“Penelope Cruz Cast as Latest Bond Girl In The Skyfall Sequel!” announces a headline from Perez Hilton.
The blogger claims Cruz “will play opposite Daniel Craig in the 24th official James Bond film,” and will be “the oldest femme ever to get fatale with the super spy!”
Perez quotes a supposed “insider” as saying, “She’ll be a great Bond girl. Bond girls are always brainy as well as sexy, and that’s totally Penelope.”
Totally.
The blogger goes on to wonder, “The real question is whether Penelope’s character will have anything to do with hubby Javier Barden’s villainous Silva from Skyfall.”
“We’re guessing director Sam Mendes saw her visiting Javier [Bardem] on set and just knew he had to have her!” offers Perez.
And we’re guessing that the so-called “reporter” once again neglected to fact-check one of his stories.
Well, Gossip Cop did, and we learned that the rumor is completely FALSE.
A close Cruz insider tells us “it’s not true” that she’s going to be the next Bond girl.
