The next James Bond movie will be made in London, despite claims it is too expensive to film there. Bosses Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli recently threatened to pull out of Britain, because of rising costs. Wilson said, "London is the most expensive city in the world right now. To bring talent here and put them up for long periods of time and the cost of doing business here is a factor". But she has mellowed and finally decided to stage it in London where Daniel Craig will be starring again. Barbara said, "We'd like to do another two or three with Daniel and we'd like to film the next one in London". Alright then. That guy deserved at least one more chance after a splendid performance.


Even though they have occasionally met up after their separation a few months back, Chris Robinson has now filed for divorce from his wife of nearly six years, Kate Hudson. Lawyer Laura Wasser filed papers on Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Robinson's behalf, citing "irreconcilable differences." Robinson is seeking joint custody for two-year-old son Ryder. The couple has a prenup and that he is not seeking spousal support. Child-support matters aside, freewill lifestyle now beckons.


What is 'the show' that has recently spooked Girls Aloud? Not an All Saints DVD concert... but these girls were left shaken and crying after a spooky appearance on TV show Ghosthunting. They agreed to shoot the show thinking it would be fun, but were shocked by mysterious noises and unexplained sensations while filming ouija board sessions at a hospital mortuary and a haunted mansion. Nadine refused to take part and Nicola walked off set before the show was finished. Cheryl said, "It was terrible. I yelled the place down. And I burst into tears when something touched my arm". Kimberley added, "I had a stone thrown at me and I cried a lot. I was so fearful". Wake me up before I drop out on you..

Matt Bellamy is readying himself to take the plunge? He is finally ready to marry long-term Italian girlfriend Gaia - underwater. Matt explains, "I never thought I'd get married because my family don't have a good record on that score. But I like the idea of having kids and settling down one day. I'd like to get married underwater, make it something to remember. But Italians are very religious, so we'll see what happens." That is one cool place where they could sing for absolution..

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty were banned from the world premiere of Casino Royale! They were desperate to attend the event but organisers deemed them unsuitable guests to share the red carpet. A source told Closer mag: "Pete was desperate to go with Kate. She's a fan of the films and was planning a special outfit to wear. But the organisers didn't want them mixing with royalty on the red carpet - it's a classy event and they were not considered right for the occasion. They're gutted." Kate dated Daniel for a short time in 2004 but their romance quickly fizzled out. No wonder she was so keen on going.

Here's the AOL listening party for Akon's new album 'Konvicted' -> [Akon-Konv]

New songs:
>> Kylie - White Diamonds (live) [mp3]
>> The Good Go - We Go [mp3]
>> Duels - Animal [mp3]
>> Oasis - Lord Don't Slow Me Down (live) [mp3]

A collaboration with Scissor Sisters resulted in White Diamonds recently performed by the pop queen. The Good Go has an interesting concept mixing Jack White's familiar raw guitar sounds with the spunk of Roger Sisters. Duels is bringing back 90s Suede/Supergrass scene with this track. An early version of Oasis new track sounds good.

Jessica Biel dating New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter? The couple were recently spotted at the L.A. hotspot, Hyde. Even though three girls scurried over to chat with Jeter when she went to the ladies, he dimissed them and put all his attention on Biel as soon as she returned. Hmmm...betcha she could keep up with his running speed and take him on at kickboxing as well.

Meanwhile, Jessica Simpson might be dating Tony Romo, the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. A source revealed, "I'm not sure this Simpson-Romo thing has legs, but I can confirm that he hooked up her father, Joe, with tickets to Sunday's game.." Will this kickstart a genuine romance? Or he might just turn offence to defense by next weekend.


George Clooney isn't too happy about his friend Matt Damon missing out on the sexiest man spot and advises him on how to nab it one day. Clooney told People mag: "I gotta say, this is a very big disappointment for Matt, because he did run a very good campaign. Matt's got a couple of year left before it's time for him." The reason why Bourne wasn't on the list is because he works hard to be boring to stay low key in this business.. [Matt-Boring]


Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen are currently filming in Rome together. Their sci-fi thriller 'Jumper' is due in 2008.

Quite a demanding girl, even when she was just three.. Keira Knightley demanded an agent when she was just three years old. Keira has confessed she always wanted to be in the spotlight, even since before she started school. She said: "I first started asking for an agent when I was three. I thought it was really unfair that I didn't have one." Her first acting role didn't require much thespian ability. She said: "I got my first part when I was seven. I basically just stood in the background and smiled. I didn't really do very much." Some girls have all the luck?

15 ways to annoy a metalhead:
1. Tell them every metal band worships the devil.
2. Ask if all black metal bands are trying to copy KISS or just most of them.
3. If they're listening to metal, tell them it sounds like some mainstream band. Doesn't matter who.
4. Turn the bass way up on their stereo.
5. Ask if they've given their souls to Jesus yet.
6. If they're listening to metal, tell them "These guys don't have talent. Now (insert any mainstream band here), those guys have talent!"
7. Tell them it all sounds the same.
8. Tell them you like underground music too, like (insert the newest overhyped fashionable loud-ish band from the radio).
9. Point out that just about every genre of music has an underground with bands who have integrity, so metal really isn't that unique.
10. Take out the Iron Maiden disc and put in 50 Cent.
11. Tell them Korn brought metal back to life in the 90s.
12. Laugh at Slayer for stealing their name from the Buffy show.
13. Remind them that metal is partially derived from the blues. Then accuse them of being wiggers.
14. Pine for the good old days when 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' was a big hit.
15. Tell them that Bon Jovi was the heaviest out of all of them.
