No female James Bond. That was the word yesterday from producer BARBARA BROCCOLI, who told Variety magazine "James Bond can be of any color, but he is male."
Fans have been wondering who the next Bond will be after DANIEL CRAIG's last film, "No Time To Die," coming in April.
There are female "Double-O" agents, however --actress LASHANA LYNCH will star as one of them in the upcoming movie.
BILLIE EILISH is set to sing the new James Bond theme in the film as well.CBS says REBA McENTIRE will show up as a guest star on a future episode of "Young Sheldon" next month. She'll reportedly play Coach Ballard's (CRAIG T. NELSON's) ex-wife.
If you've ever wondered whether those doggy doors could let a burglar or criminal into your house --it apparently happens. In California, a convicted sex offender was arrested attempting to break into a house that way. Fortunately, the house's owner spotted him before entering as he took off his pants and she called the cops.
Turns out he'd managed to cut off his ankle bracelet as well. Fortunately, the police arrived before he was able to get in and then chased and caught him shortly afterward.Just a bit less than two months --51 days-- until the Iditarod begins this year.
No, we haven't seen the last of VLADIMIR PUTIN, even though the Russian constitution forbids him from standing for re-election as president in 2024. Yesterday, Russia's entire government resigned, and observers say it's so that Putin will likely retain his power.
That's because the new changes in the Russian constitution will let their parliament appoint a prime minister --and it appears Putin will likely be taking over that role as he did in 2008, when he and DMITRY MEDVEDEV did it for four years.
But it appears the new changes would give the parliament more power, in effect still making Parliament's leader --Putin-- the country's leader when the reforms take effect. -
