The outrageous pop star looks likely to follow in the footsteps of Madonna, Alicia Keys and Tom Jones who have performed the title track on previous movies in the British spy franchise. Studio executives are expected to ask the 24-year-old singer to write and record a song for consideration in the next few weeks.
"Bond bosses are all huge Gaga fans," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "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."
Michael Buble is also expected to be asked to submit a tape, with studio executives choosing the best song to be in the movie.
Meanwhile, Gaga`s concert rider has been revealed. The singer asks for a cup of tea and some decaf coffee before gigs, and also likes to have low-fat milk, salsa and guacamole dips and wholewheat bread and crackers on hand.
She also requests a plate of cheese, a jar of honey and a whole roast chicken.
Her drinks list is alcohol-free, but includes cola, ginger ale and 12 bottles of still water.
"Despite her out-there image, this rider proves that Lady Gaga is actually quite down-to-earth and normal compared to the diva-like demands of some pop stars," a source said.
