Jude Law is in the Czech Republic for the annual film festival, and the photos of him are quite amazing. I love when he looks like this – all tan and smarmy and furry and sweaty and pretty, all at once. Why can’t American men look like this? Only Europeans. It sucks. He is such a beautiful man, it’s not even funny. The photo of him with his sunglasses on, licking his lips as he’s about to greet the crowd – I mean, that’s what a f-cking movie star looks like. He reeks of old-world, old-school, old-Hollywood glamour, with a nod to the smarminess we now know about all of those old stars. He looks like he’s about to get someone pregnant, and he won’t even know her name.
Jude had a rough time last week – he filed an injuction to stop publication of his ex-wife Sadie Frost’s tell-all memoir, Crazy Days. It’s set to be published in the UK in October, and Sadie is thought to detail not only her marriage to Jude, but details of their relationship post-divorce, like stuff involving Sienna Miller and that nanny. My guess is that it will probably also detail all of those rumored drug-filled orgies with Kate Moss too (fun!). So Jude wants no part:
Their life has often resembled a kitchen-sink drama, but the relationship between Jude Law and Sadie Frost has reached a new low. For I can reveal the actor finally lost patience with his ex-wife over her plans to write her memoirs — and has begun court proceedings to halt her divulging the secrets of their turbulent marriage.
‘Jude is trying to injunct her to stop the book,’ I am told.
The memoir, which she is writing herself, is called Crazy Days. It is due to be published in October, and is said to be well advanced.
‘She’s poured her heart into this and is upset and hurt by what Jude has done,’ a friend of the actress-turned-designer tells me. ‘She thought they were getting on very well — and suddenly he’s serving a 100-page writ. It’s ironic, because he had been at her house earlier in the day and they discussed the book, which is going to be very honest. She knows he has reservations, but she’s let him read bits of it. She’s astonished he’s taken this step.’
It is understood Law, who is expected to marry actress Sienna Miller this summer, is concerned revelations about their turbulent marriage could upset the couple’s three children, Rafferty, 14, Iris, ten, and Rudy, eight. He also does not want pictures of the children, whose privacy he fiercely protects, appearing.
The book is expected to lift the lid on Sadie’s colourful life in North London, where she became queen bee of the louche, so-called ‘Primrose Hill posse’. It spans her childhood, acting career and entry into the fashion world — as well as her marriage and break-up with Law.
Friends of Sadie insist the book is about her story, not about her ex-husband’s, or that of close friends like Kate Moss.
Law, 37, and Frost, 44, wed in 1997 and divorced in 2003. The Alfie star then took up with Sienna, but they split up in 2005 after his affair with their nanny, Daisy Wright.
Sienna went out with actor Rhys Ifans and later with married father-of-four Balthazar Getty, while Sadie has enjoyed romances with a string of toyboys, including flamenco guitarist Jackson Scott.
Last night, Law’s solicitor, Mark Thomson of Atkins Thomson, said: ‘I can’t, at least I won’t, tell you anything about this.’

Poor Jude. He’s got lady drama all over the place, doesn’t he? He can’t help it – the ladies in his life will always be drama-filled, because that’s the way he likes it. I’m starting to think he thrives on it. But I do see his point about blocking Sadie’s memoir. If Jude was smart, he would have included a confidentiality agreement into their divorce settlement – basically, if Sadie pulled this sh-t, Jude wouldn’t give her any more money. I wonder if that’s what he is threatening behind the scenes?

Damn he’s so sexy.
Someone should explain to the “friend” the proper use of the word “ironic.”
Such narcissism. Like the world needs to know her “story.” The world will keep on going and all will still be a-ok.
he does nothing pour moi
That is one memoir I would definitely read!
Did he get plugs recently? I seem to remember a much higher hairline from the Sherlock Holmes days.
Someone ought to tell Jude: the kids can already know all the stuff he doesn’t want them to, from the internet and from the tabloids. They can discover that their daddy got some virtual stranger knocked up and gave them a half-sister they’ll never know. They can hardly have missed their nanny telling the tabloids how daddy fucked her on the pool table while his girlfriend was elsewhere. They can read the rumours of the orgies and the womanising already.
Whatever Sadie has to say, the kids have already heard it.
Jude does not want to have to explain three ways to his kids and who can blame him.
He’s too slimy-looking for my tastes. Gross.
