Bond Girls = HAWT.

With that said, rumors are afloat that Bollywood sensation Shilpa Shetty is an early frontrunner to be the next busty, curvy, succulent, tasty, creamy, dreamy, steamy Bond Girl.

Bond 22 (working title), scheduled for release on November 7 of next year, will feature Daniel Craig reprising his role as Bond with Marc Forester handling directorial duties.

The question is, can she stand alongside immortal boner-bait like Ursula Andress, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry and Eva Green?

Yes, yes, yes.

As for the earlier rumor about a certain wobbly waif possibly playing Bond’s sidekick/sex-kitten: No, no, no.

Shetty, an Indian bombshell of the likes I’ve not seen since Sameera Reddy placed my junk in a constant state of flux, seems more than capable of (man)handling James Bond. She has starred in close to 50 full-length films (unfortunately, that’s not as good as it sounds), speaks approximately 10,000 different languages and has a black-belt in karate. Yeah, she’s pretty cute. A real cutie-pie. Even eco-lothario Richard Gere couldn’t take his hands off her.

Earlier this year Shetty was the winner of Celebrity Big Brother UK, much to the chagrin of jealous, lesser-looking contestants. Stereotypical slurs were thrown at her over, and over, and over again on the show, leading up to a full-on media frenzy protecting her image and the images of Indian women worldwide.

With that said, she sure has some nice taters!
