I couldn't take the joke either. I was making faces when Chris Rock kept carrying on and on. I was happy when Sean Penn spoke up. Guess I was in the minority and somewhat humorless but, there you have it.
I saw most of his stuff this year and he was excellent. I especially liked Huckabee's. Missed "Closer" but when they showed the clips and all the stars had screen time, it was obvious that Jude was robbed. In his scene with Natalie, his face was red, his hair was mussed, his eyes were wild. He should have been nominated.

Anyone hear of the rumors of Jude and Sadie doing a wife swap with their friends Pearl Lowe and her long time boyfriend Danny Goffey? Jude denied, denied, denied...threatened to sue even! And of course, because he is Jude, sooo many believed him! Because we all know Jude is a pert and proper Englishman! ::)And terribly good looking! He'd never do such a naughty thing! He's HOLLYWOOD! But now the woman, Pearl Lowe has broken down and admitted to the whole thing-that it really DID happen...and that she regrets it. Jude must be hating her since she spoke out to the very magazine he wanted to sue. Hey Jude!Where is that lawsuit now? Meheheheh! and the exclusive report, the longer bit is here, reprinted on this sienna miller fansite Is anyone shocked? Can't say I'm surprised. I adore him and he is very beautiful and seems kind(when his temper is under control) but he does have a history behind him(remember the dancer who he allegedly got pregnant and wanted her to have an abortion?) And how Sadie's dad went off fuming about knowing how Jude was a playboy, yadda yadda...? Manwhore indeed. By the way, why IS everyone calling him a manwhore? He seems to have newly aquired this title...is it because of this story? In the end, consenting adults will do as they please, but since we DO love the gossip right?... Does the name Pearl Lowe seem familiar? She is the lady that had the baby for Gavin Rossdale years ago. Very good secret keeper, that one.

I was scratching my head at Chris Rock's jokes too. Not because I'm totally humourless and can't stand to see my celebrity boyfriend mocked, but because some of the jokes totally missed their mark. Joking about Jude being in every film, and even if he's not, he's making cup-cakes, now that's pretty funny. Because it's based in truth.
It was the bit about Jude being a second-rate Tom Cruise that I thought a bit stupid, because it showed Chris Rock knew nothing about film. If someone can't get Tom Cruise, Jude is not the first person they'd think of as an alternative. That would be Matt Damon (fast moving up on Tom as the first choice for intelligent action movie star) or... I dunno, but Jude wasn't the appropriate comparison. Tom and Jude are chalk and cheese. The Russell Crowe Gladiator vs Colin Farrell Alexander comparision was more apt and therefore more funny.
Also, Chris Rock harped on about Jude a bit too much. If he'd just touched on him and moved on, the way he did with other targets, I doubt anyone would have thought anything of it. But he went on and on as if he had a personal beef. And it wasn't just biased Jude Law fangirls who thought that.
So Chris Rock says Jude Law isn't a real movie star and Sean Penn comes on to say he's 'one of our finest actors'. I think that's a fair assessment in the end.
EDITED:
chibinekocutie: Yes, interesting stuff about the swinging.
Firstly, you know it was Pearl Lowe who originally sold the story to News of the World? I know this for a fact. She wanted to make sure that she and Danny came out of it looking good. That's why the "Danny is a stud and Jude is a dud" stuff was laid on so thickly; because Pearl is still with Danny. Also the story that Jude was chasing after Pearl, because she's so gorgeous and desirable... yeah, right.
Secondly you say "Jude denied, denied, denied...threatened to sue even!" No, all that happened is that Jude's lawyers sent a letter to NotW saying the story was untrue and defamatory. He didn't threaten to sue at all. It was just a standard letter with the aim of stopping the story spreading. True or not, can you blame him?
Lastly: Pearl didn't 'break down and admit it'. After NotW started feeling the heat from Jude's lawyers they needed public corroboration of the story so they went back to her. She claims 'it's all true!', which she would do considering she was the one who originated the story in the first place. Now NotW are pretty safe from libel action because it comes down to Jude's word vs Pearl's. Sadie also had a big blow out with Pearl on the phone after the first story came out. Sadie was apparently furious with Pearl. Of course, in a follow up story, the NotW then 'revealed' that Sadie too had been chasing after Danny. Pearl's bitchy revenge.
Also, the name "Pearl Lowe" might be familiar from the "Gavin Rossdale's love child!" story, but she and Danny were also the people who threw the kids birthday party at which Jude and Sadie's daughter Iris found some ecstasy and ate it. That's why Jude isn't speaking to her, not because of the swapping.

My first thought when I saw pics of Pearl was "if that's what passes for A-OK in the UK, I'm moving there lickety-split".
Then I remembered Julie Christie.
Spending the rest of the weekend unpacking.

Though I find it to be rather sweet of you to do a break by break explaination of the things I wrote, I'm simply going by the things I've read. Especially about the bit about Jude suing the paper? It was out there big and bold in every article I've looked, thats why I stated it.
Most sources are rather one sided aren't they? I never knew it was Pearl who sold the story to the paper in the first place! How could I have forgotton about Pearl being involved in that extacy incident as well?

I actually have *some* info here. Don't ask me for names or anything, and take what I say or leave it, but Jude Law is most definitely a man-whore. He and Sadie basically had a version of an open-marriage - the Pearl/swapping rumours are true, and everybody in their circle basically knows it. I.e. it wasn't aberrant behaviour for that crowd. Nobody who isn't in either Jude or Sienna's head can be 100% sure of this, either, but I'd bet my bottom dollar Sienna knows what the score is, too. You get to marry Jude Law and you get all of the benefits and press attention from that, but you know very well that you aren't the 'only' one. It's not even like it's just Jude - it's the whole crowd, Sadie included. Don't know about Sienna but wouldn't be surprised - the partying, it is hard.
And I am neutral on Jude - his manwhorishness doesn't bother me because he seems to basically have been honest with his women about it - monogamy is not huge in certain circles, and theirs/his is one of them. I think he's an OK actor and he plays a certain character very well, but I don't think he's leading man material, for some reason...

Oh, I believe all the swinging/manwhore rumors, but I just can't picture Sienna joining that crowd. She seems too milque toast for all that. But who knows what she's like behind closed doors.
Hairiness aside I think he's way hot and I love love love his voice.

So do I, mostly because I believe something prevented Law from seeking sole custody of the kids when Sadie was falling out of her dress drunk in public and letting their daughter ingest ecstacy. I'm thinking that Sadie was holding on to info that might harm Jude's "good young father" image and should he ever call her on her various misbehaviors she'll unleash the swinging and whatever else she has in her arsenal.
I just think that he was married to Sadie Frost for more than 5 years...he has to have gotten up to some questionable things.

I believe the swinging rumours too and agree with FoxFair that it wasn't aberrant behaviour for that set. Consenting adults and all that.

Actually all the wild sex and wife swapping is making me like him more because I always found him a little boring.
But, I can still honestly say I would absolutely turn him down flat without a second thought.
