First Bond girl Linda Christian dies at 87 Live


The first-ever "Bond" girl, Linda Christian, has passed away at the age of 87. Christian was one of Hollywood's star icons in the 1940s. Christian's death was confirmed by her daughter, Romina Power, who said that the actress passed away as she gave in to the battle of colon cancer. This form of cancer is also known as bowel cancer; it is marked by neoplasia in the colon, rectum or vermiform appendix. Linda was a Mexican actress who acted in Mexican films as well as in Hollywood movies. The first film she ever acted in was ‘'Up In Arms''- a musical comedy. She co-acted with Danny KayeDanny Kaye in this musical. For this, she entered a seven-year contract with MGM. This was in 1944, a full decade before she became the "Bond Girl". In between, she had minor roles in "Club Havana", "Holiday in Mexico", "Green Dolphin Street", "Tarzan and the Mermaids" and "Showboat". She got her big break in 1954 when she was casted in the James Bond movie, "Casino Royale" (1966). Thus she became the first-ever Bond Girl. Linda Christan was born in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She was christened with the name Blanca Rosa Welter, but she changed it later on. Her father was a Dutch engineer and her Mexican-born mother was actually of Spanish, German and French descent thus making Linda an intricate genetic mix. She had three younger siblings. Her younger sister, Andrea Gloria Welter, also acted. Her original aspiration was to be a physician, but that soon changed after she graduated High School and met her screen idol, Errol Flyn. Christian was married to the then famous actor Tyrone Power. He was born in 1914 and died tragically at the age of 44 in 1958. His death was caused by a heart attack. The couple had divorced two years before Power's death. Christian was later also briefly married to the Rome-based British actor (and movie heartthrob) Edmund Purdom. Christian and Power had several opportunities to work together but they always rejected them. One of the more prominent of these opportunities came in 1953 while they were still married in the form of "From Here to Eternity". Like the rest, it was not taken. The couple tended to avoid each other in the workplace. The actress allegedly dated Spanish athlete Alfonso de Portago within 30 days of her divorce. They were often seen being cozy together, although Portago was married at the time and his wife had just given birth to his second child. He was only 28 years old at that time, while her husband was 42. Her flightiness led to the famous Life magazine to nickname her "An Atomic Bomb". Her life ended at the age of 87 when she finally gave in to her disease and ended her struggle. For more details click here >>>

Star Sofia Vergara loves being a sex symbol ‘Modern Family’


Sofia VergaraSofia Vergara, who made it to Maxim’s “Hot 100” list and named one of People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful” star loves her sex symbol status in Hollywood. Being a hot property in Hollywood has its pros and cons. Just as Jessica Biel once revealed that being blessed with extraordinary beauty was “really a problem” when it came to getting more significant roles in films and Megan Fox declared that she was tired of being seen as nothing more than just a pretty face. On the contrary, Sofia Vergara, the ‘Modern Family’ actress who almost made it to the top spot in AskMen.com’s list of “Most Desirable Women" does not complain she is being branded as Hollywood’s sex bomb. At the promotion of her upcoming film “The Smurfs”, Vergara told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column, “I love it. Of course, it’s great at my age. It’s fantastic,” adding “I think that everything that is positive and good helps out with your career. Why not embrace it and take advantage?” Vergara, 39, says she has maintained a balanced approach towards her life. “Everything in moderation. Not too much food, not too much exercise, not too much anything. Everything in moderation," she reveals. "And of course, wearing sun block, doing the things that your dermatologist tells you to do—that helps with the aging process." The ‘Modern Family’ bombshell even has a self-titled Smurf name? “Sexy Mama Surf,” she laughs. The actress faced tragedy last year when her boyfriend, Florida politician Nick Loeb, was in a terrible car accident that left him temporarily unable to walk. “It was hard for us because it happened in the middle of the most fun, sexy time,” says Vergara. “And then he was in the hospital, and you know men, they become such little babies!” Loeb never felt depressed throughout the ordeal, she said, “He kept his sense of humor despite the situation…I don’t know if I could have stuck it out with him if he hadn’t been able to laugh at himself and be happy even under the worst conditions. When you see people in difficult times, that’s when their true nature comes out.” The Emmy-nominee recently warned her boyfriend to stay healthy for the Emmys this year. Vergara said, “Last year I was exhausted because four days before (the Emmys) he had the horrible accident, so when I was at the Emmys, I couldn’t really enjoy the afterparty. I had to go back early because I had nobody to stay with him in the hospital. So I warned him… ‘You better not ruin my Emmy afterparty this year’.” For more details click here >>>

GOP try to figure out way forward on debt, Obama


A day after budget talks collapsed amid acrimony and finger-pointing, President Obama and congressional leaders meet this morning in search of a way to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling while staving off a government default. An angry Obama summoned the leaders Friday night, shortly after House Speaker John Boehner pulled out of month-long budget negotiations with the White House; the president said the Republicans walked away from a deal that would have cut the budget roughly $3 for every $1 in new tax revenue. "We have run out of time," Obama said. "And they are going to have to explain to me how it is that we are going to avoid default." Boehner -- who will be at the White House this morning -- said he broke off talks because Obama insisted on raising taxes as part of a debt ceiling debt, including a last-minute request for $400 billion in new revenues. The speaker said he will now work with Senate leaders on a fallback agreement to raise the debt ceiling and avoid default. "It's not in the best interests of our country to raise taxes during this difficult economy," Boehner said. "I'm confident that the bipartisan leaders here in the Congress can act. If the White House won't get serious, we will." The White House meeting is at 11 a.m. Leaders from both parties said they need to raise the $14.3 trillion by Aug. 2, a week from Tuesday. That's the day the Treasury Department says it loses borrowing authority needed to pay the nation's bills, risking default. The potential effects of a default include higher interest rates on all loans, and a downgrade in the country's credit ratings, government officials have said. There is also the prospect of unamailed government checks ranging from Social Security payments to veterans benefits. As Boehner works with the Senate on a new debt deal, they may well run into the same problem as the Boehner-Obama negotiations: Finding a deal that can pass both the Republican-run House and the Democratic-run Senate. Boehner and other House Republicans say they will only raise the debt ceiling if Democrats agree to debt reduction of the same amount or more, at least some $2.5 trillion over ten years -- without raising taxes. Obama and Democrats said reducing the $14 trillion-plus debt requires new tax revenues, and proposed eliminating tax breaks and loopholes for wealthy Americans such as oil company operators and private plane owners. Democrats also said that proposed Republican budget cuts threaten such programs as Social Security and Medicare. In blasting Boehner and the Republicans, Obama said Democrats were willing to cut $650 billion from Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, as well as other reductions that many Democrats had objected to. Overall, the agreement would have budget cuts of up to $3 trillion over ten years, with new tax revenues of up to $1.2 trillion. "I was willing to take a lot of heat from my party," Obama said. "It is hard to understand why Speaker Boehner would walk away from this kind of deal." Boehner said he had an agreement with the White House for $800 billion in revenue, but Obama added $400 billion at the last week. "I'm confident that the bipartisan leaders here in the Congress can act," Boehner said. "If the White House won't get serious, we will." Over the Senate, Republican leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic leader Harry Reid -- who will also be at today's White House meeting -- have been working on a complicated legislative deal that would basically allow Obama to raise the debt ceiling on his own, in exchange for about $1.5 trillion in budget cuts. But there's some question as to whether a Reid-McConnell plan could pass the Republican House. They've been talking about budget cuts of some $1.5 trillion, less than the GOP has been seeking.
