After The Sun started claiming this week that Noel Gallagher would be meeting with 007's people to talk about writing the Skyfall Bond theme, Noel Gallagher came along and shot the whole thing down in flames. 

Writing on his blog (via IGN), he said:

"Apparently I'm being courted by "007 bosses"!!!!! A meeting will be "taking place in the next few days"!!!! With some guy called "Michael G. Wilson" (whoever he is)!!! A "source" says, "nothing has been signed or made official"!!!! Of course it fuckin' hasn't!!!!!! Who IS this fuckin' "source"? Has he been on the "sauce"? Bizarre indeed."

Given that the song that was reportedly up for consideration was called Freaky Teeth, that's probably a good thing. Although it's still way better than the idea of Adele doing the Bond 23 theme. Either way, it's a great excuse for an Oasis fan to listen to a decent Noel Gallagher song!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, now Noel's not doing it, that leaves the way open for everyone's other favourite regional rock legend, Ringo Starr:

Now all we need is for someone to debunk The Sun's other claim that Skyfall will include an action sequence inspired by Indiana Jones. Not because a punch-up on a wooden bridge is a bad idea - just because it's The Sun. 

In other Bond 23 news, this photo of the 10th day of shooting went up on Facebook last Friday...
