Especially when compared to his respectable, but ever-so-slightly receding hairline in Alfie. And after being photographed in London recently sporting the beginnings of a George Costanza 'do, our suspicions that his character's curls in MBN were extensions for boys: "

[Jude] is reported to be so worried about his receding hairline that he has consulted a Harley Street expert, in a bid to save his locks."

According to the Daily Mail, even his ex-wife Sadie Frost is on board the Save Jude's Hair train. She's said to be "encouraging him to seek advice from experts in Chinese medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture." How exactly a Chinese healer will go about growing strands up there is beyond us, but we do have to applaud Law for prancing about with such a strange hairline in public. We can only hope he doesn't pull a complete Costanza and buy one of those Trump-like flyaway tops. We'd have to make like Elaine and track him down, rip it off his gorgeous head, and throw it out the nearest window.

But that's not enough for the fanboy offensive, who lashed out in protest yet again this morning:

This is clearly a vain attempt by the Weinstein Company to avert Star Wars fans' impending boycott of all of their films. Well, guess what? It's not going to work, Darth Weinstein!
There was never any doubt that you would release both versions of the movie on DVD — probably months apart, so as to leech as much money from Star Wars fans as possible! ...

There is only ONE VERSION OF FANBOYS - THE ONE THAT WAS MADE BY STAR WARS FANS! ... If you release your mutilated anti-fan version of FANBOYS in ANY FORM, you can look forward to a lifetime boycott of your studio by every Star Wars fan on the planet.

As such, the Fanboys supporters are sticking to their picket plans for this weekend, with sizable protests scheduled in both New York and Los Angeles. Knowing what we know about Harvey, though, we expect this to be all the compromise these guys are going to get. Moreover, where the hell are all the Wong Kar-wai fans to protest Harvey's cut of the long-delayed Norah Jones / Jude Law / Natalie Portman road flick My Blueberry Nights, finally opening April 4 with an ugly, sludgy sheen added in edit bays sequestered deep inside the Weinstein Death Star. Even Roosevelt and Stalin had the common sense to ally against the Axis 65 years ago; with art-house romantics and and sci-fi geeks on the same page, we're confident Harvey Scissorhands wouldn't have a prayer.
