The Russell Crowe / George Clooney cat fight. Rawwwwwr! HISSSSS! Fttttt!


Phone-hurling actor Russell Crowe has another salvo for George Clooney. The two have had a verbal battle going on since Crowe attacked Clooney and some other stars for cashing in on their fame by appearing in ads; Clooney fired back that Crowe cashes in on his fame with his rock band. “An endorsement for products is about money. My music is from the heart,” Crowe said, reports Australia’s Northern Territory News. “But what I enjoyed, greatly, is nobody seemed to get the irony that one major franchise in George Clooney’s life is based on the work of Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin . Sammy, Frank and Dean were entertainers in a real sense. And Clooney climbed over their bones in order to enable him to pick up an endorsement for suits.” . . .

2. Going to have to side with Clooney on this one.
Crowe is too easy to knock out of the saddle.

7. Russell Crowe is a douche-bag
with a huge, swollen head.

George Clooney is a great human being.

14. because spelling is a has-been?
She'd be a never-was if not for her dad.

Hey, Russell Crowe isn't the only one who can be catty.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

18. Now, now, haven't you seen her Christmas movie?
It's been on for two years now. One of the many Christmas Carol knockoffs. She plays "Carol".

9. Crowe is an ass
Lots of big stars have made good $$$ by appearing in ads, mainly overseas. One of these days some company is going to dangle a big wad of cash in front of Crowe to do an ad, and when he goes for it Clooney is going to nail him on it -- as he should.

What does Crowe have against Clooney anyway? Clooney may not be the best actor out there but he sounds like a much nicer person than Crowe, who always reminds me of Richard Burton in his wildest, bloated drinking days.

10. Not that I'm ever going to have the choice, But...
...I'd much rather spend an evening with George Clooney than with Russell Crowe.

HOWEVER, I'd rather watch Russell Crowe's acting than George Clooney's. George isn't bad, but Russell is OUTSTANDING.

12. Saucer of milk, table for two, meow!
Clooney all the way. Crowe is a douche...a great actor, IMHO, but a douche. Clooney is a great actor AND a great guy.

13. what a fake cat fight
I bet Crowe and Clooney are getting a good laugh about how they can generate publicity for each other from this fake "beef."

15. If there is an audience, there are self absorbed assholes willing
to cater to it.

Is there news on the Michael Jackson trial yet?

16. I detest Russell Crowe
He's a great actor but I can't stand to watch him because I have so little respect for him personally and I just have a hard time separating that.

George Clooney on the other hand is the kind of person I would call a friend. He's shown by his behaviour what kind of person he is.. he wins with me hands down.

17. I'll take Clooney.
Russell Crowe reminds me of Christopher Hitchens.

19. Crowe: better actor; Clooney: better all-around human being
I like them both, but Clooney demonstrates far more maturity and overall coolness.
