Roger Moore Denies Racism In Comments On Next Bond


James Bond legend Roger Moore insisted Saturday he had said nothing racist about fellow British actor Idris Elba -- tipped to play the superspy next -- in a French magazine interview.

The 87-year-old star, who played the suave British agent in seven films from 1973 to 1985, insisted his meaning had been lost in translation.

"An interview I gave to Paris Match implies I said something racist about Idris Elba. That is simply untrue," Moore wrote on Twitter, using the hashtag "Lost in translation".

He added: "When a journalist asks if 'Bond should be English' and you agree, then quotes you saying it about Idris Elba it's out of context."

Reproductions of the interview have led to Moore being blasted by Twitter users.

In the interview, Moore was talking about the different actors who have played agent 007 on screen.
In the 23 official Bond films to date, the title role has been played in turn by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, who is currently shooting "Spectre", due out in November.

Roger Moore Says Idris Elba as James Bond is "Unrealistic" Because He's Not "English-English"


Speaking to Paris Match magazine, veteran actor and former James Bond, Roger Moore, shared that he felt Idris Elba would make an "unrealistic" 007, because he's not English enough apparently. This comes after many months of rumors that Elba would be heir to the Bond movie throne once Daniel Craig's stint is up.

Moore's exact quote was: "Although James may have been played by a Scot, a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be 'English-English.' Nevertheless it's an interesting idea… but unrealistic."

I know what "unrealistic" means, buy what does he mean by "English-English"?

Moore didn't clarify, even after news of his dissent spread across social media and fans took him to task. His only reply, via Twitter, was that what he said was "lost in translation."

I can only ask, please Sir Moore, translate for us so that we all can understand, if you believe that we're incorrect in our assumptions.

George And Amal Clooney Get All Glammed Up For A Double Date


On Friday evening George and Amal Clooney went out to dinner in New York City, but rather than getting all glammed up for a night at a fancy restaurant, the couple went to the home of journalists Tina Brown and Sir Harold Evans for a night in.

Clooney carried a copy of Evans' 1998 book, The American Century, and even though they weren't in black tie garb, they looked like they could have easily graced a red carpet.

The couple, who tied the knot in September, have been in NYC for the last few months, after Amal nabbed a professor gig at Columbia Law School. George is currently shooting Money Monster at Kaufman Studios in Long Island, so that worked out well.

Calvin Harris IS Dating Taylor Swift, But Says She's Not His Type


First there were rumors that Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift were dating, and now it seems to be true. Taylor is "the opposite of my type" and proclaimed that he'd swipe left (i.e., reject her) if he ever stumbled across her on Tinder.

In his defense, he could have been trying to keep their romance on the DL, because the duo WERE all over each other at Kenny Chesney's Nashville concert on Thursday, March 26. But is it all for love or is this a possible business move too? While Calvin isn't exactly hurting in the cash department (he's worth an estimated $70 million), a source said, "Calvin is the best businessman among DJs and knows the cache of dating the biggest pop star in the world." Calvin has apparently "developed feelings" for Taylor, but the source adds that Calvin is "wired for success and there's no hard dividing line separating his personal life from business."

Melanie Griffith Has Yet Another Laser Session To Remove Her Antonio Tattoo


On Friday afternoon Melanie Griffith hit the gym, and afterwards she stopped by the Epione skincare clinic to have a laser treatment to remove her Antonio tattoo. We've spotted her after a number of sessions over the last 8 months, so this has to be one of her last ones! While she was with soon-to-be ex-hubby Antonio Banderas for 18 years, it has to feel pretty good to start with a clean slate ... and without a cheesy tattoo that serves as a constant reminder of him.

Melanie filed for divorce from Antonio last June, citing irreconcilable differences. Last we heard, she was asking for spousal support and custody of the couple's daughter Stella, but seeing as Stella is now 18, that's obviously not an issue anymore. And we're not sure what went wrong, but in a recent interview, Antonio had nothing but nice things to say about his estranged wife.

While promoting his new sci-fi film Automata on the Spanish TV show El Hormiguero, Antonio said, "It's been an intense year... Life goes on. I admire and respect for Melanie first and foremost as a great actress. I have always said that. That's why she's in the movie ... And she's also the person that I loved, that I love and will always love."

First 'Spectre' Trailer Hints At 007's Deep, Dark Secrets


The first teaser trailer for the new James Bond film "Spectre" has arrived and it's surprisingly low-key. There are no explosions, car chases, train chases, motorcycle chases or foot chases on offer. It only hints at violence, culminating in a single gunshot at the end.

