Hotel porter to sue Crowe
Russell Crowe is facing a lawsuit from the hotel porter he injured at New York City's Mercer Hotel during a telephone rage assault earlier this month, after settlement talks collapsed.
The suit alleges the Gladiator star threw a ceramic bowl at Nestor Estrada after he had hit the clerk in the face with the telephone from his hotel room, and the prosecution will present witnesses to the attack as well as CCTV footage of Crowe's actions.
