The 35-year-old British actor will headline the next Berlin Film Festival, along with fellow Hollywood heavyweights Kate Winslet, Steve Martin, and Clive Owen.

Jude’s black comedy, Rage (about a New York fashion house), will vie for the Golden Bear with a powerhouse cast including Judi Dench, Dianne Wiest and Steve Buscemi.

“We’re going to try to introduce something we haven’t seen before, authentic to the narrative,” director Guy Ritchie has said of his new flick. “We’re trying to make this film fresh. We should have some good fight sequences.”

He added, “My one concern was the accents but this is no longer the case. Robert Downey has the best English accent I’ve ever heard. Also Rachel McAdams is playing American (love interest Irene Adler), which is true to the books. Outside of that, Jude is obviously Brit. Robert was obviously going to be the big one, and we seem to have transcended that particular hurdle.”

Jude Law promotes Peace Day at the UNAMA office in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan (UNAMA = United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan).

The 35-year-old British actor, along with British filmmaker Jeremy Gilley, returned to Afghanistan after their successful mission last year. Once again, in conjunction with UNICEF and UNAMA, they made a ‘call to action’ 21 days before Peace Day, September 21st, an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, in order to galvanize the people of Afghanistan to observe the Day.

“The extraordinary events in Afghanistan around Peace Day last year set an important precedent. Jeremy and I are returning to the country this year to help keep the momentum going,” said Jude. “As an ambassador for Peace One Day and as a filmmaker myself, I hope that my involvement will help the project to grow. I’m proud to be part of it.”

He added, “When I left Kabul last year, I was hugely moved not by the conflict that I have read so much about, but by the people’s courage and the people’s sense of hope. It seemed that they really want to make this day, the Peace Day, work. And they did. People recognize the day, because they recognize that lives could be saved.”

It doesn’t take long to mend a broken heart!

Just one week after news broke than Mac guy Justin Long and Drew Barrymore split, rumors started swirling that Kirsten Dunst was “all over” Justin at NYC’s Bowery Hotel.

Well, now we have photographic proof that Kirsten, 26, and Justin, 30, have indeed been hanging out together. The pair hit up Silver Lake’s popular Sunset Junction street fair earlier this weekend.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Kirsten and Justin as a couple — YAY or NAY?

Jude Law chats on his cell phone and pays the parking meter while strolling through the streets of London on Thursday.

The 35-year-old British actor is reportedly dating rocker Rod Stewart’s daughter Kimberly, 28, after two were recently seen kissing in the VIP area of the 195 Nightclub in Essex.

An onlooker said: “We couldn’t believe it when we saw Kimberly Stewart kissing Jude Law. He’s the first big name we have ever seen in there. So my friends and myself walked over and asked if we could have our photo taken with them. But they said no, turned back to face each other again then carried on kissing.”

The source added: “Two bodyguards then came over to us and snatched the camera out of my friend’s hand because they had seen us taking pictures. They passed the camera to Jude, who then looked through our photos. The bodyguard later gave the camera back to us and, to our disappointment, they had deleted our pictures of Jude and Kimberly.”

Other pictures inside include Jude with director pal Jeremy Gilley and actor Christian Slater promoting the Peace One Day at the Olympia Theatre during the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week.

Jude Law expressed deep sorrow about the unfortunate death of director Anthony Minghella:

“I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear of Anthony’s untimely death. I worked with him on three films, more than with any other director, but had come to value him more as a friend than as a colleague. He was a brilliantly talented writer and director who wrote dialogue that was a joy to speak and then put it onto the screen in a way that always looked effortless. He made work feel like fun. He was a sweet, warm, bright and funny man who was interested in everything from football to opera, films, music, literature, people and most of all his family whom he adored and to whom I send my thoughts and love. I shall miss him hugely.”

Jude and Anthony worked together on 1999’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, 2003’s Cold Mountain and 2006’s Breaking and Entering.

Jude Law pays a visit to ex-wife Sadie Frost’s London home on Monday.

Terry Gilliam and the producers of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus just confirmed rumors today that Jude, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell will help complete the film following the sudden death of Heath Ledger on Jan. 22.

“Since the format of the story allows for the preservation of his entire performance, at no point will Heath’s work be modified or altered through the use of digital technology,” the producers said in a statement. “Each of the parts played by Johnny, Colin and Jude is representative of the many aspects of the character that Heath was playing.”

“I am grateful to Johnny, Colin and Jude for coming on board and to everyone else who has made it possible for us to finish the film,” added director Terry Gilliam. “I am delighted that Heath’s brilliant performance can be shared with the world. We are looking forward to finishing the movie and, through the film, with a modicum of humility, being able to touch people’s hearts and souls as Heath was able to do.”
