Russell Crowe Hated By Strippers


Oscar winning actor RUSSELL CROWE has been slammed by strippers as "obnoxious" and "short". The GLADIATOR (2000) star is well known for being surly and rude to his fans, but when he made one of five visits to strip club Scores over Christmas (2001) the Australian hunk failed to impress the girls there.

A fellow strip club attendee says, "The girls are surprised at how short he is, and how obnoxious. " Insider, The (1999) star allegedly spent $5,000 (£3,571) on three strippers, and after pressuring the dancers to remove their g- strings, which is forbidden, he asked them to join him later in his hotel room.

The onlooker adds, "He got turned down big-time. " Scores spokesman Lonnie Hanover simply said, "As far as Scores is concerned, we love his movies. " (JLM/WNWCPS/CPT)
