Go, Russ, Go!
Whenever Russell Crowe does something bad like throw a phone during a tantrum or release an album, I prefer to think of him as a New Zealander with some decent roles in Australian films under his belt. But when he wins an Oscar or wanders around Sydney wearing a tasteful tracksuit combo, I adore him to pieces and feel proud to call him my fellow countryman. And today, folks, Russell Crowe is from the (larger) land Down Under.
Reports AAP:
Russell Crowe has earned a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has revealed its honorees for 2010 and Crowe’s name was on a list of 28 entertainers.
Congratulations, Russell! And he’ll be joined by some fine famous folks.
Other celebrities set to cement a place in Hollywood history in 2010 are director James Cameron, actors John Cusack, Colin Firth, Adam Sandler, Emma Thompson and Mark Wahlberg, and musicians Bryan Adams, The Funk Brothers, Chaka Khan, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, the band ZZ Top and Roy Orbison.
Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, ZZ Top, Chaka Khan, and Emma Thompson – together at last!
PS: Any other old school readers of Popbitch recall the hilarious Russell Crowe story that inspired the title of this post? Heh.

Was this the story that had him screaming “Go, Russ, Go!” as he was approaching *ahem* climax?
*shudder*
Strangely, I appear to have combined this tidbit of stomach-turning gossip with that sordid info which surfaced about Rex Hunt and his extramarital affair. And thus remembered it as “go, Rex, go!”
Eh, how’s that mental image treating you?
Heard the “Go Russ Go” story circa 1996ish whilst working at a local ‘media organisation’ representing him before he really was that famous (i.e Romper Stomper days) and it sounded like it had basis given the sources. Then another member of my family, in an associated industry heard it a few years later as well.
In 2001 I was working in the UK when The Sun or Mirror ran it as a blind item that they’d been tipped off that during a promo visit a temperamental Antipodean actor was “his own cheerleader in the bedroom”. I personally suspect this rumour has merit.
