The Beatles legend - who sang the title track for hit 1973 Bond film Live and Let Die - thinks troubled singer Amy has the perfect voice for a theme
song, and offered some advice to her.

He said: “I think Amy Winehouse would be really good, and I think she would do a really good job. My advice to her would be not to try and rhyme Solace with anything - that’s too hard.”

Paul also said despite being responsible for one of the most popular Bond tunes of all time, he wouldn’t want to have the responsibility again.

He added: “I definitely wouldn’t do it again. I have been trying to think of something to rhyme with Solace and all I can come up with is Wallace! I don’t envy whoever is going to do the song!”

Other singers who have recorded a 007 theme tune include, Dame Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, Sir Tom Jones, Carly Simon and Lulu.

Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this year’s Grammy Awards because her request for a visa has been turned down by the U.S. Embassy, her publicist said Thursday.

“Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery,” The Outside Organization, which counts the troubled retro-soul sensation among its clients, said in a statement.

Winehouse shot to fame with the autobiographical single “Rehab.”

The 24-year-old singer and her acclaimed “Back to Black” album are nominated in six categories for at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Her potent blend of blues, jazz, pop and soul has won praise from critics and fans, but Winehouse has become as famous for her chaotic personal life as for her music.

Since the album’s U.S. release last year, she has canceled a slew of appearances amid reports of drug use.

Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is in jail awaiting trial on charges of assault and lying to police.

In a grainy video that circulated online Tuesday Amy Winehouse, 24, left, appears to smoke crack and claims to have taken “about six Valium.” It was posted on the Web site for The Sun, a British tabloid (thesun.co.uk), and an accompanying article, inset, said the video was taken early Friday morning at Ms. Winehouse’s London home, and that the two-minute clip follows “a 19-minute binge in which she snorted powdered ecstasy and cocaine.” Her record label, Universal, said in a statement: “We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems.” Contradictory reports circulated online on Tuesday about whether Ms. Winehouse had been taken to a rehab clinic. (She had a hit with “Rehab,” in which she sings about refusing treatment.) A spokeswoman for her label declined to comment on that issue.

The desperate singer has told friends she’s in the final stages of talks with an adoption agency and plans to go ahead with the move very soon.

This latest twist in the Britney saga comes after the recent news that hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE has been given full custody of the children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.

My snapper caught Britney, who still has access to the kids, enjoying a precious moment with her boys at her home in LA on Friday.

Friends feel that Britney has decided to adopt the two six-year-old tots from China in a frantic bid to fill the void left by losing her sons to K-Fed.

Britney’s bad week got even worse when she was banned from driving with the kids in the car after she ran a red light in Hollywood.

And in another worrying move for the former Pop Princess, I can reveal she is splashing out £25,000 on her OWN funeral.

Apparently, Brit has forked out the cash because she fears her spiralling lifestyle may lead to an early grave.

The grim revelation has friends and family worried that Brit is growing increasingly depressed and that her unhealthy lifestyle is taking its toll.

But pals are baffled at the double whammy surprise.

A source close to Britney told me: “It doesn’t seem that Britney has thought this through completely. Adoption and a funeral? The two don’t exactly go hand-in-hand.

“Paying for a funeral is a sensible thing to do—but not when you’re only 25!

“It’s a case of too much, too soon with Britney.

“Not a week goes by without something strange happening to her now. She’s doing herself no favours.”

If Brit does go through with the adoption, she’ll join the club of celeb mums who have done the same, including MADONNA and ANGELINA JOLIE.
