ALICIA KEYS, JACK WHITE TEAM FOR 'BOND' THEME: Plus, singer apologizes to Indonesian fans over tobacco sponsor; producer wants her for 'Last Man.'
*It's official – rumors of Alicia Keys being considered to record the theme song for the next James Bond film have proven true. The Grammy winner has teamed with White Stripes singer Jack White for the collaboration, titled "Another Way to Die."
The first duet in Bond soundtrack history – written and produced by White, who also played drums – will be released Oct. 28 via Keys' J Records label as part of the soundtrack for "Quantum of Solace," the 22nd film in the James Bond franchise. The movie will be released in North America on Nov. 7.
Meanwhile, a movie producer is looking to cast Keys as a bodyguard in his upcoming film "Y: The Last Man," an adaptation of the Brian K. Vaughn property about the last surviving male human.
According to Web site UGO, filmmaker JC Spink is looking at Keys to play Agent 355, the man's bodyguard who works for a mysterious U.S. government agency.
"I think Alicia Keys would be fantastic," said Spink. "Or Zoe Saldana. By then 'Star Trek' will be out and she'll be huge. I don't think Jada Pinkett Smith would be right but a lot of people like her."
Meanwhile, Keys has reportedly issued an apology to fans in Indonesia after discovering one of her forthcoming concerts was sponsored by tobacco firm Philip Morris.
In an open letter to the entertainer, signed by several anti-tobacco agencies, anti-smoking group Tobacco Free Kids said the sponsorship was "inconsistent with her advocacy for children's health through her involvement in Keep A Child Alive, a campaign to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in poor countries."
The letter urged Keys to "put the health of Indonesia's children first" and remove the advertising or cancel her concert.
In her statement, the Grammy winner said: "I apologize for any misleading advertising initially associated with the show. I'm an unyielding advocate for the well-being and health of children around the world and do not condone or endorse smoking. I look forward to bringing my music and message to my wonderful fans in Jakarta."
