R&B star Beyonce Knowles has reportedly been approached to replace Amy Winehouse and record the theme song for the forthcoming Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.

Rehab hitmaker Winehouse was rumoured to have been dropped as the film’s official musical muse after DJ Mark Ronson told reporters he had scrapped his 007 collaboration with the singer, because she was not "ready" to work on music after a recent return to her erratic ways. But on Saturday, Winehouse confirmed that she has, in fact, completed the song - although she is unsure whether movie bosses will choose to green-light the track for use in the latest superspy offering.

Now industry insiders claim Knowles has become the favorite to record the title track - although her representatives have yet to comment on the rumors.// newsdesk
