Former James Bond Villain Grace Jones Owes Apartment Rent And Damage Costs

August 17, 2006 10:14 a.m. EST


Maira Oliveira - All Headline News Reporter
London, England (BANG) - The former James Bond villain, Grace Jones, has trashed her upscale London apartment and disappeared without paying the rent. Lawyers acting for Jones' landlords are now trying to track her down to demand payment of the almost $8,000 she still owns on the rent, as well as damage costs.

Among the wrecked items are burnt spoons, seemingly blackened from having a flame held under them.

The 80s star-famous for her tantrums, which include slapping a U.S. talk show host-also damaged dйcor, curtains, bedding, a gas hob and a coffee table before leaving the $2 million pad in February.

Owners of the $51,000-a-year apartment want $216 to replace the spoons alone.

The legal writ that has been issued states that Jones, "Failed to deliver the property in a tenable state. Many of the fixtures and fittings were either missing, broken or rendered unusable as a result of being impregnated with cigarette smoke."

"The claimants incurred further costs in having their locks changed because the defendant failed to return the keys."

Jones, 58, is a close friend of supermodel Kate Moss, and was a neighbor to legendary actor Sir Michael Caine and singer Robbie Williams in the Thames-side luxury apartment block.

Jones' agent said he knew nothing about the apartment being trashed and has dismissed the claims as "rubbish."

I never liked her. She had such a mean look about her. When she and Roger did the lov scene, there was no chemistry between them.
What did she do to upset Roger on the set?

Well from what I read, she had the habit of playing music extra loud on her stereo player right next to Roger's dressing room,  when he was trying to relax between filming.

After asking her several times to turn it down, and she refused, he apparantly threw it out of the window! Good for him.

It was a great shame  that out of all his leading ladies, she was the one he never got on well with, and who can blame him?

I well remember the British  chat show she once  appeared on. The host turned to speak to the other guest and she said "Don't you turn your back on me" and proceeded to punch him several times!

This scene was shown in a documentary series screened in the UK recently called 'The Story of Light Entertainment'.

The host was Russell Harty. The producers admitted that they had decided to play about with the format for that particular show - it's usual practice to have all the guests to one side of the host and move through them as and when required. However, on this occasion they had decided to place guests either side of the host and as we all know, it backfired spectacularly.

Russell Harty is pretty much unheard of to a modern audience, though he was one of the big names years back.

Hi Cuffy, welcome to SM.

I missed that scene in "The Story of Light Entertainment" recently, would have loved to see it again.

Grace Jones

Firstly, I never liked her despite the fact she was a good baddie in AVTAK.
Secondly, I didn't know she was/is 58.
Thirdly, now knowing that she is a friend of Kate Moss's, I can understand why she behaves that way.

And lastly, I was appalled to hear the grief she caused our hero during the filming of AVTAK. No wonder he says it was his least favourite Bond film. :smt011

Kate Moss, the model? I have seen pictures of her, but never cared much for her looks or style. Is she a nasty person too?

Kate Moss

Postby Goodnight007.2 on Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:04 am

If you have read the papers, she is all over them for severe drug abuse in the UK. Apparently they took a pic of her snorting a line of coke.

Not a good role model I would think :smt009

Kate Moss gained such bad publicity for her wild behaviour, that in this crazy world of ours,   she won more and more modelling contracts that ever before! Now she is rumoured to be pregnant, but was seen drinking heavily at some night spot. Charming!

Well, I was never all that impressed with Kate Moss, her looks OR personality, and now that you told me more about her friendship with Grace Jones, I'm not surprised why.

I hear Grace Jones recorded or plans to record a new album. Hmmmm....have you ever heard her sing? Wonder if she is any good and what kind of style she sings? Not RAP, I hope, lol?

I only know one song of  Grace Jones -  "Slave To The Rythmn" kind of a weird song, in which she "talks" through it. She has a powerful voice, I thought quite masculine sounding.
