Russell Crowe became enraged when a concert he was playing with band An Ordinary Fear Of God was interrupted by pop music. Poor soundproofing at the hotel he was performing at meant his singing was drowned out by a nightclub next door. He said: "My story-telling is being compromised by shitful music." He then demanded that the crowd complain to management after the concert. An onlooker said: "Russell really had the hump, big style. He started the show in a great mood but it went downhill pretty quickly. Many of his songs are emotional - one is about a family member's suicide - so to have pop music spoiling his mood really tested his patience."

You can't read a story about Russell Crowe without the word "rage" appearing in it somewhere. With all due respect to his "story-telling", most stories about Crowe involve booze, slurred pick-up lines like "hey baby, you wanna see the Maximus in my pants?", punching people in the back, and kangaroos. The only concert I'd pay to see him in would be three hours of David Beckham kicking him in the bean-bag. Now that would be emotional.

2. "30 Odd Foot Of Grunts"

5. One hopes he'll hold his breath while waiting for the call

:eyes:

I was so glad when he didn't win for "Cinderella Man". He is an overrated actor and an asshole. Rumor has it he's also going to father a second child. I hope the kids get her genes!

7. Yeah that's it. 30 Odd Foot of Disgruntled is more like it.

3. Russel Crowe's Fightin' Round the World!

Best Southpark ever...

Especially when his boat "Tuggah" kills itself rather than listen to him sing.

Agreed, hilarious ep!

8. "tested his patience"?

:eyes:

Gimme a break...the guy has less patience than a wolverine.

9. "Shitful"? How poetic. (nt)

[swag]

11. It's a good adjective, but I think he misused it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Good for him! As a musician and performer, I'd have been pissed

as hell if my performance was being interrupted by ANY other concert.

Especially shitful music; i.e., pop music. The only thing worse would have been if it had been rap, hiphop, or salsa interfering with the show.

Go Russel!!!!!

That's fucking intolerable - the night club needs to better soundproof it's walls, or find a more intelligent clientelle that doesn't think that the only way to measure a music's "bitchin'-ness" is the bass.

12. Celebrity is a grotesque, crippling disease

so says Cintra Wilson

The quickest trip to mental illness, says me.

[no name no slogan]

13. Billy Corgan, is that you?

What a shitheel. I'm about as interested in Russell Crowe's "art" as I am in pictures of my last colonoscopy.

Get a fucking life, assbag.

14. "Makin' movies, makin' records"

"..An' fightin' 'round the world"

16. I would have thought

that after the phone throwing incident, the court would have ordered him to go to anger management classes.:argh:
