Russell Crowe Has A Baby Boy To Raise & Train To Fight

When Russell Crowe had a wife and one child he couldn’t phone, he threw stuff around. But now it’s been announced that Crowe has got another boy on the way, imagine what batshit tantrums he’ll have now.

We’re torn, to be honest. Part of us is pleased that Russell Crowe will have another human being to spread his paternal love and natural protective warmth to. But there’s also the part of us that is frankly terrified that there’ll soon be another little Russell Crowe rampaging around the world beating people up.

It’s rare for Russell Crowe (DVDs) to go on TV with some happy news.
Usually he’s spouting poetry so useless that editors cut it out of the
final broadcast, or he’s apologising profusely for throwing stuff at
people’s heads. But it was a different story on Friday, as Russell was
a guest on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. It was already semi-known that
Russell’s wife Danielle Spencer was again (they already have
one son, Charlie), but Crowe decided to confirm it, and tell the world
the gender of the baby:

"Just for you, Charlie is going to have a brother… He knows where the baby is in Mommy’s tummy and knows that he was a
baby once and there’s another baby coming along. And we
said, ‘Bubba, what do you want to call your brother?’ and his first
option was Pumpkinhead. But then the next day, he revised it and he
changed it to Stinky."

Good
to see that the old Crowe charm gene has passed down the line, isn’t it? But,
despite all the looming signs of Russell Crowe settling down and
finding his soft side for the new baby, he hasn’t been accepted by
everyone. Sesame Street, for one.

The executive producer of Sesame Street, Carol-Lynne Parente, has
rejected the notion that Russell Crowe should ever go on her show to
lark about with Elmo:

"He may not be the best role-model for kids.
Although I’m sure our writers could come up with a nice piece about
dealing with emotions - healthy ways to deal with emotions."

But
despite what Parente says, we’d love to see Russell Crowe on Sesame
Street. That Big Bird has been crying out to have a telephone chucked
at his face lately.
