Russell Crowe's New Leading Lady Not Quite a BBW

Emily Farris — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:01:00 GMT

Last month, Sienna Miller left the cast of the Ridley Scott directed Robin Hood remake amid rumors that her co-star Russell Crowe needed an older, larger actress to make him not look so, um, bad. Apparently Miller was just too young and thin. So what old bag did they find to replace her?

Only one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, Cate Blanchett.

Russell Crowe Seeks BBW for Love, Role Play

Emily Farris — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 17:29:00 GMT

Russell Crowe is allegedly looking for an older, larger actress to play his female counterpart in the upcoming Nottingham after he threw a fit and had his leading lady fired because she was too thin and beautiful.

Crowe was worried that Sienna Miller would make him look bad in the film's love scenes. He put on weight for his role in Body of Evidence and has since had a hard time taking it off. According to Page Six, producers are now "looking for an older, plumper actress to play the role so [Crowe] doesn't look like a paunchy grandpa. Someone in her late 30s or early 40s."

The Post also speculated that Crowe is trying to get director Ridley Scott fired. No word yet as to who will replace Miller.

Top 10 Things Younger Than John McCain

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 14 May 2008 20:17:00 GMT

A reader sent us this delightfully ageist, partisan hatchet job on the candidate attempting to become the oldest President ever (no, not Hillary Clinton, c. 2013), Senator John McCain.

John McCain is older than the word "old." When John McCain was a child, his granpappy was referred to as "ye olde man." Note the difference in spelling. John McCain is older than nylons, which means he is older than boners. Do we sound too much like "The Late Show With David Letterman?" We apologize-- although you should still check out our hilarious little list, stolen straight from the website "Things Younger Than John McCain."

10. Velcro

9. Plutonium

8. Both of Barack Obama's biological parents

7. Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney, for God's sake. Support somebody else!

6. Cheerios. Cheerios... Jesus Almighty, we thought the caveman had been the one to figure out what to do with little oats.

5. Scientology. Take that, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and that embarrassing woman from "Cheers"-- Scientology is a figment of our cultural imagination and not to be taken any more seriously than, uh, Christianity, for example.

4. Spam. Not only the internet annoyance... the food made famous by Monty Python!

3. The Golden Gate Bridge

2. Alaska

1. The Chocolate Chip Cookie

Runners up: AARP, Mount Rushmore, McDonald's, nylon, and FM radio, as well as many other shockers at "Things Younger Than McCain."

Sloppy Seconds: Amy Winehouse is Full of Life, While Kirstie Alley is Full of Carbs, And Men With Big Penises are Full of Themselves

Emily Farris — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:22:00 GMT

A back-up singer says Amy Winehouse is full of life and energy. She's full of something, that's for sure.

Kirstie Alley will continue to help fat women around the world, with or without Jenny Craig.

Is a man's self-worth dependent on his penis size? Yeah... probably.
