Eunice Gayson -- best known for being the James Bond franchise's very first Bond girl -- has died ... according to producers of the famous film series.

As we've reported ... Bourdain's friend and fellow chef Eric Ripert found his body Friday morning in the hotel room. They had been shooting in the area for an episode of Anthony's show.

Redmond O'Neal Farrah Fawcett & Ryan O'Neal's Son Charged with Attempted Murder
Redmond O'Neal -- son of Ryan O'Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett -- has been charged with attempted murder and assault after a series of violent and random attacks in L.A.
Fawcett's 33-year-old son reportedly left 5 men seriously injured last month in what cops are calling unprovoked violence, including stabbing a man in the side near the Venice boardwalk on May 4 and stabbing another man later that night -- severely wounding his face and neck.
O'Neal was arrested a few days later on May 8 as a suspect of an armed robbery at a 7-Eleven, and was linked to the earlier attacks due to his red hair and distinctive tattoos.
He was charged Friday with attempted murder, 2 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a knife, battery and criminal threats. He's been held without bail since his arrest.
Redmond has a history of drug and legal problems, including being busted along with his father in 2008 for felony drug possession after a search of Ryan's Malibu home. Fawcett died in 2009.

Joel Embiid Yeah, I'll Say it ... LeBron 'Needs' to Play in Philly!!!
LeBron James recruiting season is officially open, and Joel Embiid is wasting NO time in courting the King to jump to the city of brotherly love.
We got Sixers superstar leaving Craig's Friday night -- a couple hours after the Cavs got swept out of the NBA Finals -- and asked him about the not-so-subtle tweet he fired off as the game was ending.
Joel hinted on social media, but he was way more direct with our photog.
Trust The Process!!!! Find a new slant @KingJames
@JoelEmbiid
As he walked out, we asked him to explain the "find a new slant" comment ... and he said, LeBron needs to "find a new team ... Sixers!"
Remember, just last week his teammate, Ben Simmons told us he'd love to play with LBJ ... but in a very laid back way. Y'know, like a guy who doesn't want a chick to know how much he wants to hook up?
Well, Joel's taking a different approach now. Full court press, baby!!

Anthony Bourdain Loving Meats, Wine on Final Shoot ... No Outward Depression
Anthony Bourdain was laughing, smiling and full of personality just days before his suicide ... according to the people who cooked and served one of his final 'Parts Unknown' meals.
Bourdain and his crew were shooting at Wistub La Petite Venise on Tuesday in Colmar, France. Sources at the restaurant tell us Bourdain was extremely friendly with the staff, telling jokes, smiling and talking about food and wine.
We're told he was in great spirits even when cameras weren't rolling.
Anthony indulged in 2 faves of France's Alsace region. Choucroute garnie -- the dish he posted on IG -- is sauerkraut, sausages, salted meats and potatoes. We're told he also tried the jambonneau ... a smoked leg of ham.
Chef Alexis Schonstein tells us, "It was a good moment I will always keep in mind." As we've reported, 3 days after the shoot, Anthony was found after he hanged himself in his nearby hotel room.
Bourdain being in good spirits is, unfortunately, a story we've heard too often in connection with other celebrity suicides -- for instance Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell. Rarely do people around the victim see signs of the depression.

Golden State Warriors Back-to-Back Champs In $400k Champagne Showers!!!
Every sports dynasty deserves a wild turn up, and Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and the rest of the Golden State Warriors didn't disappoint after winning the NBA Championship ... mostly.
Moments after the Warriors secured the bag -- back-to-back titles, and 3 out of the last 4 -- they doused themselves in super expensive champagne. Steph definitely came prepared for the burn ... with ski goggles protecting his eyes.
Here's the lowdown on the high-priced locker room bash: 300 bottles of Moët & Chandon -- 150 Impérial Golden Luminous magnums, $1,250 a pop in nightclubs ... and 150 Nectar Imperial Rose magnums, $1,500 each!!
Wanna know what it’s like in the BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPS locker room? 👀🍾🏆 pic.twitter.com/XMC418ajmR
@warriors
Sweet celebration, but we gotta say ... WHERE you win says a lot about how crazy your championship celebration gets. Sure, GSW turned up in the locker room, but where's the awesome nightclub bash with world famous DJs?? See the Washington Capitals for that.
The lesson? Whenever possible, win the title in Vegas!!
Or at least fly the team jet directly there. Just sayin' ...

Wolfgang Puck Praises Bourdain's Legacy ... 'Thankful for Him for the Rest of My Life'
Wolfgang Puck won't soon forget the impact Anthony Bourdain had on his life, the culinary community or the rest of the world ... calling the late food and travel expert an inspiration to many.
We spoke to Puck Friday outside Spago -- his famed Bev Hills restaurant -- and he offered immense praise for Bourdain. Puck says the most tragic part about his sudden death is that he believes Anthony had just hit the peak of his success.
As for the fate of Bourdain's "Parts Unknown"? Wolfgang has some ideas for what CNN should do with that, too.

