A few shots of Russell Crowe in full costume filmingNoahin New York just came out and what is this? I was imagining Noah to be skinnier and more scraggly. He looks like he just came from the Thunderdome. In this version, Noah must be kicking ass and taking names.

Actor Russell Crowe has reportedly separated from wife of nine years Danielle Spencer amidst rumors that her “close friendship” with her Dancing With The Stars partner Damian Whitewood was a little more than just friendly. The Daily Mail says:
Danielle allegedly turned to Damia for companionship while Crowe spent most of his time in England filming Les Miserables.
And during her time on the series, they went to several concerts together.
Spencer was [also] spotted enjoying a night out with Whitewood [several months ago].
Russell Crowe is Russell Crowe, and that’s all well and good, but the fact still remains that Captain Come Dancing looks like this, and Russell Crowe looks like Santa Claus’s stoner brother. It was just a matter of time before she stepped out on him.

Oooh, this is a decent scandal that is not wholly unexpected. I mean, I was kind of shocked when I read this headline, and yet it made some kind of sense to me. Russell Crowe and his wife of nine years, Danielle Spencer, have separated. They have two sons together, Charles and Tennyson. Right now, the explanation given for the split is his schedule ? he?s been working a lot lately, and he has even more films to come. But is it ever that simple? Put another way: do you buy that Russell Crowe ? with his sometimes sordid romantic history ? would split up with his wife because he was working too much?
Gladiator actor Russell Crowe and his wife of nine years, Danielle Spencer, have separated, according to a report in Sydney today. The 48-year-old Oscar-winning actor and his 43-year-old singer wife have gone their separate ways, with Crowe turning his undivided attention to his acting career after the split, said the report.
The couple, who have two children ? Charles and Tennyson, aged eight and six ? have parted on friendly terms, the children remaining with Miss Spencer while her now-estranged husband continues filming the biblical epic Noah in the US.
The report has come as a shock to showbusiness circles in Australia because the couple were regarded as a having a strong marriage despite the demands of their careers, with New Zealand-born Crowe in constant demand for film roles while his wife, whose mother is English, has managed caring for the children as well as singing and appearing on Australian TV.
They were married in a chapel on Crowe?s farm in the hamlet of Nana Glen, in northern New South Wales, in 2003, following which they lived in a penthouse on the shores of Sydney harbour before moving into a 6 million mansion in the posh harbourside suburb of Rose Bay.
The Sydney Morning Herald, which broke the news of the split today, said Miss Spencer was the quiet, unassuming woman who tamed the Gladiator with her calm and steady nature. She once said of her husband?s fame and fortune that ?all that stuff has nothing to do with me as a person.?
Despite the general belief that they were a strongly-bonded couple, some critics were surprised to note that Miss Spencer had been photographed on a night out with Damian Whitewood, her dance partner in a tv show, Dancing With the Stars, a few months ago. Crowe made a big point of dismissing rumours about their relationship later when he gave his wife a lingering kiss in front of the cameras at Sydney airport.
But the demands of his acting career have kept him away from Miss Spencer for much of this year. He has also missed most of the games of the Sydney rugby league club in which he has a financial interest and has left his wife to care for their children. He has six films coming out in the next 12 months ? Man with the Iron Fist, Les Miserables, Broken City, Superman, Noah and the Winter?s Tale.
The couple met 22 years ago on the set of the movie The Crossing, but before developing his relationship with Miss Spencer he had a much publicised romance with Meg Ryan. He said of Miss Spencer after their marriage that the thought of marrying her had crossed his mind the first time he had met her. Miss Spencer was careful with her words when her husband was involved in a phone-throwing incident in a New York hotel seven years ago after he was unable to get through to her.
?I?m not condoning his behaviour,? she said. ?I don?t want to make excuses for him because I?m certainly not. But I do understand when you?re apart that the loneliness kicks in.?

If you go to that Daily Mail link, you can see the photos of Danielle with that dude Damian Whitewood ? it does look like there could be something shady going on. Would Rusty?s wife cheat on him? Hm. Would he cheat on her? Hm. I really don?t know ? my feeling right now is that there?s more to this than just a scheduling issue. But here?s an interesting question: what does a single-and-ready-to-mingle Russell Crowe look like these days? Who would Russell make a play for at this point? He likes blondes, if that makes a difference. Who is available and blonde these days?

