Don't bug Russell Crowe!
Poor Russell Crowe got himself arrested in New York after a faulty telephone so infuriated him that he pulled it out of the wall, took it down to the front desk and remonstrated with a hotel clerk whose "attitude" induced Russell to throw the phone against the wall. Somehow the clerk ended up having to have stitches inserted in a facial wound.
Now Russell faces a possible eight years in jail on charges of second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon - the telephone. If that's the way Russell reacts to bugs, we suggest that if ever he is introduced to a computer, they should clear the building.

"Now Russell faces a possible eight years in jail on charges of second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon - the telephone"....
sounds to me like Russell will get what he deserves!
....and more importantly, if found guilty, he becomes a convicted felon, who due to US immigration law, will no longer be allowed into the USA. Bit hard to make films at Universal if you are not allowed into the country!........karma!

I saw poor 'Rusty' interviewed by Letterman, who didn't look as if he was in sympathy overdrive for our beleaguered son (oops he belongs to N.Z not us now!).
I was embarassed by Crowe's crowing or cowling over his difficulties with distance from his family and his anger management issues...perhaps he needs to seek advice from his fellow superstars...Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.
Mind you, I walked out of that movie it made me so damned angry ;-)
