Russell Crowe takes his son Charlie, 3 1/2, to pick up a dress for mommy Danielle Spencer during a shopping trip at “Harry Who” in the Double Bay area of Sydney on Thursday.

Russell, 43, has reportedly been approached by director J.J. Abrams to play a villain in the new Star Trek movie.

“Russell is definitely considering J.J. Abrams’s offer,” said a source. “Russell was always a Star Trek fan as a kid, which is a big bonus. A baddie would seem more likely for Russell. He could play a part in the historic movie without having to compete with any of the original cast’s performances.”

The new Star Trek movie is due out December 2008.

Sydneysiders Russell, Danielle and Charles Crowe walk through the back streets of Darlinghurst on the coldest morning that Sydney has had in 21 years. The thermometer dipped to 3.7º C / 38.66 ºF.

Over the weekend, Russell, 43, and Danielle, 37, attended The Music for Children Ball 2007 at the Four Seasons Hotel on in Sydney.

Russell, 42, had attended the round two NRL match between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Parramatta Eels at Telstra Stadium.

The Gladiator star is now being touted to star as Sherlock Holmes. A source tells UK’s The Daily Express, “Unlike previous films this one is going to focus more on Holmes’ physical attributes, including his talent for bare-knuckle and sword fighting, which were both mentioned in the original books.

“Russell is the favorite for the role as it’s felt he’ll give the character the action-man-like qualities the part is going to require. He’s also proved in past films that he can pull off a convincing British accent.

“It’s hoped the new story will retain the traditional flavor of the original books and it will be made in participation with the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle estate.”

Big name Aussie hunks — Hollywood actor Russell Crowe, swimming world champion Ian Thorpe and Oprah’s favorite gardener Jamie Durie — flock to the premiere of Bra Boys at the State Theatre on Wednesday night in Sydney, Australia.

Says Russell of the autobiographical flick, “What I tried to do was instill the confidence to stick with their original intention, which was to make a documentary-length feature about their lives and who they are.”

There was a Bra Boys brawl as the post-premiere party and amazingly enough, Russell Crowe was not involved.