Do you know how hot I used to be for Russell Crowe? This was back before Gladiator even came out. I was hot for Russell when I saw LA Confidential. BUD WHITE!!! God, I love that movie. And Big Russ was super-hot in it, in a man?s man kind of way, but he was also vulnerable and interesting, like a young Marlon Brando. Then of course came Gladiator, and every lady in the world wanted to ride his jock. And then he gained some weight and barely worked, and when he did work, his girth (and not the good girth) was always a topic of conversation.
Well, Russell has lost the weight – these are new photos of Not-So-Big Russ at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards on Friday, in LA. I haven?t seen new photos of Crowe in months and months, it feels like. He looks? good? But maybe not? I don?t know, I can?t decide. I had gotten so used to seeing the bigger Russell, to the point where I kind of liked the extra meat on him. Plus, I think his skin looks weird, like he overdid the foundation. Basically, I?m glad that he?s trying out a maybe healthier lifestyle/diet, but he also looks a bit sickly to me now.
So, here are the questions: would you still hit it? Would you have ever hit it? Would you be more likely to hit it now, or back when he was in the midst of a love affair with ice cream?
Oh, and in case you miss seeing a random, beefy, hairy Australian, I threw in a photo of Joel Edgerton at the same event. He?s been hit with Russell Crowe Syndrome – hard. I hope it?s for a role?

Russell talks about Twitter at 3:20 in
Russell Crowe was on The Today Show this morning promoting his new thriller The Next Three Days, with Elizabeth Banks. This is actually the first I’ve heard of this film, by director Paul Haggis, and it looks pretty good, although familiar. Spoilers follow that are also in the trailer. They weren’t entirely clear on The Today Show what the film is about, but I looked up the trailer afterwards and Crowe’s wife, played by Banks, gets arrested for a murder she claims she didn’t commit. He then tries to break her out of jail several years later when she becomes suicidal. It has Liam Neeson in it too!
Crowe was good natured and humorous with Matt Lauer, particularly when Lauer said he was surprised that Crowe has been spending so much time on Twitter. I didn’t know that Crowe tweeted either, and like Matt I didn’t think he was the type. Big Russ explained that he’s been a stay-at-home dad while his wife tours with her band and that he’s had some time to kill without the longer stretches that would allow him to be creative. He then added a few obligatory sentences about how it’s cutting edge technology that allows him to talk directly to fans. You know he’s just bored. Russell also said he’d quit coffee and cigarettes - at the same time - and admitted that it took him a couple of months to feel normal again and be able to concentrate.
Russell Crowe, tweeter? That was one question Matt Lauer had during Monday’s interview with the actor on TODAY.
“I?m in this place at the moment where I?m basically being Dad,” said the man behind @RussellCrowe. “I?m at home, my wife?s doing gigs and stuff with her band, she?s promoting a record (’Calling all Magicians’). I take the boys to school in the morning, I pick them up in the afternoon, and then there?s the bedtime, and stories … I find there?s not a long length of time to get involved with anything creative,” Crowe said.
A recent tweet revealed that Crowe had given up two habits: “Blue Sky in NYC today. Haven’t slept a wink. It’ll make the interviews interesting, no cigs, no coffee and no sleep. Good luck Journalists,” it read. Lauer joked, “Do you realize there was a time when someone like me wouldn?t sit across from you while you?re giving up cigarettes and coffee at the same time?”
“I got cranky for some time,” Crowe conceded.
[From MSNBC]
Russell explained that he had the impetus to quit smoking when he “got caught smoking a cigarette by my eldest boy, Charlie [6]”
This guy is a hell of an actor and I like that he has a few pounds on him lately. Sure you can see a paunch when he’s sitting down, but he’s still sexy as hell - he’s Russell Crowe! I’ll take a guy with some weight on him over a skinny smoker any day. You guys can have Colin Farrell! (Kaiser!) After I saw him chain smoking on the In Bruges DVD extras I was pretty much over him.
Here’s the trailer for The Next Three Days, which has a lot of spoilers as mentioned above:

