Jan 25 2006Russell Crowe threatens photographers

That is going to suck for him to always have to carry around tar and feathers.

As much as Russell Crow gets a hammering in the news lately about his aggressive behaviour, and I understand the whole point about the fact he choose to be famous therefore must put up with the constant attention from paparazzi, his wife should be allowed some privacy. Not to mention is it required to have photos of her?

1) Find Russel Crowe and his wife in public
2) Pretend to photograph them and take a beating
3) Profit

Russell Crowe has a temper?? whoa, next thing you are going to tell me is Paris Hilton is a dirty pig... or Ricky Martin is gay...

It truly is terrible that the awful paparazzi introduce such early-labor-inducing tension into what is otherwise, no doubt, the zen-like placidity of the Crowe household.

Just more material for "Fightin' Round the World with Russell Crowe"

Actually, I totally agree with his sentiment. One time pushing a car off to the side of the road does not make up for the ten thousand times hiding in bushes and snapping pics of people changing or chasing them down the street.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, we are so scared Russell. Big weeny wuss.

I wouldn't pay to see one of Russell Crowe's movies but I'd pay to watch someone kick the crap out of him. This guy needs a serious swift kick to the gonads.. and fast!

Russell is an arrogant ass, but I don't see what is so "bad" about him wanting to keep his pregnant wife "safe" from the paparazzi. He could approach the matter in nice way and not threatend anyone. But nevetheless..he has every right to be protective of her.

What the hell is Russell Crowe so angry about? I thought he was awesome in "A Beautiful Mind."

It seems like issuing this statement and drawing more publicity to his family would be counter-productive. But what do I know, I'm just a simple caveman.

I think Russel Crowe should be aloud to carry around a sword. Cause then, if he;s in one of his bitchy moods, he just takes out his sword and everyone knows to run away. It's alot cooler to have a sword too, then to be sued for throwing phones at someone.

Watching "Cinderella Man" last night just reaffirmed the dichotomy that is Russell Crowe. In real life he's a pretentious, self-righteous, conceited, dimwitted pig with over-inflated notions of his own intellect and depth, which he demonstrates by resorting to aggression instead of handling his disagreements with a modicum of class or wit. In short - an ignorant thug.

But goddammit if the asshole can't act up a storm. I just can't figure it out. I despise what he stands for, and yet he gets me every time with the acting. Which is why I will always go to see whatever he's in, and forget for a couple of hours what a twit he is.

im not a huge fan of paparazzi but i hope russell crowe gets his ass beat by someone and soon.he's just so damn annoying.

Hilarious :D

It was his wifes fault, she panicked and ran. Its not like they pushed her or made her run.

So you're married and this happens to your 8 month pregnant wife. Do people think celebrities are aliens or something; wouldn't anyone freak out in this situation? Next they take shots through her bathroom window - oh she should have had the blinds down it's her fault.

Apart from that I can't believe that people would want to photograph Russell Crowe, Australians think he's a bit of a dickhead LOL.

Apart from that I can't believe that people would want to photograph Russell Crowe, you can come to Australia if your so desperate to see him he's pretty much open to viewing.

Sorry about the quadruple post, accident lol

I love the way Rusty threatens, makes cranky, nutter faces, goes mental and actually thumps people - especially after reading shit poetry. Who else would dare? What paradoxical metro-manly kinda guy. He's an mystery, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Or he could just be a complete dickhead that should stop embarrassing his family.

I know gossipmonger...they may as well say "Crowe uses the words "Mate" and "No worries".

unlike the rest of you guys, i have a heart.

and when i read this, my first reaction was: i need to set up a task force to keep the paparazzi scum away from russel crowe's wife.

we're not just talking about russel crowe here, we're talking about russel crowe's KID. a baby. a baby that could die because these dumb jerks want a photo of his wife shopping or something.

anyone want to join my task force? i need someone who's good with a crossbow.

He has the symptoms of "tiny penis syndrome"

A woman isnt going to miscarriage from someone taking her photo.
I could understand if she was all of a sudden thrust into this lifestyle whilst pregnant but she has been posing for the paparazzi with her hubby for a long time.

Posing for photos at an event where the paparazzi are actually behind a fence is one thing, but walking down the street- eight months pregnant- and suddenly being rushed and surrounded by paparazzi is very different. She isn't the celebrity here, her husband is... I know by marrying him she put herself in that situation but it's just irresponsible of the paparazzi to do that.
Although... that photo does seem to suggest that Danielle wheres the pants- what is she doing to him? Looks like shes twisting his arm or strangling him or something!

Crowe's lawyer must be licking his chops every time the actor opens his mouth. It sounds like more work for him.

She is not a big woman. Maybe she gave birth 3 weeks early because the baby was the size of a normal 3 year old and her body was like "either it comes out now or never!"

Seriously, the kid's huge! Look at the size of his head...ouch!

"And anyway, I'm not sure that threatening people with tar and feathers is the best way to instill fear. He might as well prance around in a pink leotard and threaten them with lollipops and sugar kisses."

Do you even know what tar/feathering is? I'd be pissing my pants if someone threatened to do that to me x_X Your comparison sounds like it's purely naive, and uninformed.

That being said, Russel does overract, but the paparrazi are jerks. I don't know who to believe on this one.

Tarred and feathered, Russell? Much too weak for you.. Maybe you should have threatened them with falling pianos and acme anvils...

Russell Crowe is a definitely a publicity whore. In this case I guess it would 'he-she' whore.

Poster # 3 is onto something though. :D

I like Larry's point (#5). However (oh ik, here comes the defending RC point...) I felt very vulnerable during my two pregs - you're convinced that juggernauts are comin at ya, and that loonies are waiting behind every bush. And for her, they were! With cameras!

The paps would LOVE a photo of RC's wife writhing on the floor giving birth (Exclusive: First Pics of Baby!)

Cute baby though. I love fat babies.

'If I'd been there that would have been a really serious situation.'

Yeah, you could fight all four of them, Rusty! Rather than, you know, make sure your wife's okay.

Having a baby three weeks early really isn't a big deal, nowadays, though. And much as I bow to RC's medical knowledge, 'panicking...and all that sort of stuff' might not necessarily be the cause.
But Crowe wouldn't be Crowe if he didn't overdramatise.

Usually I take the Paparazzi's side, but with Russel crowe for some reason he gives a good argument about his privacy. He alway say he loves doing screen ACTING. hE'S NOT DOING THIS TO BE FAMOUS, HE DOES IT BECAUSE HE LOVES HIS WORK. With Cameron Diaz, demanding her 20million a movie, I don't think she has the right to complain. And Daniel Spencer does deserve Privacy, She anbd Russel go back before he became very famous, she didn't marry him to further her own career. She's not trying to further her careeer through him. She's a nice girl.

Regardless of fame or fortune, it's totally unacceptable for the Papparazzi to swarm a pregnant woman.

And "Average", a woman won't miscarry from having a picture taken, but she most certainly can miscarry from falling down trying to run away from a swarm of paparazzi.

'With Cameron Diaz, demanding her 20million a movie, I don't think she has the right to complain.'

How much do you think Russell Crowe gets paid per movie?

wow, russell crowe threatening people? big deal, that's practically his normal morning routine at this point - http://hollywoodsnark.com

Holly cow you guys are ALL cruel as hell! I mean DAMN!!! Its like this, Shes a beautiful wonderful young lady! All you have to do is roll her over and aim for the wet spot. HOPE you get it right the first time. I mean DAMN can you imagine asking her if it was as good for her as you and she replies you were in a fold! OUCH!!!!
