There’s been so many stars linked to the upcoming Bond film and now our very own Chris Hemsworth has been named as a potential candidate.
Addressing the speculation in the August issue of Foxtel magazine, Chris said he’d gladly accept the role.
“I don’t know many who wouldn’t jump at that,” the father-of-three told the publication.
“Would it be scary and daunting [to play Bond]? Of course. But what isn’t?”
Meanwhile Idris Elba, another hot contender to take on the role, officially shut down claims he’ll be playing Bond.
“I mean, look, I’ve said it a million of times: It’s a great character and it’s an honour to be asked, but it is just a rumour,” he told E! News this week.
If Chris does indeed end up playing Bond, he’ll be the second Aussie to tackle the hearty role following in the footsteps of George Lazenby, who played James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

North Miami Assistant Police Chief Neal Cuevas told The Miami Herald that officers responded to a 911 call on Monday following reports of a man threatening to shoot himself.
When officers arrived, they drew their weapons however, Charles Kinsey, the carer of the 23-year-old man, told them there was no need for firearms and tried to explain what had happened.
“I am a behaviour therapist at a group home,” he explained.

Despite Mr. Kinsey’s attempt to defuse the situation, officers fired multiple shots, one of them striking his leg, NY Times reports.
“When I went to the ground, I’m going to the ground just like this here with my hands up, and I am laying down here just like this, and I’m telling them again, ‘Sir, there is no need for firearms. I’m unarmed, he’s an autistic guy. He got a toy truck in his hand,” he told WSVN-TV.
North Miami Police have not released the officer’s name, but an investigation into the incident continues.
Happy birthday to the most gorgeous little Royal, Prince George!
And what a year he’s had – from starting school to meeting President Obama, there’s no stopping the little Prince and to celebrate his big day, his proud mum and dad have released four new photos – and they are just DIVINE!
Here are five things you mightn’t have known about the third-in-line to the British throne:
1 He loves painting, George’s mother Kate revealed while talking to artists and students at an engagement in February. The Duchess has a degree in Art History, so the artistic bent runs in the family.
2 At eight months, George received his first marriage proposal, in Australia, when 10-month-old Grace Farrelly wore a “marry me George” T-shirt and paraded it in the front row in Brisbane.
3 Prince George received 523 gifts on his Australian visit last year, including a possum skin cloak and a customised surfboard.
4 In his first year, George proved quite a handful. Prince William said he was “a little bit of a rascal” who wriggles around “quite a lot” and wakes up at 3am with “a lion’s roar.”
5 Prince George’s Christmas gift from Santa was a smart wooden train set, which he now may have to share with his sister, Princess Charlotte.
Gorgeous George the birthday boy!
He’s grown up so much!
What a handsome little man!
With the family dog, Lupo.
Happy Birthday, cheeky boy!
He’s had quite the busy year!
First day at school

That smile!
He’s just too cute!
A good big brother: Here is Prince George with his sister, Princess Charlotte when she was just five weeks old.
The Duchess of Cambridge – who is an amature photographer – took these intimate snaps of her two beautiful children.
George is wearing Amaia Kids Blue France knee high socks with a Rachel Riley cotton shirt and baby blue shorts. Both are available as sets which sell for approximately $150 each.
So cute!
The first time we glimpsed tiny Prince George in his parents arms, he was already mastering the royal wave.
New mum, Kate, looked besotted with her husband and new son.
After the birth came Prince George’s first official portraits (complete with family dog Lupo!)
George didn’t look too impressed at his christening.
Before long he was crawling!
And walking!
A picture perfect family.
Made even more perfect by the addition of Princess Charlotte earlier this year.
Her sister Catherine may be Duchess of Cambridge (and the future queen) but Pippa will be getting her own aristocratic title when she weds fiancé James Matthews.
According to a new report by Express.co.uk, as part of a family inheritance on James’ father’s side, Pippa will eventually become Lady Glen Affric!
The 32-year-old’s future father in law is David Matthews and holds the title of Laird of Glen Affric, as well as owning a 10,000-acre Scottish estate in the Scottish Highlands.
His 40-year-old son James, Pippa’s intended, will inherit the title when David passes, which will bestow the title of Lady on Pippa as his wife.
James’ dad owns a title in Scotland.
Pippa stepped out and couldn’t help flashing that ring!
Meanwhile the brunette’s joy at being engaged is still written all over her face.
The bride-to-be stepped out for a walk on Thursday and was beaming from ear to ear.