Majosha, I find him slimy too. Hot, but slimy.
“Crazy Days” is kind of a lame title for a book… but that’s going to be one interesting book!!
Does England have freedom of speech?
Hey, douchebag. If you never do anything for which you are ashamed, then no one can shame you.
What a moron.
no sympathy for him. he made his bed over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
you go sadie, tell it all, the bad and the ugly!
She’s perfectly entitled to cash in but that’s all she’s doing, cashing in. I don’t blame Jude for finding it a bit hard to swallow.
I like the way she says I thought we were getting on and now he does this. It’s like saying “we were just talking and he suddenly punched me in the face” while omitting the fact she’d just grabbed his balls and twisted really really hard.
if the book is mostly about her and if what she says about him is true than he can only blame himself for whatever actions he’s trying to hide. he was a part of HER life for a time.
if you’re famous you have to expect that sometime during or after your lifetime your actions will be written about either by your wife or children – so try your best to be good!
What she’s doing is just to get attention to herself and that of course will involve intimate details of herself that will include other people. She has no shame if she wants her children to read about it now or in the future.
That said, he’s no saint and now he’s acting like one. Should’ve thought about that before doing all that crazy shit. Sooner or later it was going to come out. Hollywood people think that they are untouchable…
We already know half this stuff, so who needs it vomited back up? Sadie isn’t an angel herself, and she just needs to STFU, and get on with life.
Whenever I hear news about Jude Law/Sadie Frost I always end up feeling so sad for their kids. Ugh. Can you imagine having those two for parents? Let’s hope the kids have a good support system and lots of good friends–they’ll need them.
Sadie can’t bear the thought of her child getting her hair cut without Mummy’s explicit permission, but she doesn’t have any qualms about flashing the private life of the family out in print? This woman, her priorities…confuse me.
I hope she plans on painting herself as the swinger that she was/is as well. The Primrose Hill “posse” was known for one major thing… swapping and orgies.
Is there anything that his ex could say that could possibly lower my opinion of him further?
Hmmmmm, nope!
I have no problem with her writing a book. Celebrities do that kind of thing all the time. It’s not trashy at all. Instead of letting gossipers and celebrity bio writer hacks tell the story, why not say your peace?
Someone needs to tell Jude that it’s not slander if it’s all true!
Kaiser, I’m cranky and pissy today, so thank you for that first paragraph up there. You got me to 😀 , and for that, I wish you a hot and sweaty Gerard Butler and Clive Owen menage, even if it’s only in your head.
Don’t know what Jude is getting so stroppy about – poor old Gary Kemp doesn’t even seem to be deserving of a single paragraph! Spandau Ballet doesn’t sell books evidently 😆
If he’s so upset about Sadie writing a book about herself and her life, why is he dating the woman who trash-talked him to the world about him cheating on her? Stupid man.
Lost his looks.
I would definitely read it. She has a right to tell her story–everyone does if they so choose. And, I agree with “a.” If you are a public figure, expect to be talked about and behave accordingly, rather than trying to muzzle everyone b/c they have the goods on you. He should have thought ahead and had her sign an agreement if he wanted his privacy, like J. Lo did. Jude is no angel. His personality canceled out his looks long ago.
Mairead: lol!
Ohh Jude, he’s just so yummy. And yes I would read that book. 😆
If you don’t want anyone to shoot you, don’t give them the ammunition. It’s simple, really. And it speaks volumes about what he’s afraid will come out, as far as I’m concerned.
FYI Jude – the noble “Not in front of my children, please” act only works when you’ve lived your parental lifetime concerned about what said children may learn about you from others!
@ Sandy: ‘Does England have freedom of speech?’
No, unfortunately that’s a concept born and known only in the USA.
@ Mairead: How do you know? Did you read the finished book already?
Yuk, can’t stand either of these two, but I dislike him more so GO SADIE!
Why can’t he just wear a proper shirt, buttoned up? It’s always these girly scoop necks with hairy cleavage. Just dreadful.
So, jude is ok with having pictures taken of him, the kids and Sienna. He doesn’t seem to care that Sienna chopped his daughters hair. Doesn’t want the MOTHER of his kids to put pictures of HER kids in her book. If he wasn’t such a douche bag, he wouldn’t be so worried about people saying bad things about him. You go Sadie!! Write your book, make some money and kick your ex out the door.