The trailer carries a dark, ominous feeling throughout, but gives very little away. Assuming you skipped reading the leaked "Spectre" script from the 2014 Sony hack, most of what we know about the new film can be boiled down to this summary from 007.com: "In SPECTRE, a cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE."

Spectre is a familiar name to Bond fans. It stands for "Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion" and represents a global organization of criminals and terrorists featured prominently in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, as well as earlier Bond films.

Kendall Jenner Is The Newest Face Of Calvin Klein


Kendall Jenner just landed Calvin Klein, pretty much cementing her status as fashion's "It" girl.

The tallest Kardashian's just debut her first ad campaign for the label's denim collection, Calvin Klein Jeans. And she's brooding way hard.

Melisa Goldie, Chief Marketing Officer of Calvin Klein, said,"Kendall is a modern beauty who brings her youthful spirit and edge to this special Calvin Klein Jeans campaign."

Kendall herself also said in a statement, "Modeling for Calvin Klein Jeans is really a dream come true.

Jon Hamm Talks About Rehab For The First Time Since Undergoing Treatment For Alcohol Abuse


Jon Hamm secretly entered a 30-day rehab to address his alcohol abuse, it was reported yesterday, and now the actor is shedding some light on his recent battle with the bottle.

"Life throws a lot at you sometimes and you have to deal with it as much as you can," he said in an interview with Australian magazine TV Week.

When the publication asked him if it was difficult to play a heavy drinker on his show Mad Men, the A-lister drew some comparisons, but did not totally blame his behavior on his craft.

"I've said in varying ways that acting can be a difficult endeavor. Certainly not as difficult as the recent example I used of being a baby heart surgeon. But it does present its own challenges and so does life," he admitted.

Jamie Foxx Hangs With Married Blonde While Girlfriend Katie Holmes Stays Home


Jamie Foxx grabbed lunch with an attractive blonde in Malibu today, which caused us to wonder if he was actually telling the truth when he said he's not romancing Katie Holmes, but then we noticed the blonde's wedding ring. So, the actor basically had a platonic bite with a friend and left his actress girlfriend at home in an attempt to quiet relationship rumors.

"Come on, you guys have been trying to get that to stick for three years. Good stories, I guess," the Ray star told photographers when news broke of the coupling.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and shortly after their love affair was exposed, a snapshot of them holding hands in the studio surfaced. We all hold hands with our sexy and single friends, right? Wrong! Jamie is totally banging Tom Cruise's ex.

Leonardo Dicaprio Picks Up A Mystery Woman From The Side Of The Road After Partying With Justin Bieber


Who's that girl?! We have no idea! But Leonardo DiCaprio definitely picked her up off the side of the road on Tuesday morning after partying the night away with Justin Bieber on Monday night.

Driving his Mercedes-Benz, Leo picked up the mystery brunette after living it up at 1Oak with Justin Bieber the night before. The babe was decked out in all black and got into the back seat, as Leo's bud was in the passenger seat.

Zayn Malik Quits 'One Direction'


Zayn Malik shocked the world when he pulled a John Lennon and took his final curtain call with the five-member group on Wednesday. The rest of 1D, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, will continue as a quartet. BTW: In case you (because you are an adult human) don't know which one Zayn is -- he's the really skinny one who brown hair who isn't Harry Styles.

The Brit released a statement to the Daily Mail in which he thanks the band:

    My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22 year old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight. I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world. (sic)"

Gwyneth Paltrow Looks Like She Forgot To Put On Pants


It may look like it, but Gwyneth just wore some seriously short jorts (aka jean shorts for those of you not in the know) to run some errands on Tuesday.

The leggy lady raised some eyebrows when she wore a button down, cardigan and those not-so appropriate shorts. The 42-year-old was dressed more like a teenager than a mother of two as she hopped around Los Angeles.

Tom Hanks Acts Out His Filmography In 7-Minutes On 'The Late Late Show'


Last night, "The Late Late Show" relaunched with new host James Corden at the helm, and to help get things rolling, none other than the omnipresent Tom Hanks stopped by to lend his always welcome support. And the duo teamed for Corden's first late-night viral hit.

For almost seven minutes Corden teamed with Hanks in a celebration of the actor's career, with the duo acting out scenes from pretty much every movie in his canon you can think of.

Nerds of the universe -- rejoice! FOX has just announced beloved TV show, The X-Files, is returning for a six-episode event.

The series brings back original actors Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny as FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder.

The reboot will even be captained by the show's original creator and executive producer Chris Carter.

“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” Carter said in a statement. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”

Iggy Azalea Admits She Got A Boob Job Four Months Ago


The rapper just admitted to Vogue that she got breast implants four months ago.

