Anyone who's seen him as Hannibal Lector knows just how bad he's capable of playing!
Sir Anthony Hopkins is reported to be in negotiations to play the big villain in the upcoming James Bond film, with the option to continue on into other editions in a recurring role!
A source explains:
"The only stumbling block seems to be the number of films he is signing up for. There is a chance the character they want him to play could become a regular feature, like Blofeld back in the day."
Wow! They certainly haven't done that kind of nemesis in quite some time!
But if anyone could pull it off, we have to admit, he's their best bet!

Sophie Ellis Bextor attended the 30th anniversary of Mamas and Papas last night working a clashing ensemble. She wore a checked coat over a floral striped dress. There used to be a rule about mixing patterns, but in fashion rules are made to be broken! This got me wondering, do you like to clash prints?
The actors camp believes Lorre had Sheen terminated because of the actors numerous personal attacks on him in the media, and not due to any moral turpitude.

Sing us a song, piano manlets start with Happy Birthday. New Orleanss Preservation Hallwhere Annie Leibovitz shot young Robert Pattinson, shown tickling the ol 88 with the world-famous Preservation Hall bandcelebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Situated in the French Quarter, the music venue is one of the countrys most hallowed: it was founded in 1961 for the purpose of preserving New Orleansstyle jazz, and indigenous American music. On his first-ever visit to the Quarter, Pattinson jammed with the house band and thoroughly held his ownhis celebrity perhaps subsumed by that of the musicians, whose legendary status awed everyone on set. When we first started, none of us knew that Robert really does play piano, says Ben Jaffe, the tuba player (center, above), the bands director, and the son of the venues founders. But when he got up there, he started ticking out these notes, and it was obvious he wasnt just tinklinghe really knew how to play.
Though the musicians were expecting the actor to just pose, Pattinson gamely jammed along with their tunes. After finishing a song, he leaned over to Jaffe and said, Thats the first time Ive played with a group of guys like that, Jaffe recalls. Not a shabby gigespecially with Jaffes homemade red beans and rice waiting as reward.
âTrue Bloodâsâ Joe Manganiello Promises âBoy-Sandwichesâ In New Season
True Bloods Joe Manganiello Promises Boy-Sandwiches In New Season
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
True Blood doesnt return to HBO until June, but series star Joe Manganiello gave AccessHollywood.com a taste of what to expect on the upcoming Season 4 the hunky actor revealed there are boy-sandwiches on the menu!
Access caught up with the newly engaged actor at PaleyFest 2011 over the weekend, where he revealed that the chemistry between his Alcide character and Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) will continue to keep Bon Temps plenty steamy. He also candidly addressed those Superman movie rumors and revealed the reason why he might start tuning into Dancing with the Stars.
Theres defiantly going to be some boy-sandwiches this year, Joe said of the upcoming new season. With Sookie in the middle, for sure!
The 34-year-old actor who is now a series regular also revealed that scheduling prevented the actor from screen testing for the Superman reboot title role, a part since filled by former Tudors star, British actor Henry Cavill.
At the end of the day they wanted me to screen test and they actually asked for my measurements for the suit and everything their shoot date switched and it would have taken up 11 weeks out of my True Blood schedule, Joe explained. At the end of the day, we couldnt get the schedule to work so that I could go off and screen test. So, regrettably, I never go to screen test, I never got to put the suit on.
Joe might be in the midst of filming the new season of the hit HBO vampire series, but he told Access he might find a little time for some reality TV escapism.
I might actually have to watch an episode of Dancing with the Stars now Ive never watched an episode now that Hines [Ward] is on, Joe a big time football fan and Pittsburgh native said of the Steelers wide receiver, who is competing on the ABC reality series.
Im torn. But, I do love the man, Joe added Whats great is that hell out here in LA filming, so hopefully Ill be able to go down and hang out with him.

