Dah-rah-ma-rama!

One of the NY papers is reporting that Russell Crowe took his losing battle against the bulge out on his would-be Robin Hood co-star, Sluttyiena Miller, by having her fired from the Maid Marian role in his new Hood flick!

As we previously mentioned, Tubby Crowe was reportedly ordered by the movie's head honcho to lose his belly by the movie's March production start.

A producer quipped, "We can't have Robin Hood looking more like Friar Tuck."

Ha!!!

Anyway, insiders say the Australian actor's weight isn't exactly melting off, so he called for Slut Slut's head because she would've made him look that much older and blubbery-er on screen.

The buzz going around Hollywoodland is that the producers are now "looking for an older, plumper actress to play the role so [Crowe] doesn't look like a paunchy grandpa. Someone in her late 30s or early 40s."

Where are they going to find one of those? "Plump" 30-40 year old, 'name' actresses in Hollywood are a size 4!!

And that's not all!!

Tubby is supposedly trying to get director Ridley Scott fired from the film!!

Soooo effed up!

Ridley only cast Russell in the Gladiator role that won the fat one an Oscar.

Crowe sure is living up to Josh Brolin's asshole characterization!!

A snitch said, "All of this was done behind Ridley's back. He has no idea."

A studio rep has apparently confirmed that Slutty was fired, but went on to say, "Nottingham is moving ahead with Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott."

Looks like the Nottingham cast and crew is headed for one hell of a bumpy ride!

Good luck, y'all!!

No one wants to see fat rolls in tights on the big screen!

The UK's Daily Mail reports that thesp Russell Crowe has been told by acclaimed director Ridley Scott to slim down for his role as the sheriff of Nottingham in the forthcoming Robin Hood film.

Scott will be the guy at the helm of the Robin Hood movie.

The British director is credited for making tubster Crowe a star by casting him in Gladiator, a role that won him the Best Actor Oscar.

An insider revealed, "Ridley is one of the only directors on earth who could ask Russell to slim down. He's hoping by the time March comes around that Russell will have shed some pounds."

Who doesn't want the return of Gladiator Russell?!

Sluttyienna Miller is probably relieved to hear this news.

As we've mentioned previously, SlutSlut will play the role of Maid Marian in the film.

If she's on board we're sure there's going to be lots of steamy, sexy scenes.

Bet she wasn't looking forward to getting mashed by the hefty Russell!

Wow, Russell Crowe has really let himself go!

The once leading man was spotted this weekend spending some quality time with his sons in a Beverly Hills park.

But daddy seems to be preggers himself!

Plus the long hair, the scruffy beard.

Is he going to say he's doing this for a role????

Icky icky poo!

What do U think of Russell's look?

Arriba! Arriba!

For the second week in a row, Beverly Hills Chihuahua was the #1 movie at the U.S. box office.

Disney's cute doggies brought in another $17.5 million. Its 10-day total is at $52 million!

Hot dog!

During these crappy times, guess there's nothing like an adorable Disney movie to make you feel warm and fuzzy for a few hours.

Newcomer thriller flick Quarantine nabbed the #2 spot with $14.2 million in ticket sales.

And, to round out the top three, Leo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe's CIA drama Body of Lies debuted to a less than impressive $13.1 million.

Why didn't these big boys draw in bigger crowds?

Well, a suit said, "Body of Lies may have dealt with too sober a topic after all the disastrous financial news."

Is that a good enough answer?

P.S. We saw Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist on Saturday and LOVED it.

It's the Say Anything for a new generation!

We heart Michael Cera!

Gimmicks are necessary sometimes!

Aussie thesp Russell Crowe is set to play the role of Robin Hood AND the evil Sheriff of Nottingham in another film adaption of the famous Robin Hood tale.

Trying hard much?

And, in the 'demure' Maid Marian role will be Sluttyienna Miller.

Demure indeed!

What are the desperado producers going to come up with next for some attention?

We expect lots of gratuitous sexy scenes if Slutty's on board!

Joan Rivers stunned TV audiences in Britain on Tuesday when she appeared on U.K. chat show Loose Women, think The View across the pond.

Well, the plastic surgery-loving comedienne dropped a few curse words when talking about Russell Crowe and everyone got their panties in a bunch.

Joan warned the show, "get ready to bleep," but the show is broadcast live.

The co-hosts immediately apologized for Rivers' little outburst and during the commercial break she was asked to leave the set and not invited to come back for her final segment.

A spokesperson for the show says, "Guests are always briefed that it is a live daytime show and are reminded not to swear or use inappropriate language. An editorial decision was taken that Joan Rivers should not appear in the final part of the programme. We would like to apologise to Loose Women viewers for the inappropriate language used on today's show."

Rivers, for her part, finds it all quite funny.

"I said: 'I apologise.' Everyone apologised. It was hilariously funny," she says.

Joan adds that this was the first time she had been removed from a TV show in 40 years and she was "thrilled".
