Rumor:  Mayrin Villanueva Cast as the New Bond Girl?  
Monday, November 12th, 2007

Word on the blogs is that Mayrin Villanueva has been cast as the next Bond girl in the 22nd James Bond flick, which is in pre-production.

Although she's no stranger to the camera (she's starred in a variety of TV series en espanol), Villanueva hasn't starred in any American television or films - yet.  Mayrin, who turned 32 this year, is married to Jorge Poza, a Mexican actor, and has two children, Romina and Sebastian.

I'm surprised Mayrin doesn't have a wikipedia entry yet.  Get on it, people!

The NY Post is saying that Brazilian soap star Cleo Pires is the true frontrunner being considered for the role, and that she beat out fellow Brazilians Guilhermina Guinle, Rita Guedes, Juliana Paes, and Israli model Maron Atias.

Whatever, I don't even like the James Bond movies, but apparently people are interested in this.
