Q: Everyone's talking about the new James Bond, Daniel Craig, but what about the last one, Pierce Brosnan? What's he doing these days?

Pierce Brosnan is taking advantage of not being attached to a major franchise in order to commit to a lot of smaller films and smaller roles -- he's appeared in 14 films since his last Bond appearance, in 2002's "Die Another Day," and he has four more in production now.

The Office, on NBC

Q: I loved the show "Chuck," which was written by Josh Schwartz, and I even like his other show, "Gossip Girl." I heard that "Gossip Girl" is ending, so does he have anything new coming up?

As a matter of fact he does, but it looks likely to lean more towards "Gossip Girl" than "Chuck."

Josh Schwartz will serve as executive producer of the new CW show "The Carrie Diaries," a prequel series to "Sex and the City," revolving around a 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw (who was played in the original series by Sarah Jessica Parker). The series is slated to premiere on Monday, Jan. 14.

Q: What is Sharon Osbourne's claim to fame, other than being married to Ozzy?

She has none. That's not to say that she rode to fame on the long, black-velvet coattails of her heavy-metal husband, though -- she rode there beside him.

Sharon Rachel Levy, born in October 1952 in London's Brixton neighborhood, met Ozzy Osbourne while her father was managing Ozzy's band, Black Sabbath. When Ozzy left the band to go solo, Sharon became his manager. They became romantically involved soon afterward.
