Did you like Quantum of Solace? Neither did I. Despite all the bombast and the film being billed as "The first direct James Bond sequel EVAR!" I just found myself bored throughout it, except maybe during that opening car chase. Otherwise, it was snoozeville. I lay part of that blame on the fact that we didn't get a decent Bond girl to go with it. Olga Kurylenko bored me to tears with her monotonal portrayal of a daughter seeking revenge, and I would have much rather seen more of the redhead who is all-too-briefly seen as another MI6 agent sent to guard Bond. So, with that in mind, here are seven women who I'd like to see fill the Bond cups, er... shoes.

Alright, this list is partly SXSW-influenced, and that's because of the sheer amount of hotties shown onscreen in Sebastian Gutierrez's Women In Trouble. Carla Gugino spends a good amount of time in nothing more than a bra and panty set, and you could practically see the humidity steaming off the screen because of it. Yes, she's seriously that hot, don't let her middle-aged turn in the recent Watchmen fool you. But lined up right behind her is even more hotness from the film, and you'll have to read on to see how it plays out.

Carla Gugino
I'll be honest here, and Ms. Gugino I sure hope you aren't reading this. But ... I just didn't think you had the chops. However, I loved your powerful (and all-too-brief) turn in Sin City, and enjoyed your portrayal of Vincent Chase's agent Amanda in Entourage, and now I realized that you have the curves a Bond girl needs, but you really deliver on the icy cold ball-busting looks that a Bond villain thrives on. Let's give Bond a good villainess to do battle with, and one that stands on equal footing with him in the smouldering looks department. When you appear as aging boozehound Sally Jupiter and pornstar extraordinaire Elektra Luxx a few weeks apart, it's bound to pop a few eyes out. Thanks for proving to us that you've got both the acting ability and the jigglewatts to pull this off.

There are many roles I can see Jennifer Aniston in, from wacky friend to indie moonlighting. But while we've often seen her rocking a bikini in the tabloids, I never thought it would lead to the biggest bombshell cinematic gig out there -- Bond girl.

The latest rumor cooking up at the Daily Express (as outlined on Ace Showbiz) states that after Aniston told Elle Magazine that she'd love to do a James Bond action flick with Daniel Craig, she perked up the ears over at EON, Bond's production company. The source is quoted as saying: "We're always looking for the next Bond girl. She has to be beautiful but she also needs to have brains. It helps if she's athletic and able to keep up with the intense stunt work a Bond movie demands. Jennifer has all these qualities. It's great to hear she'd love to do a movie because we have used established actresses before such as Teri Hatcher and Denise Richards. It's great she's a fan." The source went on to say that it's likely she'll now be called in to meet with producers as another sequel starts brewing.

Call me crazy, but I don't see this working out. Aniston has achieved a great many things, but she's not the woman that exudes toughness and intrigue whilst making men drool. She's got her girl posse, but I rarely if ever hear men (especially action fiends) spouting Aniston love.

So, in honor of crazy casting, go wild in the comments with the most unlikely and crazy Bond girl you can think of. Would anyone be more surprising than Aniston?

I can't believe I just typed that headline. US Weekly, here I come...

When the tabloids started spreading the news that Angelina Jolie had turned down the role of Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale, most of us assumed that Angie's decision was based on the fact that she's obviously too big of a star to play what essentially amounts to a girlfriend role. But British rag The Globe (via Perez Hilton) is reporting that Angie's starry eyes aren't nearly as big as her stomach – or, read: She's freakin' preggers! If the tabs are to be believed, she wanted the part, but had to turn it down because of its action requirements. Jolie is said to be at least four months along, and as the Mirror reports today, a spy on the set of her latest film, A Good Shepherd, says her costumes have already been altered to make room for the – no, I can't. I can't do it. Okay, I can – baby bump. Perez also has a paparazzi shot of Miss Jolie, which seems to provide irrefutable evidence that the Oscar winner is, in fact, incubating a baby Brad – or else, she got caught on camera after a really big lunch.

I'm going to go wash the grease off of my soul before Bonnie Fuller sniffs it out and offers me a job. One last thought: wouldn't you rather have a pregnant Bond girl than see Jessica Simpson do it?

Blah blah blah Bond Girl. Blah blah blah Naomi Watts. Blah blah blah blah blah blah...

Oh, I'm sorry. You probably want me to actually pretend to care that another A- list actress has been named in association with the role of Vesper Lynde in Casino Royale. This time it's Naomi Watts, who is cowering from a few embarrassing quotes she spat out about what a big freakin' star she was about to become, right before King Kong opened to B business and she found that she was still able to roam the streets of New York and be recognized only as "that sallow blonde woman holding hands with Liev Schreiber." The rumor, reported by The Sun, is that Bond producers want Watts to do a screen test early in the new year, but that the actress is worried about taking the role for fear of being "typecast". I say, being typecast is exactly what Naomi Watts needs – at least then we might be able to pick her out of a lineup.
