Meg Ryan tells just exactly what happened and why as she ended her relationship with Hollywood hunk Russell Crowe.

That's right. According to the Hanging Up star, she ended the little fling because Russell's attention and gifts (including a puppy and a vintage 1963 Buick Riviera) were "too much too soon."

Also, it was Meg the Gladiator asked to be his date for the Golden Globe Awards, but as she declined Russell came late and left early. That was the infamous night-with-Courtney-Love too.

The gifts, the one-night stand and whatever else doesn't upset Meg as much as her ex-lover's failure to deny the Russell-dumped-Meg stories.
