Quantum Of Solace Is "One Brutalizing Bummer Of A Ride"

Well it's here, the 22nd James Bond installment, Quantum of Solace, opens today nationwide. Starring every American woman's Secret Boyfriend, Daniel Craig, this installment bears little resemblance to the Bond films of the past. Craig has been both praised and criticized for his portrayal of Bond as a less campy 007, and in this installment, Bond has gone off the grid to hunt down the killers of his former lover from Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd. The revenge theme and sequel-like plot rubs some critics the wrong way; who would rather see the pun-ready, lady-bedding, Martini-sipping Bond over Quantum's new Jason Bourne-esque action hero. Some collected reviews after the jump. More »

The Quantum Of Solace Premiere Was A License To Dress Poorly

Isn't it weird how into Bond we've all gotten since Craig stepped into his hand-made shoes? At last night's Tribeca Film Institute's 2008 Fall Benefit Screening of the latest, Quantum of Solace, at AMC Lincoln Square, Daniel Craig channeled 007, Molly Sims channeled Glinda, and Julia Stiles channeled a potato sack. Indeed, in this star-studded assemblage — think Debra Messing, Becki Newton, Kelly Bensimon and more — for every Bond Girl-worthy frock was a total sartorial head-scratcher. The Good, the Bad... the quantum of solace (?) — after the jump! More »

Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend is jail-bound. Raffaello Follieri has been sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty to cheating investors. • A "high-level insider" is confirming that Lindsay Lohan has been fired from Ugly Betty, as mentioned earlier. And they're spreading even more catty backstage gossip, including that Lindsay is even being cut out of episodes she's already shot. • If you've been waiting to make your presidential pick based on who would make a better James Bond, it's Obama. Barack Obama. Daniel Craig tells Parade magazine Obama would make a better British super spy because, "he’d be willing to quite literally look the enemy in the eye and go toe-to-toe with them." He adds that McCain would make a better M because of his long service and experience. "There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain," says Craig.

The very adorable How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hanningan is preggers. This is the first child for Hanningan, 34, and fellow Buffy alum, husband Alexis Denisof, 42. • Jada Pinkett Smith runs a tight ship. She tells Cookie Magazine that manners are of the utmost importance in the Smith household: "It’s not ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ just ‘because I told you so.’ “I tell [my kids], ‘Every time you go out into the world, you are leaving an impression of yourself and this family with other people. What impression do you want to leave? Do you want people to think you are spoiled [rotten]?’” • Daniel Craig got pretty tipsy while sampling a bunch of shaken, not stirred martinis as 007. "They're knockout," Craig says. "We did a proper taste test: full measure of gin, full measure of vodka and then another liqueur on top of it. I ended up on the floor." [Us, Cookie, People] More »

Josh Brolin will host SNL on October 18th! Who wants to bet that he's going to be playing W. in at least one skit? • Daniel Craig hates dieting, just like us! “I eat a full breakfast, full lunch, full dinner and once or twice a week I might even drink Guinness and red wine and all that stuff. Otherwise you go insane. You get into a stupid place. I’m obsessive enough about getting fit, it’s ridiculous," James Bond says. • In the aftermath of his latest drug bust, George Michael is reportedly hiding out in South Africa in a $1,500 private game resort.

Leonardo DiCaprio's grandmother, Helene Indenbirken, passed away at the age of 93 in her native Germany, and Leo is "close to heartbroken" over the death of his beloved Oma. He said of Helene in Vanity Fair four years ago, "I love spending time with her because she is gangsta, with an 'a,'…She will tell people exactly what she thinks to their face." • Princes William and Harry will grace the London premiere of the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, on October 29th. According to People, "Per the princes' request, proceeds from the event will go to benefit two charities: Help for Heroes, which aids wounded servicemen and women, and the Royal British Legion, which provides support to the serving and ex-Service community and their families."

James Bond Really Ought To Be A Brown, Pashto-Speaking Woman

Imagine you want to infiltrate a terror cell. Do you send a white guy in a tux? Yesterday, an AP story was published about MI6, Britain's secret spy agency, and the recruiting campaign it launched about a year ago. More than 20,000 people have since applied, and they don't all look like Daniel Craig. Or Roger Moore, or Sean Connery, for that matter. The agency is actively seeking women and minorities to tackle terrorism. Pola Uddin, the first Muslim woman in the House of Lords, is in favor of some affirmative action for MI6. "We need less sexism and a symbol who doesn't always hold a martini glass," she says. More »
