Russell Crowe’s glory is just a memory!

Gladiator star Russell Crowe once reigned over Hollywood as its most popular leading man.

But as he stepped out in his hometown of Sydney yesterday, it was astonishingly clear his heartthrob status is now just a distant memory.

The Oscar-winning actor was almost unrecognisable as he took a walk near his seaside home, his scruffy appearance, hefty paunch and ghastly tracksuit a world away from his turn as Maximus Decimus Meridius in the 2000 hit.

His grooming regime and once vigorous exercise programme has clearly taken a slide in recent times, and his regard for fashion has apparently dipped to an all-time low.

But while his transformation may have meant some Hollywood offers have dried up, he still has a string of projects in the pipeline.

This year he stepped into the lead role of State Of Play, based on the BBC mini series by the same name, after Brad Pitt pulled out the film.

He is also rumoured to be attached to a new biopic of late comedy legend Bill Hicks, who fell victim to cancer at the age of 32 after years of battling with drink and drugs.

Hicks shot to fame in the 80s and early 90s for his acerbic wit and is considered a highly influential figure.

Writer Mark Staufer has already written a treatment for a possible film, and is now turning that into a draft script, reports Empire.

David gave Tom diet advice!!

It’s a good thing for TomKat that The Beckham’s made the move across the pond to L.A. last year. Katie Holmes goes to Victoria Beckham for fashion advise, and now Tom Cruise goes to David Beckham for diet and fitness advise.

The Daily Mail reports that 46 year-old Tom was worried about a recent weigtht gain and looking like he had a mdidle-age belly tire. He felt like he was starting to look old when photographed with his young family. Katie is only 29, remember. So Beck’s put him on the treadmill and a low-cal diet and now Tom is ten pounds thinner, but still a crazy Scientologist

“David has been round at Tom’s house a lot. While Katie and Victoria have been swapping fashion tips on the phone, David has been advising Tom on diet. Tom has a private gym at his home and David has been working out with him. He also gave him diet advice. Tom has been sticking to 1,200 calories a day, mostly grilled chicken and fish with lots of vegetables, salads and fruit. David put together a work-out regime that included the treadmill, weight training and fencing lessons together.”

Victoria Beckham sues over diet pill claims !

Victoria Beckham is spitting mad. Stiletto-kicking mad. Or any of the other ways abnormally small people can be mad. Posh is enraged that a magazine would have the audacity to say she’s on diet pills. Clearly she places quite the priority on health, good wholesome eating, and lots of exercise. There is absolutely no way the 83 pound former singer could possibly be on diet pills. Utterly ludicrous.

Victoria Beckham is dragging a British magazine into court for saying she’s on diet pills.

The skinny star is furious because tabloid rag Now said that she had her sister sneak the tablets from the UK to Los Angeles to help her keep her weight down.

According to reports, the mom of three is said to be “horrified”, and even says the false claims are “dangerous” because she is a role model to so many people.

The former Spice Girl’s agent Jo Milloy said today, “The accusation is dangerous, defamatory and blatantly untrue.

“Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story.

“It is now with her lawyers.”
