Rooney Mara was said to have been nervous beforehand but needn’t have been – the actress looked stunning in a soft white backless Givenchy Couture gown complete with cut-out side panels and sheer details.

Her glossy razor-cut fringe may have nodded to her character Lisbeth Salander signature style (tattoos and bundles of black leather) but actor Rooney softened the look with minimal make up, focusing attention on her shaded-in power brows.

Daniel Craig was suited and booted for the red carpet but upped the style ante too, wearing an edgy Matrix-style leather coat and patent brogues for to launch the world premiere of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo at Odeon in Leicester Square.

Good luck with that one!

Last week a quote from GQ magazine was released that shot Daniel Craig to the top of my favorites list. You know, the quote where he called the Kardashian’s “f-kng idiots”?

He said, “Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f–king idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’ I’m not judging it. Well, I am, obviously.”

Love it.

Guess who was uber pissed? Kris Jenner! In an interview with Heat UK, Kris was asked how she felt about the comments Daniel made. She said, “It [hasn’t] made him look like the world’s nicest guy. The right thing for a real man to do now would be to issue a public apology. The easy thing would be to criticize his career now, but our family won’t stoop to that level.”

Her “comeback” is sooooooooooo lame. “Easy thing would be to criticize his career”. Ok go ahead – I dare ya! What’s there to criticize? He’s one of Hollywood’s A-List actors, who RARELY makes a misstep in choosing films.

So b*tch PLEASE.

The Kardashians are everywhere. You feel it, I feel it, and Daniel Craig feels it. We’re tiring of them. They’re making us crazy.

In a new interview with British GQ, the James Bond star has labelled the Klan “f**king idiots” and criticized anyone who sells themselves for a buck.

Craig, who managed to keep his marriage to Rachel Weisz under wraps in the summer, told the January edition of GQ magazine: ‘I think there’s a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel.

‘It’s not about being afraid to be public with your emotions or about who you are and what you stand for. But if you sell it off it’s gone.

‘You can’t buy it back – you can’t buy your privacy back. Ooh I want to be alone. F*** you. We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta and now you want some privacy?

Referring to the Kardashians, Craig said: ‘Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them.

‘You see that and you think ‘what, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f***ing idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions.

‘I’m not judging it – well, I am obviously.’

In the article, he also opened up about his marriage to Weisz, and says he married in private for personal reasons.

‘Because we didn’t want it f*****d up, because that would be sharing a secret. And the whole point is that it was a secret. A secret is a secret in my mind.’

Refusing to go into any details about the ceremony, Craig added: ‘Look, I’m in love. I’m very happy. And that is as far as I’m prepared to go. Life is long, life goes wrong and I don’t want to say something now that might be thrown back later.’

The 43-year-old, who is now working on the 23rd Bond film, Skyfall, can soon be seen in the English language remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

But he says despite his lengthy and successful career, he is still not happy with how things stand.

He said: ‘I’m definitely not satisfied about my career. I don’t know how you can be, it’s the very nature of things.

‘I’m always trying to figure it out, and I’m kind of unsatisfied constantly. I always want to get it right and I don’t know what the answer to it is.

‘But I do know that it’s out there and I do know it’s worth looking for.’

I love Daniel Craig. I kind of don’t even mind that he and Rachel hooked up while they were both with other people (and you know how I feel about cheating). He’s cute, she’s cute, they should make babies.

This is one of the few movies I can’t wait to see. I didn’t read the books (I know, I know), but I did watch the Swedish films and I LOVED them. I find it hard to believe that anyone’s going to do better than Noomi Rapace, but I hope I’m wrong. The trailer for this movie gives me chills! Can’t wait.

When director David Fincher offered Rooney Mara the part of Lisbeth Salander, he laid out the stark reality of what she would be forced to endure. “I told Rooney, ‘You’re ­going to be emaciated, you have to be naked, you have to get raped [on screen], get pierced, smoke cigarettes, ride a motorcycle,’” Fincher recalls, in this week’s EW cover story. “‘I need you to really concentrate and tell me this is something you want.’” The actress didn’t even flinch. “There were certainly things I was scared to do, but I never thought I wasn’t up for the challenge,” she says. “The ­motorcycle was the thing I ­really didn’t want to do. You know, you’re ­going to be raped, be naked… But as soon as he was like, ‘You’re going to have to ride a motorcycle,’ I was like, ‘Oh, really?’”

