For the sake of his kids!

Russell Crowe is staying in Australia for the remainder of 2010 to be with his family including wife Danielle Spencer and their two sons, Charlie and Tennyson.

He says:

"I don't want to get on a plane again this year. I want again to take a step back and put a normal rhythm back into the kids' lives. I know what it is that turns me on in my job and I know if… something comes up that I want to do then I'm usually allowed to do it. I do the things that drive me from a pure place."

Well, he can afford it!

You know you’re cool when you collaborate with Brad Pitt on a project and YOU’RE the reason it was a cool movie.

Nick Cave composed the terrific score to Pitt’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Cool.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (his band) made the infinitely listenable album Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! Cooler.

And now, Nick Cave is rewriting the remake of The Crow. Coolest.

Cave, who was recently hired to rewrite director Stephen Norrington’s Crow script, has been approached before to work on large scale screenwriting projects.

A little while back, boring swashbuckling Robin Hood alumni Russell Crowe asked Cave to write a Gladiator sequel. That would have been extraordifantastically cool.

Crack open that laptop and get writing, Mr. Cave. Dazzle us some more with your coolness.

He's such a diva!

Russell Crowe stormed out of a BBC radio interview on Wednesday when the host told him his Robin Hood accent sounded Irish.

"The accent you've given him (Robin Hood). There are hints to me of Irish, but what…. were you thinking in those terms?" questioned host, Mark Lawson.

"You've got dead ears mate, you've seriously dead ears if you think that's an Irish accent… B**locks," replied Crowe.

LOLz.

And even though the host tried to take the line of questioning elsewhere, Russell kept bringing it back to the accent.

"I'm a little dumbfounded you could possibly find any Irish in that character, that's kind of ridiculous anyway but it's your show," Russell continued. "No! I was going for an Italian (accent)… missed it? F**k me!"

Then he proceeded to walk out of the interview, adding, "I don't get the Irish thing by the way. I don't get it at all."

WTF?! Get over yourself, Crowe. You should be more concerned that no one wants to see an old ballz Robin Hood!

Uh-oh! Universal may have made a $225 million boo-boo.

Yesterday, Russell Crowe's newest flick, Robin Hood, hit the Cannes Film Festival. As one of the opening films, the studio was ready to welcome a warm reception from the media and glowing reviews from attendees.

Yeah, not so much, at least not from the press overseas.

While domestically the film will probably do fairly well, across the pond there are those who are majorly pissed. Sources say that members of the French media were simply outraged and almost hostile after seeing how Ridley Scott portrayed their people. Apparently, at best, the French characters could be called "Gallic Keystone Kops."

That's really bad. Only frat boys and homeless people drink Keystone!

Then there was the London press, which not only called the film “horribly long … serious to a fault … a dull movie of the kind that doesn’t pay emotional dividends,” but also took a shot at Russell's acting chops saying, “Playing Robin with all the mumbling machismo he can muster, there are times when watching him is as fun as a visit from the tax inspector."

Ouch! That one's gotta sting!

There is a lot of money riding on this thing, so Universal better hope America steps it up on the flick's opening weekend and that French & English people don't read the papers.

Otherwise someone is in BIG trouble!

Of course he married another lush! Who else would enable his hard pAArtying?!

Russell Crowe celebrated his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by having an all-night, alcohol fueled rager with his wife, Danielle, and recently spoke out about the experience!

He says:

"We made it into a great day. Luckily for me my kids are old enough now so they got to enjoy the experience… So we had a nice day with them. They usually have a luncheon. We said, 'Well, we'd rather have a piss-up (drinking session) at night time than a luncheon during the day.' So the studio organized that. My wife and I - and it's a long time since we've done this - we were still sitting outside with a vodka in hand at seven o'clock in the morning… That's why I married the girl. So it was fun."

How romantic!

Who needs toothpaste in the morning when you can kill all the nasty shiz you put in your mouth the night before with VODKA?!

They're still married, so hey - maybe being blasted all the time is the solution to a happy life with your beloved!

LOLz.

But for the record - your kids are old enough to do WHAT exactly? To us, it doesn't look like much!

Thoughts??

Talk about awkward casting!

While on the promo tour for his new movie, Robin Hood, Russell Crowe wa asked about a rumor that he and Beyonce would be starring in a remake of the Barbara Streisand classic, A Star Is Born.

According to Russell, Beyonce has pulled out of the project, but Russell is still game! He explains:

"I think she's pulled out. But I'm still chatting about it. It's one of those movies that has been made a lot, but I think it's still quite a big focus. You can see that in terms of the popularity of things like American Idol."

Alright, well, if Beyonce is out, who is someone more awkward we can recast her with?

Um, how about Lea Michele? The mundo age difference should make it rather uncomfortable.

Or Mariah Carey? We bet Russell doesn't sweat facing up against Nick Canon.

Nope, we've got it - Lindsay Lohan. Even if she did sober up for the occasion, the two hours of autotune and horrendous acting would be HIGHlarious!

Get on this Hollywood!

If this is the best opener they could get than we're scared as shiz for the rest of the line-up!!

Ridley Scott's SHITEOUS-looking Robin Hood is set to be the first movie screened at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which starts up May 12th!

As everyone probably knows, the movie went through some serious dramz in pre-production, which included massive script re-writes, star Russell Crowe being forced into fat camp, and Sluttyienna Miller being replaced by Cate Blanchett!!

What a mess!! Not even the trailer could make it look watchable!!

Robin Hood opens worldwide May 14th.

What do U think?? Do U want to see Robin Hood?

Check out Russell Crowe as the Prince of Thieves in his Super Bowl spot for Robin Hood.
