Russell Crowe satisfies his sweet tooth
(examiner.com)
Russell Crowe is a chocoholic. Or at least a cupcake freak. He stopped into Georgetown Cupcake on Thursday (waiting his turn like other customers) and picked himself out an assortment of a dozen cupcakes, including "chocolate squared," chocolate with vanilla icing and red velvet, among others. A little later, an assistant returned with a specific list from him for more. Crowe and his co-stars of "State of Play" filmed Saturday and Sunday at the Rosslyn Metro station, as well as at the parking garage of the still-under-construction Turnberry Towers condo development a block away.

If you were having traffic in and around U Street today, blame one person: Russell Crowe. Or at least blame the fact that "State of Play" was filming at various locales along the street, including Washington's famous Ben'sChili Bowl.

At Shamrock Fest, Crowe Plays 'Blues' for a Green Crowd
(washingtonpost.com)
Now and again, one of those unlikely-sounding celebrity rumors actually does pan out. Buzz started building a week ago that Russell Crowe might -- just might-- make a surprise cameo at Saturday's Shamrock Fest concert at RFK. The speculation was stoked by Celt-rock cognoscenti hip to the actor/bar-band singer's friendship with Canadian folkies Great Big Sea and aware that Crowe is hunkered down in D.C. for a month filming the political thriller "State of Play." But not even the music festival organizers had a clue if it would actually happen -- until the star's entourage showed up several minutes into GBS's 9 p.m. set. And then at the encore, Crowe walked onstage. With the band he performed Johnny Cash's"Folsom Prison Blues" and an Irish ballad. And everyone pretty much went nuts. Fans said Crowe was looking kind of hirsute, with longish hair. How'd he sound? Forgot to ask!
