BURYING THE LEDE ON JUDE LAW'S ENGAGEMENT: The entertainment reports have glommed onto the tsunami coverage, and yet, with the news that Jude Law got engaged to his "Alfie" co-star Sienna Miller, the media missed the boat, so to speak. The spokeswoman's confirmation said that Jude Law "asked Sienna to marry him on Christmas Day. They spent Christmas together in England. They then headed to the Indian Ocean." That's right. The Indian Ocean. The day after Christmas, or Boxing Day, or as some people might remember it, the day the earth shook a 9.0 and triggered a tsunami in said Indian Ocean. Jude and Sienna went to the Seychelles, which was asking for millions of dollars in aid. So? What gives? Methinks there is more to this story.
