Russell Crowe wants 17 children. The Australian actor - who has two sons with wife Danielle Spencer - has no intention of ending his family there, and is desperate to have a little girl.

He said: "I want 17 or so kids. I say to my wife, 'Imagine having a daughter! A little you running around!' She just smiles and nods and says 'Yeah, yeah... no.'"

Nicole Kidman has planned her two-month-old daughter's marriage. The "Moulin Rouge!" star wants Sunday Rose, her first child with husband Keith Urban, to marry Russell Crowe's youngest son Tennyson, two.

Russell revealed: "Nicole had one look at my younger son Tennyson, and looked up at me and said, 'I'm a great believer in arranged marriages.'"
