The London tabloids are announcing that actor Daniel Craig has been named the 6th James Blond, er Bond. It was even confirmed by his mother who spilled the beans a day early to the Liverpool Daily Post. "Obviously we are thrilled to bits," she said.
Best known for his affair with Sienna Miller rather than any particular film role, the new blond Bond has landed a 3-film deal, worth about $15 million up front. Craig, 37, and his receding hairline, beat out other actors you've actually heard of, including Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell, Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana, for the coveted role. Lensing of "Casino Royale" begins in January.
