Jennifer Aniston is being considered for a role in the next James Bond film. The 40-year-old actress - who recently expressed an interest in appearing in the British spy film franchise - is set to be offered a screen test for the follow up to "Quantum of Solace" which will star Daniel Craig as James Bond.

A source at EON, the production company which makes the James Bond films, said: "Jennifer has all the qualities we are looking for in a Bond girl. She has to be beautiful but she also needs to have brains."

Lily Allen wants to be a Bond girl. The 22-year-old singer - who has unveiled a slimmer physique after embarking on a healthy eating plan recently - is desperate to star alongside Daniel Craig in the next British spy movie.

She said: "Any girl would admit she wants to appear in a Bond film. I'm no different."

Matt Damon thinks James Bond is "repulsive." The "Bourne Identity" actor - who plays CIA agent Jason Bourne in three hit films - has lashed out at Ian Fleming's famous British spy, currently portrayed by Daniel Craig.

He said: "He's repulsive. Bond is an imperialist, misogynist, sociopath who goes around bedding women and swilling martinis and killing people."
