Congratulations are in order for Rihanna, who's been tipped to star in the next James Bond film.

The upcoming movie, which has the working title Bond 24, is due to begin filming this December.

The Diamonds singer has reportedly been approached by producers to see if she would be interested in a cameo role. No specifics have been announced yet – but we think she's make a great Miss Moneypenny!

Apparently RiRi jumped at the chance to appear alongside 007. The star "is a big fan of the Bond films and has always loved the idea of appearing in one," a source told The Sunday Mirror.

"She didn't even need to think about it, she knows she wants to do it… She's really excited," said the insider.

Bond veteran Daniel Craig will return for his fourth run as the secret agent in the film, which will be released in 2015.

Rihanna's no stranger to the big screen herself, having appeared in the 2012 action-adventure flick Battleship.

We can't wait to see the singer doing her thing with Bond, Q and the gang!
