Actor Russell Crowe Arrested in Assault2 hours, 7 minutes ago NEW YORK - Russell Crowe was arrested Monday morning for allegedly throwing a telephone at an employee of the Manhattan hotel where he was staying, police said. Crowe, 41, who plays a boxer in his latest film, "Cinderella Man," threw the phone at the Mercer Hotel employee, striking him in the face, during an argument at around 4:20 a.m., said police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski. The Australian movie star was taken into custody, fingerprinted and charged with second-degree assault, said police Lieutenant Eugene Whyte. Crowe was expected to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court later Monday. An employee who answered the phone at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo said he was unaware of the incident. Crowe won an Oscar for his role in 2000's "Gladiator." "Cinderella Man," Ron Howard's story of Depression-era boxer Jim Braddock, had a lackluster opening this weekend, debuting at No. 4 with an estimated $18.6 million at the box office. Universal had counted on a better debut for the film, which reunites Howard, Crowe and producer Brian Grazer, the team behind the 2001 Academy Awards champion "A Beautiful Mind." |

 Statement from Crowe's publicist:
"Frustrated by a clerk's unwillingness to help him put through a phone call to his family in Australia, Russell Crowe was involved in a minor altercation at the Mercer Hotel earlier this morning. After asking the front desk several times to replace a faulty phone in his room - and getting only attitude from the clerk on duty - Crowe brought the phone down to the front desk in an effort to address the situation in person. Words were exchanged and Crowe wound up throwing the phone against the wall. He regrets that he lost his temper, but at no time did he assault anyone or touch any hotel employee. |

He was arrested because he trying to make a phone call? Why can't they catch CarrotTop?

That would make the Rodney King arrest look like a Swedish massage. I would buy the DVD and watch it nightly. |

Does this guy not own a cell phone? I know the cellular system in this country is a mess compared to most other countries but it's not that hard to buy a quad-band GSM-phone.

Crowe can't drunk dial and he broke the phone. Simple.

Maybe the sheets on his bed weren't stain-mastered enough and he just needed to take it out on someone.

You sir, are a fucker. I really need to write a FAQ for myself so these kinds of posts wouldn't be needed. |

The idea that any post is needed in Useless News is a bit of an oxymoron. Still, that other thread gave me nightmares. 300-count nightmares.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.
-William Gibson
