Daniel Craig’s 007 is back. Here’s the first official trailer

After a couple of accidents involving stunt vehicles, the makers of the latest Bond film, A Quantum of Solace, have finally treated us to a first look at the movie. It’s got car chases, speedboat chases, hot girls, and agents in tuxedos delivering Martini dry one-liners. It looks like a Bond film. We can’t wait until 31 October ‘08, when it’s released in the UK.

Supermodel graces Volkswagen’s expensive new campaign

The TV ad for Volkswagen’s latest Gol (the German company’s entry-level car in South America) features Brazilian supermodel Gisele Budchen. And if that isn’t a good excuse to publish a naked picture of her, we don’t know what is.

The big-budget ad, which cost a reported $5m to make, also stars a badly dubbed Sly Stallone. According to the media in Brazil, Gisele was paid a healthy $2.5m, while poor Sly had to make do with just $800,000.

Watch the ad below:

DC and Seb Bourdais chase some Spaniards

On current form, we’re surprised that Coulthard didn’t crash into anything, or anyone.

But as F1 PR stunts go, we concede that this one is pretty damn good - the donuts in the bull ring are especially cool.

Miss Grenada speaks out after being two-timed by McLaren star. And she’s not happy

.

Miss Grenada, aka Vivian Burkhardt, has ripped into Lewis Hamilton, after discovering that he had two-timed her with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

“His life away from the track is far from glamorous,” Burkhardt told the News of the Screws. “Despite his huge wealth, I hate his lifestyle and feel sorry for him. There he is in Switzerland, where he has no friends, no family, just this amazing four-bedroom flat in the richest part of the city - but it’s simply big and empty.”

What’s so wrong with a whorehouse on wheels?

Miami Beach undercover detectives who paid a $40 entry fee and got into a stretch limo discovered women onboard offering oral sex and lap dances for money. Weirdly, this is considered illegal in the States. Spoilsports.

The detectives arrested Christine Morteh, 29, and the driver, Clyde Scott, along with four other people. Morteh faces charges including offering to commit or engage in prostitution, conducting business without a licence, directing another to a place of prostitution and deriving support from prostitution.

God bless America.

Apply the brakes when I tap the dashboard…

The driver might want to think about getting his car’s brakes checked. That’s some fierce stopping power right there.

Lewis lurks in background at Nelson Mandela’s birthday bash

We told you last week about Lewis Hamilton taking his Pussycat Doll WAG to Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday dinner in London. Now here’s a pic of Lewis on stage at the event, albeit lurking on the sidelines. You can tell from the way the celebs are arranged, that Lewis is still some way from the top of fame’s fickle pecking order, behind Will Smith (Hollywood A-lister) and even Annie Lennox (self-righteous pop star, wearing her best humanitarian face).

Still, Lewis was clearly impressed by his encounter Mandela: “When I met him it was like walking in to see the king,” he said. “To be in front of God. He’s such a genuine guy. I’m sure he’s met millions of people in his life but he had so much patience with me. I was left speechless. I’ve never been speechless before.”

Luckless McLaren star involved in yacht scrape

Lewis Hamilton was involved in another crash, this time before the start of one of the world’s largest yacht races - at least this time it wasn’t his fault.
Hamilton was aboard the Open 60 Hugo Boss, with Olympic medallist Ben Ainslie (pictured with Lewis, above) and round the world yachtsman Alex Thomson on the Round the Island Race off the Isle of Wight, when it collided with the yacht Farr 45 Atomic. The Hugo Boss yacht was then disqualified.

“I am gutted because it is a beautiful boat and I have been to the front and the bow has been snapped off,” Lewis said, after the incident. “This is the first time I have been on a sailing boat. It is very technical and the cool thing is it has a lot in common with Formula One. It is very complex and I was very fortunate they allowed me to drive it for 30-40 minutes but surprisingly I did a pretty good job.”

Er, do you drive a boat? We think not.
