Beyonce Knowles to record James Bond theme?

BeyonceBeyonce Knowles is being lined up to sing the soundtrack for the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, after troubled Amy Winehouse pulled out.


Amy, 24, earlier this month scrapped plans to do the theme song, three weeks after her bust up with producer Mark Ronson.


And now the former Destiny's Child's singer -- who recently wed beau Jay-Z -- is in talks with movie bosses about performing a new track written by Amanda Ghost and collaborating with legendary Bond composer John Barry, reports the London Paper.


Earlier this month, Ronson -- who worked with Amy on her smash hit album Back to Black -- said the singer was not in a fit state to make music; and that it would be "a miracle of science" if she recorded the soundtrack.


Winehouse's rep confirmed she was no longer in the picture for the coveted soundtrack. "She didn't like the track they were working on and felt it was the wrong thing to get involved in," he said.
