Has Rachel Weisz fallen head over heels for James Bond? Actress linked with Daniel Craig after split from partner

There aren’t many women who can resist the magnetic charm of James Bond. And it seems Rachel Weisz may be the latest to fall under the spell.

The British actress is said to be smitten with Daniel Craig, who has played 007 in the latest two films, after splitting with her long-term partner, director Darren Aronofsky.


Miss Weisz, 40, is believed to have grown close to Craig while they played husband and wife in forthcoming thriller Dream House.

Jast night, a source said the actress was ‘head over heels’ for Craig, 42, who is engaged to producer Satsuki Mitchell.

A close source said: ‘Rachel and Daniel simply sparked during the filming of Dream House in Canada. They have great chemistry.

‘Darren’s such a good and responsible man, but Daniel’s the opposite extreme, he’s brooding and mysterious. Darren and Rachel have simply grown apart, they spent long periods away from each other, moving in different directions.’

Taylor Swift and country music dominate this week's Billboard 200 albums chart

Taylor Swift and two of her country peers top the Billboard 200 albums chart this week. Swift’s Speak Now again reigns supreme. In its second week it experienced a substantial but expected drop off from its one million copy debut, selling 320,000 albums. Jason Aldean‘s My Kinda Party opens at No. 2 with 193,000 records sold. While Sugarland‘s once No. 1 The Incredible Machine drops one spot to No. 3 with 60,000 sets moved.

Brad Paisley joins the three country stars in the top 10 this week as well. His greatest hits set, Hits Alive debuts at No. 9, selling 31,000 albums. Check out the list of the Billboard 200′s top 10 below.

Symbian still on top, but Android catching up

Android captured the second-highest global market share of all smartphone operating systems in the third quarter, according to data released today by Gartner.

Driven by its year-long surge, Google's mobile OS took home a 25.5 percent share of the global market, jumping from just 3.5 percent a year ago. Though still on top, Nokia's Symbian continued to lose ground with a 36.6 chunk of the market, down from 44.6 percent in the year-ago quarter.



Android phones have taken off in part because they can hit different consumer segments, says Gartner. Samsung has done well with high-end phones like the Galaxy S. But lower-priced models are also proving popular as evidenced by ZTE's recent launch of a low-cost Android phone available in the U.K. as a prepaid package. Google is also trying to keep Android moving along by quickly releasing updates, with each one bringing in new features, some innovation, and a bit of polish to the operating system, according to Gartner.

Samsung Galaxy Tab fulfills its destiny, now available on T-Mobile for $399


Nothing unforeseen here, folks, just a friendly reminder that Samsung's Galaxy Tab has kept to its release schedule and is now available to purchase from T-Mobile USA. $399 gets you the 7-inch Tab plus a two-year contract with the American arm of Deutsche Telekom, or you can pay the full $599 and make off with just the tablet itself. Or you can even wait an extra day for Verizon to start dishing Android slates your way as well -- the choice, as always, is yours. Just try not to think about that gorgeous 7-inch Super AMOLED panel that Samsung's busy showing off in Japan right now.

Sprint ZTE Peel Turns Your iPod Touch Into the Pseudo-iPhone It's Always Wanted to Be


Our first thought when we got ahold of a MiFi: Why not build this into an iPod touch case? All the benefits of the iPhone, minus AT&T's horrible service. That's Sprint's ZTE Peel case.

The ZTE Peel is an iPod touch case with a built-in 3G hotspot. It's a little gimped compared to a full-on hotspot, though, and pricier too. It costs $80, only supports two devices at a time, and a piddly 1GB of data runs $30 per month (albeit, contract free). To compare, Sprint's OverDrive with 4G service costs $50, and for $60 a month you get 5GB of data over 3G and unlimited 4G data.

The biggest compromise? It also turns the super skinny iPod touch into kind of a fattie.

Kim Kardashian: 'I Want to Fall in Love'

Kim Kardashian is embracing something she never thought she would: the single life.

The 30-year-old star of E!'s Keeping up with the Kardashians has moved from one long-term relationship to the next since her teens.

"There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship," Kardashian tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story, "and I thought that was the most important thing."

Not anymore. These days the business-savvy star says she feels "powerful" being on her own. While her sisters Kourtney, 31, and Khloé, 26, have focused on motherhood and marriage, Kim says she has surprised even herself by choosing a more career-oriented path.

"Is it weird that I'm now the single one? It's definitely a change for me," she admits. "I have always been the one in a relationship. I like that role, I want that best friend partnership."

Ke$ha Wears a Bikini!

The party don't start 'til Ke$ha walks in...wearing a skimpy bikini!

Hanging out with pals at North Bondi Point beach in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday, the "Tik Tok" singer, 23, doffed her typically glittery, technicolor wardrobe.

For her sunny holiday, Ke$ha (real name: Kesha Rose Sebert) sported a black, two-piece bikini. See more pics of Ke$ha's bikini bod.

The star -- whose new song "We R Who We R" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 last week -- recently sniped at critics who slammed her singing skills.

"I don't have the best body in the world," she told Seventeen mag, "but I know for a fact that I have a really good voice."

Google Gets Feisty, Kicks Data Portability Fight With Facebook Up A Notch

As I’m sure you’ve learned by now, Google recently blocked Facebook API access to download Google contacts. Facebook hacked its way around that, and Google subsequently issued a statement that they were “disappointed”. Facebook Platform engineer Mike Vernal then responded in the comments of one of our blog posts about the slap fight, defending Facebook’s policy and calling it – cough – “consistent”.

And the battle of the Web giants continues.

Take a look at what Google is telling users who would like to download their Gmail contacts’ information and import the data into Facebook (first spotted by Digitizor):

Slim Gingerbread "Anzu" Phone From Sony Ericsson Leaks, Showing 4.3-Inch Screen


It seems we weren't the only ones doubting Sony Ericsson's future. In a poll last month, you guys voted on exactly when the company will die—and the results ain't pretty. Will this super-slim Android-running Anzu save them?

It's been leaked by the Xperia X10 blog, and is rumored to be their next flagship phone (taking over from the Xperia X10). Will it show up with the Xperia moniker later? Quite probably—ANZU is just the codename, for now.
