Here are a few fun photos of Jude Law chatting animatedly on his cell phone here in NYC this weekend … tho, it’s impossible to tell who he was talking to. I suppose it’s possible he was talking with his new babymama whatever her name is or he could’ve been chattin’ with one of his homeboys, Robert Downey, Jr. or Guy Ritchie. Whoever he was talkin’ to, it looks like he was really engaged in the convo:

Jude will be spending a lot of time here in NYC for the next couple of months, he begins previews of Hamlet on Broadway this week. Lucky me, I’ll be seeing him in Hamlet on Wednesday night … perhaps he heard about the fact that I’m coming and he had to excitedly call of his friends?! Whatever the case may be … I know I’m excited to see him on stage!

Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams have been recalled to the London, England set of the Guy Ritchie directed film Sherlock Holmes. It’s not entirely clear why reshoots for the film have been ordered but it’s generally not a good sign when a director has to reshoot scenes for the film. At least one good thing comes from these reshoots … the resurrection of Jude Law’s infamous Jude’stache:

It was a sad, sad day last May when I was forced to Peace the Spork Out the Jude’stache … so it’s nice to see it alive and well and back in action. Sure this Jude’stache is a fake Jude’stache worn only for the reshoots but it looks so much like the real Jude’stache that I don’t think we have any cause for complaint. Again, it is worrisome that Sherlock Holmes requires some reshoots — after all, X-Men Origins: Wolverine had the same problem, ordered some reshoots and, well, the movie still sucked. One hopes that these reshoots for Sherlock will make the film better and not worse. It is nice to see the gang in full costume again, if for only a short while. It wasn’t until I saw these new photos that I realized how much I missed the Jude’stache.

Something may be rotten in the state of Denmark but no so in the State of New York … this weekend, promo signage went up at the Broadhurst Theater on the Great White Way to announce the arrival of the West End production of the William Shakespeare play Hamlet starring Jude Law:

The production’s official website, HamletBroadway.com, is now online and tickets for the limited run are currently on sale. It turns out that I will be in NYC when the show is in previews so I managed to snag a ticket for the performance on September 16. Last year, David and I were lucky enough to attend a performance of Shakespeare’s MacBeth at the Lyceum Theater and I loved every second of it. As a huge Shakespeare fan, I’m always curious to see how new productions of the Bard’s timeless plays get adapted. I’ve been dying to see Jude as Hamlet and next month I’ll finally get my chance. As you may recall, Jude got himself into a bit of trubs the last time he spent any considerable time in NYC when he got Samantha Burke pregs with his lovechild while he was filming Sherlock Holmes there. One hopes Jude will be better equipped to keep himself in control so that he doesn’t get mixed up in any future unplanned pregnancies. Lovebabies or not, I am SO excited to see Jude in action on stage! Woot!!

Last week we learned the SHOCKING news that one of Jude Law’s sexual trysts resulted in an unplanned pregnancy and altho we were left stymied for a whole day wondering who the lucky girl impregnated with Jude’s seed was, we learned very quickly that her name is Samantha Burke … particularly because her lawyer released a statement to the media making sure everyone knew who she was. Since that time, Burke has released a statement to People magazine announcing the name of her unborn baby and then called a press conference to clear up any misconceptions about her relationship with Jude Law, her babydaddy.. Uh huh. Here are pics of Jude’s new babymama at her press conference and along with news of her baby name and her plea for privacy:

After Jude Law announced that he was going to become a father for the fourth time on Wednesday, now lawyers for mom-to-be Samantha Burke reveal in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE that they’ll be having a little girl named Sophia.

The lawyers for Burke, a 24-year-old aspiring actress from Pensacola, Fla., who had a brief relationship with the actor when he was filming Sherlock Holmes in New York City last year, also confirm that she wouldn’t be granting any interviews despite numerous requests. “This remains a private matter between Jude Law and Samantha Burke,” the statement reads.

