    I would do so many naughty, filthy, dirty things to Robert Downey Jr. especially in that foxy suit.

    In reply to Downey Jr. Downplays Sherlock Holmes "Bromance," Breaks Jude's Heart
    Well I have to say he won my respect professionally when I saw him in Hamlet last month. His performance was truly great. (p.s. Saw Cate Blanchett in Liv Ulmann directed A Streetcar Named Desire at BAM last weekend and the play and all of the actors were brilliant and Cate's performance was the best piece of theatre I've ever witnessed. I literally sobbed during the final moments.

    I hate this transparency trend, whether it's lace with nothing on underneath or actually transparent fabric. Even when it's on a woman as lovely as Ms Lively here.

    However, I'm more of a "leave something to the imagination" type of girl and she most definitely is not, so taking that into consideration I do think her dress would be incredibly sassy and cute if it wasn't see-through. And I love that big green ring, it looks like jade which is my current gemstone obsession.

    @lisas: Agreed, although the more egregious error for me here is the leotard situation. Ms. Lively looks fierce, but I just don't think it's okay to drape a lace sarong around a damn leotard unless you're Lady Gaga. That's because the pantslessness on LG's part doesn't seem to be an attempt at tastemaking, but rather persona-creating. Blake's ensemble makes her look like she's trying too hard to be on the front end of something that shouldn't be a trend.

    Holmes and Watson are the original bromance pair (Holmes being the bitchy diva of the two).
    I'm very apprehensive about this movie, as I read and loved the original Holmes canon at an early age. I'm afraid they're trying to sex it up to appeal to modern sensibilities, and I think they may lose the sense of the original.

    Blake Lively continues her homage to Project Runway challenges of past. This week, she wears a black lace number to remind us that there are many ways to make a tasteless ice skating costume.

    Robert Downey Jr. is one of maybe 3 men on this planet that reduces me to a crush-laden teenager at the mere sight of his photo. I really have nothing intelligent to say here other than, "he's really handsome."

    Oh, and Rachel McAdams looks adorable, per usual. I that she never seems to succumb to the drag queen makeup and helmet hair so favored by her starlet peers.

    Also, dammit Blake Lively! Put some clothes on!

    This is why I cannot like Blake Lively. You don't go to these events and try to show up the actual people who are IN the movie.

    @Tchotchke: I also think its a short sighted career move. Being the young sexy article might get you attention now, but eventually someone else will come along and replace you. A good actor can get work as they age, but sexpots have a short career span.

    Also, the way Blake Lively is standing in front of that poster makes me feel like Jude Law is looking down at her and frowning in disapproval.
