Crowe works for reduced charges
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYDNEY, Australia - Russell Crowe's lawyers are working to win a reduction of the assault charge filed against him after he allegedly hurled a phone at a New York hotel staffer, an Australian magazine has reported.
The 41-year-old Oscar-winning actor, born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, was charged with felony assault after he was accused of throwing a malfunctioning telephone at hotel concierge Nestor Estrada in June.
If convicted, Crowe could lose his right to work in the United States and could face up to seven years in prison.
In an interview published by The Bulletin magazine yesterday, Crowe said his lawyers are working to have the felony change reduced to a less serious misdemeanor.
Crowe, who has a history of explosive outbursts, said he is prepared to accept his fate.
"If I'm an international menace like the (prosecuting) attorney is suggesting, then fine," Crowe said from his home in Sdvynet, "I'll just stay here."
But even that could lead to immigration hassles, Crowe said.
"Every time I apply for a visa, it's like you need a suitcase into the embassy," he said, referring to the amount of paperwork required. "So to add this charge, even as a misdemeanor level ... basically stops me getting certain types of visa."
Last month, Crowe and Estrada reached an undisclosed settlement.
HOROSCOPES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 15, 2005: You might want to choose wisely the times you discuss your ideas, as others could be quite reactive and sometimes unhelpful. You might best be off muzzling yourself in the workplace — and maybe your daily life! Those who are friends and loved ones enjoy the discussions that evolve. You work to break past limited thinking. A person, a trip or higher education could give you that extra push. You will make money easily the first three months of this year. Save! If you are single, you will meet people easily as the weather turns cold. Shop the market. If you are attached, pick and choose your conversations. Timing could make or break the end result. AQUARIUS inspires you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
***** You can be so happy-go-lucky that you might spend more than you can afford or want to pay. Discussions with a respected friend or co-worker help you see another route that is less expensive. Others are upbeat.
Tonight: Think "weekend."
★★★ Your tamper could come out at the most inappropriate time. A boss or a respected person has been pushing your buttons. A partner does care and lets you know it. You find answers.
Tonight: Out late — perhaps later than you want.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ You might be acting out of some anger, but only hurting
yourself or someone close. Work with others and seek new ideas or ways to approach this hot situation differently. You can resolve the problem quickly. Tonight: Imagine that you are someone else.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Money has a great deal of importance to you, especially how you feel about your day-to-day life. Someone might push you too hard, and sharp words will ensue. Be ready to talk through the problem later. Tonight: Listen to a trusted partner.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22)
★★★ You might feel that you are being tested, and in some way you are. Others have their own agendas, which somehow might be in conflict with yours. An argument with someone in charge or
someone important might become a big problem. onight: Just try to relax.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
**All work and no play could have you dreaming, if not actually planning to split early. Actually, a vacation could be just what the doctor ordered. Take tomorrow off if you can. You can simply hide out at home, too.
Tonight: Take care of an important errand on the way home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ Your imagination helps you get past a close associate's grumbling. As a result of the lack of energy you give this situation, all ends well in the near future, if not immediately.
Tonight: Romp away.
SCOURPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ You might not be revealing everything that you know, which could cause some irritation between you and a partner. Know when to step back and let events take their course. Friendship plays a large role in your day. Tonight: Happy at home.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
SCRAP TARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
***** You work well with others,
at least in conversations. You might
need to lay off taking too much acti-
on or using a heavy hand at work
or on a project. Discussions rather
than actions work today.
Tonight: Go to a local haunt that
has music.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Someone might throw a tantrum when you give him or her an unequivocal no. A discussion later on will open doors to understanding. Pull away from the immediate issue before having a talk.
Tonight: Your treat.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★★ You have a way of drawing others to you. You might also cause some unintentional uproar at home or with a parent.
Schedule a quiet chat for later in the day. You will clear the air if you make the first move.
Tonight: Time with a special person.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ You seem to keep getting into trouble no matter what you do.
Spend as much time by yourself as possible, or keep your mouth closed. Don't express your opinions, for now. Talks need to happen quietly and later.
Tonight: Do what you need to do for yourself.
