35 year-old British actor Jude Law has been gradually losing his hair and has been seen out with a much more prominent widows peak as the crown of his head is exposed. That’s nothing to be ashamed of and since my mid 20s I’ve been attracted to men who are bald or balding for some reason - not the paunchy type with wisps of a comb-over, but the proud guys who cut it short or shave it off and don’t try to hold on to their hair. Law is kind of in between and has cut it short at times but has also grown it back and hasn’t rocked a bald head like Bruce Willis.

In Law’s latest ad campaigns for Dior and Dunhill he’s had either some cosmetic or Photoshop help with his hair. The Daily Mail points out that he’s sporting much more growth at the top. It’s not really his decision whether advertisers chose to make his hair look like it did five years ago, but it’s pretty obvious that it’s not the same. Law’s rep says there hasn’t been any retouching done, though:

The widow’s peak so starkly evident in more recent photos has been filled in.

The style makes 35-year-old Law look a little more as he did when he first became famous in movies such as The Talented Mr Ripley.

While women in the public eye often have imperfections airbrushed out, Law has had perfection brushed in - either through artful hairstyling or plain artistry.
Airbrush expert Chris Bickmore said: ‘I wouldn’t say it was hairstyling as they can’t style hair that isn’t there.

‘It’s definitely been retouched to bring hair into the gaps where he’s receding.
‘It’s not really that difficult a procedure, no more than one and a half hours.’

A spokesman for Jude Law said: ‘I can categorically say there has been no digital enhancement. It is nonsense.’

Law was most recently spotted out with model Lily Cole, 20. He’s definitely trying to turn back the clock in his personal life as well as with his hair.

There’s nothing shocking about airbrushing, though. Women in magazines are subject to it constantly so men may as well be worked over too.

20 year-old cherub-faced model Lily Cole was seen leaving Jude Law’s apartment wearing what looked like one of the actor’s jackets on an afternoon after the 35 year-old actor had already left for a flight earlier in the morning. The two have been seen out to dinner and to a Radiohead concert together and it’s presumed that they’ve been dating.

First they attended a Radiohead concert in Victoria Park, Hackney, East London.

Then Law, 35, took the flame-haired model, 20, for a meal in Covent Garden, followed by a trip to the theatre.

They obviously hadn’t run out of things to talk about, for she went home with him, and did not emerge from his Maida Vale flat until the next afternoon.

Bare-legged and dishevelled, she walked to her car parked nearby and drove home. Law had emerged earlier in the morning to catch a flight to Los Angeles for a wedding.

Radiohead played Victoria Park in London on June 24 and 25, so they’ve probably gone on a few dates since. 20 and 35 isn’t that much of an age difference and Lily and Jude are both single. The Daily Mail has a photo of them standing right in the crowd at the Radiohead show. Good good for them for having excellent taste in music and not demanding star treatment.

Cole will attend Cambridge University this October, and it’s likely her relationship with Law will end up on the back burner as she meets new people and maybe focuses on her studies. In the mean time they’re both enjoying a summer romance. Thank goodness Law didn’t spend any more time with Kimberly Stewart. That girl seems like a skank of the highest order.

Kimberly Stewart, 28, is best known for being Rod Stewart’s daughter, hanging out with Paris Hilton for a few months until they inevitably tired of each other, having stints on various reality shows, and donning atrocious fashion and hairstyles - not necessarily in that order. She hasn’t made news much recently, probably because there are plenty of other candidates vying hard for the very few slots in the media consciousness for semi-attractive rich women who are famous for showing up and being themselves. The Hills women and Kim Kardashian ruined it for everyone.

Now the pixie-haired British waif has a brief change at fame again. She was photographed “snogging” Jude Law full-on at a club. Kimbo was even seen reaching down to grab Jude’s less than adequate manhood. The story goes that Jude’s bodyguards tried to delete the photos, but couldn’t figure out the camera or something:

They were clocked snogging in the VIP area of 195 Nightclub in Epping, Essex…

“We couldn’t believe it when we saw Kimberly Stewart snogging the face off Jude Law. They were really going at it and barely came up for air.

“He’s the first big name we have ever seen in there. So myself and my friends walked over and asked if we could have our photo taken with them. But they said no, turned back to face each other again then carried on kissing.

