Now that she has conquered the reality realm, is Kim Kardashian eyeing a jump to the big screen — as a Bond Girl?
Maybe, according to E! News. The star strutted her stuff on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and dished about her dreams of dazzling on the silver screen.
“I would love to be in a Bond film — a Bond Girl!” Kardashian gushed. “That would be the ultimate.”
So is she ready to leave her reality stardom behind?
“I love acting,” she said. “It’s challenging for me, and I love it.”
Kardashian is reportedly eyeing several new roles, so fans might get a chance to see the star out of her comfort area.
“There are a few offers on the table, but I definitely want to make the right decision for the right part,” she dished about her future thespian endeavors.
For the sake of Bond fans everywhere, lets hope this isn’t true.

Yet another celebrity couple bites the dust if TMZ are to be believed because they report that Rachel Weisz and her fiancé, Darren Aronofsky, have called it quits.
Like with most Hollywood break-ups it seems that there is a third person involved and it’s apparently none other than Daniel Craig, with who Rachel worked with on their upcoming movie Dream House. A rep for the couple confirmed the split saying…
“Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky have been separated for some months. They remain close friends and are committed to raising their son together in NYC.”
No word on whether or not it’s true that Rachel has been doing the dirty with Mr. James Bond hiimself, but he is in a relationship with girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell.
Damn, I’ve lost count of how many Hollywood couples have split up this year.

Kelly Osbourne is unleashing her inner Bond girl in a ‘Goldfinger’-inspired campaign that has her covered from head to toe in gold body paint.
Rocking platinum blonde locks and just a pair of bikini bottoms, the budding designer and 26-year-old starlet is virtually unrecognizable as she poses topless in the sexy ad shot by photographer Andi Southam.
Let’s just hope the gold-plated look isn’t toxic — film buffs may remember that the original look, rocked by character Jill Masterson in the 1964 007 film, suffocated the Bond babe. Oh, but what a good-looking corpse!
“Since my weight loss I’m a lot more body confident in front of the camera,” the recently de-inked star says in a release.
“It’s not just celebration for Sky+HD, but for me too.”
Missing from the shoot are Kelly’s tattoos, but Osbourne revealed that she’s looking to get rid of some of them permanently, including a keyboard on her arm and a heart and crossbones on her wrist. “I met with my dermatologist and I’ll start the laser treatment as soon as I have time,” Osbourne wrote.

Daniel Craig has been caught up in a gay scandal after he was apparently caught kissing another guy in a parking lot of a gay club on May 15.
An onlooker spoke to the National Enquirer, he was also took a polygraph test to prove he is telling the truth, and said that he seen the James Bond actor making out with an ubnknown guy in the parking lot of Roosterfish Bar in Venice Beach. He said…
“It was definitely Daniel Craig, and he was most certainly making out with a guy, Daniel kissed his friend on the lips. It was an open-mouth passionate French kiss. In fact, Daniel held the guy’s head in his hands and pulled him in for the kiss!”
He says that as soon as Daniel, who is engaged to producer Satsuki Mitchell, realized they were being watched by the onlooker he broke the kiss off immediately and pretended like it never happened.
Another guy in the club confirms that Daniel was in the club, he said…
“When Daniel and his friend walked in, they looked like any other upscale gay couple checking out the scene. He rubbed Daniel’s leg and shoulder while they talked, and Daniel didn’t seem to mind. At first, I thought Daniel may have come in with his gay friend to check out the live music. But when they started dancing together, I thought, ‘This is more than just two friends out for drinks.’”
I’m not really sure whether I believe this or not, I mean the guy could have believed he seen Daniel Craig in the club and that’s how he passed the polygraph test – even if Bond wasn’t there. But then again you never really know, it’s no secret that many actors in Hollywood are in the closet and have fake relationships to keep their secret. I don’t understand why the guy didn’t pull out his cellphone or camera and take a photo to prove his story.

