Law Fills Crowe Role in Sherlock Holmes Flick
Perhaps Guy Ritchie should have heeded the words of Chris Rock at the 2005 Academy Awards: "If you want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law. Wait! You want Russell Crowe and all you can get is Colin Farrell? Wait!"
After being spurned by Mr. Crowe for the part of Dr. Watson opposite Robert Downey Jr.'s titular detective in Sherlock Holmes, Warner Brothers is close to finalizing a deal with Mr. Law to co-star in the film.
While Mr. Law isn't a box office cancer as lethal as Mr. Farrell (though we do love him in Miami Vice!), we can't say his casting inspires thoughts of nine-figure ticket returns. But maybe the sidekick role of Dr. Watson is just what Mr. Law needs to get his mojo back. read more »

Even Sean Penn Can’t Save King’s
My Wife's Hairdresser Turns the Tables on George Clooney
"He's like a non-person. If you took away the actor, what's left? He's just that character all the time. A goodlooking guy. George Clooney is always playing George Clooney. He's going to learn the lines, but it's the same character."
"Did you ever find him appealing?"
"Yes. I started off liking him, but I learned not to. All the way back to The Facts of Life [on television]. He's goodlooking, he's got that grin. It's the same guy."
"Aren't a lot of actors that way?"
"Not the good ones. Compare him to Jack Nicholson. The guy has a lot of other stuff going on under the performance, and he is able to draw on that as an actor. Jude Law. He's a person. He's very goodlooking but his characters from one movie to another are different. Watch 'Closer.' Or 'I Heart Huckabees.' He can play pathetic, and well. I don't think George Clooney can go there."
"What about the great work he has done on Darfur?"
"You caught me. I don't know about that."
Thank youuuu Kenny. For the record: George Clooney has shown tremendous initiative in visiting the Sudan and urging active American intervention to end the genocide and starvation. Bravo.
