BREAKING NEWS – Sydney, Australia – Actor Russell Crowe honored his wedding anniversary to ex-wife Danielle Spencer on Saturday by holding what he called a “divorce” auction, selling items of movie memorabilia from the film “Gladiator”. Crowe announced in February that Sotheby’s Australia would be holding the auction he referred to as “The Art of Divorce”. The body armor worn by Crow in his Oscar-winning role sold for about $74,000, far exceeding Sotheby’s predictions. And a replica Roman chariot from that same movie also sold for nearly $50,000, despite earlier estimates that it was worth just $7,700. Spencer kept the dagger used to stab him in the scene before the final fight in “Gladiator”, explaining that “I just can’t seem to be able to let go of that fantasy.”
