Sometimes pictures do actually tell the whole story, but since some of you are stuck in offices behind firewalls which don’t allow for pictures, let me describe the action for you so you don’t have to wait until you get home or find a more lenient employer.
In our first picture we see a portly Russell Crowe with a full grey beard attempt to tell a Wimbledon guard that he shouldn’t be sitting with people who make less than him, and instead should be in the section reserved for people befitting his status.
The second picture shows Russell being lectured by the guard who is also in the Royal Navy about how to behave while at the match and to sit down like every other person in the stadium.
The third picture shows Russell turning back to the guard and throwing out the “don’t you know who I am? I will get you fired line.” He does it with his hands in his pockets and has been completely frustrated while what looks like Joshua Jackson looks on amused.
Finally in our last picture we see a disgusted Russell Crowe sitting amongst Woody Allen who looks about a thousand years old and also Ralph Lauren who looks quite good.

HOT-tempered Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott are said to be squabbling like a couple of gladiators on the British set of their latest collaboration, Universal’s big-budget Robin Hood flick.
“The producers had to fly to London because Russell and Ridley won’t talk to each other,” an insider told Page Six. “Every time they stop filming, it costs the production millions of dollars.”
It would be the latest glitch for the $175 million movie, which was originally titled “Nottingham” but is now just “Untitled Robin Hood Project.”
Last December, we revealed how Crowe no longer wanted to work with Scott, whom he blamed for their disastrous fourth collaboration, “Body of Lies.” Then, in January, we reported how the Oscar-winning hothead ordered producers to get a new director and demanded script rewrites that devoted more of the plot to him.
The delays caused Sienna Miller to drop out, and Crowe had to go on a crash diet to drop 35 pounds because, as one producer noted, “We can’t have Robin Hood looking more like Friar Tuck.”
Crowe’s publicist, Alan Nierob, denied that there’s any friction between star and director, insisting, “It’s a good scene down there. Everything is on schedule.”
Universal chairman Marc Shmuger told us: “Ridley and Russell asked us to visit . . . to see more than an hour of footage they’ve already shot, which was nothing short of spectacular . . . We couldn’t be more excited by what we saw. Russell and Ridley are working on their fifth film together and have one of the strongest and most collaborative working relationships. When it’s news that a studio chairman and a film’s producer [Brian Grazer] visit a production, it must be a very slow gossip day.”
Crowe recently told Live News the title of the picture, which co-stars fellow Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, may be changed to “Robin Hood” in order to market it more easily next May.

“Russell has grown attached to the hair, but he’s excited to help,” a source tells Star.
Crowe is so serious about donating his hair that he is trying not take any roles where he will have dye his hair. Crowe has almost reached the necessary 10″, wonder who is going to be the barber that dares to cut off his ponytail?

Ridley Scott told Russell Crowe that he was too fat for a role in “Body of Lies.” Ridley ordered Russell to drop 30 pounds in order to play the role of a CIA boss.
Ridley said, “I’ve shot with Russell for the past five weeks. That’s why he’s so sturdy-looking at the moment. He’s losing weight. He was 30 pounds overweight to do the part.”
First Ryan Gosling was too chunky for a movie and now Russell? Finally Hollywood is telling the dudes they need to lose a few instead of picking on the women all the time.
I went to see “The Devil Knows You’re Dead” this past weekend with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and although I love him I don’t want to see all his kibbles n’ bits! Kibbles ‘n bits with extra gravy! He has a sex scene with that hot bitch Marisa Tomei and his gut is like laying on her ass while he’s hitting it from behind. I go to the movies to escape reality!
While we’re talking about weight-loss, has anyone tried that diet shit Alli ? I want to try it, so I can be bikini ab-ready for Christmas ( don’t ask). I want to try it, but if it makes your kidneys fall out, count me out! Wait, how much do kidneys weigh?
