Mary-Kate & Ashley: Bond Girls?

Gossip writer Janet Charlton is reporting that one of the Bond producers wants Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to appear in the next 007 adventure.

First, let me be clear, I think there is a better chance of Desmond Llewelyn returning to play Q than for this harebrained idea to come to pass.

Why do I think it’s an insipid idea? Frankly if you have to ask, you and I are never going to have dinner together. The Olsen girls, bless their sweet multi-million dollar hearts, have what I would charitably call “untested acting ability.” I watched “New York Minute” (well I fast-forwarded to the scenes with Andy Richter at least) and let’s just say the ladies would make Denise Richards’ acting turn as Dr. Christmas Jones look like a master class by Vanessa Redgrave (now there’s an idea for a Bond girl!).

For some reason, Bond flicks always get the strangest rumors bandied about. Here are a few ideas for the next one that I would venture are slightly worse than casting former stars of “Full House” (somewhere Dave Coulier’s ears perked up)…

- Love the twins idea for Bond girls. Casting a young duo? I’m open to this too. Here’s the only pair that could top the Olsens: Prussian Blue! Remember these adorable rapscallions? They’re the blondies who like to sing and hate and hate and sing.

They make bigotry postiviely scrumptuous!

- Why not just re-cast 007 with one of the rumored contenders from a few years back? So what if everyone fell for Daniel Craig? We can do better! How about “General Hospital”’s Ingo Rademacher (my all-time favorite absurd supposed Bond also-ran).

- “Casino Royale” was great and all, but you know what would have been better? More time spent playing poker! There were moments in the film where I felt like I was back on my couch on a Saturday afternoon listening to Gabe Kaplan talk through a heads-up tournament of some sort. So we’re kind of poker-ed out. How to top it? Two words! Sudoku Tournament!

-You know what’s fun? Celebrity cameos! Cast every former James Bond in a fun role. Connery is clearly James, Sr. Roger Moore can be M (thanks for playing, Dame Judi, go make another “Riddick” movie). Pierce Brosnan can be James’ snooty older brother. And Timothy Dalton? Um…he can sing the opening song?

- Speaking of the song. I’ve got one high concept idea for you, Bond producers. Kill a couple birds with one stone. Pussycat Dolls! It’s one-stop shopping. You get your song and a gaggle of Bond girls to sprinkle through the flick.

How about it folks. How would you like to see the next Bond flick ruined?

    Plus, Bond girls are ALWAYS curvaceous. The Olsen twins were more attractive before they hit legal age. Now they look more like corpses, poor things…

    I like the idea of twins but not The Olsens. I think maybe Tia and Tammera Mowrey would be so much better. They are beautiful, able to be sexy, and nto children.
