http://www.thesun.co...eally-GaGa.htmlBOND films spawn some colourful characters - Baron Samedi, Nick Nack, Jaws, Oddjob, Blofeld and Scaramanga.
But none can match the latest crackpot to be linked with the movie franchise - LADY GAGA.
The bonkers singer may be getting a licence to thrill Bond fans by writing and singing the film's next theme tune. And who better?
She wears a hamster wheel as armour, carries a potentially lethal tea cup and is never without a roll of industrial strength gaffer tape.
Her name even fits seamlessly in the long list of outrageous Bond Girls - Kitty Stroker, Plenty O'Toole, Mary Goodnight, Xenia Onatopp, Honey Rider and Pussy Galore.
GaGa also happens to be perfectly qualified for the gig, given that she is one of the best pop stars on the planet.
She would be near the top, if not top, of my wish-list if I were a Bond bigwig.
A source said: "Bond bosses are all huge GaGa fans. Her sound and sense of drama make her the top choice. GaGa has the look as well as the voice to tackle a thundering ballad. She's a great songwriter too. This is perfect on every level."
The decision to ask GaGa to submit a song was made at a recent project meeting. I was wary because it feels like every time a Bond film comes around, a flurry of names are linked with the gig.
AMY WINEHOUSE was in contention for Quantum Of Solace but threw her chance away in a summer of drunken madness.
If she gets her act together she could be given another chance.
Crooner MICHAEL BUBLE is also in the frame to submit a demo this time. The best effort will get the gig. There is time for months of negotiation because filming has been put back - partly due to the recession and partly to make the film 3D. Until a title is decided the movie, starring DANIEL CRAIG, is being referred to as Bond 23.
The last theme, Another Way To Die, was penned by WHITE STRIPES guitarist JACK WHITE and sung by ALICIA KEYS.
It reached just No9 in the UK charts and was blasted by some fans as the worst ever theme.
GaGa's idol MADONNA has done the Bond job too, so I guarantee this is one offer she would love.
I'm sure it will be a SMERSH hit.
