Joe Allison, a nine-year-old boy from Totnes, Devon smashed a world record by hanging 16 pieces of spoons on his face.

A nine-year-old boy smashed a world record by hanging 16 pieces of spoons on his face, media reported Saturday.

Joe Allison, from Totnes, Devon, beat the previous record of 15 spoons set by a 16-year-old in the United States in May 2004.

He could balance 16 spoons on his face -- five from his forehead, one from his nose, two from his chin, three from each cheek and one from each ear.

But he admitted he didn't know what's behind his amazing talent.

"They just stick on," he said.

"It's something I can do easily and I know I'll make 17 one day, but I'll probably have to wait until I grow a bit so there's some more space on my forehead," said the schoolboy.

Joe discovered his talent two years ago when his cousin challenged him to balance a spoon on his nose.

His mother Fenella, 42, a swimming teacher, said: "I'm really, really proud of him because he can do something that no one else in the world can do.

The little boy is to appear on the talent TV show Britain's Got Talent, where he will hang the spoons from his face and do a little jig.

Officials are now double-checking footage of Joe's record attempt before entering him into the Guinness Book of World Records.

A little bit of France in New York…

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are all smiles after sharing a romantic lunch at French American bistro AOC L’aile ou la Cuisse in NYC’s Greenwich Village on Friday afternoon.

Looking genuinely happy, Ashley Olsen flashes a rare smile before hopping into her Mercedes SUV in Los Angeles on Thursday.

USA Today has released a few new movie stills for the new James Bond film. The star of the film, Daniel Craig, shared a bit about his character in Quantum of Solace:

“He has his heart broken,” says Craig. “The love of his life is killed, and he finds out she’s not who she said she was. … He’s out for revenge. But he’s also out to find — and this is what the title is about — a ‘quantum of solace.’ Something has been taken away from him, and he’s out to get that back.”

Added Craig, “It’s a simplistic story that has been around for a long, long time: There’s one lone hero going after the bad guys. It has been around forever. But you have to apply morals to it, and within that you show somebody’s flaws. That’s what makes them interesting, the mistakes they make along the way and how they adjust.

“The fact is he’s hurt. He’s damaged and he wants revenge. And that’s another facet of somebody, and it’s not a good emotion to have. You’ve got to see how he deals with it. Last time around, it was just duty and duty alone. This time around, there’s a sense of revenge. That’s how he’s going to screw up. Because he will — but then he gets up and gets it right.”

Quantum of Solace has a tentative release date of Nov. 7 and is being directed by Marc Forster (The Kite Runner, Finding Neverland).
