatboy! Of all the people to talk to, he chooses a 2-bit 'Valvoline' right wing shock jock. I'm sure Beatrice in Wagga Wagga is heartened to know she and Fatsy are on the same page.

"We just gave Indonesia how many hundreds of millions of dollars in tsunami relief?" he said.

I want to stab him in the eye with a fork. Really the two things are completely un-fucking-related. Clearly the man has too much time off between refried Oscar bait films. People gave their money to Indonesia (and the surrounding area) for Tsunami relief, not to buy free motherfucking passes with the governments in our region. The two things should bare no relationship to each other. Fuck.

"We're not disrespecting your (Indonesia's) laws or anything, but in our minds we think there is a massive doubt here."

No there is a massive doubt in SOME peoples minds FuckBucket, and I have to wonder how much of that is because she's a 'mildly' attractive female.

"You know it as well as I do - all of these things, international diplomacy, can be moved to meet the needs of the individual country in that time.

When the fuck were you deemed an expert on diplomatic relations in the Asia pacific region? Shut. it.

If FuckBucket needs to get his panties in a twist over this perhaps he should direct his 'outrage' at the buffoons at QANTAS who let 4kg of grass go through baggage and out of the country in the first place.

He's fucking stupid and ill-informed.

ETA: My posts should come with a language warning.

FoxFair, I rage and rant more in IRL than here, like an angry, angry old woman in a young persons badly formed body. I'm surprised anyone gives me the time of day!

[foxfair]

FuckBucket? FUCKBUCKET?!?!!

BA HA HAAA!

OK, sorry. Ahem.

Russell, my dear man, you are an AC-TOR (and a hammy one at that). Your training is in acting. In front of a camera. In movies and the like. Whatever gives you the impression that your opinions on matters of foreign relations and international law are worthy, in any way?

Dude's ego is so huge. It's astonishing.

Can everyone please stop calling Russell Crowe Australian?

He is from New Zealand!

And even if he were Australian, I'd think of some way to avoid claiming him as one of our own. He's neither a nice person, nor a particularly good actor.

Also, while I think Schapelle Corby is innocent, Russell should stay the hell out of the situation because it is not going to help.

[Auroranorth]

I haven't heard about this case before, but am bemused to see Russell Crowe being treated as an authority. On anything. He obviously flunked logic, and should please go quiet down. In Antarctica. (No, wait, not Antarctica. I feel for the penguins and seals... Borneo? Headhunters do still exist there, right?)

Maybe they think the size of his ego can only fit in Australia? NZ is a bit too small for him.

Miss Manners doesn't accept excuses, even if they come with a note from your mother. This helps bring about the fall of polite society. "In fact, as she looks out the window at all those people brandishing their excuse notes, there it goes."

Russell Crowe doesn't get a pass on rudeness any more than the rest of us. Yes, we all have bad days, but he seems to feel that being Russell Crowe should get him off the hook.
