Going Ape

  After hitting a bellhop with a telephone and exchanging scathing remarks with just about everyone in Hollywood, Russell Crowe has once again trained his guns on another celebrity. This time, however, a female actress, and a former co-star to boot, is at the receiving end of the Kiwi's tirades.

  According to this article, Crowe says "Basic Instinct" star Sharon Stone looks like an "orangutan", due to the plastic surgery the Oscar-winning actor believes her "The Quick and the Dead" co-star has undergone. He reportedly said:

  A lot seems to have changed. When are you not you any more? At what point do you have to get a name change too? You can end up looking like a startled chimpanzee. The eyes are gone, the lips are like rubber tires - or more like an orangutan that has been kicked in the a**e.
  
  Ouch.

  The thing is, the ravishing Miss Stone has always denied undergoing any kind of plastic surgery to maintain her looks. As a matter of fact, she did sue a Los Angeles surgeon who claimed to have performed a facelift on her.

  Judging from this picture, do you think the Basic Instinct temptress really had plastic surgery? But here's a better question: Do you think Russell Crowe needs professional help? He seems to have had his fill of feuding with guys like George Clooney and is now bent on picking on women.

  Russell Crowe, alpha male? Yeah right. He downright sounds more like a "beee-yatch" to me, cracking about a woman's looks like that.

Takes One To KNow One
I work with quite a few plastic surgeons here in the U.S., one in particular who performs quite a lot of Orange County face lift (close to LA/Hollywood). I'll make this short and sweet… even if Ms. Stone looked like an orangutan (she does NOT), is it better to look like an orangutan or act like an ape, Mr. Crowe?
