Now granted, we gossip bloggers tend to get away with quite a bit. For the most part, the people we mock tend to take it pretty well. Occasionally, someone gets called out (or punched in their stupid face), or in the case of Russel Crowe, invited out for a bike ride after a reporter took a few cracks at his workout routine.

Russell Crowe, not exactly renowned for his loving relationship with the media, fought back at an Australian gossip hound's less than complimentary take on his workout regime after photos appeared of him this week supplementing his regular 13-mile bike ride with smoke breaks and tacos.

So what did he do? He didn't throw a phone, write a poemor start a Twitter war (ahem). He simply challenged Judgy McColumnist to accompany him, video camera in tow, on one of his rides. (Source)

Honestly, that's pretty impressive for a guy who would, if it were legal, forcibly lobotomize a man for looking at him funny. Seriously, good on the guy for taking a shot like that and having some fun with it. Just never call his ability to dial a phone into question. That might not end quite as well...
