Craig may not return as Bond

The Bond franchise has been revived but heartthrob Daniel Craig may not return as 007 in the next film. Craig signed on for the lead in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, after it was announced earlier in 2010 that producers, MGM studios, had scrapped the Bond franchise due to lack of funds.
Now the 23rd James Bond movie is back on track after MGM filed for bankruptcy to clear its rumoured debts. Plans to press ahead with the movie, with a November 2012 release, have been revived and the company has vowed to release a new 007 film every two years. The report into MGM’s finances also stated that it would own half the rights to the new film, bringing in a partner to boost the coffers, but hoped to regain full ownership of future Bond films.

Courtney Love to wed hotelier
London: Rocker Courtney Love, the widow of music legend Kurt Cobain, is set to tie the knot with billionaire hotelier Andre Balazs.
Love, a former drug addict and wild woman of rock, is planning to take the next step and tie the knot with the 56-year-old businessman. The pair had reportedly ended the relationship for good due to Love’s erratic behaviour but they were recently photographed cuddling up at a New York club. The reunited couple are now so serious about each other that she is planning to move to the UK with him and they are talking of marriage, reported Daily Mail online. Balazs plans to bring the singer to the UK next year when he opens two new hotels. —PTI