HMMM … yes … but while she was not granting interviews, the press conferences have been comin’ hot and heavy:

The mother of Jude Law’s fourth child has slammed reports the actor has shunned all contact with her – insisting quotes attributed to her mum were “taken out of context”. Samantha Burke is seven months pregnant with a baby girl after dating the Brit star when he was shooting Sherlock Holmes in New York earlier this year (09). New reports allege Law has refused contact with Burke since finding out she was expecting his baby, with Burke’s mother reportedly going on the record to voice her concerns. Lea Burke was quoted as saying, “Samantha has no idea what is going on. She is very stressed out and upset. This was never planned and Jude didn’t want the baby. It was a total accident. This was no way planned. Hell, no. She was in shock when she found out she was pregnant and terrified to tell him. It would be nice if the father was around but that’s not going to happen because of his job and Samantha knows that. Samantha is staying positive and hoping Jude will get in touch. She really wanted to get hold of him, but he hasn’t called once.” Burke was so infuriated by the reports, she appeared in public on Friday (31Jul09) for the first time since news of her pregnancy broke, admitting: “It’s a hard time.” She stood alongside her spokesperson outside her home to confirm Law is “committed to the health and wellbeing of this child”. The 24 year old’s spokesperson says, “Samantha and her mother would like to be clear that comments attributed to her mother and media stories reported in the last 24 hours regarding Jude’s contact with Samantha and his involvement were taken out of context. Samantha, her mom and her family can confirm Jude has been responsive and supportive through the relationship and pregnancy and know that he will remain so as a father once baby Sophia is born. Jude and Samantha remain commited to the health and wellbeing of this child and appreciate your honouring her privacy during this special time.”

Ahhhh … I see … so what she really wants is privacy. Got it. Oh man, Jude is going to have a lot of fun with this chick bringing forth his baby into the world. And the fun is just beginning. At least Jude will have two boys and two girls … a practically perfect family!

As you may recall, on Thursday we learned that Jude Law is going to be the father of his 4th child after he inadvertently got a young actress/model pregs after he enjoyed a fling with her in NYC early this year while he was filming Sherlock Holmes in NYC. On Friday we learned that Jude’s babymama is a Florida woman named Samantha Burke and, apparently, she had to go thru Jude’s publicist to inform him of the happy news of their unplanned baby (we learned this, of course, after Burke’s legal representative reached to to TMZ to ensure that news of her identity was disseminated to the Internets appropriately). Last night, Jude Law greeted his fans in London after he emerged from the West End theater where he is currently starring in a production of Hamlet … and he was lookin’ decidedly more sweaty than usual:

Could it be that news of his new baby is givin’ him the sweats? Could be … after all, the woman he is now saddled with sounds like she was lookin’ to get as close to Jude as possible, being the big fan that she is. If you consider how quickly she jumped on the media bandwagon to ENSURE that everyone learn her identity as Jude’s babymama … well, I’d say Mr. Law has quite the cause to sweat:

The news that a 24-year-old model and aspiring actress from Florida is seven months pregnant by actor Jude Law came as a bolt out of the blue. Samantha Burke, who is due to give birth in October, will soon be the mother of the British star’s fourth child. She had a brief fling with Jude last Christmas during the filming of the new Guy Ritchie movie, Sherlock Holmes. Her lawyers have confirmed that the 36-year-old actor, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost, is the father of the model’s unborn baby. In a statement, Jude has pledged to ‘fully support’ his new offspring however the actress’s family are said to be horrified, and have instructed their lawyer to prepare an action to ensure mother and baby are looked after financially for the rest of their lives. But the actor is also frightened that intimate photos taken by Miss Burke will leak out. Jude is said to be ‘ashed with anxiety’ over the photos which keen amateur photographer Miss Burke took during their time together in New York. He is worried they will embarrass Sadie and their three children. A source told The Sun: ‘Samantha was totally smitten with Jude and enjoyed photographing him hugely. It was a passionate fling and there was a real animal attraction. ‘He’s been ashen with anxiety, especially because he’s putting his loved ones through more stress.’ … The woman in question fits his usual type. [Samantha Burke] is a young wannabe model and actress … The pair had a short fling when Jude and two of his children were living in New York during the filming of Sherlock Holmes last December. The 24-year-old brunette is due to give birth to a baby girl, whom she plans to name Sophia, on October 6, which coincidentally is also the birthday of Jude’s oldest son Rafferty. There is already a registered gift list at infant retail emporium Babies R Us. Samantha has a profile on their website which says she is planning to decorate the nursery in ’safari dècor’ with a ’splash of deep red’ … A source in the U.S. told media that Samantha, who has had to move back home to Pensacola, Florida, struggled to get in touch with her former lover. ‘Samantha was trying to reach Jude to tell him she was having his child, but she couldn’t get hold of him,’ a source said. ‘He had given her a mobile phone number, but it was no longer working and Jude was working on a film. Finally she contacted Jude through his publicist. She had to go through his PR person to inform him she was pregnant with his child.’ But earlier this year, Miss Burke gushed about her pregnancy to a friend on the website Model Mayhem. ‘My tummy is growing!’ she wrote excitedly on the friend’s profile page. ‘October is when I am due, so maybe you’ll get to meet the little girly.’