“Two bodyguards then came over to us and snatched the camera out of my friend’s hand because they had seen us taking pictures.

“They passed the camera to Jude, who then looked through our photos.

“The bodyguard later gave the camera back to us and, to our disappointment, they had deleted our pictures of Jude and Kimberly.”

Jude Law was off and on with Sienna Miller for years, and even went back to her after it became public knowledge that he cheated on her with his children’s nanny. You can see him going for Stewart - she seems just his speed. It’s doubtful he will do much for Stewart’s patchwork career, though. His star was a lot brighter when he was squiring Sienna and her ratty extensions around. Stewart seems like a low-rent version of Sienna, much like Law is a faded version of his former movie star glory. There’s still hope for him if he shaves his head, though.

I always wondered what happens to the players in a celebrity sex scandal. The celebrity usually gets to continue on with their career unabated. For the non-celeb partner in the scandal, it can often lead to new and exciting opportunities.

Take Rebecca Loos, for example. She’s had a sordid affair with David Beckham, while he was away from his wife and children in Spain. Using her new found notoriety, she appeared on a few celebrity television shows, most notably The Farm, where she masturbated a pig for some reason. Just to embarrass us all, I suspect. She also had a fake marriage to Jenny Shimizu, who is noted for her claimed relationships with Angelina Jolie and Madonna.

She’s basically slept with someone famous, and built her own small level of fame from it. Now, she’s using that to catapult her new single into the charts, or try to. You can listen to her song below. She ‘sings’ along to some irritating effects, saying “Can you tell me if your boyfriends in? Tell him I’ve got something for him. Cos I know he’s waiting for me. That’s the way it’s gonna be.”

I can’t imagine why she’d want to use her affair with David Beckham to promote herself. If I had an affair with a married man, who didn’t leave his wife (they never do), I would be so embarrassed. I would be ashamed to tell my friends, let alone sell the story to the tabloids.

Marie Claire last April featured a story titled Kiss and Sell, detailing what happens to the non-celeb half of a celebrity sex scandal when the story is over. Lisa Robertson, the flight attendant who had relations with Ralph Fiennes on an international flight while on duty, was fired from her job as a stewardess and revealed as a prostitute to her family. She was fired from the brothel that she worked at also.

Daisy Wright, who was Jude Law’s nanny before becoming something a little more meaningful, now lives away from her homeland of England and finds it hard to get work. She still works as a nanny.

I guess all this shows that while you might make some good money from selling your story, in the long term it might not be the best move you can make for your career.

When I first read this story I thought it must have been something cooked up by a journalist with an overactive imagination, and it very well might be, but movie site Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that the director of the film Heath Ledger left unfinished when he died, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, has three big names in mind to take over for his character. Since the film is a fantasy in which Ledger’s character could easily change into someone else, all three replacement actors may pay tribute to Heath with performances:

Have I mentioned how much I love this idea? Because I do. I think it’s beautiful that the script loaned itself to this sort of idea, that we’re going to see Heath Ledger’s work in Terry Gilliam’s new film, and that we’re also going to see three very interesting actors step up to offer interpretations of him as a way of paying one final tribute to this actor whose career was cut so sadly short.

We’ve heard rumors about who might be stepping in, but now we’ve got the names verified. Count on it.

JOHNNY DEPP.

JUDE LAW.

COLIN FARRELL.

Nice choices, Gilliam. Can’t wait to see what happens inside the IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS, and I’d love to get a look at the script they’re going to use as they start this next stretch of shooting on the film.

[From Ain’t It Cool News]

Ain’t It Cool News has a good reputation for getting insider information on films and this could be true. About three weeks ago unreliable British source The Sun wrote that Imaginarium director Terry Gilliam wanted Johnny Depp to take over Heath’s part. There’s a scene in which Heath’s character falls through a magic mirror, and Cinematical quotes a studio source as saying “He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in.”

Back when that story came out, the movie was in shutdown mode following the death of Ledger, and workers on the film thought it wouldn’t come back. The star of the film, Christopher Plummer, has said that Heath’s final scenes would be created using CGI imagery, and he did suggest that other actors would be used. He is quoted as saying that “Because the film deals with magic, there is a way of turning Heath into other people, and then use stills and computer generated imagery.”

