Amy Winehouse has been denied a U.S. visa. While that means she can’t perform live at the upcoming Grammys, she will perform via satellite.

This denial shouldn’t affect her songwriting work for the new James Bond #22 movie, Quantum of Solace. The movie is being filmed first in London and then in Vancouver (I believe). But her vocal work is likely to be recorded in the UK.

Here’s an interesting development. Amy Winehouse, who has an exceptional voice and has been looking healthy during a break from rehab, has been offered the chance to pen and perform the theme song for Bond movie #22, Quantum of Solace, which is currently shooting in London.

I know little about the film other than than current James Bond actor Daniel Craig says that the title is actually important to the plot. Oh that and that there might actually be two Bond girls: Olga Kurylenko (official) and Gemma Arterton (presumed), and that the new movie takes off from where Casino Royale left off.

Anyway, I think Winehouse will be perfect. (In fact, I can almost hear in my head a version of A View to a Kill by her.) But there’s one serious condition: she has to stay sober. Would that more celebs had this requirement. The only question I have, though, is that now that she’s moving in with the Osbournes, is she going to get any songs written with Ozzy around? I fear that either Winehouse might have to listen to Ozzy’s crazy stories about when he was still human. Or maybe end up doing a remake of Paranoid.
