I’ve been excited about this ever since I saw the first trailer – the new James Bond movie opens today! Quantum of Solace has already stirred up plenty of interest elsewhere – it opened last weekend overseas and pulled in $160 million. My guess is it will dominate the box-office this weekend. I really liked Casino Royale and I think Daniel Craig plays a great James Bond. Quantum of Solace is in theaters today.
The latest Hollywood couples getting together for play dates with their kids are costars from Tropic Thunder. Ben Stiller’s wife Christine Taylor says their 6 year-old daughter Ella, has enjoyed a series of play dates with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ 2 year-old daughter Suri. Christine tells me, "Suri's amazing, Tom and Katie are terrific. When little kids get together you just let them do their thing and there's no outside elements, you know what I mean." Cruise and Stiller don't allow their kids to have play dates with Angelina Jolie's children. They're afraid she'll keep them.
STAR Artist David Cook is going overseas to entertain the troops. After that he’ll head out on a U.S. tour and David has said he wants to play college campuses but no dates have been nailed down yet.

Jennifer Aniston and Beyonce are on The Oprah Winfrey Show today and Oprah didn’t dance around anything with Aniston. She got right to it asking her about the recent interview she did with Vogue. Jennifer says “I basically just answered the reporter’s questions as honestly as I could.” If you want to check out the things she said check out yesterday’s Welcome Matt update. As for what she thinks of Brad now, Jennifer tells Oprah, “He’s done some amazing things in the past couple of years. So I just think he’s doing great.” Actually, she hopes he doesn't do too well on Christmas Day, when his film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and her movie Marley & Me both open in theaters. Aniston joked to Oprah, "We all want our movie to do well...Can we have a tie?"
TV Guide has named the Toughest TV Action Stars of all-time. Here they are!
If you thought you’d seen the last of Sarah Palin, think again. Apparently Desperate Housewives is…desperate to get the Alaskan governor to appear on the show’s season finale. I’m sure Palin has agreed to do the show, if the rumor is true. I mean, the have an entire wardrobe department!
STAR Artist Kelly Clarkson’s last CD was called “My December” but her producer tells me that we could expect a new single from her as soon as this December. The title of the song doesn’t do much for my hopes at a better CD from her – it’s called “My Life Would Suck Without You.” Is she in 7th grade or something?
STAR Artist Taylor Swift is sure to be raking in the cash with the release of her new CD "Fearless", combined with the previous success of her hit “Teardrops On My Guitar,” but she tells me she spends her money wisely. “I only invest money back into my career...like I bought myself a new tour bus. I put every one on my team on salary." She did splurge on one thing: a silver Lexus SC 430 hardtop convertible.
Angelina Jolie can blame falling in love with Brad Pitt on the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. And apparently she can blame her recent pregnancy on another movie she did – Changeling. She told me she became pregnant because of the movie’s themes. “I got pregnant right in the middle of it and I think partially because of it. I was so emotional about children that I think something in me kicked into gear."
As I’ve told you , STAR Artists Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Pink and The Fray are performing at this year’s American Music Awards.

The bad blood between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie is apparently boiling over once more. Jennifer is interviewed in the December issue of Vogue and she actually had a lot to say. Heck, they couldn’t shut her up! Specifically on Brad and Angelina she said, “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.” Here's more:
Yesterday I told you the Obama daughters were invited to appear on Hannah Montana and today it looks like Billy Ray Cyrus may have jumped the gun on that one. The all important mom, Michelle Obama, told me that they have received no such offer for the girls. So in that spirit, Disney officially invited them to be on the show. “We're pleased that Malia and Sasha are fans and, as long as their parents say it's OK, they are invited to the set of Hannah Montana and all Disney Channel shows, for a guest role or a visit, anytime.” Never forget about asking mom’s permission.
“So many tears! Everyone was crying when he left.” That’s how Lance Bass describes backstage after Dancing With the Stars when they had to say goodbye to Maurice Greene. Tears – expected. But what wasn’t expected was the small portion of the crowd who cheered – loudly – when he was booted. What was up with that? They were the hormonally charged teen girl fans who were thanking their maker the cute boy was spared.
Senator John McCain was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night for his frist post-election television appearance. Wanna watch it?
Briefly:
STAR Artist got to serenade Hillary Clinton with her favorite song at an event honoring her. Actress Mary Steenburgen brought out David and he belted out “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.”
Shocking: a star who openly admits to gaining weight! STAR Artist Fergie told me she gained 13 pounds for her new role in the movie Nine. “I ate everything!...everything fried…things I don’t normally eat. Now she’s trying to lose the weight.
* On what it was like to go through such a high-profile divorce: "Well, it never was that bad. I mean, look, it's not like divorce is something that you go, 'Oooh, I can't wait to get divorced!'...But I've got to tell you, it's so vague at this point, it's so far away in my mind, I can't even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split."
* On whether she still speaks to Pitt: "We have exchanged a few very kind hellos and wishing you wells and sending you love and congratulations on your babies. I have nothing but absolute admiration for him, and...I'm proud of him! I think he's really done some amazing things!"
* On dating her Break-Up co-star Vince Vaughn: "I call Vince my defibrillator. He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him....He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course."
* On the media frenzy surrounding her on-again-off again relationship with John Mayer: "Love just shows up and you go, 'Oh, wow, this is going to be a hayride and a half...."He is a wonderful guy. We care about each other."

BREAKING: Desperate Housewives Star Hospitalized
From E! Online:
Here's a cliffhanger Jesse Metcalfe could've done without.
Desperate Housewives' sexy gardener is recuperating in a hospital after surviving a 40-foot fall while partying in Monaco.
Metcalfe was attending an afterparty for the World Music Awards in Monaco Sunday night when he lost his balance and tumbled from a hotel balcony down several flights of stairs. [Jesse] was knocked unconscious, and emergency responders immediately transported him to a French hospital.

Isaiah Washington, former Grey’s Anatomy star who was canned for some anti-gay remarks, is speaking out against the recent firing of Brooke Smith who was let go because allegedly producers weren’t comfortable with the lesbian storyline that was developing., Isaiah says “It's unfortunate because it was probably, at the time, the most progressive show on television. Now I see it being systematically torn apart." Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes tells me Brooke was obviously not fired for playing a lesbian. They, “did not find that the magic and chemistry with Brooke's character would sustain in the long run."
