RAMI MALEK’S GIRLFRIEND IS A WELCOME DISTRACTION

Some people are definitely better than others when it comes to keeping a low profile. Hard to imagine that the man who won the Best Actor Oscar this year starring in Bohemian Rhapsody could spend an afternoon strolling in downtown Manhattan virtually unnoticed – but Rami Malek pulled it off! (The surreptitious photographer snapped him from a distance and kept it a secret.) It helps that all eyes are attracted to his beautiful girlfriend (and costar) Lucy Boynton. The Mr Robot star is just gearing up to star as the main villain in the new James Bond film, Bond 25 (working title.)

SORRY HALLE, URSULA ANDRESS REMAINS THE TOP BOND GIRL

#skyfall #ursulaandress #janetcharlton

Hands down, the most iconic Bond girl continues to be Ursula Andress who played Honey Ryder in “Dr No.” Her photo walking out of the ocean is as famous as Farrah Fawcett’s red bathing suit poster. Back in 1962, James Bond’s “girls” were ridiculously over-sexed playthings who were all too willing to jump into bed with 007. Not exactly a flattering portrait of the female sex. Every time a new James Bond film is released, Swiss- born Ursula Andress is trotted out for the festivities. It’s been fifty years since Dr No, and Ursula still looks good at 76. (Above right, Ursula at a “Skyfall” 007 celebration in Switzerland this week.)

#brittekland #jamesbond #janetcharlton

1974 Bond Girl Britt Ekland is looking quite fabulous. Swedish Britt was one of the hottest blondes in the 70’s – Peter Sellers proposed to her after seeing a photo in a magazine. She also dated Rod Stewart and married Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom. You might remember, Britt and Peter’s daughter Victoria was Heidi Fleiss’s best friend and involved in her Hollywood madam scandal. Britt, 69, made a London appearance to promote the Blu-Ray Collection of James Bond films celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie.

If Daniel Craig, 43, looks a bit gaunt and drawn in his new movie “Aliens and Cowboys” (above right) it’s because he relished the idea of playing a skinny cowboy and was delighted that he didn’t have to train for the movie. Craig’s physique has shrunk since he played James Bond in Casino Royale (above left) but he has to pack on the beefy muscles all over again. In November he starts filming the next Bond movie and producers have told him to bulk up. They don’t want a scrawny James Bond. Daniel and Rachel Weisz, 41, played newlyweds in “Dream House” and they fell hopelessly in love. both dropped their longtime companions, and they married secretly in June.

DANIEL CRAIG DOESN’T DRIVE HIS ASTON MARTIN OFTEN ENOUGH

James Bond fans might be interested to know that 007 star Daniel Craig has put his own 2010 Aston Martin up for sale. He loves the car, but after only 2700 miles Craig realized he has little use for it because he lives most of the time in London. For $134,007 the car can be purchased from Jaguar of Newport Beach. And it still has Daniel’s nameplate on it. But hurry, they don’t expect to have it for long.
