Gemma Arterton couldn’t stop giggling during her on-screen kiss with Daniel Craig.

The 22-year-old actress - who stars as Agent Fields in new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace - admits she was “immature” during the romantic scene.

She said: “I was giggling left, right and centre and being really immature. I vaguely remember him laughing politely at something stupid I said. I told my mother about the kiss and she was like, ‘Oh my God!’ ”

Gemma also said despite being one of the most talked about actresses of her generation, she isn’t interested in money or fame.

She added to InStyle magazine: “I am from a working class background, so I can’t get my head round spending hundreds of pounds on clothes. I went to a Louis Vuitton party in Paris recently. It was rather posh - I didn’t half feel like a piece of riffraff!”

I finally managed to get my copy of St. Trinian’s and made 600+ captures of Gemma’s performance as head girl Kelly Jones. It was definitely fun to revisit the performance and the film! Unfortunately, however, mine is a rental copy that has no extra features whatsoever. So if anyone out there would be able to create screencaptures of the deleted scenes, featurettes, etc, please get in touch! Full credit will be given. Thank you. Enjoy these and look back for some videos on my next update!

Sexy Bond girl Gemma Arterton was taught how to milk a cow for her latest screen role.

Gemma, 22, plays MI6 agent Fields in Quantum of Solace and has already shot love scenes with 007 Daniel Craig.

But she needed farmyard skills to play Thomas Hardy’s milkmaid Tess of the D’Ubervilles in a BBC costume drama.

So she went for lessons at a farm near Berkeley, Gloucs, and learned milking techniques on goats.

Farmer Judy King said: “She was a very confident young lady, very down to earth. She just got on with it all. She brought a bit of glamour to the farm, but she’d have a future with livestock if she wasn’t in the movies.”

3 and Out was released in the UK on Friday. I hope all of the Gemma fans have had the chance to go out and see it. I am planning to go next week myself. Feel free to post your comments on Gemma’s performance on this post.

St. Trinian’s is also now available on DVD. I am still waiting for my copy but as soon as I receive it, captures and clips will be posted. Thanks for the patience.

Bond girl Gemma Artertpn is disappointed she never got to ride in the superspy’s Aston Martin sportscar before it ended up in an Italian lake.

The limited edition car - driven by Daniel Craig in two Bond movies - had to be fished out of Italy’s Lake Garda on Saturday (19Apr08) after an accident on the set of new movie Quantum of Solace.

But Arterton, 22, is upset she was never given the opportunity to drive the car.
She says, “I never got to go in it.

“I was always filmed in these old bangers. It wasn’t very glamorous at all.”

Gemma Arterton has denied that girls will be jealous of her role in the next Bond film - because her character is a geek.

The 22-year-old said: “My Bond girl’s not really a Bond villain. She’s not glamorous or anything - she’s quite geeky. So I don’t know… it’s amazing what a haircut will do!”

“I just went to work every day, and if I thought about it too much I’d freak out! But it was absolutely brilliant.”

Gemma, wearing a figure-hugging dress on the red carpet of her latest film Three And Out, denied she had gone on a fitness regime for the film, called Quantum Of Solace.

Actress Gemma Arterton has confessed she preferred her onscreen kiss with Daniel Craig than her clinch with Mackenzie Crook.

The 22-year-old shared a screen kiss with Crook during their new movie Three and Out - but the star reluctantly admits Craig has a better technique.

She says, “They can’t be compared. They’re very different scenes. One is tender and loving and the other is passionate.

“Asking me to choose which one I’d date is so unfair, that’s horrible. I’d rather go out with someone completely unknown and obscure.

“But Daniel’s probably more my type because Mackenzie’s quite nervous. He was lovely though and the scene was very romantic.

Arterton is currently shooting new Bond film Quantum of Solace with Craig.

Gemma Arterton, who plays Tommy’s daughter Frankie, watched all manner of Liverpudlian TV shows to help her master a North West accent.

She added: “I did it in the audition just like a rough version and Jonathan said to me: ‘it’s nice how you’ve merged the Liverpudlian with the Cumbrian’ because she lives in Cumbria now.

“I said: ‘I think you’ll find that it’s just cr*p Liverpudlian but if it works for you, then great’.”
