It doesn't take much detective work to find out that the cast and crew of Sherlock Holmes have landed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams, and Jude Law, and they're all readying for their close-ups at the Marcy Avenue Armory at 355 Marcy Avenue, according to Filming in Brooklyn who notes the location is the same "where the interiors of Neville’s house were shot for I Am Legend." The NY Post even has some photographic evidence of the two male leads, and report back that "the Hollywood heavyweights were dressed in 19th-century period wear yesterday...Law sporting a distinguished mustache." The movie, which is actually set in London, is being directed by Guy Ritchie, but at least he's got the Williamsburg Bridge to separate him from his ex and A-Rod.

New York mid-December always smells vaguely of pine and peppermint, despite our recent springtime temperatures. Bring that cozy holiday feeling with you into the cineplex for a couple of new feel-good holiday movies.

Two quite controversial and buzzed about movies hit New York theaters this weekend. So far the critical opinion of raving lunatic Mel Gibson's new foreign language feature, . Now we finally get to see the film they thought was going to be such a public relations nightmare. Leo plays a South African diamond smuggler who teams up with a Sierra Leone farmer (the always excellent Djimon Hounsou) to outwit a syndicate of businessmen. From the trailers it looks pretty heartpounding, and not just because the lovely Jennifer Connelly is also in it.

- And when you're walking along Spring Street, wondering who the guy wearing the really tight, kinda gay leather jacket and the girl in tatty-ho clothing, trying to walk right into oncoming traffic, you better realize it's Jude Law and Sienna Miller, spasticly trying to get to their chauffered black SUV (poor picture above)

You know it's the Oscars when P. Diddy busts out the velvet suit! Gothamist loves the Oscars, and we're going to attempt to do a little liveblogging. We might need to order a vat of caffeine and an EMT team at the ready; not because Chris Rock will be boring, but because we think that Gil Cates might kill us with his newfangled ideas and because we're meh about this year's nominees in the big categories. Anyway, onto the show.

Father Joe: Lesson number one to Ashlee should have been that usually singers can change the songs they sing midway through. Think Elvis Costello's 1977 SNL appearance, when he started to play Less Than Zero but then switched to Radio, Radio; SNL hadn't wanted him to play Radio, Radio, which criticized his record label, but Elvis showed them. Anyway, Gothamist did think that Ashlee sounded surprisingly less screechy during first song Pieces of Me (we've seen her MTV show, and boy, can she not really sing), so it wasn't a surprise that she lip synced - the shock and surprise is that it was unveiled like this. Ashlee's limited talent aside, we'd like to point out that the fish stinks from the head - management, record labels, the marketing machine, etc., for encouraging and supporting a culture of lip syncers, and the fact is that tons of singers do it. Odds are that Ashlee will develop at least a very bad rash, if not another inferiority complex, from this incident. We can only wait for the next Teen People to address this. And the poor talent team of Jude Law - was the one supposed to be at the center of attention.

"), so Wells suggests a word for the promiscous men: Benbo (a Ben-inspired alternative to the short-lived himbo). This reminds Gothamist of the wonderful Japanese bento box, so it's not an option in our book, but we like the idea. We'll just try to use the word slut more equinaminously.

Gothamist has been thinking about Jude Law and his recently announced wishes to divorce actress Sadie Frost. See, for some reason, Gothamist has paid attention to various Jude Law interviews and features, and we know that he has a tattoo that says "You came along to turn on everyone sexy Sadie" (yes, the Beatles song). He can either go the Angelina Jolie route and get it partially removed. Or he can go to the Johnny Depp route and revise it a little ("Wino Forever"....hee hee!). If he decides to change it a little, here are some quick ideas:

Oscar Commentary
Oscar is celebrating its 75th anniversary, I'm celebrating my 25th anniversary of watching Oscar.

Ever since American laid on eyes on him in The Talented Mr. Ripley, Jude Law has been an object of desire for both men and women. If British tabloid The Sun is to be believed, Law and wife Sadie Frost are divorcing. This comes after reports that Frost, best known for a small part in Bram Stoker's Dracula or as Jude Law's wife, was in the hospital for post-partum depression. Claims that Law is now involved with Nicole Kidman, while filming Ripley director Anthony Minghella's adaptation of the Charles Frazier book, Cold Mountain, are adding fuel to the fire. Who knows, but for some reason, I can see Nicole Kidman more as homewrecker, than woman scorned. We'll just wait for Us Weekly, People, and other magazines to dissect.
