Russell Crowe's rage came after he noticed a newspaper report that claimed the CEO of Crown Resorts Rowen Craigie (top left) backed rival team the Canterbury Bulldogs to win Sunday's NRL grand final. After a night of celebrations, Crowe took to Twitter at 6am on Monday to attack his billionaire mate James Packer's senior executive. 'Rowen Craigie needs to start looking for another job. You pelican,' the Gladiators star wrote. But it seems his quick temper may have caused him to react too soon. Craigie told Daily Mail Australia: 'I was barracking for Souths on the night and all of us at Crown are delighted about the Grand Final result. Comments I made before the match about a Canterbury upset were just a reference to a possible upset given Hawthorn's victory over the Swan's last week in the AFL.'

NEW Outspoken Perth preacher Mohammed Junaid Thorne has penned another furious tirade. But this time, he wasn't teeing off about politics, but rather, his disgust with the 'despicable' game of rugby league and its fans. In a Facebook post addressed to his followers, Thorne recalled recent scenes in the Bankstown and Punchbowl areas in south-west Sydney - Bulldogs territory. He said it was 'horrific'. '[There were] cars racing down the road driven by maniacs, horning and honking, disturbing Allah's creation, Muslim women (Hijabis unfortunately most of the time) hanging out of the windows screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs, and other despicable and despising scenes, all unfortunately done by Muslims, some of them in their Hijab or Islamic attire.'

It was one of his first-ever interviews - and it was with the British music sensation Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED), at that. But for amateur interviewer Ryan (pictured left image, on the right) it may well be his last. He left behind his notes about the electronic music producer, which described the U.K. dynamo as 'f***ing boring to interview' and someone who 'just doesn't smile'. The DJ, better known as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, found the funny side of the situation despite the rude remarks, writing 'it's all true'. His social media fans came to his defence, observing the journalist's questions were 'hideously boring'.

The race was cut short by nine laps as Marussia driver Jules Bianchi (left) crashed out at the same site as Adrian Sutil's Sauber - which was being recovered by marshals and machinery at the time (pictured centre, and right). Unconscious Bianchi was taken to hospital by ambulance under police escort and the race was immediately red flagged. The tractor (top right) had been preparing to drag Sutil's Sauber, which had spun off in heavy rain on lap 46 of a dramatic and weather-interrupted race. As the recovery was taking place, Bianchi also spun off at the same corner and crashed side-on into the tractor.

The trio, appearing on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher (right) on Friday, collided while debating whether large numbers of the Muslim population share the beliefs of jihadists. It led to the actor saying: 'It's just an ugly thing to say. It's gross, it's racist. It's like saying: "Oh you shifty Jew".' The controversial TV host said Islam is the only religion that acts like the Mafia, because they will kill you if you 'say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture or write the wrong book'.

She has now travelled to Hawaii for $40,000 worth of treatment but has run out of money. Over the past few years she has become wracked with daily seizures and suffers in constant agony from brain shut-downs and major digestive issues.

The 41-year-old mother, from Hastings in Victoria, had never been out of Australia at the age of 13 so when she first began to suffer the painful effects of what she has always believed to be Lyme disease doctors - who do not believe Lyme's exists in Australia - told her she was making it up.

It only took 20 minutes in the Chelsea v Arsenal Premier League clash for Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho's long-running feud to boil over. Tempers boiled over after Mourinho remonstrated with fourth official Jon Moss over a foul tackle by Gary Cahill on Alexis Sanchez. The Chelsea boss pushed back as officials and members of the teams' coaching staff rushed to break them up, but he later said he the incident was 'no problem'. The two managers have argued frequently since Mourinho first came to England in 2004. Wenger has never beaten a Mourinho side.

A host of wacky designs, held at the National Archives in Kew, Richmond, for 150 years, have been revealed for the first time and made into a book. They include a corset with an expandable bust (top left), ventilating hat (top right) and a combined knife and fork (bottom right).
