Eating Crowe
Posted by pete at June 9, 2005 11:00 AMHaving thrown no small number of objects out of rage myself, I know all too well the remorse a certain antipodean actor is feeling right about now:
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.
Well, no shit, Russell. If merely seeing a spider at an inopportune time in one's life is enough to traumatize some people, I imagine getting a phone getting hurled at you might make you a little squirrelly around the devices.
CNN, in between banner headlines updating us on the search status for the pretty white girl, added:
Crowe, who plays a boxer in his new movie "Cinderella Man," was arrested on charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Monday's incident, in which police say he hurled a telephone at the concierge of the Mercer Street Hotel in Manhattan.
The actor was taken away in handcuffs and later released on his own recognizance. If convicted of assault, he could face up to seven years in prison.
Seven years is a little severe. Besides, I've come up with a solution that will satisfy all concerned parties as well as the governments of both of our great nations:

re: "search status for the pretty white girl"
I had a friend who landed on the sidewalk outside of his hotel in Costa Rica a couple years ago, and the police investigation got three conflicting reports from his roommate, hotel security, and other witnesses. Certainly as much gory intrigue as required by vulture-like media, and yet not even mentioned in the local press. Was it because his last name was Valdez?
Was it because his last name was Valdez?
I think the "his" might have had more to do with it.
when you saw it, how did he look? the levity of it went unannounced. predators have no remorse. why didn't you fess up to that. that is the most important part. the tone should be more serious. tell me waht you think.
