‘Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ FLOPS

December 27, 2011 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

If you were one of the few willing to shell out an arm and a leg to go to the movies over the holiday weekend, you were probably either seeing Tom Cruise’s Napoleon complex in ‘Mission Impossible’ or Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law engaging in thinly veiled notes of man-love in ‘Sherlock Holmes.’

Jude Law Love Child Custody Agreement Details

March 15, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

It might have taken Jude Law five months to meet his latest offspring but don’t expect to see Law take on the role of ‘doting dad’ anytime soon, as the details of his visitation rights have now emerged – he’ll be seeing his daughter only twice a year. The deal was hashed out when he finally found the time to meet up with brief lover Samantha Burke and his lovechild Sophia in Miami.

Per Stupid Celebrities:

A source tells the newspaper, “Jude will visit his daughter at least twice a year, once around Christmas. His visit (to meet Sophia in February) was fleeting and seemed mainly business-like.”

A bit like Santa, presumably. Law’s child with Burke was conceived while he was filming “Sherlock Holmes” in New York. In addition to his biannually visits, Law is said to have sealed a deal with Burke to provide regular $5000 a month child support, which also includes an agreement not to talk about their fling.

Pretty sad when you turn your first meeting with your child into a business deal.

Sherlock Holmes Gay in Guy Ritchie’s Film

February 23, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

In Guy Ritchie’s upcoming film, super sleuth “Sherlock Holmes” will be portrayed as a gay man. Who knew? The fictional character famous for wearing his deerstalker hat, puffing on a pipe and solving mysteries with his trusted sidekick, will be shown sharing a bed with his very close friend Dr. Watson, in addition to some man-on-man wrestling.

Per Queerstalker:

“We’re two men who happen to be room-mates, wrestle a lot and share a bed. It’s badass.” says Robert Downey Jr. who plays Holmes.

“Guy wanted to make this about the relationship between Watson and Holmes. They’re both mean and complicated.” adds Jude Law, who plays Dr. Watson.

Last week he was ordered to re-shoot his “unrealistic” Sherlock Holmes movie. The 40-year-old ex husband of Madonna was reportedly left fuming after Warner Brothers head honchos told him several scenes didn’t reach their expectations. Ritchie has been forced to call back cast, including Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law to remake five weeks worth of footage.

I’m just wondering where the Sherlock Holmes lifestyle choice is coming from. I’ve read quite a few Sherlock stories and never once have I picked up on anything like this. If this is done right, this could be really interesting and might even be Oscar-worthy! Hope you don’t let us down Ritchie!

Sexy New Pictures of RDJ in Sherlock Holmes

February 5, 2009 By Xine Leave a Comment

Well, actually sexy pictures of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. But whose counting?? I like guys in period outfits, and this one does not disappoint in the slightest!!

I love that Robert Downey’s career has rebounded. Thank you less drugs, good rehab, “Ironman” and “Tropic Thunder“! Now this means we will have more face-time with the actor, who at 43, is still highly good looking and hitting his stride.

There are also some sweet new pictures of Rachel McAdams–in a gorgeous pink dress–from the “Sherlock Holmes” movie. Rachel is playing Irene Addler, who is seen in the books as an intellectual equal to Holmes, and escapes him before he can trap her. Since there has been little to no information on the movie personna of the character, we will have to go on this for the time being. I, for one, will be willing to bet that a little bit of sexual tension and romance could occur between Addler and Holmes.

“Sherlock Holmes” is to be released this coming November, and has Robert as the lead, and Law as Watson. The plot is still ambiguous–being stated from IMDB as:

Detective Sherlock Holmes (Downey Jr.) and his stalwart partner Watson (Law) engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.

Me thinks I am going to have to do some recon about Sherlock Holmes in preparation for this movie. And to end this post, an older, hotter, gratuitous picture of RDJ, shirtless in the role. *rowr*!
