  • Yesterday James Bond got a bad guy, and now there’s a leading lady—willowy French thing Eva Green, most notable for flashing her little bonbons in Bertolucci’s The Dreamers. I don’t know much about her, but she seems like a French Penélope Cruz, which J-Unit wil LOVE. [BBC]
  • In a riveting, tell-all interview with People magazine, Britney Spears compares herself to Princess Diana, says “nothing’s been wow to me” in the music scene, and protests, “I sound bitter. I’m not bitter.” Yeah, actually the words that spring to mind are “inane,” “trashy,” and “self-absorbed.” [CNN]
  • And the newest entry in the Celebrity Sex Tapes series is a horror-inducing “buddy effort” by Kid Rock and Scott Stapp. For those who wish to lose their eyesight or sanity forever, Defamer has a link to the video. [Defamer]

    Wow, she looks like a good choice. Have no idea what her acting’s like but that’s never been a huge requirement for a Bond girl. Too bad (if the curse of the Bond girl continues) odds are we’ll never see her again after this movie!

    Right, Buzzy42! Cause I never hear the names Jane Seymour, Teri Hatcher, Famke Jansen, Michelle Yeoh, Denise Richards, Halle Berry ever…That’s a mighty powerful curse you’re talking about!

    Terri hatcher wasnt a bond girl, she was like a third stringer that was killed off in 5 minutes.

    #6, Jane Seymour was a bond girl when it actually meant something. Most of the more recent ones have been already well-known actresses, and I’d reckon that Denise Richards’s career is pretty much exactly cursed.

    But seriously, who gives a rat’s ass about bond girls anymore.

    Out of 20 movies, when Teri Hatcher, Michelle Yeoh, Denise Richards, and Halle Berry already had established careers, that isn’t a great track record.

    I don’t think Eva Green fits in the same category. What I meant is this isn’t a “career-defining” role that you would think it would be from the hype it always gets. And many times, obscurity is the next step after a brief flirt with fame.
