James Bond star Daniel Craig has blasted Kim Kardashian and her family for getting paid millions of dollars to act like “f****** idiots” on TV. In an interview with GQ magazine, the 43-year-old actor addressed the reality star’s 72-day marriage to basketball ace Kris Humphries, saying that he married actress Rachel Weisz in secret back in June to avoid media interest — unlike Kardashian. “Look at the Kardashians, they are worth millions. Millions! I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them,” he said. He added: “You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f****** idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’ I’m not judging it.

We did it privately and we’ve got a lot of people to thank for that.” He added: “You can’t buy your privacy back. The whole point is that it was a secret. A secret is a secret in my mind.”

Taylor Lautner has revealed that his Twilight fame helps him to make friends on nights out. The 19-year-old, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the franchise, said that while he may have lost his privacy, at least he’s never lonely. “You want to go out and sometimes that is difficult, but if I were to randomly go out I would meet a lot of people and I would definitely make some more friends!

Kristen Stewart has advised parents to think carefully about letting youngsters watch her gory Twilight birth scene. The actress’s character Bella Swan gives birth to a half-vampire, half-human child after marrying on and off-screen boyfriend Robert Pattinson in Breaking Dawn — Part 1, and said that it’s definitely a stomach turner. “It’s PG-13, but it’s pretty graphic and bloody. If it is too much for somebody who is younger, than discretion should definitely be used by parents,” she told Parade magazine. “But it should be impactful, it should be scary. You have a story about somebody who has been fighting for what she believes in. Bella is going, ‘I’ll die for my baby, I’ll do anything for it.’ I hope it doesn’t scare people, but on the other hand, I hope it does.” Meanwhile she revealed that she was able to connect with the role of a mother because one of her friends had just had a baby. “I don’t think it’s so far-fetched for someone my age to be having a child,” the 21-year-old said. “Oddly, circumstances lined up so that one of my best friends in the world just had a baby. I definitely related to the maternal aspect of Bella very strongly, especially because it’s really the main subject of the movie.”

Michael Lohan was back in custody less than 12 hours after being released from jail — after reportedly jumping from a third floor balcony as police arrived at his hotel. The 51-year-old was in front of a judge yesterday after allegedly beating his on-off girlfriend Kate Major despite her having an injunction to stop him from contacting her. Before being released on bail, the troubled dad of Lindsay Lohan was told in no uncertain terms by a Florida judge that he was to stay away from her. But Major contacted police early this morning claiming Lohan had been trying to get in touch with her and wouldn’t leave her alone, according to TMZ. As officers interviewed her at her apartment, he allegedly called again. They deemed him to be a ‘threat’ so they went to his hotel to arrest him, according to the gossip website. He then reportedly tried to escape police by jumping from his third story balcony and ended up falling into a tree. After officers pulled him down, he was reportedly placed under arrest for violating a pre-trial release and resisting arrest without violence.

Orlando Bloom has revealed that he didn’t find out who his real father was until he was 13. The 34-year-old British actor grew up thinking that political activist Harry Bloom — who died when of a stroke when Orlando was just four — was his dad until his mum Sonia confessed that he was actually fathered by ‘family friend’ Colin Stone. Now married to Miranda Kerr with a baby son of his own, the Lord Of The Rings star admitted that he struggled to get his head around the situation. He told The Sun that one of the defining moments of his childhood was, “losing my father, or my mother’s husband, who I thought was my father. “That was pretty interesting, and then finding out when I was 13 who my father really was. “I think I reacted pretty well for a 13-year-old. I was lucky because my dad is a huge part of my life today and he’s super excited about being a granddad, and I’m excited about it too, so he’s amazing. “But it was a pretty tricky thing to figure out when you are a kid.”

Keira Knightley has revealed that she operated a strict ‘no touching’ policy for a spanking scene in her new movie, A Dangerous Method. The 26-year-old British actress plays real-life psychoanalyst Sabina Spielrein in the film about the birth of psychoanalysis. She said that she warned Irish actor Michael Fassbender to keep his distance during the raunchy scene. Speaking at the UK premiere at the London Film Festival, she told The Mirror, “I actually said to him before we shot the spanking scenes, ‘If you touch me I will kill you’, and he did remind me that I was tied to a bed at the time and really I shouldn’t be making any threats. “The film is about so much more than S&M, but [those scenes] weren’t particularly easy.” But apart from the spanking, she said the rest of the movie was a ‘dream come true’. “It’s important to push yourself,” she said. “I don’t want to do the same thing again and again and again and I don’t think people really want to watch that, and sometimes I’m going to fall flat on my face and I think I have done that, and will continue to do that but hopefully there will be some gems in there that are really interesting as well.”

I’m more of a commando man myself, but I thought I’d go silky smooth.” Bloom was also asked about being a dad after he and wife Miranda Kerr welcomed their little boy Flynn in January this year. He said: “I absolutely love it, we’re very lucky because he’s a very happy baby. He is on a plane all the time so if he wasn’t a happy baby and happy with mum and dad, he would be a nightmare. But he is gorgeous.” Asked if he was there for the birth, he said: “Yep… the crowning. Is that what they call it? It was long, it was 27 hours. “It was long, very long. It was a brutally long time but she was amazing, she was just amazing. It’s quite a life-changing thing to see someone go through that much pain.”

Simon Cowell is reportedly kicking bottoms after the UK X-Factor lost two million viewers. The music mogul — who is currently in Los Angeles working on the US X-Factor – is said to have “torn a strip” off producers on the program, and judges Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh, Kelly Rowland and Tulisa could also be in line for a stern talking to. According to The Sun, Cowell intends to tell the foursome to “raise their game” after just 11.4 million viewers tuned in on Saturday — down 700,000 from last week and 2.3 million less than the same time last year. An insider said: “Simon is furious. This would never have happened on his watch and he wants the team to know this and sort it out. He knows there is great talent on the show, but he thinks the attention to detail has been shocking. The acts are not being showcased at their best. Say what you like about Simon, but he spends ages dithering over the tiny details to make sure everything is perfect. There’s no way he would have sanctioned some of those song outfits or choices. The figures are hugely disappointing for The X Factor because the whole point of the live shows is that they are supposed to build momentum. Last year there were nearly 14 million watching the second live show. Where have all those viewers gone? It’s no wonder Cowell has gone ballistic. Losing viewers is the last thing he wanted to happen.”

Speaking to Movies.ie, he said: “Yeah, that’s why I did the movie actually. I’m not sure I would have wanted to play D’Artagnan. “I wanted to do something like play the bad guy, D’Artagnan is a great role, but I think Logan [Lerman] is 18 and he’s playing an 18-year-old and that’s the character. “He was 18, and I think that this [is] the first time that that’s ever happened. I mean, I saw a Douglas Fairbanks silent movie and he was 60 or something playing D’Artagnan! “But when I sat down with Paul Anderson and also with the producer, Jeremy Bolt, I hadn’t read the script, yet they said: ‘When we thought of this, we thought of you, and we were thinking this would be a really interesting turn, a real difference, a new shift, a new take on something.’ “And I was like: ‘Great, great.’ So I read it and I just enjoyed it.”
