James Bond has had quite enough of reality stars and their incessant fame-mongering. Daniel Craig tells British GQ he's disgusted by folks whose only talent is to perform emotional striptease on TV. "It's not about being afraid to be public with your emotions or about . . . what you stand for. But if you sell it off it's gone. . . . you can't buy your privacy back," Craig says. The Casino Royale star, who has kept mum about his summer wedding to Rachel Weisz, says he's especially ticked off when those same celebs bleat on about their privacy.

" 'Oh, I want to be alone,' " Craig mocks. "[Obscenity] you. . . . We were at your birth. You . . . showed us the placenta and now you want some privacy?" Craig singles out the Kardashian Clan. "They're worth millions," he says. "You see that and you think, 'What? You mean all I have to do is behave like a [obscenity] idiot on television and then you'll pay me millions?' " Adds Craig, "I'm not judging it - well, I am, obviously."

"I know how to turn it on for a picture, but I'm not sexy in real life." Sure.

"I don't think guys should be monkeying around with that stuff," says Lowe, who has two sons, Edward, 18, and John, 16. He says the boys help him keep fit. "I'm outside surfing, diving, you name it. . . . I'm very cool with my teenagers."
