Russell Crowe doesn't like to be upstaged

HOLLYWOOD bruiser RUSSELL CROWE doesn't take kindly to being upstaged - especially by fluffy pop stars like the SUGABABES. The Gladiator star's notorious temper was tested when he and his new band An Ordinary Fear Of God were performing at a hotel near his gaff in Australia. The venue's poor sound-proofing meant that the cheesy disco pumping out the Sugas' No1 hit Push The Button in the next room was drowning out his warbling. An agitated Crowe moaned: "My story-telling is being compromised by sh*tful music." Then he demanded all the guests at the gig complain to management after his set. But his blood really boiled when clubbers spotted the actor through a glass wall and started taking photos. An onlooker said: "Russell really had the hump, big-style. He got the audience to stand and stick their fingers up and abuse the people on the other side of the glass. "He started the show in a great mood but it went downhill pretty quickly. "Many of his songs are emotional - one is about a family member's suicide - so to have the Sugababes spoiling the mood really tested his patience."

This guy is so laughable. He really believes he's all that. I can't believe people actually pay money to see his movies and/or hear his music. And why would anyone want a pic? He's UGLY! It amazes me how someone with not even an ounce of personality made it as far as he did in Hollywood. It's not like his talent carried him this far.

Not a fan of Russ. I think he needs a muzzle.

I'd rather listen to Push the Button rather than his depressive drivel!

I've never heard any of his music but I know I'm guessing I'd prefer Sugar babes, I do quite like their music (although that song has begun to grate on me lately!) Atleast they are not moaning old fogies anyway!

No one would listen to one word of his rubbish if he wasnt a hollywood actor. He is just being self indulgent with his music and bands cos he has the cash to do it. Not neccessarily the talent or personality to be a respected performer.
