Crowe Blames Newspaper For 'Ruining' Christmas

Australian actor RUSSELL CROWE has slammed a newspaper for "ruining his Christmas" after it published a false story claiming he had bought his wife DANIELLE SPENCER a $3.6 million (GBP2 million) yacht.

Crowe was left so incensed by the report, which appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, he expressed his outrage in a pre-Christmas posting on his official website.

He wrote, "I do not own a boat, haven't bought a boat... I have no idea what/who the source may be.

"I'd like to thank the staff of the Sydney Morning Herald for ruining my family's Christmas by taking our boat away from us and also for the dozens of pointless conversations I will now have with (fellow) boat owners and neighbours over the holiday period."

	Shame on you - as a website manager for two unofficial fan sites, I have strict rules for how information taken from other websites is used. Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Slow news day????

	I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you would use this quote of Russell's from Murph's Place. It was meant completely in jest and you have turned it into something completely different. Not to mention the completely illegal act of stealing written information from her site that she and Russell expect to be posted no where but there. (And this is WHY!) You yourselves have all this copyright text and crap on your own site yet you don't adhere to that policy on other websites? How horribly distasteful and low. I certainly hope you plan to apologize and print a retraction. Your website already has a very low reputation online, this episode is not helping any.
