Christmas Movie Reviews: “Sherlock Holmes” and “Dr. Parnassus” Both Disappoint (but in Different Ways!)
18 hours ago

Two new movies open today: Sherlock Holmes (in wide release) and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (in Los Angeles and New York), the film Heath Ledger was working on when he died.
Let’s look at each in turn:
Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson
Sherlock Holmes
Let’s get one thing clear from the start: there is nothing gay about the new movie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.
Earlier this year, star Robert Downey Jr. made headlines when he was quoted as saying the movie was about "two men who happen to be roommates, wrestle a lot and share a bed. It's bad-ass."
Cue the predictable conservative outrage from film critic Michael Medved and the idiots on talk radio.
But now that the movie is opening, other critics are chiming in on that meme, seeing some sort of gay subtext between Holmes (Downey Jr.

With It's Complicated opening on Christmas Day, Alec Baldwin stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman last night and even had Dave cracking up. The conversation about his butt double "dining out all around New York" was just one of many highlights.
Here's a clip of Baldwin talking about meeting Burt Lancaster in an elevator:

Robert Downey Jr.'s allegedly gay 'Sherlock Holmes.' Seriously?!

Monday night on "The Late Show With David Letterman," Robert Downey Jr. stopped by to promote Sherlock Holmes, in theaters on Friday, and bantered with Dave about the possibility that Arthur Conan Doyle’s great detective and his long-suffering sidekick Dr. Watson were more than just mates. The banter went as follows:
Letterman: "Now, from what I recall, there was always the suggestion that there was a different level of relationship between Sherlock and Dr. Watson."
Downey: "You mean that they were homos..."
Letterman: [Laughs.] "Well..."
Downey: "That is what you're saying?"
Letterman: "In a manner of speaking, yes...that they

The shocking, perplexing death of Brittany Murphy, 32, is a blow to a number of camps: '90s diehards, fans of the creepy Don't Say a Word, and even defenders of late-night talk shows. Murphy's appearances on The Late Show and The Late Late Show evince a candid actress who truly didn't take herself very seriously. She was cool, in fact. While the events leading up to Murphy's death remain cloudy, we honor her memory by revisiting her funny, even disarming TV appearances.

Jude Law Misanswers How Many Kids He Has - Innocent Slipup or Serious Offense?

Jude Law hit The Late Show last night to talk about Sherlock Holmes. He's in the middle of a press blitz to promote the film, which included premieres in both London and NYC. As if his schedule wasn't busy enough, he's also spending his free time romancing Sienna Miller with Central Park carriage rides. So he was understandably a little tired during his chat with Dave, which included Jude making the misstatement that he has three kids. He welcomed his fourth, daughter Sophia, earlier this year to a slight scandal, and apparently still hasn't met her. It was either a fatigued oversight or an unkind statement, so tell us what you think - was Jude's saying he has three kids an innocent slipup or a serious offense?

I'm not sure if this is up there with "Jingle Bells" and "White Christmas," but last night Martin Short entertained viewers of The Late Show with the song "Don't Commit Suicide on the Holidays." He even gives a little wink and nod to Dave about what he went through this year.

Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed a look at her 5-month-old twin daughters. At "Late Show with David Letterman" on December 15, the Carrie Bradshaw of "Sex and the City" showed off the picture of Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge who are both curiously looking at the camera.
During the show, the 44-year-old actress said that she personally believes they are two completely different babies. "They are physically, intellectually spiritually, geographically, politically, ideologically and religiously as different as two small 6-month olds could be," she gushed.
As for her 7-year-old son James Wilkie, Sarah claimed that he has been a good brother for his little sisters. Unlike some other kids who might get jealous for getting less affection from their parents, she said James is doing well with his new role. "He's been very hospitable and he's amused by them occasionally," she stated.
Beside talking about her children, the wife of

Does David Letterman have something against Santa? Or Kris Allen?

About three hours ago, American Idol cutie patootie Kris Allen tweeted that he would be performing with a "special guest" on tonight's episode of The Late Show with David Letterman. As you see here, said special guest was going to be Santa Claus playing the drums, but apparently the folks at The Late Show are in cahoots with the Grinch and nixed Kris Kringle pulling off his best Ringo. EW is waiting for clarification from the show's producers, so if we do hear why Letterman and co. have declared war on Christmas cheer, you all will be the first to know.

