After the Australian publication New Idea announced on their front cover that actor Russell Crowe and singer Delta Goodrem were "together at last," the celebrities felt the magazine was due a good rinsing.
Hey @DeltaGoodrem , anything we should talk about ? Want apologise to @TerriIrwin, Sophia Forrest, the unnamed Mexican companion and all my other Aust Magazine lovers. Seems I’ve moved on pic.twitter.com/M4tQP1ja85

Terri Irwin also responded jocularly.
Crikey, @russellcrowe. My magazine heart is broken! Perhaps more creative writing will help. I can't wait to see what we're all up to next! https://t.co/beT3XKkoEn

But Crowe seemed at least a little miffed as well as amused.
who believes those magazines? Recently a woman shaking with Joy that i was to be remarried , when told i wasn’t ,her tears became those of embarrassment and shame.
Regular, trusting, well meaning people read those magazines, and they are given no respect— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) November 30, 2017

In fact the related article does NOT claim that Crowe and Goodrem are romantically involved. It actually talks about a "hot new rumour" that Russell Crowe could replace Seal as a coach on The Voice.
Mashable was unable to reach New Idea for comment.
As well as being surprised to learn that the news about Crowe and Goodrem wasn't what it seemed like on the cover, people were shocked to see another piece of major news.
