Talkback: Who Should Sing the Next James Bond Theme Song?

Composer David Arnold this week reaffirmed his interest in having Amy Winehouse contribute the vocals to the next James Bond theme song, which Arnold will assist in writing for Sam Mendes’s untitled 007 film set to shoot this fall. It’s a natural inclination considering the singer’s vintage ’60s style and tone (assuming you want to go vintage; there’s always the Duran Duran or Chris Cornell route, I guess), but then there’s that minor problem of Winehouse being unshakably strung out on booze and/or drugs. Plan B might be in order. That’s where you come in.

First Look at Sigourney Weaver’s Vampire Getup in Vamps

Director Amy Heckerling gave us Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless , so it’s only appropriate that she raise the bar on her brand of socially hierarchical fun with a stark left turn: Vamps , a romantic comedy starring Clueless alums Alicia Silverstone and Wallace Shawn, Sigourney Weaver, and Krysten Ritter, ensconces us in a world of vampires — and not the whiny, blanched ones. Though Heckerling’s reunion with Silverstone is plenty enticing, Weaver’s role as queen of the vampires warrants a few double-takes. Check out new pictures posted to the in-production film’s Facebook page.

Could Oprah Winfrey Host the Academy Awards Next Year?

Take this with the comically large grain of salt it most certainly deserves, but: Chicago Sun-Times celebrity journalist Bill Zwecker reports that Oprah Winfrey is at the top of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences list to host the 84th annual Academy Awards in 2012. Winfrey’s hosting duties could possibly come with an OWN -only behind-the-scenes component, in an effort help the ratings-deficient cable network. If this comes true, hopefully Olympia Dukakis winds up in the front row. [ Chicago Sun-Times ]