After recently being a guest on George Lopez's Lopez Tonight over on TBS, last Friday Anne Heche dropped by CBS' The Talk, where illuminated ladies such as Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert and Sharon Osborune discuss a range of cultural topics. As you can imagine, Anne fit right in.
You can watch the full episode with Anne here, where she discusses the trial of being a mom, her past films, and of course, her hilarious role as Joan "O-Fox" Ostrowski-Fox in CEDAR RAPIDS. But, by far the best part of the episode was when Anne was challenged to a grocery-bag-off by former supermarket clerk Julie Chen--and well, the results speak for themselves. Thank goodness Anne took up acting, is all we have to say on the matter:
CEDAR RAPIDS is in theaters now, check our Theater Post for the skinny on where it's showing!
Demi Lovato took to her Facebook page to thank her fans for all the support shes received through her treatment and recovery. She is looking happy, healthy and ready to get her life back to normal.
Mike DeStefano, Former Last Comic Standing Finalist, Passes Away
Mike DeStefano, Former Last Comic Standing Finalist, Passes Away
Mike DeStefano, a finalist in 2010 on Last Comic Standing, has passed away. The 44-year old suffered a heart attack last night, just days before he was scheduled to anchor the one-man show A Cherry Tree in The Bronx in NYC.
The Bronx native finished fourth on the stand-up-based reality show last year. DeStefano, who was HIV positive, had overcome such obstacles in his life as drug addiction and the death of his wife.
A recovering heroin user, DeStefano was working as drug counselor in Florida when he offered to entertain the audience at a convention over a decade ago. He earned a positive response and his career took off from there.
In Bradley Cooper's new superhuman film, "Limitless," his character, Eddie Morra, is transformed from unemployed writer to golden boy after taking the environmental drug NZT. Co-starring is superstar Robert De Niro, of whom Cooper said, "It was everything I could've possibly dreamed. I cherished the two weeks I had him on set."
Cooper admitted he would probably do the same thing his character did if NZT were real. "Learn as many languages and dialects as I could. I have a bunch of instruments in my house that I don't know how to play, so I'd probably learn those."
On the other hand, a more realistic De Niro cautioned, "What goes up must come down... you pay a price for all that stuff."
When asked if they would consider doing a sequel, De Niro declared, "It's limitless."
Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Enjoy Date Night in Vancouver
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart jetted off to Spain well, a little piece of Spain amid the wintry gloom of Vancouver for date night on Saturday.
The couple, who are filming the Twilight movie Breaking Dawn in town, were spotted enjoying a late dinner at one of Pattinson's favorite small restaurants, the Spanish tapas bar La Bodega, downtown on Howe Street.
The pair, who were joined by costar Kellan Lutz, as well as Stewart's bodyguard and his date and three other friends, sat at a large table in the loft of the restaurant, tucked away in a corner.
After sharing a number of plates of tapas, they left around midnight and strolled back to their hotel about three blocks away with Pattinson and Stewart splitting off into one small group, and Lutz in another.
Pattinson and Stewart were both decked out almost all in black, clearly trying to keep a low profile but were in high spirits and being warmly affectionate with one another, swinging their hands back and forth and laughing.
Filming is expected to continue in Vancouver until mid-April.

Which Fashionable Lip Colour Looks Best on Julia Restoin-Roitfeld?
Which Fashionable Lip Colour Looks Best on Julia Restoin-Roitfeld?
The beautiful, and newly signed face of Lancôme, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld has been a busy bee over the past couple of weeks, especially this weekend in Paris as she made her way from Chanel to Givenchy wearing two different, yet equally show-stopping lipstick colours. This look is much more bold that what she was wearing at the Burberry Prorsum show when we chatted, and I actually really like both the soft and extreme styles on her. How about you, and if you had to choose, which is your favourite lip hue on the French fashionista?
Hall Pass and Gnomeo & Juliet came in fourth and fifth place with $9 million and $6.9 million, respectively.