A womb is just about all twins Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, 5 ½ months, have ever had in common, according to mom Sarah Jessica Parker.
The 44-year-old actress proclaimed the girls “about as un-identical as twins can be” during a Tuesday visit to the Late Show with David Letterman, citing their differences “physically, intellectually, spiritually, geographically, politically, ideologically and religiously.” Sarah Jessica went on to joke,
“One of them is a Republican, which is weird. But we have Mets and Yankees fans in our house too, so we’re used to a divided house.”

Prosecutors: 'Letterman's Alleged Blackmailer Made Intent Clear'

| See recent WENN news
»
David Letterman's alleged extortionist made his intentions to ruin the U.S. talk show host's career and personal life "crystal clear" when he approached the star about his sexual exploits, prosecutors have argued.
TV producer Robert Halderman was charged with attempted first degree grand larceny in October after reportedly threatening to expose The Late Show presenter's affairs with employees unless Letterman paid $2 million (£1.25 million) to silence him."
Halderman, who was immediately suspended from his job as producer of CBS news show 48 Hours, claims he was simply selling the star a "screenplay proposal relating to Letterman's poor conduct".
But, in legal papers filed by New York prosecutors in a state court on Tuesday, Assistant District Attorneys Judy Salwen and Peirce Moser argue: "Defendant Halderman's threat was simple: Unless Mr. Letterman paid him two million dollars, defendant Halderman would make public information about a purported personal, sexual relationship between Mr. Letterman and his assistant."
The court documents also detailed Halderman's claims that he feared someone would try to harm him for trying to sell the story of Letterman's office affairs.
In secret recordings taped by police, Halderman said, "Should I be fired mysteriously... if my house burns down... any number of things... I have no idea... what he is capable of, someone might decide the only way to be sure I never talk to anybody is for somebody to kill me."
The case continues.
Halderman faces up to 15 years in prison if he is convicted of the grand larceny charge.

Regis Philbin is recovering nicely from hip surgery-- and he's doing so well, he found time to phone in to tonight's "Late Show with David Letterman."
Philbin helped Dave present the nightly Top Ten List, which this evening focuses on the "Top Ten Ways Regis Is Passing the Time While Recovering From Hip Surgery."
No. 8? “Watching movies on Lifetime and crying my eyes out," Philbin says.

Unnamed insiders tell the site to have witnessed the baseball player partying in Miami, while Kate was in New York promoting her new movie "Nine".

"He was acting Very single, and Kate Hudson was definitely not there," says the source. Another insider, meanwhile, confirms that Alex was with other women in Miami, adding "Kate and A-Rod broke up."

Kate Hudson was wrapped up in another item from her cozy coat collection on Friday as she headed out to run errands with her son Ryder in NYC. They're home on the East Coast ahead of her big Nine premiere tomorrow, after Kate had to miss out on the La screening due to some press obligations like an appearance on The Late Show. She had to be in great shape to perform the dance routines required by her character in the film, but Kate isn't letting all her hard work go to waste - she spent yesterday afternoon working up a sweat at her gym in SoHo, shaking her thing in front of a big window for all to see. Her star-studded movie is already doing well this award season - it tied with Inglourious Basterds for a record-setting 10 nods each from the Critics' Choice Awards, and we'll see what

Kate Hudson was one of the girls of summer, joining Yankees wives to cheer the team — and boyfriend Alex Rodriguez — on to the World Championship, and what did she get out of it: a reputation for being “needy,” she complains. Hudson’s doing the talk show circuit to promote her new film “Nine,” directed by Rob Marshall. She reluctantly dishing on the hot third baseman. She appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman Thursday night (Dec. 10) and was pestered by the talk-show host’s nosey questions about her relationship. She stars in "Nine" with Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz and Nicole Kidman.

Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez's steamy romance is hardly a secret. Aside from countless very-public dates and outings, she spent the summer attending - and being endlessly photographed - at his Yankees games, both in New York and on the road.
But during Thursday's Late Show with David Letterman, the Nine star, 30, didn't give in to the talk-show host's nosey questions about her relationship with Rodriguez.
When Letterman opened up the questioning with, "You're a big Yankees fan, and you're friends with Alex Rodriguez," Hudson giggled sheepishly and said, "Yeah, he's a friend of mine. Nice guy."
