For some reason I am just attracted to all these Bond Girl rumors as yet another name has been thrown into the hat by the United Kingdom press. This time around it is the UK’s “Celebrity Big Brother” star Shilpa Shetty, a 32-year-old native of Tamil Nadu, India who certainly has the looks, but as for the acting I cannot comment since I have not seen any of her work.
Metro.co.uk reports that Shetty is about to ‘seal the deal’ as one of their sources tells them that ‘Shilpa is having secret talks with the top brass who are working on the next movie.’
The UK media tends to spread any rumor that comes their way when it comes to the famed Bond series and I don’t expect this to be the last one to come in regards to the upcoming James Bond 22, but judging by the pic to the right I am all aboard her looks. Perhaps based on the hottness factor Caterina Murino (#4 on our Bond Girl Top 40) added to Casino Royale they were looking for a girl with similar flair, and they may have found her.
Previous girls rumored up for the role include Abbie Cornish and Sienna Miller. The Cornish rumor has since been denied by her reps.