Lady GaGa‘s music video for Telephone was basically one huge product placement and it seems that every reality show may as well just be ads with celebrities in them because the there is an insane amount of product placement in every single one of them. It’s not just music video and reality shows that are prone to having companies place hidden ads within them, Hollywood studios get a ton of money from product placement in their movies which leads me to this list of 10 movies that are the most obvious product placements:
Transformers: GM
When Michael Bay stepped in as director of ‘Transformers,’ he knew cars would play a huge part in the action-packed robot movie, so he shopped the vehicle placement around to car manufacturers looking for the highest bidder. GM emerged on top, offering $3 million. At one point in the flick, Bumblebee, the beloved little autobot, transforms into a sexy 2009 Camaro.
Transporter 2: Audi
Sometimes it seems action movies were created simply as extra-long commercials for fast cars. The second installment in Jason Statham’s ‘Transporter’ series certainly felt that way, as private chauffeur/ex-special forces agent Frank Martin transports dubious packages and people in his Audi A8 W12.
You’ve Got Mail: AOL
Didn’t think you could product place in a romantic comedy? You’re oh so wrong. Even this movie’s title was AOL-centric. It totally drove home a message to singles — if you don’t use AIM, you will indeed die alone … just like you’ve always feared.
Mission Impossible: Apple
Saving the world is easy when you’re using a Mac. If Ethan Hunt had been using a PC, well, the rogue assassins would have won.
Demolition Man: Taco Bell
In the American dystopia of 2032, Taco Bell remains the last fast food franchise standing after winning the “Franchise Wars.” This blatant product placement allows futuristic ball buster Sylvester Stallone to consume much needed chalupas on the go. Important side note, the “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” chihuahua was not cryogenically frozen and therefore did not advance to 2032. Sad.
Cast Away: FedEx
We’ve never been able to decide if this product placement was good or bad for the FedEx image. The FedEx plane did crash (not a good thing), but in the end Tom Hanks delivers the package (good thing). (fact: every time I watch this movie I swear off of airplanes omg)
Up In The Air: American Airlines
Jason Reitman’s much-lauded dramedy may never have been made had it not been for product placement and the various trades Reitman made with American Airlines to obtain filming locations in return for product infiltration.
Tropic Thunder: TiVo
Matthew McConaughey’s super agent Rick Peck will do anything for his client, Tugg Speedman, including hand delivering a TiVo into the Laotian jungle. Unfortunately, this hilarious placement hasn’t saved the TiVo from being cannibalized by cable company-provided DVRs.
E.T.: Reese’s Pieces
This one is product placement 101 and everyone’s favorite example of post-modern placement. When America fell in love with that adorable extra-terrestrial, we fell in love with those peanut butter filled chocolates, too. Sales for the candies shot up 65% the summer ‘E.T.’ was released.
Die Another Day: Omega, Samsonite, British Airways, Finalandia, Norelco, Revlon and Kodak
The Bond franchise has always been known for its powerful product placements. It’s Bond’s little secret that his entire life is sponsored by various consumer goods. MGM enlisted more than 20 marketing partners, who contributed more than $100 million in promotional support for this movie. Feel dirty? Sip some Finlandia vodka whilst applying some Revlon lipstick and you’ll feel much better.

It seems like every few weeks we get hot photos of Rosie Huntington-Whitely doing what she does best – posing naked, for the name of fashion of course, well here is the latest batch.
Here is Rosie posing naked for the latest issue of British GQ magazine, which goes on sale later this week. In other news it is now rumored that Rosie wants to be seen as one of the new Bond Girls in the next James Bond movie Bond 23.
Rosie says that she turned down an audition for the Harry Potter movie when her agent sent her the script, she says “I told them, ‘I kind of see myself less as the girl riding a broomstick and holding a wand and more as a girl emerging from an explosion, with a gun’.â€
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley would make a perfect Bond Girl, hopefully this rumor and the one that Rachel Weisz is to be in the next Bond movie both come through. Until then, enjoy the latest batch of nude photos.

