James Bond's Daniel Craig Wears a Dress

James Bond's Daniel Craig wears a dress for March 8's  centenary of the International Women’s Day, not to mention with a fluffy blond wig. Surprisingly agent 007 is an attractive woman. This is for a campaign to highlight the inequality to women around the world. The short film features the voice of Dame Judi Dench as M asking Bond if they are equals and if Daniel is a woman this and that. Daniel doesn't talk in the film but does a good job posing as a woman.

Although the film looks funny, it does deliver a serious message about equality between men and women. The films says that women does 2/3 of the work in the world and yet only has 10% of the income and 1% of property. It also says that at least one in four women are victims of domestic violence and every single week in the U.K. The short film is directed by Sam Taylor-Wood and is scripted by Jane Goldman.

Sam Taylor-Wood said: "Despite great advances in women’s rights, statistics show that when it comes to the balance of power between the sexes, equality is far from being a global reality. " 

EQUALS spokeswoman, Esme Peach said: "We are thrilled that Sam Taylor-Wood, Daniel Craig, Dame Judi Dench and such a prestigious production team agreed to create this powerful short film for EQUALS."

Megan Fox Fired from Transformers Franchise

Paramount Studios confirmed the rumor that Megan Fox has been fired from the cast of Transformers 3. She will not return to the series when the third installment opens in 2011. They say that the "official reason" is that the third movie is a new chapter and they don't want the lead character to have a girlfriend. But it seems there may have been another reason. 

Megan is known to have tense relations with director Michael Bay and some of the Transformers cast and crew. He compared Bay to "Hitler" and "Napoleon." The actress said in an interview with Britain’s Wonderland Magazine’s: “He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation" and “He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is."

After which, some members of the film crew posted a letter on the director's site criticizing  her. But Director Bay did not like what the crew did and replied: "I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3."

There still no update on who will be the new love interest of Shia LaBeouf’s character.

Spartacus: Liam McIntyre as New Lead Actor for Season Two

Spartacus has a new lead actor. Starz confirmed to Access Hollywood that Australian actor Liam McIntyre would be playing the role of spartacus. This comes just days after Starz announed that they are recasting the lead role left by Andy Whitfield, who has been battling cancer.

Liam McIntyre, born February 8, 1982 in Adelaide, Australia will take over the role of Andy Whitfield for Season 2 of Spartacus, which begins shooting this spring. He is known for his roles on the long-running Australian soap "Neighbors" and had a small role in
HBO's "The Pacific." Liam is currently in New Zealand training and shaping up for his new role as spartacus.


"Since no one can really replace Andy, we realized that we should instead find an actor who can truly lead 'Spartacus' forward," Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said in a statement. "It was important to us to have Andy endorse the idea of recasting this part, which he did in the same heroic manner that he's dealt with his whole ordeal. And that, coupled with our fortune in finding a young actor with the gladiator credentials and the acting ability of Liam, makes it easier for us to keep this hit franchise going."

Andy Whitfield left the series due to his battle with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

"Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" will begin to air January 21, 2011 starring Lucy Lawless and John Hannah.

Oprah Winfrey Lesbian?

The rumors of the talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey being a lesbian has been around for years. People have focused on Winfrey's friend Gayle King being her lesbian partner. Winfrey says that relationship is close but in a different way. "She is ... the mother I never had. She is ... the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person. I don't know a better person," Winfrey says while choking up.

Winfrey, now 56, stated again and again that she is not a
lesbian. "I'm not even kind of a lesbian" she tells Barbara Walters in an interview on ABC. "And the reason why the rumor irritates me is because
it means that somebody must think I'm lying. That's number one. Number two ... why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."
