Robert Downey Jr. is currently in England shooting Sherlock Holmes 2 with Guy Ritchie and Jude Law, and last Saturday night, the trio decided to take in a good ol’ fashion’d donnybrook at UFC 120 at the O2 arena.  The co-main event was a fight between Brit Dan Hardy and American Carlos Condit.  It takes a lot of balls to root for your countrymen in hostile territory, and you know if it had been Gwyneth Paltrow, she’d have been cheering on the Brit between interviews about America’s arrogant foreign policy. But not Robert Downey Jr.   Here’s how it went down:

Forgetting or not caring that he’s there with a couple British guys and watching the fight on their turf, Downey jumps out of his seat cheering:

Fry pondering the age-old question, "Should I headbutt Nick Lachey*?"

I won’t sit here and pretend I’m one of those super-hip anglophiles that knows who Stephen Fry is (I assumed he was Glenn’s brother and rocked a double-neck guitar in an Eagles tribute band), but for those of you who are, hold onto your scarves, because that dude is playing Sherlock Holmes’ brother Mycroft in the sequel to the Robert Downey vehicle, Sherlock Holmes.  Fry broke the news recently as a guest on Danny Baker’s BBC 5 Live show, where he had this to say:

“I’m playing Mycroft in the sequel to the Sherlock Holmes film Guy Ritchie directed with Robert Downey Jr., and that sort of part is fun, but just once in a while to play a genuine all round sort of lead figure with complexity and tragedy and wit and all the sort of things that Oscar [Wilde] had was a once-in-a-lifeftime thrill.”

Weh-he-hell, nice to see you’re on a first-name-only basis with dead literary figures, your majesty.  “Just da ovva day Oy wiz ‘avin’ a nosh wiff me mate, Biw Shakespeah, an’ ‘e reckons oy should play da Professah in Da Fast and Da Furious paht six, ‘e does.”   Anyway, I still haven’t seen Sherlock Holmes yet so I’m sort of indifferent to this news, but I think as long as we’re making exxxtreme adaptations of English literature, we should consider changing the name to Sherlock, Holmes! (*double suck it thrust*).

*As noted, it’s David Boreanaz (bore-my-anus?), not Nick Lachey.  But tell me that dude doesn’t look like Nick Lachey from the side.

Jude Law, who recently received the coveted “Deepest V Award” from Oompa Loompa University, stars in this commercial for Dior Homme directed by famous film director Guy Ritchie.  If I’m not mistaken, “homme” is a French word for “homo.”  Anyway, the five-minute ad appears to concern Law’s character planning a rendezvous with his lady friend, and the bulk of it takes the concept of “whispering sweet nothings” (emphasis on the ‘nothing’) to a ridiculous degree.  Sample dialogue:

“You know who I am. I know who you are. You know where I’ve been. I know where you’ve been.  That’s all I’m gonna tell you.  You know what I can do.  And I know what you can do. You’re gonna regret saying that.  Scared? Is that right?  Of course you are.  What?  Two of ya?  We’ll see.  Ooh.  When I find you.. and I will find you… you’re gonna wish you’d never been caught.”

I just looked at the v-neck picture while I was reading that and I got reeeeeally horny. Also, I thought it was odd that he was in that hotel room with the hot naked lady, but then he made her put her clothes on and leave so they could go look at a giant phallic symbol.

Here’s Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law at the London premiere of Sherlock Holmes.   It’s a good visual illustration of why people love Robert Downey Jr. and hate Jude Law.  Dude, is that a silk polka dot scarf knotted around your neck?  David Carradine just got a boner in his grave.

The Guy Ritchie/Brad Pitt/Jason Statham classic Snatch comes out on Blu-Ray tomorrow, and in support of its release, they asked if I would sponsor a giveaway for wheel less caravan. Of course I told them, “WhattafuggIwantwiddacaravanat’sgotnofugginwheels?”

So instead I get to give away the Guy Ritchie Blu-ray three pack, which includes Snatch, Layer Cake, and Revolver.  I don’t really know what Layer Cake has to do with Guy Ritchie, but it is a kick-ass movie.  First person to send me a funny gypsy/pikey-related photo or photoshop gets it.
