My night at the BAFTAs
Curtsying to Helen Mirren, threatening to arrest Idi Amin - and being called "a fucking fool" by Daniel Craig

I am standing at the heart of the glittering glamour-dump of the BAFTA awards, and He is walking towards me. It is Bond. James Bond. His expression is an angry blank, because he has just gunned down dozens of Armenian bomb-makers. (Or perhaps because he has failed to win the Best Actor award). I was sitting almost directly above him when the award slipped from his bloody grasp barely an hour ago, and he offered a forced hard handclap, each meeting of his hands representing another small fracture in his heart. I knew then Our Time had come. What Daniel Craig needs now to comfort him, I declared to the people sitting in the Royal Opera House with me, is the love of a fat homosexual. ... Читать дальше »

Craig, 39, beat Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen, Johnny Depp for Pirates of the Caribbean and Leonardo DiCaprio for The Departed to the title.

Casino Royale, the movie which saw Craig wow critics and audiences alike for his gritty Bond debut, was named Best Film.

The gong is good news for Craig, after he went away empty-handed from the Baftas despite making history by being the first Bond to be nominated.

French actress Eva Green, 26, was named Best Female Newcomer for her role as Bond's Vesper Lynd, while Superman Returns star Brandon Routh, 27, took Best Male Newcomer.

Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, 32, won the Best Actress Empire Film Award for her role in Volver, pipping Oscar-winner Dame Helen Mirren, 61, for The Q ... Читать дальше »

We all know Sir Elton John likes a spot of dressing up, and he didn't disappoint at his 60th birthday bash, donning his best military tackle.

Walking hand-in-hand with partner David Furnish, who was dressed as a US Marine, Sir Elton celebrated his 60th year – and artist Sam Taylor-Wood's 40th – at a fancy dress party in the East End.

The black-tie affair at Shoreditch Town Hall was studded with other celebs including Hugh Grant, Sting and Thandie Newton.

Birthday girl Sam led the way in a floor-length 40s white evening gown, while Daniel Craig sported a pin-strip gangster suit and Stella McCartney wore a long army greatcoat.

Sorry, Elton, but we think you're more Dad's Army than military chic.

Sienna, 23 – who became close to Daniel, 37, when she played his lover in gangster film Layer Cake two years ago – had finished performing in As You Like it at London’s Wyndham’s theatre before dining with friends at swanky eaterie The Ivy.

And she was joined by Daniel a minute later. An insider said: "It was all very strange. Sienna was dining with friends and seemed quite distracted when Daniel joined her.

"Their behaviour was bizarre. Instea ... Читать дальше »

Britain's biggest stars could all be found on BBC1 last Friday, using comedy sketches and live performances to raise money for the 2007 Comic Relief benefit. But of those who participated, the biggest buzz came from comedian Catherine Tate's contributions - reports the DailyReel.

Taking on such pillars of British society as Tony Blair and Doctor Who, Tate dominated the night -- especially when she met the biggest icon of them all.

With his confidence, talent, and ability to rock a tux, the new James Bond was already destined to become an ... Читать дальше »
