Leona Lewis has the 007-factor for `Quantum of Solace` theme

MEDIA RUMOUR
Following on from earlier talk, X-Factor sensation Leona Lewis is on the brink of being chosen to sing the new James Bond theme tune - according to The Sun.

Film chiefs are talking to Leona’s camp and now think she is the ideal choice to sing the title track for the 22nd Bond blockbuster Quantum Of Solace.

A source revealed yesterday: “It looks like Leona has finally won the race. She is seen as one of the few candidates who has the right profile both sides of the pond to do it. Amy Winehouse was their original choice but she just can’t get her act together and hasn’t got the right image. The Bond guys now look set on Leona. She is reliable and has a great voice for it. Hopefully something could be announced soon.”

Leona has smashed a host of chart records since winning the X Factor in 2006.

Her track Bleeding Love made her the first British female to have a No1 single in America since Kim Wilde 21 years ago.
