Would Barack Obama Make a Good 007?

Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan shares why he thinks President-elect Barack Obama has what it takes to be a good 007.

"He's cool enough. He's definitely got the walk and the talk, yes," the actor told People magazine at the second annual Jane Goodall Institute Global Leadership Awards Celebration in Washington, D.C. "But I think he's going to make a greater president," Brosnan said, adding, "and Mr. Daniel Craig is a great Bond of his time."

Brosnan, 55, who has been filming the sequel to 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' also spoke about a possible female lead. "Charlize Theron is someone who I've always admired. I think she's someone who has acquitted herself grandly," Brosnan told People.

Brosnan and his wife Keely received the award for Responsible Activism in Media and Entertainment for their active support of Roots & Shoots, a global environmental youth program started by Goodall.

Lindsay Lohan: I Love Samantha Ronson 'Very Much'

Lindsay Lohan may have experienced growing pains going in and out of rehab last year, but the newly grounded actress admits to regaining control of herself and being happy with her life.

"I'm a different person now," Lohan tells Harper's Bazaar for its December issue. "I'm happy."

The road to happiness has been a long one for Lohan. Before entering treatment centers at Cirque Lodge and Promises for DUI and possession of drugs, Lohan, 22, admits feeling lonely. "I was going to clubs all the time and it was not okay. I was so alone."

But she has taken responsibility for her downward spiral and ready to move forward. "I did it to myself and I have to deal with the consequences. I'm thankful for what I can take out of it. Now I feel clear," she says.

Not a Lesbian

Lohan says that her growing relationship with deejay Samantha Ronson is helping her stay grounded.

"She's a wonderful person and I love her very much," said Lohan.

The two have never publicly addressed the exact nature of their relationship, and the Mean Girls star resists labeling herself. Lohan said she is not a lesbian when asked point blank. When asked by Harper's Bazaar if she is bisexual, Lohan responded: "Maybe. Yeah."

"I feel like it jinxes it," she said, explaining why she is not talking about her love life. "It's hard. The second I start talking about whomever I'm seeing, a month or two later it's failed."

And will Lohan hear wedding bells in the future? "Eventually," she said. But whether that will be with a man or a woman, "I don't know."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins may be only four months old, but they're already characters of their own.

"They're great. They're still so little, but they do [have their own personalities]," Jolie told reporters at the DVD launch for Kung Fu Panda and the premiere of its companion adventure story, Secrets of the Furious Five in Hollywood on Sunday.

Knox and Vivienne are "starting to get very smiley," their proud mom said. "They're at that [stage] where their personality really starts to shine."

As for the rest of the brood, they share a love of their mom's work. "I think it's a great film, and it's brought a lot of joy to children – and to my children, absolutely," Jolie told PEOPLE at the event. "My kids love it. They're very very proud, they've got mom [Tigress] dolls."

While Jolie – looking slim in a long-sleeved black Ralph Lauren dress and beige pumps with spiked heels – didn't let on whether she'd be attending any of President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural balls in January, she did say she was happy with the election last Tuesday.

"I was pleased to see how excited so many people were," she told PEOPLE.

At the premiere, held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, furry Panda characters wandered around and danced while costars Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman chatted with fans and press. Jolie and the rest of the cast were on hand also as DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg presented a check for $1 million to the Conservation International in support of their efforts for the preservation of pandas in their natural habitat.

Jolie told PEOPLE shortly before the presentation, "We are so privileged in everything we get to do in this business, and the amount of money this film has made. To be able to share that and do some good always feels good."
