Jan 17 2006Russell Crowe has a short fuse
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.

His storytelling? His effing storytelling? Hey, Maximus -- I wanna see more of you fighting criminals while huge Bengal tigers try to eat you. That's what I want and if I don't get what I want, I'll show up at every "concert" of yours and lead a chant demanding more Air Supply covers.

I guess you can't be picky when the only venue that will book your act is the Red Roof Inn.

Fuck off, Russell Crowe. "Storytelling." HAHAHAHAHA! "My storytelling is being compromised...." What a joke. FUCK OFF.
I'm surprised he didn't start hurling phones at the hotel help.

I'm surprised he didn't start hurling phones at the hotel help. Is there even one person out there who still likes this clown?????

...he has no sense of humor, which translates to "PSYCHO" and he's a sociopath. Turns on the smooth talking charm when he needs to, in between being a professional liar, and beating the crap out of people in his free time. Yes, indeed, sociopath.

It would also be emotional if he just played a friendly game of bean bag toss. Or if he made himself a bean bag chair. It would all be touching, but not in the Michael Jackson sort of way.

Hey Russel, why didn't you just ask everybody in the audience to throw their phones at the management, I hear that really gets your point across well.

Russell needs to get his ego in check. You make a couple of movies and suddenly everything you say or 'sing' requires the publics uninterrupted attention? Please! This guy needs some serious help.

RUSSELL SMASH!!!

I agree with Russell. His story telling was compromised by "shitfull music".....namely - his own.

I love Russell.
He needs to knock out certain people like Tom Cruise and win back the media.
14. Shaun - January 17, 2006 2:59 PM
That would make an excellent story to tell.
Russell Crowe knocks out Tom Cruise. Round 3.
I can just see it with Gun N Roses' music playing in the background "Get in the Ring".
Crowe has more money then he knows what to do with; but yet acts like a complete ass in public.
What a tool.

He did pole Meg Ryan. Can't take that away from him. Hopefully he didn't sing to her.

Someone help me with this, Why is this guy famous?
17. HollyJ - January 17, 2006 4:49 PM
Will someone please just fix his scary wandering eye? His stylist needs to inform him that an exotrophic eyeball is SOOOOOO last century.

Russell Crowe has a short fuse? What is this, a state the obvious web site? Kevin Spacey is gay! Jessica Alba can't act but is smokin' hot! K-fed is white trash! Shall I go on???
19. derekd - January 17, 2006 5:01 PM
Had to add this one after reading the next story. Tommy Lee is ONE UGLY MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

I thought having children was supposed to calm people down and offer introspective reflection, not heighten their rage.

I am not a fan of his machismo, in fact I bet his music is crappy, however I can for the first time see where he would be really pissed. You don't do that sort of shit when you hire someone to play your place. Figure it out ahead of time. "Storytelling" or whatever, frankly that's just corny and egomaniacal. But this time I will side for him being pissed. That was just plain rude.
22. popcornsuite - January 17, 2006 5:54 PM
I can only imagine how he reacts when his baby spits up on him.
23. HughJorganthethird - January 17, 2006 5:59 PM
Damn straight R.C. pop music= muderous rage
24. TiredAndEmotional - January 17, 2006 9:11 PM
Yes! A celebrity boxing match between Russ and Tom...or perhaps between Danielle and Katie?
25. Kitchy - January 19, 2006 11:01 AM
No! A celebrity (this is stretching it) boxing match between Russ and Katie...with Russ having a big baseball bat and katie tied to a chair...and Ton will run around the ring holding the round # sign wearing Danielle's bikini!
