Beyonce to sing the Bond theme?

Producers of “Quantum of Solace” are apparently talking to Beyonce Knowles about singing the next Bond theme. The song to be recorded was written by Amanda Ghost and Beyonce would also work with Bond composer John Barry.

Amy Winehouse had the first “crack” at the Bond Theme working with Mark Ronson, but choose a different “crack” instead.  Laughably, Winehouse’s spokesperson said at the time that Amy” “felt it was the wrong thing to get involved in.” Actually Ronson allegedly realized it was hopeless working with Winehouse in the current state she’s been in and abandoned the project.

Back to Beyonce, who after recently marrying Jay-Z, is rumored to be planning on leaving the music industry very soon. Her third album, which will be released this year, might be her last one.  Supposedly, Beyonce plans to spend her time scouting talent for hubby Jay-Z’s upcoming label, The Carter Music Group.  Beyonce’s first protégé is rumored to be an R&B artist named Chelsea Thomas.   So a Beyonce Bond song may be her swan song as well.