These are new photos of Russell Crowe at a big announcement in Sydney, Australia on Tuesday. The announcement? He?s just been named the narrator of the remake of Ben-Hur. I know, I know, but wait: it?s not some God-awful Hollywood remake where they cast Orly Bloom?s Dirtlip in the Charleton Heston part. No, it?s going to be a ?live theater performance? in Australia, and Russell is going to take part in the live theater event - as the narrator. So, basically, he gets to sit around and eat doughnuts while he watches Orly Bloom act as Judah Ben-Hur live on stage. (Note: I have no idea who is actually going to play Judah Ben-Hur.)
So, is it just me, or does Russell look? a bit chubby? Not fat, mind you, I?m not saying he looks horrible or anything, I?m just pointing out that he looks very puffy in these photos. Russell seemed to give a bunch of interviews yesterday (probably answering questions at this photo call), and he ended up talking about how he just quit smoking. Yep? that?s probably why he?s gained some weight. Good for him for quitting!
Russell Crowe used to smoke so much his six-year-old son called cigarette smoke ?daddy smell?.
The 46-year-old actor has two sons with his wife Danielle Spencer, Charlie, six, and three-year-old Tennyson. Russell has been a heavy smoker since he was 10 years old, but quit earlier this year.
He has now been smoke-free for almost two months, and is still marvelling at the way it has transformed his life. He says his young sons were so used to his habit, they thought cigarette smoke was his natural scent, and would often smell it in the street and assume he was nearby and hiding from them.
?Charlie called it Daddy smell. With Dani ,they’d walk past smokers on the street he’d say, ?Mum, Dads here somewhere (sic),?? Russell wrote on his Twitter page.
Russell found quitting smoking much more difficult than he had anticipated. He posted messages on the social networking site daily for the first week, complaining of ?wild dreams?, excess sweating and a hacking cough.
[From Music Rooms]
Yeah, I?m still thinking that he?s gained weight because he quit. His puffiness is probably from drinking too. Yesterday, Starpulse called him out for being ?too tubby? and they claimed that there are a flurry of rumors that Russell had to be digitally ?slimmed down? in Robin Hood. However, his rep claims those reports are ?not true.? Meanwhile, as I look at these photos, I?m reminded of how I gave up my Russell crush for my Gerard Butler crush. They could play brothers, they look so much alike, in my opinion. Dirty moobtastic bastards.
By the way, I just wanted to throw this photo in here, since we?re talking about men gaining weight - Nick Nolte has certainly put on some pounds, hasn?t he? The difference with Nick is that the extra weight looks really good on him, he doesn?t look so gaunt and strung out. He was photographed on the NYC set of Arthur (the one with Russell Brand). It?s good to seem him working again too!

Despite the rampant rumors of his death, actor Russell Crowe is still alive and kicking according to his rep.
Earlier today, New York City radio station Z100 falsely reported that the ?Gladiator? stud had kicked the bucket.
But the 46-year-old actor?s rep has come out to declare that the reports are ?not true.?
Rather, Crowe is doing well and looking forward to his new film ?The Next Three Days? set to release on November 19th.

Here are some new photos of Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett at the photo call for Robin Hood. Robin Hood is the opening film at the Cannes Film Festival, and it?s also going to be Cate?s big ?comeback? after more than a year spent doing theatre stuff in Australia and Washington. I?ve missed Cate, haven?t you? Especially on the red carpet. We needed her to be our great fashion icon. Cate was prepared too - delivering a great fashion moment in a very interesting, beautiful pale Pink suit. Russell looks like he would rather be in a bar, or that he?s just come out of a bar.
Anyway, Russell and Robin Hood director Ridley Scott sat down for an interview with The Daily Telegraph. Russell is still trying to convince us that he?s not a hyper-aggressive toolbox, like he did in his GQ UK interview. The full Telegraph piece is here, and here are some of the highlights:
Russell on the character of Robin Hood: ?We never assume that he is a charitable person, he?s not. He?s totally about looking after himself but he develops into this other thing, mainly driven by the desire, I suppose, to be loved by Marion.?
Russell on working with Ridley Scott: ?I love working with him. On a film set with Ridley Scott I trust in the fact the infrastructure is there, I trust in the fact that even though he?s making an expensive movie it will not cost one dollar more than it needs to because he has a very responsible attitude to where the money?s being spent. He knows how many severed heads he?s got in the effects department; he knows what he can use and how quickly he has to move, and I really respect that.?
Russell on his image as an aggressive bully and a ?difficult? actor: ?When you read it in black and white it sounds like I was being ridiculously aggressive, but one of the main misunderstandings is that I?ve been sold as an angry person and that?s just not true. I like to put a lot of effort into what I do and that comes with a certain amount of energy, especially when you?re weary and it requires you to dig deep inside yourself? I certainly have a temper that can flare up, but having a temper is a completely different thing from being an angry person.?
[From The Telegraph]
Do I buy that Russell is just a misunderstood guy who has maligned in the press? Not really. I do think he?s such a talented actor, and I also think he?s probably a total douche unless he considers you a friend.
By the way, the tales of Robin Hood?s disastrous film production have already come out, but here?s another piece of ?what were they thinking?? info. While everyone knows that it was a very expensive film to make, and that it went over budget, new information indicates that it ended up going about $80 million over-budget. Originally, it was thought that it cost $155 million to make, but the actual budget is rumored to be $237 million. And that?s before the promotional and marketing costs! Good Lord. They really need this movie to be a hit.

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett were spotted at the 2010 Cannes International Film Festival today (May 12).
Joined by producer Brian Grazer, the ?Gladiator? stud and the ?Curious Case of Benjamin Button? babe showed up for a photo call for ?Robin Hood.?
Of the movie, Russell told press, "This is the sort of film that you hope for and then you wait for because you get to step into a completely different world. You actually get to time travel.?
"I've been on a beach and done a cavalry charge with 130 horses into 500 men. I've been there. That's not my imagination. That's real. I'm at full tilt with that horse, stretched out over his neck. If I make a mistake, it's gonna be carnage."