Less than two weeks after Mara got the part, she found herself in a room at New York City’s Crosby Street Hotel, surrounded by strangers and about to radically transform her appearance. Hairstylist Danilo Dixon pulled Mara’s lovely brown hair back into a braid, asked if she was ready, and squeezed the scissors. He handed her the foot-long twist in a Ziploc bag (she still has it), then dyed and shaped what remained into Salander’s blue-black butch jag. Mara wasn’t too freaked out until he bleached her eyebrows, which was a tough adjustment. “I needed a moment,” she says. “I just had to process, okay, this is what you look like now.” She ­recovered quickly, though, and soon headed to Brooklyn to get her eyebrow and ears pierced (she had a nipple pierced in Sweden).

Fincher is obviously comfortable with controversy. Good thing: Fans of the book and the 2009 Swedish film — which stars Noomi Rapace and Michael ­Nyqvist and earned a respectable $10.1 million in the U.S. — will be watching closely for any perceived missteps. “We’ve got something very simple to deliver on,” says Fincher. “A gigantic f—ing book that people have very rigid preconceived ­notions of, to the point that they actually take umbrage with a teaser poster.” Ah, the teaser poster. In June, the ­Internet erupted over the provocative image of a topless Mara staring blankly into the camera while Craig wraps an arm around her in a pose some found protective. Many commenters thought the image made Lisbeth ­Salander seem uncharacteristically submissive. “I don’t buy that she’s ­being protected,” says Fincher. “It’s wholly subjective. I don’t think she looks weak. I don’t think she looks like she’s being protected. She may not look like the character that you had in mind or the character you’ve ­already seen, but she looks very much like the character in our movie.”

The movie opens Christmas Day.

The latest Bond Girls were officially revealed for the first time today, and here you can see them for the first time!

The cast behind Bond 23, appeared today for a photocall in London. The new movie has officially been named ‘Skyfall‘. (What do you think of the name?)

James Bond will again be played by the super sexy Daniel Craig. The villain will be played by Javier Bardem, and Dame Judi Dench returns as M.

French actress Berenice Marlohe (in the red) will play the glamorous Severine. Naomi Harris will play Eve.

“Skyfall” will hit theaters November 9, 2012.

What do you think of the new Bond girls?

The rape of Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” is the one incident that gives Lisbeth her quest for revenge. In David Fincher’s new movie, he admits he stuck as close to the disturbing events that Stieg Larsson laid out in his best selling novel.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Rooney Mara, who completely transforms to play the role of Lisbeth, described the difficulty — and importance — of making the rape scene as true to the book as possible.

“It was incredibly intense. We did it all in a week — the week of Valentine’s Day, oddly enough,” she remembered. “We were working 16 hours a day, and it was really, really challenging, not just emotionally but physically. But it’s such an important scene. We wanted to do everything we could to get that right.”

Director David Fincher hinted that the scene — and the subsequent revenge payoff — would be visually unforgiving in an interview earlier in the year with W Magazine.

“Sony and Scott Rudin [producer] told me they wanted to be in the adult-film-franchise business,” Fincher said. “And they said, ‘We want you to kick the A in adult.’ They already had a release date–December 2011–but I wasn’t sure I wanted to do another movie about a serial killer [following "Zodiac"]. Then I read the script, and I called Scott and said, ‘I can’t imagine why you thought of me.’”

Of course, about that last part, he was joking — Fincher is known, through films such as “Fight Club,” to be a director willing to brush up against boundaries of violence and brutality. Daniel Craig, who stars in the film as Mikael Blomkvist, confirmed as much in a recent cover story for Esquire.

“This is adult drama. I grew up, as we f*cking all did, watching ‘The Godfather’ and that, movies that were made for adults. And this is a $100 million R-rated movie,” he said. “Nobody makes those anymore. And Fincher, he’s not holding back. They’ve given him free rein. He showed me some scenes recently, and my hand was over my mouth, going, Are you f*cking serious?”

I cannot wait to see this movie! I watched the foreign versions (which I loved) and I absolutely adore David Fincher. It’s going to be hard to watch and dark like some of his past movies (Se7en, Fight Club).
