Russell Crowe has announced he and his wife, Danielle Spencer, are expecting their second child. The `Cinderalla oan’ star told his good news to record-company executives at a dinner following the Australian Film Institute Awards in Melbourne last weekend. His singer wife was not yet showing any signs of a baby bump when she, Russell and their first-born, Charles, – who turns two in two weeks – were spotted relaxing at a park last week. Danielle has been recording two new tracks for her next album, expected for release later this month. [6 December 2005]
