Amy gets boot as Leona steps in?

Mon 29 Oct 3:20 PM

Amy Winehouse has lost her plum job as voice of the next James Bond record, according to tabloid rumours.

The bee-hived headline-grabber has been ousted in favour of squeaky clean X Factor winner, Leona.

Leona has just shot to Number One with Bleeding Love, the fastest-selling single this year.

And the speculation is that it will be her, not Amy Winehouse as previously reported, who gets to wrap her tonsils round one of the hottest jobs in British pop (previous occupants include Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney and Tom Jones).

An 'insider' said: "Leona's beaming from ear to ear at being asked to be part of such a huge movie. She thinks it's a real honour."

Winehouse is rumoured to have been given the boot after a summer of allegations about drug addiction and wild behaviour.

The new Bond movie, as yet untitled, is expected to begin filming next year with Daniel Craig again playing the 007 super-spy.