Inquiries of vintage-inspired rings have spiked since the engagement.
She did a light spot of shopping and had her left hand placed in prime position for everyone to see her sparkling engagement ring.
Since the engagement announcement, many jewelers have said the inquiries about vintage style rings like Pippa’s had already soared.
Seems like her sister Kate isn’t the only one who can sell out an item just by wearing it!
Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda Williams has paid tribute to her late father on what would have been his 65th birthday.
The 26-year-old took to social media to share an intimate family snap accompanied by a heartbreaking message.
“Still not really sure what to do on days like today… I know I can’t give you a present anymore, but I guess that means I’ll just have to keep giving them in your name instead,” she wrote.
Zelda has been getting much more involved in charity work since her father passed as a way to channel Robin’s generous spirit.
Zelda posted this throwback family photo alongside the tome she penned for Robin.
The world still misses Robin’s comedic genius.
She took his birthday as an opportunity to speak about the work she’s done.
“This year, I tried to help three causes you cared about in one; rescue dogs, people suffering from disabilities, and our nation’s wounded veterans, so I donated to freedomservicedogs.org,” she explained in the message aimed at her actor father.
Zelda talks about the heartache of losing her father and what she does to cope in the video below. Post continues.

“They rescue pups from shelters and train them so that they can be paired with someone in dire need of their help and companionship,” she explained.
“Thought you’d get a kick out of furry, four legged friends helping change the world, one warrior in need at a time,” she penned.
Zelda was very close to her father.
She says she misses him “like crazy”.
“Happy birthday Poppo. Shasha, Zakky, Codeman and I all love you and miss you like crazy. Xo.”
She shared the heart-felt message alongside a gorgeous throwback family photo featuring Zelda and her siblings, Zachary and Cody, all hanging off the funnyman actor.

While we already know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, there’s actually a whole range of foods your body needs in order to function at its best.
We’re sorry to say it, but ticking off your 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of veg, although still fabulous for you, simply won’t cut it if you want to ensure that you’re doing the best job of fuelling your body with everything it needs to take on the world.
So to help, we’ve created a list of the top 5 foods you need to incorporate in your everyday diet, and the very important reasons why you should do so.
1. Tomatoes
These glorious red gems are absolutely chock-a-block with vitamins A, C, K and B6 and the antioxidant lycopene.
The strong antioxidant power found in this carotenoid helps to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration and lung, skin, and prostate cancers.
Snack on a handful of cherry tomatoes each day to put your best foot forward.
2. Yogurt
Of course, yogurt is a wonderful and delicious source of calcium and protein, but its true power comes from the millions of live cultures that serve as probiotics or what we call ‘good bacteria’ in gut.
This beneficial bacteria not only helps to boost your immune system, but also aids in maintaining a healthy balance that can otherwise be thrown out by sugars and alcohol.
Pop some yogurt on your cereal in the morning, or swap sour cream with Greek yogurt on your soups or baked potatoes.
These delicious little bulbs contain incredible antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties – all of which help to strengthen your immune system and fight off disease.
Experts say consuming six or more garlic cloves a week can halve your risk of stomach, prostate and colorectal cancers, compared to those who only eat one clove or less.
Stop worrying about garlic breath, and be liberal with this incredible bulb!
4. Beans
The childhood rhyme got it right when they said beans were good for the heart. Not sure about the second half though…
Never mind the rich source of antioxidants, the dietary fibre found within these little legumes soak up cholesterol, helping the body to expose of it before it sticks to the artery walls.
Add a handful of beans to your salads and soups, or blend them up with feta, lemon and garlic to make a delicious dip.
Did you know that tomatoes also act as a natural protection against the sun?
5. Avocado
Not only are avocados super Instagram worthy, they’re also an incredible component to your healthiest body.
Avocados are higher in potassium than bananas, extraordinary for healthy vision, and just one half contains around 25% of your daily vitamin K intake, which is essential for healthy bones.
Try using avocado and a substitute for butter on your Vegemite toast, in salads or by itself because hey, it’s delicious!
Miley Cyrus loves avocado so much, she even got a tattoo of the fruit!
As an astrologer, Jessica Adams gets asked a lot of strange questions about her profession.
Her love for horoscopes began when she was a teenager and only got stronger when she bought one of her very first astrology books by Richard Sterling from The Australian Women’s Weekly.
She then kickstarted her career at Elle magazine as their astrologist and she has uncannily been predicting truths ever since.
Jessica Adams
Here, Adams, who is also an author, tells us the questions she gets asked over and over again.
How do you work out your predictions?
“I use software which shows me the positions of all the heavenly bodies, at any moment in the past, present or future. From that, I read the patterns and make predictions, using the ancient rules of astrology.”
Can you tell what sign I am?
“Maybe, mister, if I hadn’t heard that pick-up line eleventy million times.”
How can one-twelfth of the population have the same future?
“How can Australians have the same future (barbecues) on Australia Day? How can the British have the same future (bonfires) on Guy Fawkes’ Night? How can Americans have the same future (fireworks) on Independence Day?”
Did you qualify as an astrologer?
“There was no university degree offered in astrology when I was young. I graduated as a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Ancient Civilisations, Philosophy and Religious Studies instead. That way, I got to write essays about astrology.”
What’s the best prediction you ever made?
“Brexit. It was made almost a year in advance against all the opinion polls. I needed pants of steel for that one!”
Adams will be providing daily horoscopes and predictions for The Weekly website from next week (Monday July 25), so be sure to tune in right here to see the latest from her.
The 32-year-old is positively growing and is taking a significantly more relaxed approach to pregnancy the second time round.
Mila chatted to US breakfast show Live with Kelly to promote her new comedy Bad Moms.
Of course attention quickly turned to focus on the starlet’s personal experience to being a mum to 21-month-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle with husband Ashton Kutcher, while expecting baby number two.
Check out her chat in the video player below… Post continue!