Maybe Heath’s character will get turned into three other top actors. It’s exciting to think that Depp, Law and Farrell might play in this film. I bet Daniel Day Lewis would be happy to be involved too, as he dedicated his SAG Award to Heath and seemed to be very affected by his death.

Jude Law recently revealed he has no regrets about cheating on Sienna Miller with the nanny, perhaps proving the old adage that ‘Once a cheater, always a cheater’. Actually, he feels it helps him to mend his cheatin’ heart ways.

The 34-year-old is wracked with guilt over his affair with his children’s nanny - but he has tried to learn from the mistake rather than regret it.

He says: “There’s no regret. You can’t regret. I mean, I’ve felt regret but I’ve also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don’t believe it.

“You feel it, it’s like guilt, it’s like jealousy, it’s like all those horrible things and… You’ve just got to snip them and get them out, because they’re no good. Because if you regret, in a way, have you learned and moved on?”

[From Ireland Online]

Pity he couldn’t have had this epiphany after cheating on his wife Sadie Frost, he might have managed to stay faithful to Sienna. But it seems Sienna Miller might be carrying about a bit of regret, saying she wishes she’d begun her Hollywood career before getting involved with her co-star.

She said: “I fell in love with someone who was incredibly famous. That is what happened. I hate regrets. It was a beautiful time in my life. And that was the way it was meant to be.

“A certain part of me wishes that I maybe had a film out before that attention started because it has been a constant battle since.

“I met him during a film which I fought very hard for and it was a big achievement to get that role. I’d done theatre and been to drama school and suddenly it was just about what I wore and who I was with. It was never about my work and it’s still very hard for it to be about my work.”

Is it possible that now other potential co-workers and employers expect the same benefits Jude Law had? After all, the casting couch is nothing if not a hotbed of sexual activity. Or so I’ve heard.

Sienna isn’t very popular at the moment as she’s failed to show up for a court hearing, sending in a text message excuse. Sienna was meant to be a witness in the case against Otis Ferry, who is being charged with causing criminal damage after trying to prevent photographers taking pictures of Sienna. British papers are estimating her non appearance in court is costing the taxpayers up to £10,000. I doubt Sienna cares.

Jude Law was arrested for what was said to have been an attack on a paparazzo outside his home in West London. The photographer claims he was just waiting at the bus stop nearby, all innocent like, when Law recognized him and went up to him, trying to grab the camera from him, even though he was not taking pictures at the time.

According to the photographer, Law called him a pedophile and said that he was trying to get pictures of his children. He then tried to grab the camera, and the man is said to have “minor injuries” as a result.

The guy called the cops, who came and arrested Law. He was bailed out of jail and must appear in court in October.

This is very similar to an incident last year in which Law went off on a paparazzo and called him a pedophile for trying to take pictures of Law’s kids, who were there with him at the time.

The photographer said: “I was at a bus stop near Jude’s house but I wasn’t taking pictures of him. My camera was still in the bag.

“He was by himself when he recognised me and started accusing me of being a paedophile and that all I wanted to do was take pictures of his children. I was shocked at his behaviour.”

A police spokesman confirmed that officers attended the incident. “Police were called out in the Maida Vale area after reports of a disturbance and inquiries are being made.”

Law was taken to Marylebone police station on suspicion of causing bodily harm and bailed to return next month.

Law has spoken in the past about his attempts to protect his children, Rafferty, 10, Iris, seven, and Rudy, four, from the public glare.

[Daily Mail]

The article goes on to recount when a director helped Law channel his anger for a scene in which he was supposed to hit a windshield. He was told to imagine the windshield as the paparazzi, and he hit it the windshield so hard it cracked.

You can understand the guy trying to protect his children’s privacy and flipping out about it but it doesn’t sound like the kids were even around. Maybe we’re not getting the full story and the photographer was taking pictures of Law’s children 10 minutes before he came out and tried to get his camera. The must be a lot more to it if he was just coincidentally outside of Law’s house at a bus stop, toting his camera.