When the magazine asked what she'd like to change about her body, the outspoken Aussie revealed, "I did change something: Four months ago, I got bigger boobs! I'd thought about it my entire life."

The "Fancy" lady says she got the boob job to be more proportionate and got tired of padding her costumes. "It's about proportion," she explained. "I have to have everything tailored because I have such a small waist. I'm a 2 or a 0 on the top, and a 6 on the bottom."

The 24-year-old said she kept her lips shut about the surgery because she didn't want to influence young fans or make them feel bad about their bodies. However, Iggy seems to have had a change of heart. "But then I decided I wasn't into secret-keeping," she explained.

Mila Kunis Finally Confirms That She's Married To Ashton Kutcher


Mila Kunis appears on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" tonight, and she finally confirms that she's married to Ashton Kutcher. Well, kinda.

Corden asks multiple times if the two have tied the knot, and every time Kunis replies with a coy "Maybe." Corden, who recently replaced Craig Ferguson on the show, wouldn't let the starlet get away with such a vague answer, so what did he do? According to reports, Corden demanded that Kunis show the audience her left hand and then he pointed to her wedding band and exclaimed, "They are married, look!"

Kunis and Kutcher welcomed their daughter Wyatt Isabelle last fall, and on January 1 the Two And A Half Men star posted an photo with "The Kutchers" written on the beach, sparking rumors that the two had already tied the knot. Then last month Ellen DeGeneres grilled Kunis on the matter, to which the actress replied, "I don’t know. We could just be a plural."

Vin Diesel Names His Newborn Daughter After Late Co-Star Paul Walker


Vin Diesel revealed on a pre-taped Today show Monday that he named his newborn daughter Pauline as a tribute to his late co-star Paul Walker.

"While I was in the hospital, the name that I will give you is... I named her... I named her Pauline," the action star divulged. "There's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord. I just thought... I knew he was there and it felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world," he added. The Fast & The Furious star's girlfriend Paloma Jimenez gave birth to the couple's third child earlier this month.

Walker died at age 40 in November 2013 after getting into a fiery car accident, and those closest to him have yet to get over their grief. Fellow co-star Michelle Rodriguez recently admitted in a new Entertainment Weekly interview that the actor's death left her reeling and she turned to wild partying to cope.

Dakota Johnson Comes Back From Spring Break With Melanie Griffith And Kris Jenner


While most 25-year-old actresses who starred in the winter's biggest movie would be sunning themselves during spring break with a bunch of gal pals, Dakota Johnson isn't your average film star. The Fifty Shades of Grey actress just returned from a Mexican getaway to Cancun with her mom 57-year-old mom Melanie Griffith and her mom's bud, 59-year-old Kris Jenner.

For the flight, Dakota donned a pair of white overalls, a tank top, some Adidas sneakers -- and a straw hat, of course. Mom Melanie was wearing a flirty minidress and a zip-up hoodie. Mama Jenner pulled a routine all-black ensemble, wearing a see-through top, black bra and black pants.

It's believed that the threesome went to Cancun for a vacation after Jenner and her 33-year-old boyfriend, Corey Gamble, split.

Last week, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians's star posted a sunset selfie with the Milk Money while on their dreamy vacay. Along with the sunny snap, Kris wrote, "Sunset vibes with @melanie_griffith57 #amazing #blessed #beautiful #friendship."

Jennifer Lawrence Spends Time With Serena Co-Star Bradley Cooper In NYC


Jennifer Lawrence hit the town in New York, on Saturday, as her ex, Chris Martin, spends time back in Malibu.

The Hunger Games star celebrated the VOD release of her new film Serena at the top of the Belvedere Hotel with third-time co-star Bradley Cooper. The pair shared the big screen in 2012's Silver Linings Playbook, then again in 2013 for American Hustle. Lawrence says of the repeat on-screen pairing, "Honestly, it's just happenstance. We both got cast in Silver Linings, and she was going to this other movie and the role was open and so that worked out."


Box Office: 'Insurgent' Arrives In First Place With Solid $54 Million


Lionsgate's The Divergent Series: Insurgent led the box office this weekend with an estimated first place debut of $54.03 million. The second installment of the young adult series starring Shailene Woodley debuted in line with pre-release expectations. Insurgent opened just below the $54.61 million debut of last year's Divergent.

However, it should be noted that Insurgent had the added advantage of higher priced 3D admissions, while Divergent did not. With that said, Insurgent was still off to a very solid start of its own this weekend. It should also be noted that the film's overseas start was significantly stronger than that of Divergent.
