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 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:

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