Russell Crowe breaks smoking laws

crowe-violates-smoking.jpgRussell Crowe smoked cigarettes and drank a bottle of port during a New Zealand performance of his band “The Ordinary Fear of God” over the weekend, violating the country’s smoke-free laws covering concert venues. If found guilty the venue could be fined up to $2,465.

I was hoping the story would end with Russell Crowe beating a man to death with a phone after being told he wasn’t allowed to smoke, but life is never as exciting as you wish it was. Although a venue might get fined, so that’s pretty intense stuff, right?

    As a New Zealander who lives in Australia (like Russell), I would like to apologise on behalf of all Kiwis and Aussies for the pain and anguish that any story relating to Russell Crowe may have caused.

    We understand your unhappiness, and would like to reassure you that we don’t like him either. Unfortunately, he apparently acted in some movies and got some money, and now we can’t shut him up.

    I’m an Aussie and believe me, we are certainly passing this buck to New Zealand, the birthplace of the Crowe.

    I’d hit it. I mean, really hit it. That face. With a phone. Used to love him, but now I have to kill him.

  6. #11 you are correct, it was “30 Odd Foot of Grunt” and I saw the band in Austin in ’04…they sucked or should I say stunk like 300 feet of grunt…he should stick to acting, at least he can still sucker some people into paying for that…

    I saw his new band perform on Conan O’Brien and they sucked shit. I agree, choose one career and stick with it. I do admit, I enjoy reading stories about celebrities losing their tempers. Russel Crowe is comic relief. As for the poster who adores George Bush, WTF? If he didn’t have a teleprompter to guide him through his speeches, he would sound like Elmer Fudd. David Letterman always shows a clip of “Dubya” making an ass of himself. I guess some chicks dig powerful pricks.
