"Skyfall" landed in theaters accompanied by an immeasurable amount of hype last Friday, due in no small part to Daniel Craig's willingness to sit down for countless interviews.

But there are only so many 007-centric questions that Bond can field, so naturally conversation shifts to other topics. In a recent interview with Global Grind, Craig said he believes Rihanna would be a better Bond girl than Beyonce, because the former is "dirtier."

But that's not all -- turns out Craig was in the United States on the night of the election, and was quite pleased with the result. "It was great," he said. "It was very inspiring, watching the democratic process work -- and it did. It's complicated, getting your head around the collegital electo--whatever it's called, the votes in each state. But it's very inspiring."

It's OK, Bond. Americans (and the rest of the world) are pretty torn up about the whole electoral college too.

Luckily for Craig and Sony, Bond has proven to be a universal language. "Skyfall" has racked up over $518 million at the global box office over all, and dialed up about $90 million for its domestic opening weekend -- a record for a Bond film.

Gene Hackman pimp-slapped a homeless man who physically threatened the actor and his wife outside a New Mexico restaurant ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the incident went down Tuesday as Hackman and his wife were leaving a Santa Fe restaurant. We're told a homeless guy named Bruce Becker approached them in a threatening manner.

We're told the incident escalated big time when Becker called Hackman's wife a "c**t" -- and then Hackman dished out some street justice ... slapping Becker across the face.

Becker then called the cops to report the incident.

We're told cops interviewed Hackman and his wife, determined the slap was in self-defense ... and, for now, no charges have been filed.

Lil Wayne is under STRICT ORDERS from his doctor to keep his ass off airplanes for the foreseeable future ... after his mid-flight medical emergency last week, TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Weezy was hospitalized Friday following two seizure-like episodes on board back-to-back flights.

He's been recovering since at his mama's house-- but sources close to the rapper tell us, Weezy's doctor has ordered him to rest for the next week at least ... which means no working, and definitely no flying.

We're told Wayne's been to the doctor twice since his hospitalization and has nurses coming to check on him regularly.

The rapper's telling friends he feels the seizures were a result of working himself too hard after his jail stint -- and has been calling the health scare a "life-changing event" and an "eye-opener."

We're told Weezy is planning to return to his Miami home shortly -- but he won't be taking a plane ... he'll be traveling inside a luxury bus.
