Sherlock Holmes
Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law at premiers of their movie “Sherlock Holmes – A Game of Shadows” as well as their appearances on talk shows promoting the film – and they all have something in common. Jude Law is ALWAYS wearing a hat – not matter how inappropriate it is. (Knit beanies just look silly with tuxes.)The NY Post verbalized what we’ve been thinking – that Jude, 38, must be having hair transplants. His hair has been thinning fast and a bit of augmentation might look great. We remember when Jeremy Pivens went through the same hat-wearing routine….(PS: A man that good looking should never grow a beard)GUY RITCHIE: STILL LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Guy Ritchie is hard at work filming Sherlock Holmes 2 with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, but he took a night off to spend time with his model girlfriend Jacqui Ainsley. They’ve been together since April and Jacqui seems perfectly happy having a bite of food and a few drinks at Guy’s own pub, the Punch Bowl. Life after Madonna is not at all bad!
WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO SMELL LIKE JUDE LAW?
Jude Law hopped on the train from London to Paris ($100) to film another Christian Dior Homme Sport fragrance ad. He’s been their spokesperson for a few years and looks more like a model than most actors. The ad featured a vintage Mercedes convertible and and a pretty woman and was directed by Jude’s Sherlock Holmes pal Guy Ritchie. (That’s Guy on the far right, above) Ritchie is prepping the next Holmes movie and hopes to start filming as soon as possible.

And a happy wallet. He’s on top of the world since “Sherlock Holmes” turned out to be a hit – 400 million dollars worldwide – despite mixed reviews. Ritchie has offers, and he was thinking about directing an action thriller “Lobo,“ but he’ decided to strike while the iron is hot and get to work on another Sherlock Holmes movie. All the original stars have agreed to return. Life after Madonna isn’t so bad.
GUY RITCHIE TURNED MILD-MANNERED SHERLOCK HOLMES INTO A SUPERSLEUTH
Sherlock Holmes’ nemesis Mark Strong is the hottest villain in any movie we can remember. If you think you know what Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” is going to be like, you’re probably wrong. Guy has turned Holmes (Robert Downey Jr) into a Superhero! The sets and costumes are gorgeous and appropriate, but this is an ACTION MOVIE, not unlike Batman. Explosions, crashes, and life threatening situations abound with special effects – aimed at the teenage boy mentality. We prefer a more cerebral Holmes with an intricate plot and clues, but this might be right up your alley.

Jude Law is already back in London taking his little boy Rudy Christmas shopping. He finished his successful Broadway run of “Hamlet” on December 6, and now he’s gearing up to promote Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes,” which opens December 25. Where does that leave Sienna Miller?
GUESS WHO THIS FAMILIAR FACE IS!

We NEVER would have guessed this was Robert Downey Jr! Maybe it’s the face he’s making or the facial hair, but he looks like an entirely different person in this photo taken in New York during fashion week. Robert is working constantly, pumping out movies (including Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes,”) so there’s no recession in his life.

Jude Law’s kids are lucky because their parents had a civilized divorce. They’re on good terms. Jude’s in New York filming Sherlock Holmes and his children live with his exwife Sadie Frost in London. Sadie made arrangements to have their two youngest kids, iris and Rudy, visit him on the Brooklyn set. They also spent a day having fun in Soho.
ROBERT DOWNEY JR'S SHERLOCK IS HOTTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

Guy Ritchie looks like he’s making a comeback. His RocknRolla was surprisingly entertaining, and now he’s filming Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr in the title role. Robert’s clothing makes him look less stuffy than the usual Holmes, and rather modern in a neo-romantic way. This photo was taken at a London location. Rachel McAdams is costarring with Jude Law as Dr Watson. Oh, and Mark Strong, that good looking guy who played Archie in RocknRolla is in it too.
SACHA BARON COHEN AS SHERLOCK HOLMES: IT'S ELEMENTARY
If they were still alive, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, who played the original Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, might be surprised and delighted at the actors selected to reprise those roles today. “Knocked Up “ producer Judd Apatow has cast Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) as Holmes, and Will Ferrell as Dr Watson in his new comedy. The pair met when they costarred in “Talladega Nights.” We predict Sacha will be delicious as the showy detective who was a master of disguise and deductive reasoning, as well as an occasional coke-head. And if Will can muster up an English accent he should be fun as the fussy, protective, right hand man Watson.
