Russell Crowe arrested at NY hotel

Good job. He's nuts and an embarrassment to Down Under.

"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."

From IMDB:

"New York Police Department (NYPD) officer Michael Wysokowski says, "He was upset because he couldn't get a call out to Australia. He threw a phone at the employee hitting him in the face and causing a minor laceration."

I know they are only doing their jobs, but he is in the wrong so why does his publicist have to lie. He was throwing a paddy and he should get punished.

I hope he gets a good kick in the *** for this. He needs to be taken down a peg or two and put into anger management classes pronto.

How embarrassing must this be for Danielle.

Where did you hear that? Because the director Ron Howard has worked with Russell before on "A beautiful mind" and why should he work with him again if he's such a difficult person?
 
He will be on "Late Show with David Letterman" this evening. He will be on at the same time that Tom Cruise will be on Jay Leno.
 
and here it is



NEW YORK -- A chagrined Russell Crowe apologized Wednesday for throwing a telephone at a hotel concierge this week, saying he reacted poorly to being a lonely family man away from home.

"This is possibly the most shameful situation I've ever gotten myself in in my life, and I've done some pretty dumb things in my life," the Australian actor told David Letterman. "So to actually make a new number one is spectacularly stupid."

Crowe, in New York to promote a new movie, was angered by a malfunctioning phone at the Mercer Hotel at 4 a.m. Monday, so he threw it and struck a concierge in the face.

Along with a few hours in jail on an assault charge, the "Gladiator" star earned himself a new tabloid nickname: "Jerkus Maximus."

Crowe used the "Late Show" platform to apologize to his wife and to Nestor Estrada, the concierge hit under the eye by the flying phone.

"Hopefully at some stage, I'll be able to apologize directly to Nestor but at the moment, he's not answering his phone," Crowe said.

Crowe acknowledged what most tabloid readers already know: that he has a temper problem.

"But at the same time, I also have, in the moment, infinite patience, you know?" he said. "We had nine rooms in that hotel over a period of seven days and everybody was having the same problems."

Crowe is married to actress Danielle Spencer and they have a 17-month-old son. With the time difference with Australia, reporting back home can be rough, he said.

"I'm, you know, trying to fill my basic obligations to my wife who needs to know that I'm at home, I'm in bed, I haven't had too much to drink and, primely important, that I'm alone," he said.

Being a husband and father away from home is "a level of abject loneliness that I'm not used to at all," he said.

But, as his wife said, that's not much of an excuse because millions of dads have to travel, he said.

Letterman couldn't resist one sight gag, getting up from behind his desk before the interview, removing the phone that was there and taking it off stage.
