No cite for this as I can’t remember where I read/heard it, but apparently, the folks in charge of the Bond franchise have totally lost it. I’ve seen Britney’s _Crossroads_ movie, and her idea of acting has a lot in common with deer in headlights. ---

James Bond, Agent 007? No. Gold Bond Medicated Powder? Maybe. ---

Then she will fit right in with such Bond girls as Denise Richardson, Tanya Roberts, and Britt Ekland. 😃 ---

Can’t be much worse than Halle Berry or Denise Richards were, if at all. My dream Bond Girl would be Famke Janssen personally. ---

Yeah, after casting Denise Richardson as a nuclear physicist, they might as well cast Britney Spears as damn anything. President of a college, Congresswoman, the President of the USA. Whatever. ---

I’d have to nominate Britt Ekland for playing the _stupidest_ Bond girl (i.e. the one you just wanted to slap for being such an idiot) with Jill St. John getting the silver. But among the worst _actresses_ to play a Bond girl, Lynn-Holly Johnson (“Bibi” from _For Your Eyes Only_) has gotta be in there somewhere. ---

Jill St. John wasn’t that bad. The dummy in that movie was Lana Wood. ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > Nobody seems to even know who the next James Bond is going to be, let alone the next Bond girl. Julian McMahon (who is so god damn hot it hurts me) is rumored to be the new Bond. No cite, no idea where I heard/read that. He’d be a hell of a lot better than that scrubby guy from 10 Things I Hate About You, IMO. If Julian gets it, I might have to develope at least a slight interested in the whole Bond thing. 🙂 ---
