Spencer's Pregnancies Stall Career

Russell Crowe's wife Danielle Spencer is convinced she is to be a mum again - because she falls pregnant whenever her singing career starts to take off.

The Australian wed the Gladiator star in 2003 and has twice had to put her music career on hold to give birth to their sons Charlie, six, and Tennyson, three.

Spencer released her second album, Calling All Magicians, in February (10) - and she is convinced the happy jinx will strike again and she will fall pregnant within weeks.

Spencer tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I got married and then I fell pregnant immediately. Before the wedding, I had just finished promoting andtouring my first album and fully intended to start working on my second album straight away but the timing was dictated to me... Then as Charlie got to the point where I felt I could relax a bit and have a bit of space for myself, I fell pregnant again!

"So I shelved the second album again until my second son was two, and that's when I thought OK, I feel like I can go off and work without the big guilt.

It seemed inevitable that I'd fall pregnant again but it hasn't happened yet, so I'm OK for the moment!"

In other news  it was revealled Spencers husband Russell Crowe angrily stormed out of a British radio interview on Wednesday (12May10), after the host told the actor his accent in Robin Hood sounded Irish.

The famously short-tempered Oscar-winner was chatting to broadcaster Mark Lawson for BBC Radio 4's Front Row show, when he was asked if he purposely added hints of the Irish dialect to his portrayal of the English folklore hero.

An infuriated Crowe angrily questioned Lawson's opinion - before swearing at him.

Lawson asked the star, "The accent you've given him (Robin Hood). Thereare hints to me of Irish, but what.... were you thinking in those terms?" To which Crowe replied, "You've got dead ears mate, you've seriously dead ears if you think that's an Irish accent... B**locks".

And the interview didn't get any better when the presenter tried to change his line of questioning, with Crowe returning to the issue of the accent.

The Gladiator star said, "I'm a little dumbfounded you could possibly find any Irish in that character, that's kind of ridiculous anyway but it's your show".

When Lawson tried to calm the actor by asking if the accent was supposed to hail from northern England - where Robin Hood is said to have grown up - Crowe snarled sarcastically, "No! I was going for an Italian (accent)... missed it? F**k me!" The star then walked out of the interview, adding, "I don't get the Irish thing by the way. I don't get it at all".
