Russell Crowe's band is getting as much publicity lately as his love affairs have in the past, but with its great reviews why shouldn't we hear about 30 Odd Foot of Grunts?

Musicians, critics and fans all love to watch the Gladiator shake his hips like Elvis and reports say all you can hear from the primarily fortyish women audience are pleas for Russ to "take off your shirt!!"

Well, he not only keeps them hot, but makes them chuckle too. At his recent concert at the Los Angeles House Of Blues, Russell takes a jab at Hollywood. "There's a Canadian island called Newfoundland, similar to Tasmania in Australia, where people have sex with the relatives. I asked folks down in Texas what the equivalent would be in America." With a grin he reports, "They all said California!"
