> [@QuizCustodet](#): > > There but for the grace of God goes Christina Aguilera. At least Christina can sing, Britney sounds like she has a perpetual head cold. If Britney gets the job I guess she needs to make sure the D-cups are fully inflated and in their upright position. I’ll second the ice skating girl, Lynn-Holly Johnson as the worst. Then again I usually only watch these movies when they are on TV and there is nothing else worth watching (like paint drying) so I may not have seen the more recent entries. ---

Well, if they’re going to have Brittney be a Bond Girl, let’s just go with it. I say they get Justin Timberlake to be the new James Bond. Brittney and Christina can be the Bond Girls, Nick Lachey can be the bad guy who wants to destroy the world, and Lance Bass can be Q. Perhaps some of the Backstreet Boys can be some of the anonymous henchmen. Did I leave anyone out? ---

It could be a good thing. Maybe she’ll be the bad Bond girl and near the end of the film she can be killed! Think of it. Maybe she’ll be blown up! Or drowned! Or shot with a machine gun! Maybe something heavy will drop on her head! All this in technicolor with 6 channel surround sound! ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > You left out Jessica! Wow, how did I forget her? Okay, she can be the bad guy’s wife who seduces Bond and puts him in an easily escapable trap while she goes off to do commercials with the Muppets. ---

Only if it’s directed by Joe Dante and there’s a helicopter pilot named Vic Morrow. ---

(Falling off the back of air-dropped bomb, holding the detonator…screaming his vengeance.) “I’ll see you next Tuesday, Bond! I’LL SEE YOU NEXT TUUUUUUUUESSSSSDAAAAAAAY–!!” ---

According to Jay Leno: > [@](#): > > …Britney Spears is being considered for the next ‘Bond girl’ in the next 007 movie. She would play the role of Russian agent ‘Natasha Lipsynka.’ 😛 ---

> [@pugluvr](#): > > Didn’t I read somewhere that Orlando Bloom was to be the next James Bond? as who? The Son of James Bond? It’s is common knowledge that Bond is always in his late-thirties to early fourties and has been so since the 60s. In about five years I think Jude Law might make a likely candidate. Maybe Hugh Jackman if they really need someone now. > [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > Well, if they’re going to have Brittney be a Bond Girl, let’s just go with it. > > I say they get Justin Timberlake to be the new James Bond. Brittney and Christina can be the Bond Girls, Nick Lachey can be the bad guy who wants to destroy the world, and Lance Bass can be Q. Perhaps some of the Backstreet Boys can be some of the anonymous henchmen. Did I leave anyone out? Pink can play the part of M. Hillary Duff can be Ms Moneypenny. Usher can be some CIA guy or maybe an evil lieutenant or something. ---

There’s going to be a new series of novels where Bond is a schoolboy.

I’m not kidding, [Charlie Highson has signed on as the new novelist](http://www.mi6.co.uk/sections/articles/literature_yjb_first_details.php3?t=&s=articles). It’s the [James Bond Jr cartoon](http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-14674/James_Bond_Jr/) all over again. > [@](#): > > James Bond, Jr. was an animated spinoff, from the famous franchise, that centered around 007’s nephew. When the series was created in 1991, the James Bond franchise was in its infamous limbo period following the release of “Licence to Kill” in 1989 and preceding the release of “Goldeneye” in 1995. > Failing to remain true to the 1967 James Bond Junior 003 1/2 novel (By R.D. Mascott), the TV show is as follows: Warfield Academy is a high security college for relatives of Secret Service employees. 007’s teenage newphew (also called James) is there, as is Felix Leiter’s son, and Q’s grandson. When they are not in class, they’re battling the forces of S.C.U.M., an international organisation resembling S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in many ways. ---

The irony, of course, is that the novel version James Bond is an only child. He’d expressed some desire to have kids, but not until he was permanently retired from field work, which would take place when he was 45. Of course, by all rights he should have about fifteen kids already, the hound. ---

I would like to see Brittney Spears as a Bond Girl. So she can be dropped into a tank filled with sharks that have freakin’ laser beams on their fins. Denise Richards ruined whatever Bond Flick she crapped all over. I’d like to see Lucy Liu as a Bond Girl. Hell, I’d like to see her as Jane Bond.
