007 Star George Lazenby has posted a moving tribute to the late Dame Diana Rigg. The British actress has died at the age of 82 following a private battle with cancer. Lazenby and Rigg appeared alongside each other in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, with Rigg playing the feisty Contessa Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo Draco. In the film, Diana played the first on-screen 'Bond girl' to win Bond's heart and become his wife, Tracy Bond. Tragically, the character was killed-off in a drive-by shooting at the film's conclusion. Now, one-time Bond actor George Lazenby, 81,...

James Bond is having trouble with his cell phone. “I seem to be having a bloody problem with this. It was acting up earlier this morning.” Turns out 007, or actually the actor who famously played the dashing spy just once, isn’t as tech savvy as his on-screen counterpart. George Lazenby is speaking from his home in Santa Monica, 50 years to the day since the release of his one and only James Bond film, 1969’s “On Her Majesty's Secret Service.” Once considered the forgotten Bond film, the movie is now viewed as one of the strongest entries in the...

They don't make 'em like they used to -- at least according to the guy who played James Bond in 1969, who's pissed the new Bond film has axed 007's signature martini ... in favor of a corporate-sponsored beer.

George Lazenby, an Australian who played James Bond a single time in the 1969 movie ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’, has revealed that he bedded a woman a day during his stint as the British spy.

Just got back from seeing, "Casino Royale," the new James Bond movie, the 21st installment. My reaction: Bring back Sean Connery . . . . Bring back Roger Moore . . . . Bring back George Lazenby . . . . Bring back almost anybody (but not Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan). This new dude, Daniel Craig, just doesn't cut it. He's DULL. No charisma, no charm, no suavity and debonaireness. Too old and haggard looking. And he's way too thin (scrawny) and small (hair's too short and ears stick out, too--like Alfred E. Neuman). Very blah. Not sexy. Nice...
