It’s a tale as old as time: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love and get married, fall out of love and get divorced nine years later. Boy sells used jockstrap on the internet.
Star of film and stage Russell Crowe is merely the latest to follow this well-worn path.
And the path isn’t the only thing that’s well-worn.
Crowe says he’s selling off a whole slate of items he’s amassed over the course of his marriage. Out with the old! Or something like that.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Just as we collaborate on the upbringing of our kids,” he said, “it’s easy for us to work together on something like this. I think she feels the same way I do in regards to just moving on things that help create space for the future.”
But his reasoning hardly matters.
What matters is among the items up for auction is the jockstrap he wore in Cinderella Man, with an estimated value between $500 and $600:
featured in the scene depicting the Heavy Weight Championship bout, James J. Braddock vs. Max Baer on 13 June 1935, brown suede leather with elastic support
Accompanied by a letter from Russell Crowe stating his ownership.
But wait!
Why own one pair of Russell Crowe’s undergarments from Cinderell Man when you could own two?
It’s just called common sense, although these shorts are estimated at $1,000-2,000:
There are a staggering 227 items included in the auction, so here are just a few more fun ones:
This actual dinosaur skull that Crowe acquired from Leonardo DiCaprio:
A 1986 Grammy award won by Johnny Cash:
A lifesize prop horse from the film Gladiator:

Then why are you reading it? Me thinks the Lady doth protest too much. In fact, if it’s so “usual,” just block Queerty altogether. Is that so hard to do? THINK about it. Duh!

Then why are you here? All you queens that do nothing but bitch and carp about Queerty, go somewhere else if you don’t like the content. For fuks sake

Just something I would purchase, and no I don’t want someone’s used jockstrap. But if this is your thing, cool.
Well just let me say
This is what happens when you have too much money — what in the world did he think he was going to do with Johnny Cash’s Grammy – except show the world how much shit he’s got?? He should call up one of Johhny Cash’s grand kids and say – you (all his grandkids) guys wanna draw straws for this?
Or send to a country/western museum. He’d get a tax break – instead he wants to make more money so he – or his heirs can go out and buy more needless stuff.
