Winehouse dropped from Bond project

Amy Winehouse

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse has been dropped as the vocalist for the next James Bond movie.

Now, X Factor winner Leona Lewis is in the lead to do a song for the movie, contactmusic.com reports. Lewis' current record 'Bleeding Love' is doing well on the charts and she said: 'I'm just hoping for the best.'

Winehouse's recent problems with drugs and alcohol have garnered too much negative press coverage and so the more wholesome Lewis is the preferred one.
