CASINO ROYALE star EVA GREEN is delighted the much delayed 23rd James Bond movie is finally happening - hailing DANIEL CRAIG as "cool" and "edgy".
The former Bond girl was dismayed to hear about the problems surrounding the follow-up to 2008’s Quantum of Solace because of financial problems at the MGM film studio.
Executives eventually resolved the issues and the untitled 007 movie is due to begin shooting later this year (11) - and Green couldn’t be happier as she believes her former co-star Craig is one of the best Bonds ever.
She tells Total Film magazine, "I’m happy it’s happening, that’s for sure. Daniel Craig’s great, he’s quite raw, he’s edgy, he’s cool, he’s like a modern Steve McQueen." Craig previously worried that the delays would hinder his chance at reprising his role, admitting, "Either it was going to sort itself out or I was going to get too old and that would be the end of it. I was desperate to have another crack at it. I think I would have felt disappointed eventually."

Rocker BRET MICHAELS is suing a cruise operator over allegations bosses used "a fraudulent scheme" to get him to reduce his fee for two agreed performances.

He filed suit against bosses at Shoreline on Monday (08Aug11), blaming the promoter for failing to fulfil "contractual obligations".
Michaels is seeking damages, court costs and attorney’s fees, according to TheWrap.com.

JEFF BRIDGES was relieved to lose out on five Academy Awards - because he prefers his "under-appreciated status".
The Big Lebowski star was nominated for four Oscars before he finally walked away with a statue for the musical drama Crazy Heart in 2009.
Bridges was nominated again the following year (10) for True Grit and missed out once more, but he’s adamant he would rather be on the loser’s list.
He tells CNN’s Piers Morgan, "It’s a relief. When they don’t call your name, you’re like, ‘I don’t have to get up now!’ It’s wonderful (to lose). I think I even said it, (winning) blows my under-appreciated status. That’s a great place to be. That’s the place you wanna be. For all kinds of reasons, it’s nicer, to be not put on the spot of having to beat anything else." But the actor admits he also enjoys the recognition, "It’s wonderful to be acknowledged by your peers, by the guys who do what you do."

Actress FAYE DUNAWAY is heading to court in October (11) to fight her landlord’s attempts to evict her from a New York apartment.
The Oscar winner currently leases a one-bedroom, rent-stabilised apartment in Manhattan’s Upper East Side for just over $1,000 (£625) a month - almost half the going rate for the area.
Her landlord Henry Moses Jr. filed a lawsuit against the actress in a bid to have her evicted, claiming she’s not eligible for rent regulation as she spends most of her time in Los Angeles. State laws require tenants to use rent-controlled properties as their primary residence.
The star hit back by alleging the apartment was in a state of disrepair and offered up her keys to the landlord, insisting she had moved out in May (11).
Dunaway and her landlord’s attorneys met up on Thursday (11Aug11) before Judge John Stanley in New York City Civil Court, but the hearing was adjourned.
Dunaway has decided to fight against the eviction and will return to court on 04 October (11).
Her lawyer Elizabeth Shollenberger told reporters, "We didn’t come to a settlement today. She has not moved out. There’s water damage in the apartment that she said she’s been complaining about for years. For someone who is an older person, having water damage leads to all kinds of mould problems, respiratory problems."

American stars WE ARE SCIENTISTS have joined forces with Northern Irish rockers ASH to record a song for charity.
The two bands are teaming up for a cover of songwriter Robert Manning’s track Washington Parks to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
We Are Scientists bassist Chris Cain tells The Examiner, "The concept of the song is that if you listen to it on headphones or stereo, the musicians of Ash are on the left channel and all the We Are Scientists guys are playing it in the right channel.
