Clooney and Crowe feud gets nastier

George Clooney and Russell Crowe have been insulting each other in the press, according to The Sun today.
The feud started when Crowe accused Clooney, Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford of abusing their celebrity status by appearing in foreign advertisements.
Clooney soon defended himself, with a reference to Crowe's rock band, 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts.
"I'm glad he set us straight," Clooney said. "Harrison, Bob and I were thinking of putting a band together called Grunting For 30 Feet. But we reckon that would also fall under the heading of 'bad use of celebrity'."
However, the jibes are now getting nastier, with Crowe accusing Clooney of being an amateur actor.
"George is a dilettante," Crowe commented. "Check the facts, I think I was playing in a band before George was born."
