Jude Law Takes The Train To Paris For Christian Dior

Jude Law and director Guy Ritchie teamed up again in Paris yesterday. But before you get your hopes up for a new film, they're not working on the next Sherlock Holmes flick; they were actually filming a commercial for French fashion brand Christian Dior.

Jude was spotted driving a vintage Mercedes around the city of lights and hanging out under the Eiffel Tower for the ad. Guy and Jude were also spotted chatting it up in between scenes.

'Sherlock Holmes' Investigates Brooklyn

You may have heard some rumblings about drama on the set of "Sherlock Holmes" late last year. The film, starring Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams, and Jude Law, has had its fair share of mishaps. First, it was announced the film’s director Guy Ritchie and wife Madonna were getting divorced. Then RDJ was injured while filming and to top it off a tanker truck exploded on set. The movie was filming throughout London for most of the fall and early winter with locations including Freemason's Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Brompton Cemetery.

"Sherlock Holmes" has finally made its way to this side of the pond. Today, they are filming at the Marcy Avenue Armory, 355 Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The armory is a “qualified film production facility”, meaning all state and city tax credits apply when the building is used. Since money talks, it is a popular location. “I Am Legend”, “28 Days Later”, and “Meet the Parents” were all filmed in the Marcy Avenue Armory whose history and architecture make it a perfect backdrop for a period piece like “Sherlock Holmes”. Hopefully, the movie’s “curse” hasn’t followed it’s cast and crew stateside but just in case we’d steer clear of Marcy Ave in Williamsburg for the next few weeks.

If you have any tips about where else movies or TV shows are filming, send them our way at tips@jaunted.com.

Stars Aren't Like Us. (Because They're Still On The Beach.)

Around the world, the last New Year's Eve overpartiers are finally crawling into work--but not your favorite celebrities. We figure anyone on a beach this week is just rubbing it in, so let's examine the culprits:

"Heroes" costars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia walked along a beach in Bora Bora toward their private villa. Also in the Pacific, Kate Moss took her boyfriend Jamie Hince to Surin Beach on Phuket, where she once got married (in a non-binding ceremony) to ex Pete Doherty. Might history repeat itself?

Meanwhile, among those dipping their toes into the Atlantic were Amy Winehouse, who seemed not to leave her house in 2008 at all until this trip to St. Lucia. Jude Law stepped off the London set of "Sherlock Holmes" long enough to take his kids to Copacabana Beach in Rio. And the celebrity-ridden beaches of Cabo provided Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli with a beach holiday and Jennifer Aniston a potential respite from the rumors about her very Mayer Christmas. Must be nice! We're going to go put another sweater on.

Jude Law Goes To Cuba For Christmas

Strangely enough, some of the presidential candidates have taken up the issue of reopening trade and travel with Cuba. These candidates--Barack Obama and Ron Paul among them--may have an unlikely ally in Jude Law, who spent Christmas in Cuba with ex-wife Sadie Frost and his kids, taking salsa lessons.

We read that Law was actually influenced in his decision by one of our favorite "guilty pleasure" movies, "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights." By that logic, now that we've seen "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" we should be buying our tickets to South Dakota any day now.

Jude Law Is India's Model Tourist

Jude Law has a new travel partner, Harper's Bazaar editor Kim Hersov, and my how his travel taste has changed.

Back in 2006, Jude was our go to source for the LA's Strip Club scene. Fast forward to April 2007 and he is traveling around India with Kim Hersov, looking like the picture perfect tourist.

Why India? Is he looking to learn from the Hindu gurus, or is the new couple on their way to a beach hut in Goa?

Let's hope it is the latter because it is Africa hot in India this time of year--from a recent travel message board discussion:

Question
Hi ...I will be visiting Rishikesh from April27th. to May11th. Would u please advise me how the weather will be like? I need your help because it's my first visit of Rishikesh. Thanks.

Answer
It will be hot, hooot, hoooooot , HOOOOOT all the way. Wear as minimum as you can. Carry an umbrella and plenty of sun screen

If anyone knows the Indian backdrop in the above photo, help your fellow travelers out and leave it in the comments below.

Movie Set Travel: Breaking and Entering

Jude Law takes time off from womanizing this week in Breaking and Entering, where he plays a flourishing landscape architect in London who decides to confront the gang of local thugs who've been vandalizing his state-of-the-art office. How this got turned into an entire movie, we'll never know.

Law is living with Liv (Robin Wright Penn) and his dealings with a young thief in the gang persuade him to begin re-evaluating his life, turning the film into "a series of criminal and emotional thefts." Liv, lookout, you are about the get two-timed!

As this movie was shot in London (convenient for Law), we offer you some cool things to check out around London town. Cheers!

Where To Stay:
Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel
Pop on over to luxe Knightsbridge and check in at the recently renovated (to the tune of $15.5 million) local Jumeirah. With 87 rooms, you can rest in your art-laden sanctuary, or enjoy unlimited access to the Peak Health Club & Spa next door. Suites feature high-level amenities and the concierge can even arrange horse riding trips for you in nearby Hyde Park.

Where To Eat:
Petrus
We know, we know, we find celeb chef Gordon Ramsay annoying too, but still recommend checking out Petrus. Modern French cuisine is served in this claret room with white chairs, and you can start with Scottish scallops, move on to wild seabass (with pink fir potatoes!) and finish up with Almond panna cotta. Twists on amazing originals.

Where To Speak Out:
Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park
Something on your mind? Head to the northeast corner of Hyde Park on Sunday mornings and sound off on whatever you want. This weekly tradition began in 1855, and you'll hear people from all walks of life talking about whatever they feel like to whoever will listen. Maybe Ramsay should hit this up....