What a mess … but, you reap what you sow. It’s unfortunate that things like this tend to happen but … they do happen. This is why it’s very important to practice safe sex, y’all. I’m still of the mind that it was the Jude’stache that got Jude in trubs with this girl. You can’t just go around rockin’ a sexy porn’stache and not expect to get into some sort of trouble. My guess is that Ms. Burke will be flaunting this baby bump all over the place. This surely is not the last we’ve heard from her.

Leave it to TMZ to sniff out the “secret” babymama of Jude Law’s unplanned 4th child … next to Maury Povich, they’re the best source for finding out those nasty celeb paternity secrets that some folks would like to keep hidden. Early Thursday we learned that Jude Law released a statement confirming that he is going to be the father of a 4th child with a then-unnamed woman. Speculation ran rampant that the woman was Rachel McAdams’s sister Kayleen, since Jude and she fraternized together while he filmed Sherlock Holmes in NYC last year — but McAdams denied that she is the babymama. Subsequently, TMZ figured out that Jude’s real babymama is an “actress/model” named Samantha Burke … who, in turn, confirmed to TMZ that she is the lucky lady:

This is the mystery woman pregnant with Jude Law’s baby #4. We’ve learned her name is Samantha Burke, an actress and model. Our sources say DNA tests make it a slam dunk — Jude’s the daddy. The actor’s rep has confirmed the 36-year-old actor is expecting a fourth child with an ex-lover. Law has three children with his ex-wife, Sadie Frost. According to her online registry at Babies “R” Us, Burke’s due date is October 6th… It says she’s expecting a girl she will name Sophia. Burke’s attorneys just sent us the following statement:

“Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy.”

Oh Jude, you cad you. Well, it looks like the mystery has been solved and Kayleen McAdams is off the hook. I’m not sure how successful Ms. Burke’s “actress/model” career has been thus far but it looks like she finally hit the fame jackpot nonetheless. Congratulations to the happy couple, I’m sure you’re both very proud right now!

I’ve got good news for Jude Law and some bad news for Jude Law. The good news is that he is going to be a father again!! The bad news is that the child was borne from a random fling with some chick last year and now he’s gonna be a babydaddy. I mean, it’s easy to see how Jude Law can get as much lurvin’ as he likes, what with all the sexiness and all, but DUDE! … wrap it up when you’re hookin’ up, yo! Move over Iris, Rudy and Rafferty … there’s a new Law baby on the way:

Jude Law’s spokesperson has released the following statement …

Law, 36, is currently single and has three children with his former wife, Sadie Frost. He will appear on Broadway in Hamlet, which opens in October, and will star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the movie Sherlock Holmes, opening Dec. 25.

Oh, Jude … Jude, Jude, Jude … I don’t think this is going to help your persona as a player, my friend. I love how the spin is that he was in “a relationship” last year. LOL! I don’t recall any relationship … so you just know it was a fling. My guess is that Jude’s Jude’stache is what got him into trubs … with that sexy piece of facial hair luring in the ladies, well … I guess something like this is to be expected. Congrats on the new baby, Jude! You better take care of it, ya hear?

UPDATE: I’m hearing from a Pink reader that the rumor is that Jude Law knocked up Rachel McAdams’s sister Kayleen and Rachel was the one that pressured Jude into publicly admitting he fathered the child. I’m inclined to believe this bit of goss considering Jude could’ve met and hooked up with sister McAdams while filming Sherlock Holmes last year (Jude and Rachel co-star in the film). It doesn’t make sense that Jude would issue a public statement admitting that he fathered a lovechild unless he was pressured to do so by someone … HMMMMMM. Of course, we don’t know if any of this is true but it does make a helluva lotta sense. I suppose if Jude Law really did father a lovechild with Kayleen McAdams then that bit of goss cannot stay quiet for long. Juicy.
