Among the glitterati
Bond’s next mission

SECRET agent 007 has a not-so-secret message for Austin Powers: Laugh all you can now baby, the real thing hits movie theatres this November.

Pierce Brosnan, the current James Bond, says he is giving a thumbs up to the groovy 1960s spoof of the Bond character created by comedian Mike Myers for Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Myers has thrilled audiences with the ‘Powers’ movies — three in all — that spoof Hollywood spy flicks in general, and the 40-year-old, 007 mega-franchise specifically.

Bond’s fourth outing, Die Another Day, opens in November, the 20th Bond series movie since 1962’s Dr No, and Brosnan promises more plot twists and turns than fans have ever seen in a Bond movie. This time, Bond is working outside his super-secret British spy agency, and he’s not sure if they are giving him the right information.

 


Claudia Schiffer pregnant

German supermodel Claudia Schiffer is pregnant with her first child, three months after marrying British film producer Matthew Vaughn in a lavish English country wedding, her London spokeswoman said.

"We can confirm she is pregnant and has got through the first trimester,’’ the spokeswoman "Matt and Claudia are absolutely over the moon and think it is great news.’’ The couple married on May 25 at an English country church. The lavish wedding was shrouded in secrecy — the pictures reserved for a celebrity magazine — but celebrity guests , including German tennis player Boris Becker and designer Valentino said the model looked radiant.

Schiffer, who at 31 remains one of the world’s most photographed women, is said to have fallen for Vaughn after he gave her a tortoise.

Sean to ‘assassinate’ Nixon

Fourth Austin Powers movie

Hot off the success of the third Austin Powers movie, comedian Mike Myers says he wouldn’t mind doing a fourth version of the shagadelic spy spoof.

Austin Powers: Goldmember broke the record for the best box office opening by a comedy and Myers told an American TV show over the weekend that it was such fun to make he wants to do more. "With as much fun as we had doing this one, and with how much everyone enjoys these films, we should at least get together and talk about doing another one,’’ the Canadian-born funny man said.
