Jude Literally Drove Ex-wife Insane!?!?

Jude Law‘ s ex-wife, Sadie Frost, recently revealed that her six-year marriage to Law pushed her to check into a psychiatric ward. Frost writes about the experience in her book called Crazy Days, which Law attempted to prevent from going public. A month before the book was to be published, the actor went so far as to sue Frost in the High Court in order to have certain passages about the marriage and their three children removed. The two eventually settled.

Frost first met the would-be star in 1993 when he was 19 and she was 26. At the time, he was impoverished and had to barrow money for bus fares and she was a married mother of one. Still, Frost found herself drawn to Law, “who was living hand-to-mouth between acting jobs.”

As Law became famous and began living a Hollywood lifestyle and as the two began having children, Frost became increasingly depressed. She explains that as the couple began to socialize with elite celebrities such as Jonny Lee Miller, Ewan McGregor, and Kate Moss, she began to sink into a hole of despair and insecurity. She sought medical attention and was diagnosed with post-natal depression. Frost was medicated and about her situation said: “The more I worried about my condition, the more self-obsessed I became and the less attention I gave to Jude.”

After her condition did not improve, Law’s ex-wife was admitted to a California psychiatric institution. Regarding the facility, Frost said: “The psychiatric ward was as bad as I’d imagined: plastic sheets on the bed and bars on the windows. ” Frost eventually moved in with a friend from London and by this time knew her marriage to Jude Law was over.

Watch out Sienna! Not only did Jude cheat on you, but also literally drove his ex-wife crazy… not exactly great husband material.

The Inceptive Tom Hardy!

Move over Leonardo, Tom Hardy is here!

As millions flock to movie theaters to watch the sci-fi action thriller Inception, many movie-goers probably find themselves wondering who the dashing British actor is who plays the character of Eames. The name of this particular rising star is Tom Hardy. The 33-year-old London-born player has gradually been building an impressive reputation around Tinseltown and is on the verge of breaking out to become Hollywood’s next big leading man.

After studying drama in London, Hardy got his first big break in the acclaimed HBO/BBC miniseries Band of Brothers in 2001. The actor went on to work in various feature films like Black Hawk Down with Ewan McGregor, Star Trek: Nemesis opposite Sir Patrick Stewart, and most recently Inception alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

Hardy is currently preparing to replace seemingly bi-polar Aussie Mel Gibson as the lead character of Max in the upcoming installment of the post-apocalyptic Mad Max franchise, Mad Max: Fury Road. South African actress Charlize Theron is rumored to be Hardy’s co-star in the film, which is slated for a 2012 release.

Maybe it’s about time Leo, and Mel for that matter, pack their bags and move to Shutter Island… eh Tom?

Guy’s Dolls!

A little dickie tells me Guy Ritchie is considering his next movie move, and it’s not what you’d think.

The director, who is most famous for his hardman gangster flicks is thinking about making a new big-screen adaptation of the classic musical Guys and Dolls, which is er, basically gangsters wearing jazz shoes…

If true (and my souces are pretty good) it begs certain questions, like I wonder what his ex-missus will have to say about this, as music’s her department, and who would Guy cast in the lead roles?

Well you all know what a big Jason Statham fan I am, and Guy has always been one for putting his mates in his movies, well from what I hearing Jase Stath has long fancied himself as a bit of a ‘Sinatra-style’ crooner. If there’s ever been a man with the swagger to bring back the pearly king for 2010, it’s surley got to be uber-man Statham, he’s Tommy Steele on viagra, so playing the all singing and dancing gangster might be right up his (ahem) alley.

Then there’s Vinnie Jones, he might well like a stripy suit in real life, but could I really see him shuffle-ball-changing across a sound stage…? Erm maybe not!

As for Ewan McGregor he is the likeliest candidate to take a part if offered. McGregor trod on the boards back in 2005 playing dashing gambler Sky Masterson in London’s West End to rave reviews, his A-list pedigree would certianly be what’s needed to carry such a movie.

I can’t wait to see Ritchie’s upcoming film, Sherlock Holmes, which stars Robert Downey Jr doing his usual wry, wisecracking schtick as the title character, and Jude Law as his sidekick Watson, I saw the trailer the just recently and I have to say it looks brilliant. It’s an egregious twist for her but now Guy is finally out of Madonna’s spotlight it looks as if he is on course for a massive blockbuster…

I really hope Ritchie can pull this one off, after all Chicago did wonders for its director Rob Marshall, not to mention the career of Catherine Zeta Jones, Rene Zellweger and Richard Gere, although I can’t quite imagine how Guy’s favoured cockney accents, slow-mo fight scenes and action editing techniques will work in a musical. But ‘ang abaaat maybe that’s just what this musical needs…

Oh well, at least now he’s back on the market he won’t be forced into casting a certain someone as Miss Adelaide!
