Gemma Arterton has hit out at the film world for putting women in the 'background' - and said that she has been seen 'as a piece of ass'. The former Bond girl, who was catapulted to global fame when she landed the role of Agent Fields in Quantum Of Solace, said that she had almost been tempted to walk off film sets in the past because of mistreatment.

There once was a girl from Madras

Who had a magnificent ass

Not rounded and pink,

as you probably think

It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.

THE HOLLYWIERD CREED (they do believe in something)

1. Christians are evil.

2. Women are to be valued only for their cleavage.

3. Traditional gender roles are artificial but feminism and homosexuality are government-protected lifestyles.

4. Self-esteem is paramount; government must undertake to guarantee each citizen-victim self-esteem no matter the cost.

5. The ACLU is good, because destroying religion and silencing believers are protected by the Constitution and the First Amendment; The NRA is bad because it defends the Constitution.

6. Standardized IQ tests are racist; racial quotas and affirmative action are not.

7. Conservatives are racists; everybody knows that Black people can't make it on their own without big-buck government assistance programs and Hollyweirdos to proselytize the message 24/7.

8. Abortion is a natural right. The Founders just forgot to put it in the Constitution.

9. Normal sex is perverted. Threesomes, bestiality, necrophilia, homosexuality are just new ways to get a thrill.

10. Moral indignation is a liberal's standard strategy for endowing our output with superiority.

11. Victimization is our basic belief by which we blame and find others responsible for our own personal failures, then expect taxpayers, deep-pocketed individuals, or the courts to bail us out. It feels good to be in the throes of "victimization" and either A) causing victims, B) concocting victims, C) playing victim, D) commiserating over victims, or E) creating another class of victims to bleed over.

12. It's a liberal's duty to treat Middle America in the manner of raising mushrooms, that is to say, keep them in the dark and feed them lots of horse manure.

13. Capitalism creates oppression; government creates opportunity.

14. The traditional family is archaic, constricting, with no redeeming value. Parents that try to guide their children's choices are restrictive. Kids need to be "free".

So what’s the carbon footprint for doing a ‘scene’ like that?

Pussy Galore was a real bond woman.

Diana Rigg had real acting talent.

Quantum of S*** was a pathetic excuse for a bond movie. Bond girls are hired for looks not acting.

Perhaps she believes her own PR.

fame is fleeting.

Gemma dear, your only job is to look pretty. You are a decoration, whose purpose is to be pleasing to men’s eyes so that they will by a movie ticket. You can either accept that, or get a different job. Complaining about something that made you rich and “famous” is annoying to those of us who perform essential functions for much less money.

I read it this way once: if you leave a t-bone on the picnic table, don’t act shocked when you come back and the dogs have slobbered on it.

I met Diana Rigg when I was an undergrad doing a semester in London. She was signing autographs for a Christmas benefit - I believe the cost was only 10p! Whatever it was, it was cheap because I was broke and could afford one.

She was as pretty in person (this was in the 70’s) as she was on TV, and gracious to the autograph seekers. I’ve always liked her.
