Kerry camp victory?
Kerry wins in a landslide! Alexandra Kerry, that is.
John Kerry's filmmaker daughter -- who famously wore a sheer dress on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival -- has won heavy.com's "Political Ho Down" contest, where Web surfers cast their ballots for the sexiest political daughter, reports The New York Post.
Alexandra won with 172,824 votes, beating out Barbara Bush (124,712), Jenna Bush (64,295) and Cate Edwards (24,567).
"Overwhelmingly, Americans want to rock the vote with Alexandra over the other political daughters," poll director David Carson said.
'Everybody was kung-fu fighting'
London -- Director Quentin Tarantino says he's planning a kung-fu film with all the dialogue in Mandarin Chinese and out-of-sync English dubbing in homage to many such films in the past.
In an interview with Total Film magazine, Tarantino said he decided to do the kung-fu movie instead of "Inglorious Bastards," the working title of his long-expected movie based on World War II.
"I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in 'Kill Bill' so much that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin," he was quoted as saying.
'Those cats were fast as lightning'
Dublin, Ireland -- Pierce Brosnan, who played British agent James Bond in the last four "007" films, says he thinks fellow Irishman Colin Farrell would be his ideal successor.
Brosnan, 51, began playing the role in 1995 with "GoldenEye" and concluded with 2002's "Die Another Day."
"He'll eat the head off them all," Brosnan said of Farrell after an entertainment awards ceremony Saturday in Dublin.
He also said he was discussing a possible collaboration with director Quentin Tarantino, who is considering making a film of the Bond novel "Casino Royale."
"We have discussed things, Quentin and I, but I don't know if it's going to be that particular project," Brosnan said.
Revenge of the nerd
Boston -- If you're one of the girls who rejected Topher Grace in high school, he has one word for you: boo-hoo.
"I think about it, and I really hope it's happening," the star of Fox's "That '70s Show" told the Boston Sunday Globe. "I could even name names."
Grace, 26, said he looked so young, most girls wouldn't consider him as boyfriend material.
"I'm not trying to say 'poor me' -- not like the way supermodels say, 'I had a terrible childhood, everyone made fun of me' -- but I was very small in high school and nobody wanted to date me," he said.
His screen credits include "Traffic" and "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!" He'll appear with Dennis Quaid and Scarlett Johansson in the movie, "In Good Company," which will have a limited release on Dec. 29 and go wider Jan. 14.
