Maybe this story is inspired by the recent Amy Winehouse song, which is being discussed in this thread; but here's a new rumor, posted to RottenTomatoes:
Amy Winehouse Stars in...Another Bond Girl Rumor
Posted by Scott Weinberg on Wednesday, May. 09, 2007, 02:42 AM
Scott Weinberg writes: "A few of my friends assure me that songstress Amy Winehouse is quite talented, which is cool. But recent 007 gossip indicates that she might show up in "Bond 22."
Wouldn't be the first time a singer made a goofy cameo in a James Bond movie. (Yes, I'm looking at you, Madonna.) Buzz from the UK says "Producer Barbara Broccoli has offered Winehouse a part in the CASINO ROYALE sequel after falling in love with the Rehab star's hit album." Which makes about as much sense as offering an acting role to a world-class chef who just made you an awesome dinner.
More likely they'd be talking to Ms. Winehouse about maybe doing the into song for the movie, but hey, maybe she'll actually get a speaking part, too. Expect about 438 more Bond Girl Rumors over the next 12 to 18 months.

Singer Amy Winehouse Talks 'Bond' Rumors

Amy Winehouse is a very good singer, no problems there.
Are you sure about those images there, MNL, or do you go for the skeletel look ?
She looks far better - IMO - in the picture on the right.
I think what MNL is saying is "Better heard than seen--yes to the one on the left, no to the one on the right." I'll agree with that: definitely looks better with some meat on those bones!
That's precisely what I was saying, Hardy.
That's very good news- she'd be a superb choice for the title singer. Give the current single 'Back to Black' a listen- it's not hard to imagine her doing Bond.

The minute I heard Back To Black I thought of Bond. She is terrific and has a very distinctive voice. I wouldn't object to a female vocal again if it were her.
It might work if the themesong was done in an "in-universe" perspective, where, say at the end of the PTS, Bond attends a concert and the song being performed is the title theme...
