"And the latest celebrity to ride the train to Splitsville appears to be Russell Crowe. The Sydney Morning Herald broke the story this morning, and it&amp;#039;s come as a shock to most of Hollywood, since Crowe and Spencer&amp;#039;s marriage was thought to be one of the more solid ones in the business. The couple met twenty-two years ago on the set of a movie, and they have two sons together. So far, the split seems to be amicable and a pre-nup is in place, so there shouldn&amp;#039;t be too much in the way of litigation. Both Crowe and Spencer have remained without comment since the news was reported. I hope they keep it that way. We all love celebrity gossip, I know. It&amp;#039;s exciting when something life-changing happens to a star you love - or loathe. I think Russell Crowe has got a boatload of talent (I&amp;#039;m seriously looking forward to the premiere of &amp;quot;Les Miserables&amp;quot; - he&amp;#039;ll make an excellent Inspector Javert). Unfortunately for celebs like Russell, the price you pay for all that great celebrity exposure is that your personal life is exposed as well. I always love it when a celebrity couple just zips their lips and says &amp;quot;Sorry world, this is none of your business. We&amp;#039;re handling it, OK?&amp;quot; I have to give kudos to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for the same thing. Negotiations in private, no public statements, zip-zap-zoom and it&amp;#039;s done and over and they both try to go on with their lives, holding the damage to a minimum for their kids. Too bad even the everyday people can&amp;#039;t do it that way, as well.  Were you surprised to hear about Russell and Danielle? He&amp;#039;s been out of the spotlight for awhile, so I honestly can&amp;#039;t say I saw it coming or know enough about them to be terribly surprised by it.