Ex trashy lovers Jude Law and Sienna Miller do have a lot in common. Sienna called photographers “f’ing rapists” while she was at the launch of her new clothing store and could have used some good publicity. It’s clear that Law and Miller share the same regard for the paparazzi despite the fact that they helped make them famous.

The United Kingdom issue of Cosmopolitan magazine has issued a list of eleven eligible, desirable men.

Why eleven? And who are they?

1. Orlando Bloom –Actor from Pirates of the Caribbean.
2. Wentworth Miller – That guy from Prison Break.
3. Prince Harry – British prince, not the one who’s going to be king.
4. Prince William – The other British prince who will be king of England.
5. Jude Law – If you don’t know who Jude Law is, rent Alfie and Closer.
6. Lewis Hamilton – Formula one driver
7. Robbie Williams – British pop star. Very tattooed and sexy.
8. Jason Orange – Used to be in a band with Robbie Williams. Who picked him?
9. Alex Zane – English actor.
10. Sam Branson – Richard Branson’s son.
11. David Gandy – Model.

For your viewing pleasure, click here to check them out.

Orlando Bloom secured 21% of the vote, and I’m guessing a lot of it is based on his Prince Charming role as Will turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, and less for his role as a long haired elf in Lord of the Rings.

If only the real princes, William and Harry, could be as attractive as Orlando. Every time a poll comes out of Britain those two seem to feature highly, but I wouldn’t describe them as sexy at all. Then again, the Cosmopolitan survey was ranking them on desirability, and royalty is perhaps desirable. I’m a little unsure about the family as a package though.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Pictures via the OMG, Orlando Bloom is hoooooot! thread on the JJB board, which has over 110 pages of people agreeing that Bloom is indeed hoooooot and posting picture proof.

Cameron Diaz is dating Jude Law?

The British actor, who played Cameron’s lover in festive comedy The Holiday, is set to spend a romantic week with the stunning actress.

A source is quoted as saying: “Jude is going to take her on a series of romantic dates this week.

“They had a lot of fun while making The Holiday and this is the key to their relationship.”

Stuff

Cameron, 34, met Jude, also 34, on the set of The Holiday last year, when she was still with Justin Timberlake (Not that I’m suggesting anything improper!). She was quoted at the time as saying “Jude is charismatic, fun, open and charming. It is very easy to fall in love with him.”

Tell that to the former nanny! Actually, Daisy Wright (the nanny who had a fling with Jude Law and broke up his engagement with Sienna Miller) was just interviewed by Marie Claire magazine about her life post-sex scandal, and had this to say.

“I know this sounds naive, but I didn’t realise how big the story was going to be. To this day, I can’t bring myself to read it. I went against everything I stood for. It was just what I though was right at the time.”

Marie Claire Australia, print edition, May 2007.

I always wonder what happens to those women who sleep with famous people and sell their story. Six months later are their mothers talking to them again? How hard is it to get work again after? Do people come up to you on the street for a long time after? Seems a lot to give up for a couple of hundred thousand from a tabloid newspaper.

Daisy says she plans to use the money she made to open an African orphanage, and now works full time again as a nanny.

Note by Celebitchy: Jude Law’s spokesperson denies that there’s any sort of romance between these two, saying “He hasn’t seen her for months. They’re friends but that’s it.” At least Diaz isn’t being linked with that scumbag Criss Angel any more. Header picture is from The Holiday UK premiere on 12/05/2006.

Jude Law, Sienna Miller, and Sienna’s mother, (who some commentors on the JJB board think looks like Fergie) attended the opening of the Metropolitan Opera in New York last night. Sienna’s fake hair seemed almost natural, and although her dress didn’t fit quite right she looked surprisingly good. Does this mean that Jude and Sienna are back together this week? Probably, but I stopped caring long ago.

Sky Showbiz notes that Jude and Sienna were careful not to be photographed together, and posed with Sienna’s mother in between them. It doesn’t seem like they’re being that sneaky to me if they all went out together and were willingly photographed.

Sienna’s performance as Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgwick in “Factory Girl” is said to be Oscar worthy and could help cement the 24 year-old’s acting career:

We’ll see what happens for Sienna. It’s going to be an interesting Oscar season if both Sienna Miller and Ben Affleck are nominated.
