Hot Daniel Craig Brings His Best James Bond to the Set of Skyfall

Lauren Turner — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:21:51 PST

Daniel Craig got serious in a gray suit on the London set of the new James Bond movie today. He's filming Skyfall after wrapping up a worldwide press tour for the thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Daniel and his leading lady Rooney Mara traveled to Berlin, Paris, and more spots around the globe promoting the project. Rooney's style was the star of many photo ops, but heads also turned when Daniel's wife Rachel Weisz joined them on the red carpet in Madrid. It was the couple's first public appearance since tying the knot last Summer. Rachel recently made headlines when her L'Oréal ad was banned in the UK for being "misleading." Attention will be back to Rooney later this month though, when she hits the red carpet at the Oscars, where she's nominated for best actress.

The Best of the Bond Girls

Tara Sharp — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:30:00 PDT

Say hello to the newest woman to join the ranks of iconic Bond babes! It's been confirmed that French actress Bérénice Marlohe will be the Bond girl in Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond flick.

Earlier this year the very first Bond girl, Linda Christian, passed away at 87. She played Valerie Mathis in the 1954 TV adaptation of Casino Royale before James Bond films hit the big screen. There have been countless Bond girls over the years, from Pussy Galore to Mary Goodnight to Strawberry Fields, and the most iconic 007 femme fatale would probably be bikini-clad Ursula Andress, who played Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in 1962. See the bodacious ladies who've wielded guns, showed off their assets, and bedded Bond for the last 50-plus years!

Sizzling Spanish actor Javier Bardem has been confirmed as the villain in Bond 23, the next James Bond film. He'll join the ranks of the franchise's hot Bonds and Bond girls, but he also has some company in the sexy Bond bad guy arena. Sure they're evil and sometimes scarred, but we're strangely attracted to them anyway. Maybe it's the sexy suits, foreign accents, and big guns? Let's look back at the hot Bond bad boys now, and share your favorite evil movie villain in the comments!

Shaken, Not Stirred: James Bond-Style Scents

Jaime Richards — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 12:26:32 PDT

Over the years, there have been several James Bond-inspired colognes and perfumes on the market. And although some are out of production, come 2012, a Bond-inspired cologne is launching to coincide with the release of the 23rd film in the series (it also happens to be the 50th anniversary of first movie's debut). No word on what the juice will smell like or its name, but until then, take a peek at a few Bond-like scents, such as:

A.B.R. Barlach's James Bond perfume ($23) - An oriental fragrance that has notes of citrus, sensuous flowers, vanilla, and musk.
Floris London's No 89 eau de toilette ($95) - This scent - which has notes of citrus, sandalwood, rose, orris, and oakmoss - is said to have been worn by James Bond in author Ian Fleming's novels.
Demeter Fragrance Library's Martini ($6 to $30) - OK, so it's not exactly a Bond scent, but we all know how much the spy himself loves the potent, classic cocktail.
Geo F. Trumper's Eucris ($65) - While also not a fragrance inspired specifically by the Bond books and flicks, this sophisticated, sensuous eau de toilette is also apparently a Bond favorite. Includes notes of musk, moss, sandalwood, jasmine, muguet, cumin, and coriander.
Avon's Bond Girl 007 Forever ($14) - A sexy cocktail of citrus fruits, florals, and smoky woods.

Is Javier Bardem James Bond's Newest Nemesis?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:30:35 PST

Javier Bardem rose to superstardom thanks to his bone-chilling role in No Country For Old Men, and now the Oscar winner may be taking on another bad boy. Bardem has been reportedly offered a role in the newest James Bond film opposite Daniel Craig. The studio is keeping mum on details of the part, but considering that the role of hero is already taken, Bardem will likely be playing a villain.

Sam Mendes in Talks to Direct Bond 23, Production Moved Up

BuzzSugar — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:30:00 PST

Ride the Bond 23 roller coaster right here, folks: after reports that the latest installment in the James Bond franchise had been stalled due to MGM's financial concerns, it appears that the opposite is happening: Bond 23 (its current moniker until the real title is adopted) is being fast-tracked to begin production this Summer. What's even more exciting is that Sam Mendes is in negotiations to direct.

I'm a big Mendes fan and am curious to see how he'd tackle a big-budget action flick, especially one as high profile as a James Bond movie. As for details on the movie itself, there's not too much (no Bond girl cast yet), but one interesting tidbit - 23 is partly set in New York. What are your thoughts on Mendes directing - or Bond 23 in general?

James Bond: Interior Style Throughout the Years

CasaSugar — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:00:48 PDT

The James Bond films have been running for over 40 years. Not only do they feature buxom babes and a suave hero, there's also a lot of eye candy in the interior design department. Take a look at some of the interiors from 1962 through current day, as well as some of the products that have made their mark in these films.

Study Proves That Bond Loves His Dark-Haired Ladies

BellaSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:00:19 PDT

Are you a gun-toting, long- and dark-haired lady with a penchant for danger? Then James Bond will love you. I'm still getting over the fact that there was an actual Pussy Galore character in one of the flicks in the Bond franchise. I'm also getting over the fact that researchers from Cleveland State University took the time to delve deeper into the female characteristics preferred by everyone's favorite British spy. A recent study published in the journal Sex Roles proved that of the 195 women in Bond's first 20 films, 40 percent had black hair, 19 percent were brunettes, nine percent were redheads, and 27 percent were blondes.

Their average age was 26, and not surprisingly, he was more likely to sleep with the slimmer, younger, and better-looking women of the bunch. Also, while 007 seemed to end up in sexual liaisons with the longer-haired women, the study concluded that their hair has actually gotten shorter over time. Looking to get a snapshot of the Bond's ideal lady and his chauvinistic ways? The researchers recommend checking out Lois Chiles as Dr. Holly Goodhead (groan) in Moonraker or Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole (ugh) in Diamonds Are Forever.

Who's Your Favorite: James Bond or Jason Bourne?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:30:59 PST

It's the ultimate showdown (of today): Jason Bourne vs. James Bond! Which character do you prefer? Matt Damon recently had some nasty words to say about James Bond and though I can see his point, I still enjoy the classic character - especially as interpreted by our most recent Bond, Daniel Craig.

So who is it for you: James Bond or Jason Bourne?
