Rumors are circulating that Nip/Tuck's Julian McMahon's name is being tossed around as a candidate for the next James Bond.. (Hey, he's Australian, and we can't tell the difference in those silly accents, right?) A tip from one of our readers makes us think that McMahon needs a crash course in that trademark superspy suavity. Failing a stint in charm school, the producers should at least cast a brunette as Snatchy Goodlay if they want McMahon in the Bond tuxedo.

Julian McMahon (a.k.a. Dr Christian Troy on Nip/Tuck) was at the Playboy Mansion recently at the Midsummer Night's Dream party talking to a small group of Hollywood folk. A beautiful, leggy blonde in a gold bikini (a Playboy Mansion regular) walked up and began talking to him. Mister Nip/Tuck-Hotshot must have lost all sense of common courtesy, or at least good party etiquette when he turned to his pals and said, "Let's see if a blonde can spell... S-H-U-T-U-P."

There are ways to get out of conversations without being fucking rude. What he spelled is a good way to get himself off the Playboy Mansion guest list. Interesting that Julian is now divorced to blondie Brooke Burns and sometimes-blonde Dannii Minogue.
