Hollywood has been trying to get a Wonder Woman movie off the ground for years with several actress linked to the role: Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Lost‘s Evangeline Lilly. Now there’s a new contender for the role: Beyonce – who obviously forgot about Halle Berry’s Catwoman which turned out so awesome. The LA Times reports:
“I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume. The way that Lynda Carter wore it, she was sooo fine. She was amazing. I saw her costume at the Met. Her waist was unbelievable. It was pretty crazy, actually, her proportions. But I love Wonder Woman and it’d be a dream come true to be that character. It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy.
Now I have to do an action film. It’s like dancing and choreography. And the superhero movies now, they’re not corny, not corny at all, so that’s what I want to do. And I would love if it could be Wonder Woman.”
While my initial reaction to a black Wonder Woman mirrors that of a black James Bond, I’m going to be flexible on this one. Only because the most recent incarnation of Wonder Woman was Kim Kardashian’s cellulite-hiding Halloween costume. I don’t want to say she’s opened the door for other celebs whose asses have no business being crammed into Lycra, but would it hurt to let Beyonce try on the costume? Then maybe wrestle Kim. You know, as a beacon of how far we’ve come as a nation.

Daniel Craig, an outspoken Barack Obama supporter despite not being a U.S. citizen, thinks it might be time for a black James Bond. According to The Scoop:
Craig, the first blond Bond, told the British press, “After Barack Obama’s victory, I think we might have reached the moment for a coloured 007.”I think the role could easily be played by a black actor, because the character created by Ian Fleming in the ’50s has undergone a great deal of evolution and continues to be updated,” he said. “I’ve always been a fan of Obama. The political ideas that have emerged from his speeches seem to me to be genuine.”
Look, I’m as open minded as the next guy, but what the hell is Daniel Craig talking about? James Bond isn’t black. It’s about as simple as that. You can’t just go around replacing characters to be progressive. It’d be like having Shaft played by an overweight Mexican woman. What’s that? Making a movie about He-Man? Well let’s go ahead and cast an Asian guy. Or better yet, how about this watermelon?

Kate Moss wore a see-through shirt while shopping yesterday in Hollywood and has to really be contemplating never leaving the house. In the meantime, if this is your first time seeing Kate’s nipples, welcome to the Internet. Allow me to cover the basics: There’s porn, and there’s political discussions where you can write horribly racist shit anonymously without getting your ass beat. I hear there’s other things you can do online, but yeah, that about sums it up.NOTE: Pics link to NSFW versions, so don’t get canned squinting at your monitor. I’d miss you. Heart <3
