Jude Law Handles Case of Robert Downey Jr.'s Firecrotch
News of an incendiary incident on the set of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. Some ash that fell from Downey's pipe apparently ignited his trousers:
A source said: "Robert leaped from his armchair and jumped up and down, slapping his crotch and howling, 'Oh God, I'm on fire!' Robert had placed the pipe on a plate on the arm of the chair, but it overbalanced and plopped into his lap, scattering lit tobacco all over his pants.' Luckily, Robert's co-star Jude Law - who plays Holmes' sidekick Dr. Watson in the movie - was on hand to extinguish the flames and save the star from singeing his privates. The source added: 'While Robert was screaming and swatting his pants, quick-thinking Jude saved the day by flinging water from a flower vase at Robert's naughty area.' Robert emerged unscathed from the incident, but production was halted while the wardrobe department found him a new pair of trousers to wear."
Law's looking quite good as Watson, don't you think?

I love Robert Downey, Jr. but he's turning into Mickey Rourke for some reason. Scary...

I'd be willing to bet that's not the first time the contents of a lit pipe have fallen onto Robert Downey Jr.'s crotch.

Jude can fling water from his flower vase onto my flaming naughty area anytime.
(Well, maybe not--but it had to be said.)
