Certainly, there are stranger gifts Matt Lauer could have given Russell Crowe on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM ET on NBC), but we can't seem to think of any. Lauer presents Crowe with a tiny pair of gold lamé shorts, referencing a past comment of his about outlandish fashion at the Cannes Film Festival.

Lauer gives the ultra-tight pair of shorts to Crowe while the actor is in Cannes for the premiere of his new movie 'Robin Hood.' "Oh, dear. I think that's one leg ... Look at that, Matt. You know that your fans in America will want to see this just before the 8:30 news," Crowe said, holding the pair of shorts up to the camera.
