SHEEN TO PLAY BOND BADDIE BLOFELD?

British actor MICHAEL SHEEN is set to sign up to the next JAMES BOND movie - to play legendary villain ERNST STAVRO BLOFELD, according to U.K. reports.
The Queen star is said to be in negotiations with 007 bosses to join Daniel Craig in the 23rd instalment in the superspy franchise, which is slated for release in 2011.
And Sheen will be taking on the role of bad guy Blofeld - the recurring character seen in six Bond films including From Russia with Love, You Only Live Twice and For Your Eyes Only.
The super-villain has been played by actors including late Kojak star Telly Savalas, who appeared in 1969's On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, "Michael is hot property right now and it's felt he's the right man to bring Blofeld back to life. Michael was a Bond fan in his youth so this would be a dream role for him."
