Idris Elba responds to James Bond speculation with cheeky retort

Bond Fonz

 

Idris Elba has responded to the furor over a black James Bond like a truly classy fellow. Earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh continued his break with logic and took to the airwaves to decry the idea of a black Bond. Limbaugh’s tantrum came in the wake of the revelation, brought to us by the Sony Hack Attack (#SonyHackAttack) that Sony exec Amy Pascal thinks Elba should take over playing Bond once Daniel Craig finishes his time in the character’s magnificently-tailored suit.

Silent throughout all of the furor–probably because it was Christmas, and he was otherwise occupied–was Idris Elba himself. Today, though, I-Elb took to Twitter and deflated the whole goofball scenario with one fell Tweet:

 

Well-played, sir. The high ground is yours. Though, given that R-Limb was on the other side of this particular “argument,” the high ground was pretty much always going to be yours.

By the by: Though both parties have expressed great interest, so far, reports of an Elba / Henry Winkler crime-fighting-and-cool-cat-being project entitled “Bondie and the Fonz” remain unfounded. We’ll keep you posted on any further developments.

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh revealed his new religion during a preliminary event at the Miss America Pageant called “Judge the Judges.”

The host introduced the talent portion of the “Judge the Judges” competition, explaining that they would be dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” Rush seemed reluctant at first, but then he must have heard the call because he started convulsing and speaking in fist pumps! I’ll let the video speak for itself…

Rush Limbaugh thinks Beyonce is telling women to “bow down” to their men, is he right?

ByLindsay

Beyonce just released a new song called “Bow Down / I Been On.” In the track, Beyonce encourages b**ches to bow down but also encourages to remember and respect their childhood dreams. The lyrics may appear to be offensive, but upon closer look Beyonce doesn’t appear to be encouraging women to be submissive or co-dependent. Unfortunately, Rush Limbaugh didn’t look that far into it and has taken aim at Beyonce for the new song.

Daniel Craig on his issues with jealousy, what he drinks, and if he’s anything like James Bond, plus sexy photos

ByStarcasm Staff

Skyfall starring 44-year-old Daniel Craig as James Bond has fallen to Twilight’s Breaking Dawn at the box office this week, but it fell nowhere near the level the previous Bond film Quantum of Solace it’s second week. Critics and fans are raving about the film, and it’s already the highest grossing domestic Bond film ever.

The man at the heart of it, Daniel Craig, who is probably the best bond since Sean Connery, may have lost out on People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive title, but there’s no doubt that his wife Rachel Weisc is a lucky girl.

The notoriously private British actor gave a playful and revealing interview to Rolling Stone this month where he talked about how he’s nothing like the tough guy he plays.
