James Bond franchise producer Michael G. Wilson says he’s hoping to sign Daniel Craig up for five more movies as 007. Craig is currently shooting the next Bond flick, Skyfall, with director Sam Mendes. Says Wilson, “Filming has gone very well, and I'd love Daniel to surpass Roger's [Moore] record and do eight pictures.” If Craig balks at such a long-term commitment, though, Wilson and the other producers have a plan to goad him into it: Threaten to hire George Lazenby instead.

T. Pain, “Drowning Again”

Considering that this is an Auto-Tune-free ballad whose video features T-Pain gently stroking piano keys in the dark, there is plenty to make fun of. Let’s just focus on this one line, though: “When I’m diseased / I hope you’re dying next to me / In my watery grave.” Thanks for giving him "watery," Lonely Island!
