A collection of rare James Bond books once owned by "the real 007" will go on sale Wednesday at an auction. They are expected to fetch $40,000.   Not bad money for a couple of books.

Apparently the novels were part of the collection of the suave English spy’s creator Ian Fleming’s friend, Sir Fitzroy Maclean. The set includes every Bond novel from 1953 onward, plus a rare first edition of the original Casino Royale book.

The collection will be auctioned at Lyon and Turnbull auctioneers in Edinburgh on Wednesday.  It has been said that Sir Fitzroy may possibly be the inspiration for James Bond.

He had been a friend of Flemings since their Eton days. A some-time diplomat, Tory MP, founder member of the SAS and friend of Sir Winston Churchill, Fitzroy was one of the great British adventure heroes of the 20th Century. He died in 1996.

Telegraph.co.uk quotes Simon Vickers of the auctioneers as saying, "Sir Fitzroy is one of the men thought to have inspired the character of Bond. He certainly fits the bill and when asked during his life about the link he wouldn’t confirm or deny it."

"He was a friend of Fleming’s and they moved in the same circles."   Source

Not one to be typecasted in a tween role, "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe reveals that his dream role is to play a drag queen.

The English film and stage actor looks very manly and more matured than his 19 years as he poses on the cover of Details magazine’s October issue, wherein he confesses his dream of wearing a dress.  He tells the publication, "I think part of me would love to play a drag queen. Just because It would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup."

Radcliffe, whose film works mainly consists of the "Harry Potter" franchise, has been careful to leave his boy wizard persona when he is off-screen.  He says, "Whenever I can I want to leave Harry there on the screen. I don’t want to bring him into my normal life."

Perhaps that’s also why he chose to star in a racy, albeit critically acclaimed, stage production "Equus," wherein he has to appear completely nude in one scene.  He hasn’t exactly been leading a normal teenage life, but that’s okay for him saying that he doesn’t "pretend to do anything particularly wild," addressing reports about his relatively quiet personal life.

He says, "People talk about rebellion and the say, ‘Where is the teenage angst?’ But I say I try to do it simply by the choices I make in the work I do. I just like wrong-footing people. I write poetry and I love it."  "I like being different from most other people in my generation."   Source

Lily dressed in a fugly ball gown, soon began slurring, swearing and ad-libbing - and it was only a matter of time before she had an all-too-public fall-out on stage with co-host Elton.  When she came to announce ‘…and now the most important part of the night’, Elton chipped in ‘What? Are you going to have another drink?’

She fired back: ‘F*** off Elton. I am 40 years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me!’  The shocked audience fell silent.  A clearly rattled Elton replied ‘I could still snort you under the table’. To which she replied:
‘F*** off. I don’t know what you are talking about.’

On more than one occasion, Elton could be seen having a stern word with her in the wings between awards.  She barely made it off the stage after the awards ended - before drinking even more at the afterparty.   I think she is going to be embarresed tomorrow about her behavior.  Didn’t she blog recently how mature she was?  She left out that she was a drunk.

Honestly, we really shouldn’t be surprised at anything when it comes to Michael Jackson.   But I have to admit it is shocking that Michael has been out on a string of dates with Pamela Anderson.   The skank and the odd fellow to have bonded over their love of plastic surgery and have been hooking up in Malibu.

Apparently Pam is a massive fan of Michael… and it seems the feeling is mutual.   A source said: "It was all arranged by their people in total secrecy, very cloak and dagger. Michael is such a private person. He gets nervous when he thinks people are following him around, so he chose somewhere neutral for their first date. "They arrived separately at the Shutters Hotel on Malibu Beach so no one would suspect anything and then had a few drinks in the bar."

Michael better watch our with her she has been around the tracks one time too may, God only knows what he would catch from her!

Zahara with Daddy Brad Pitt arrived in Cannes today.

This keeps getting stranger and stranger.  Tea’s hubby David went to rehab for a sex addiction, yes I said sex addiction.  What exactly that means no one knows.  Tea Leoni has pulled out of her scheduled appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival.   The cancellation, confirmed by Tea’s representative, comes after Tea’s husband David Duchovny - with who she has two children - checked into a rehabilitation center to receive treatment for his sex addiction. 

Tea had been set to attend the annual event to promote her new movie "Ghost Town," in which she stars alongside Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear.   Last week, David revealed he was seeking help for his addiction, releasing a statement reading: "I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

The 48-year-old actor - who previously denied being a sex addict - finished filming the second season of his hit U.S. TV show "Californication," in which as he stars as a womanizer, last month.   A representative from U.S. TV network Showtime, who broadcast the show, said: "All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time."   Source

Joan Rivers has hit out at Angelina Jolie – branding the actress "stupid".   The 75-year-old comedian slated the actress and mother-of-six during an interview on GMTV.   She said: "Well, I’ve worked with stupid actresses - I’ve worked with Angelina Jolie - she saw a sign that said ‘Wet Floor’ one time, and she did!

"I mean she’s attractive, but not a bright girl. Stunningly beautiful but stupid. She would have asked Stevie Wonder, ‘What’s your favourite colour?’"   It’s not the first time Joan has attacked celebrities. She slammed Victoria Beckham for being "arrogant" and was thrown off the set of Loose Women after calling actor Russell Crowe a "f***ing s**t".

She is too ridiculous.  If she looked in the mirror she would see the funniest thing is having so much plastic surgery not even her family can recongnize her.  These mean remarks are Joan getting more desperate for publicity!  Source

Sharon Stone with her son boyfriend is the latest Hollywood actress to embark on a May-December romance.  Sharon enjoyed a romantic night out with her current love interest boytoy Chase Dreyfous, who is more than half her age, 24. The pair first met in early July while working together on Sharon’s charity, Planet Hope.  Weeks later they were spotted getting cozy at a party thrown by fashion designer Christian Audigier on in Los Angeles.  So what do you think "Young at Heart" or "Pathetic"?
