Russell Crowe Not Banned in America

Russell Crowe appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court and confessed to hurling a telephone at the concierge of the Mercer Hotel when he couldn't get a call out to Australia to talk with his wife. It looks like Crowe is a lucky guy.

The Oscar-winning actor pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of misdemeanour assault in the third degree that will keep him out of jail and allow him to continue making films in America. The original charges, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, could have led to a felony conviction, barring Crowe from working in America. Instead, Judge Kathryn Freed gave the New Zealand-born star a conditional discharge, requiring him only to stay out of trouble with the law for a year.

And then Judge Kathy noted, "that's so hot that you were so angry because you couldn't call your wife." Actually, we just made that part up.