'Roseanne' Reboot There's One Big Hang-Up ... Roseanne!!!
ABC is still all-in on moving forward with a second "Roseanne" reboot -- this one revolving around Sara Gilbert's character -- but there's a major issue to resolve ... ownership.
Sources close to the production tell TMZ ... because Roseanne Barr created the show with the original executive producers, she has a financial stake in it and its characters. It's unclear which specific ones she created, but we're told the network is doing its due diligence to avoid a lawsuit.
It's very possible, we're told, that Roseanne could put her foot down and say there will be no revamped reboot unless she gets a piece of the pie. However, if she's making dough off the new version, it defeats the purpose of canceling the show after her racist comment.
We broke the story ... ABC execs kicked negotiations into high gear earlier this week in hopes of announcing the new show ASAP, but now we know -- there's more work to do.

Chris Martin Drops $4.45 Million For 99-Seat Malibu Theater!!
Chris Martin now has a venue to showcase his talented kids ... a 99-seat theater he just bought for more than FOUR MILLION BUCKS!!
The Coldplay frontman plunked down $4.45 million for the Malibu Playhouse ... currently home to the Malibu Stage Company. In its previous life, the theater was once a church, and later a recording studio.
The venue sits on 6.5 acres and it's got an incredible ocean-view deck. It also features sweeping canyon views. It's unclear what Chris will do with the venue, but maybe one day he'll feature his daughter Apple and son Moses. Those kids got talent!!
Shen Schulz from Sotheby's was the listing agent and Lily Harfouche from Coldwell Banker repped Chris. We reached out to them to see what Chris had planned for the theater, but no word back.

Muhammad Ali Ex-Wife to Trump: 'Pardon Someone Who's Alive!'
Muhammad Ali's ex-wife says Donald Trump is wasting his time if he's considering pardoning the legendary boxer ... telling TMZ Sports he should focus his energy on the LIVING!
We spoke with Khalilah Ali -- who was married to Muhammad from '67 to '76 -- and she was shocked when she watched Trump tell the media he was considering pardoning Ali ... presumably for his conviction for resisting the draft in 1971.
That conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court ... so, as Khalilah pointed out, "There's no necessary need for a pardon."
"I think [Trump] probably was a fan of Ali and he thought he would say something positive about him. That might be it ... but it's a little too late."
Khalilah says if Trump really respects what Ali stood for ... he would "pardon" the NFL players who knelt during the national anthem -- and by that, she means Trump should stop trashing them for standing up for what they believe in.
"If you're willing to say its okay for Muhammad Ali to be pardoned for his freedom and standing up his rights and standing up for not going to the army ... then you're telling me that you're ready to pardon everybody that has done that in the same manner as Muhammad Ali has."

Taylor Swift Surprises Charity By Donating Tour Merch
Taylor Swift just defied the expectations of a charity looking for some help with their upcoming gala by donating basketloads of items from her 1989 and Reputation tours.
Karim Siddiqui tells us he sent a letter to Taylor Swift’s team about the KAMS Foundation's upcoming event, thinking he wouldn't ever hear back. KAMS was started in honor of Karim's late cousin, Kamran, who died in a fatal motorcycle accident at 22, and it empowers underprivileged youth through sports and mentoring.
The foundation's inaugural gala is this Saturday in Chino Hills, California and Karim says, not only did Taylor's team hit him back on his cold call, but they sent over everything from Reputation shirts to 1989 sweaters, shirts, aprons, oven mitts, kitchen sets, tote bags, Christmas ornaments, keychains, scarfs, glitter bows and big bags.
The foundation took the items and created baskets that they'll now auction off ... one of the starting bids is $180 to give you an idea of how it'll help out.

Floyd Mayweather Shades Conor Over Forbes List I Coulda Been #1 AND #4!
Floyd Mayweather isn't ALL smiles over his top rank on Forbes' highest paid athletes list this year ... telling TMZ Sports he shoulda been technically No. 1 AND No. 4!!
"Conor's at No. 4 because of me," Floyd said of the UFC superstar he boxed back in August.
"I'm No. 1, and the guy that's No. 4 is because of me."
The shade over the Irish fighter didn't stop there -- especially when we asked if he thinks Conor can ever get to his No. 1 spot.
"Absolutely not. Conor McGregor can never get to No. 1 without Floyd Mayweather."
For the record ... Forbes credited Floyd with making $285 mil the last 12 months, and Conor with $99 mil. Their respective purses from their monster summer fight were estimated to be around $200 mil and $70 mil ... so Floyd might have a point.
As for what he did to celebrate being top dog ... Floyd wouldn't say -- though he WAS eager to show our camera guy some of his insanely expensive whips.