There has been rumors going around about who will play the next bond-girl in the upcoming James Bond movie, Bond 23, but the latest casting rumor is Rachel Weisz.
Weisz has joked in the past about playing a bond-girl but the producers apparently know that she is too good an actress to just play a bond-girl so they are thinking of making her the head of the evil organization Quantum, which has been going on for the past two movies.
The last woman to play a villain in a Bond movie was Elektra King, played by Sophie Marceau, in The World is Not Enough but that was 11 years ago so it’s about time they had a hot woman play some evil character in my opinion.
What’s working in Weisz’s favor is that she is friends with Sam Mendes, who is set to direct Bond 23, and she is also friends with James Bond himself Daniel Craig. As for when the movie is going to go ahead, it is still unknown because MGM has yet to be sold off and all of their projects are pretty much on hold at the moment.
Do you think Rachel Weisz would be a good choice to star in the next James Bond movie?

Gemma Arterton is featured in the new issue of Britain’s edition of GQ Magazine and in it she is insisting that she wasn’t hot enough to have been a Bond girl.
As she poses in her lingerie and suspenders Arterton, who played Strawberry Fields in the 2008 Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, has been featured in tons of sexiest women lists since she played a Bond girl but she thinks she is just average looking.
She says, “In comparison to many actresses, I think I’m really average. When I got the Bond film there was a big hoo-ha about me not being hot enough. I have to say I agree. I don’t think I’m in that realm.”
She then compares herself to fellow Quantum Of Solace costar Olga Kurylenko by saying… “There are some really beautiful actresses, like Olga, who find it difficult. It’s frustrating for her but she’s so beautiful… you have to take that into consideration when you’re casting her. Whereas I can change my look.”
If Gemma Arterton only considered herself average then I would love to know what she thinks sexy is because that’s exactly what she is.

A lot of actors who get movie roles weren’t actually the first choices for the role, some original actors pass on the project because they don’t like it or they aren’t getting enough money or sometimes they just can’t schedule it in. Well here is 10 actors who have passed on some of the biggest roles of all time, some of the photos are manips of what they would be like in the role and some are just their normal boring face.
Will Smith – Neo, The Matrix
Will Smith passed on the role of Neo as did Ewan McGregor. Will Smith said, “You know, The Matrix is a difficult concept to pitch. In the pitch, I just didn’t see it. I watched Keanu’s performance – and very rarely do I say this – but I would have messed it up. I would have absolutely messed up The Matrix. At that point I wasn’t smart enough as an actor to let the movie be. Whereas Keanu was smart enough to just let it be. Let the movie and the director tell the story, and don’t try and perform every moment.†Will Smith went on to star in I, Robot.
W.C. Fields – Wizard, The Wizard of Oz
The part of the Wizard was written for W.C. Fields and it seems that it was perfect role, a traveling con man. He turned down the role for the most famous of reasons…money. He was only offered $75,000 by MGM but he wanted $100,000. Other sources say he turned it down to write You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man. The role went to Frank Morgan.
Cary Grant – James Bond
The producers of the James Bond films originally approached Cary Grant about playing the role of Britain’s 007 agent. Cary declined the role because he didn’t want to be tied to a film series. The role went to Sean Connery starting with Dr. No in 1962. Fleming wasn’t entirely happy with the choice. “He’s not exactly what I had in mind,†said Fleming.
Bette Davis – Scarlett O’Hara, Gone with the Wind
Bette Davis turned down the role of Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind. The role went to Vivien Leigh. Davis decided to pass on the role when she thought Errol Flynn would by playing the part of Rhett. She had refused to work with him earlier.
Sean Connery – Gandalf, Lord of the Ring Trilogy
Amazingly, Sean Connery turned down the role of Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy. His reason for passing on the role was due to the length of time for filming – 18 months. Sir Ian McKellan won the role and everyone couldn’t be happier. Mr. Connery said he had never read Tolkein and when he read the script he referred to the hobbits as bobbits.
Daryl Hannah – Vivian, Pretty Woman
Daryl Hannah turned down the role of the hooker, Vivian, because she felt it was demeaning to women. Strangely, she later appeared in Dancing at the Blue Iguana in the role of a stripper. Even more unbelievable, Molly Ringwald also passed on the role of Vivian. Vivian’s role was soon nabbed by Julia Roberts.
Kevin Costner – Bill, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2
Mr. Costner turned down the role of Bill in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2. He opted instead to direct Open Range in yet another poor career choice…cough, cough Water World.
John Cusack – John Bender, The Breakfast Club
I think John Cusack is one of the finest actors of my generation and I’m very disappointed that he didn’t get to be part of The Breakfast Club. Of course, he was a mainstay in the teenage angst movies of the 80s, so I’m happy. He was originally the actor chosen to play John Bender. Unfortunately he was unable to fit it into his schedule and Judd Nelson ended up in the role.
Bruce Willis – Sam Wheat, Ghost
Bruce Willis turned down the role of Sam Wheat in Ghost “because he didn’t think the plot would work and that playing a ghost would be detrimental to his careerâ€. Ironically, he played a ghost in The Sixth Sense and he would have played opposite his now ex-wife, Demi Moore.
Al Pacino – Han Solo, Star Wars
Al Pacino, Nick Nolte and Christopher Walken were all considered for the role of Han Solo. Even harder to imagine, supposedly Burt Reynolds turned down the role. Harrison Ford took the part and the rest is box office history.
I can safely say that I am glad none of these actors took on the roles, maybe they would actually be good and I am just used to the ones who actually did the project. But Sean Connery as Gandalf is a big no no for me.