“The other day, someone asked me how far along I was and I was like, ‘I have no idea,’ ” she laughed.
“I was like, I can tell you when I’m due, and then I can do the math backwards.”
Mila seems to be at ease as she awaits for her baby.
“With [my first pregnancy], I could tell you precisely what she was developing, and what stage it was … but [with] the second one, I’m running after a toddler or I’m working, so I’m like, ‘Oh that’s right, I’m pregnant,’ ” she admitted.
Ashton’s wife also revealed her latest flick was her first project between babies one and two.
“[This is] the first time that I’ve ever left my daughter for three days. It’s rough,” the pretty brunette admitted.
“I have a thing called Nest Cam in my family room, so I totally spy on my kid eating breakfast.”
Adding, “And then I talk to her and she thinks Mommy lives in a camera, which is frightening and horrible anyway. But it’s rough. It’s hard being away from your kid.”
Mila is lapping up her pregnancy, and even opted to change her hair for a red carpet event.
The That ’70s Show actress also opened up about her current cravings – eggs, which she joked she could “eat all day!”
Unfortunately the same couldn’t be said about meat.
“I can’t eat meat. It’ll look delicious to me, and I’ll take a bite of it and I’ll be like, ‘Uh-uh. Can’t do it,’ ” the mum-of-one explained, adding that ground meat, like a burger, is completely fine while a whole piece of meat like a steak isn’t.
After Lamar Odom‘s most recent outburst, Khloe Kardashian has come to the point where she’s preparing for the worst case scenario – his death.
“Khloe feels helpless,” says an insider close to the starlet.
Lamar’s been on a downward spiral for a while, but things came to a head last week after he was kicked off an flight after vomiting all over the aisles and bathroom, with onlookers claiming he was ‘wasted and unsteady.’
Just a day later, he got into a fight with a photographer while leaving a strip club at around 3.15am.
“Lamar seems to have relapsed back into drink and drugs and she doesn’t think he can get sober. She’s now saying she can’t do any more for him and that her last act of love is planning Lamar’s funeral, so his kids don’t have to do it,” a pal tells Heat magazine.
“His father, Joe, is destitute; his mom died when he was 12, and he has hardly any other family.
“Khloe is speaking with a funeral home in Queens [New York, Lamar’s hometown], and she’s got the blessing of Liza Morales [his ex and mum to his children Destiny, 18, and Lamar Jnr, 14] to do this.
“She’s also consulted lawyers about setting up a scholarship fund for the kids.”
Since Lamar nearly died after falling into a coma at a Nevada brothel last October, Khloe has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting him.
She’s paid for all his medical bills, rented him a home, and has been including him in family occasions, with him even appearing on KUWTK for the first time since their 2013 split.
Things went downhill again pretty quickly though, after Lamar was spotted drinking in a bar in May. More recently, Khloe reportedly kicked Lamar out when she discovered a crack pipe in the house.
Now, Khloe’s in the process of re-filing for divorce from Lamar, after even refusing to go to rehab.
“Khloe is devastated. She can’t believe it’s got to this point,” a friend reveals.
