Stars come out for CNN Heroes ceremony

Pierce Brosnan, honoring a woman who started an anti-breast cancer project, created one of the evening's most emotional moments as he recalled his late wife's failed battle against the disease. She was a "magnificent mother, a wonderful actor," he said of Cassandra Harris, who died of ovarian cancer in 1991.

"There are too many of us who have lost someone to this brutal disease called cancer, and we are all sick and tired of cancer winning," he said in introducing breast cancer survivor Andrea Ivory, who runs a mobile mammography project in Miami that provides free screenings.The pair posed backstage for photos, Ivory glamorous in a gown with an oversized pink bow -- symbolic of the ribbons that mark the breast cancer battle.

"Stunning," Brosnan said, smiling broadly as cameras focused on her.

Maybe friendship marriages work best

An example of devotion is movie star Pierce Brosnan, a man of commitment to his first wife, who was 12 years older. After her sad death, Brosnan, who most famously played James Bond, who could have instantly married any number of women, waited until he found love again with the environmental journalist and actress Keely Shaye Smith.

Twilight actor overshadows Pierce Brosnan on film set

FORMER 007 hunk Pierce Brosnan has lost his license to thrill - to a younger rival.

The 56-year-old is being ignored on the set of his new movie as fans flock for a look at 23-year-old costar Robert Pattinson.

Security has been tightened around the New York set of Remember Me, in which Brosnan plays Pattinson's dad.

Diehard Brosnan fan Amy Feran said: "They didn't pay any attention to Pierce when he was walking around the set.

"Even when he tripped on the kerb, no one seemed to notice."

Meanwhile, Harry Potter heart-throb Pattinson's security team have to escort him everywhere.

On set "Bonding"

Editor's Note: Methinks the infamous "Bond, James Bond" quote is a little off...

From Irish Central

Robert, Robert Pattinson may be James, James Bond

By KENNETH HAYNES, IrishCentral.Com Staff Writer

Robert Pattinson and Pierce Brosnan are wrapping up filming on "Remember Me," in which the Irish actor plays the father of teenage idol Pattinson.

Friday was one of their last days on the set — but insiders are betting that it's not the last time the two will be linked.

IrishCentral sources say the two have talked at length about the "James Bond franchise," in which Brosnan was a key player.. Pattinson made clear during the Cannes film festival that he loves the role of the supercool 007. Brosnan who played Bond before Daniel Craig took over the role, made clear to the young superstar that he feels the Brit could be next in line to play the role.

The two have "bonded" on the film set, and Brosnan also had words of advice for Pattinson on how to handle the pitfalls of fame and celebrity. Just a few years back, Brosnan was the hottest thing in movies — the place where Pattinson is now. Extra scurity had to be ordered during the final week of the shoot because there were so many female fans seeking to catch a glimpse of Pattinson.

Next up for Brosnan -- who also has his own film production company — will be a self-financed film, while Pattinson will star in the sequel to "Twilight."

Both men expect to stay in touch however, according to sources.

Pierce Visits President Obama

This Washington Times article is a little tacky. Is the reporter claiming Pierce is anything less
than enigmatic? Or that his visit to the West Wing is baffling?

His one word answer is to the point. There is no mystery. And if the reporter knew his stuff, he'd realize that in addition to being the former James Bond, Pierce is an environmentalist. He dedicated the Malibu Whale Watch to his former wife, Cassie. They shared a love of whales, a love also shared by Keely Shaye Smith, his wife and the mother of his two young sons.

Remington Steele may indeed be a man of mystery. Pierce, however, is a man of his word and dedicated to saving our planet.

By the way, while this picture of him is one of my favorites, it's unappropriate for this article.

Pierce Urges Fans to Support Red Cross, Roots and Shoots and Humane Society

Brosnan Asks For Holiday Charity Donations
by Tim Saunders

Actor Pierce Brosnan has wished his fans a Merry Christmas on his official blog and has asked a special Holiday favor.

“In the spirit of giving this holiday season please consider making a small contribution to those in need,“ he wrote. “The following organizations were on our holiday gift giving list: the Jane Goodall Institute, Roots & Shoots, American Red Cross, Kauai Humane Society.

“These funds will be used to sponsor environmental education and youth based humanitarian programs, provide clean, safe drinking water to a developing nation by distributing thousands of portable water purifiers, offer relief services for the victims of the Southern California Wildfires, and care for numerous stray animals while also supporting the spay and neuter shelter program on the island of Kauai.“

Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye are committed environmentalists, with interests that include clean air and water campaigns, marine mammal and wetland protection, and opposing environmentally disruptive projects such as the Cabrillo Port Liquefied Natural Gas facility being proposed off the coast of Malibu. In 1997 he was awarded the Environmental Leadership Award by Green Cross International. He is also a member of Oceana’s Ocean Council.

“Holiday Blessings from my home to yours and every good wish for the coming year ahead,“ he wrote. “May the spirit of the season fill you with love, joy and peace.“

Streep: I'm up for 'Mamma Mia!' sequel
Friday, November 28 2008, 19:32 GMT
By Simon Reynolds, Entertainment Reporter

Rex Features
Meryl Streep has revealed that she will sign up for a Mamma Mia! sequel if the male cast returns.

The actress told the Daily Mail: "Grand Mamma Mia! I like it! I'm up for doing a sequel, as long as you can get those fabulous boys - Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard and Dominic Cooper - back!

"It's so gratifying that it has been this phenomenon around the world. It says there's an audience for something that appeals to a lot of women - something that might make them some money too!"

Abba's Benny Andersson recently admitted that no discussions have taken place about a sequel.

However, it is thought that the movie's record-breaking UK DVD and cinema release may prompt Universal to begin work on a follow-up.
