March 8th, 2007 Russell Crowe and his Bra Boys

Big name Aussie hunks — Hollywood actor Russell Crowe, swimming world champion Ian Thorpe and Oprah’s favorite gardener Jamie Durie — flock to the premiere of Bra Boys at the State Theatre on Wednesday night in Sydney, Australia.

Bra Boys is a documentary narrated by Russell and tells the story of a gang centered on the Sydney suburb of Maroubra.

Says Russell of the autobiographical flick, “What I tried to do was instill the confidence to stick with their original intention, which was to make a documentary-length feature about their lives and who they are.”

There was a Bra Boys brawl as the post-premiere party and amazingly enough, Russell Crowe was not involved.

Also pictured: Surfer and Maroubra Bra Boys Koby Abberton and Sunny Abberton. Noticeably missing was brother Jai Abberton.

Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe appeared on camera together for the very first time. The Aussie pair interview each other at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Here’s a mini-transcript of their conversation together:

Russell: So, how’s Keith doing at the moment?
Nicole: Keith’s doing very well. Yeah. We’ve, I mean we’ve been through a lot. … We’ve dug really deep. Three months into our marriage we had to dig really deep. And that’s what we’re doing. And we’re in the process of doing it.
Russell: It’s very courageous of him to just pack up his toothbrush and go to rehab. He must have you at the very forefront of everything if he’s thinking to just do that.
Nicole: You’ll make me cry now so stop it!
Russell: No, seriously, I think you need to see it from that perspective.
Nicole: I do.
Russell: ‘Cause he’s a very, you know, he’s a proud man. He’s a very creative soul and for [him] to just go, “Right, I need to do this thing for the rest of my life to progress.” That’s pretty cool.
Nicole: It is.
Russell: Are you going to have a baby?
Nicole: I hope so.
Russell: Are you going to carry a baby?
Nicole: Would you stop it? This is really dangerous territory! Yes, I would hope so. Anything else you want to ask, Russell?
Russell: Well, I just want to see you walking around barefoot and pregnant.
Nicole: I’d like to see that, too.

Nicole won an Oscar in 2003 for The Hours. Russell took home the coveted statue in 2000 for his work in Gladiator.

February 15th, 2007 Russell Crowe Smokes ‘Em

Russell Crowe makes a daily habit of biking through the streets of Woolloomooloo, Australia, with his mates on Thursday morning. The 42-year-old Academy award winning actor stops off for a cell phone chat and a cigarette.

I would have never known these were different pictures than yesterday’s if it were not for the different gloves.

And there is much irony in using biking as a form of exercise and then stopping to break for a ciggy…