But not this time, in fact I am very happy and pleased for Olga Kurylenko to be posing in a bikini for this photoshoot, look at the pictures and you will see why.

Freida Pinto has been tipped to be the next Bond girl in the up coming James Bond movie.
Apparently she first got Bond executives while they were casting for the latest movie, Quantum of Solace, but according to a source she was “too young at the time to have a part as a love interest for a secret agent. ”
The source added “but she has blossomed into an incredibly stunning young woman and would look perfect on Daniel Craig‘s arm”
Of course what that last statement means is that since Slumdog Millionaire became a huge success and cleaned up at all the awards shows, Freida’s hollywood star has also risen and Bond execs know it is in their best interest to get her.
On top of that , Slumdog director Danny Boyle is expected to direct the next Bond movie, her chances are a lot higher to grab the role.

Isn’t it funny how Hollywood works? They won’t look at you twice while you are trying to make it but then once you have one successful hit, your career shoots up and everyone wants a piece of you. This is whats happening to Freida Pinto, she is also expected to be in the new Woody Allen movie.

Olga Kurylenko is featured in the February 2009 issue of Maxim Ukraine and luckily for us, she isn’t afraid to show some skin.. well a lot of skin because she goes nude for the magazine, so skip to the end of this post and look for the NSFW pictures.
If you have no idea who Olga is, she was the hot chick in Max Payne and James Bond : Quantum of Solace, if you seen those movies I bet you remember her.
I have no news on Olga Kurylenko nor do I know anything that is in the Maxim article but honestly, does it really matter when you can just look at these pictures?

How much would you spend to be in with a chance to play James Bond? If you’re Diddy, you are willing to spend $750,000 in hopes to be the first black James Bond.
Diddy apparently flew by private jet to the South of France to film an audition tape, right beside the Casino Royale. In one of the scenes, Diddy is wearing a tuxedo and surrounded by his very own Bond girls … in a helicopter.
Speaking about the tape, he says “this is my audition tape for the next James Bond. There is a black President and it’s time for there to be a black Bond. God bless.”
He has already sent the tape to James Bond executives, but he apparently has competition from rapper Akon and Jamie Foxx who both want to be the new Bond once Daniel Craig leaves his role.

Diddy didn’t completely waste $750,000 on his James Bond audition though, he is also going to use the footage as part of the promotion for his new fragrance, I Am King.
It must be nice, but it sucks for upcoming actors who dreamed of being James Bond.

When she won the chance to play the latest Bond girl, Gemma Arterton didn’t have to worry too much about costume fittings.
The 22-year-old actress wears nothing more than a linen sheet as 007 actor Daniel Craig kisses her bare back in the forthcoming Quantum of Solace. The film also gives Craig’s female fans another chance to admire his muscular torso.
Miss Arterton plays gorgeous MI6 operative-Agent Fields less than a year after graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
The daughter of a welder and a cleaner from Gravesend in Kent, she has already had several movie roles including the head girl in the remake of St Trinian’s. Her latest character is said to be a tribute to the classic 1960s Bond girls.
Producers modeled her hair after Diana Rigg – who played the love interest in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
