A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Leona was really happy with the success of her cover of Snow Patrol's 'Run', so she thought it logical to try her hand at a more rock-based sound.

"She's a huge Coldplay fan and their influence is strong on a number of demos." Leona - who shot to fame after winning UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' in 2006 - is expected to release her new album in November. The record is rumored to feature several star guests, including Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo and super-producer Timbaland.

Leona recently promised her fans will be surprised by the finished LP. The 24-year-old star also revealed she plans to undertake her first ever solo tour once the album is released. She confirmed: "I'll be touring in 2010 and through to the year after. I just can't wait." ]]>

<![CDATA[Leona Lewis lends extra weight to the Summertime Ball line-up]]> http://leonafan.org/?subaction=showfull&id=1244676827&archive=
But the fashion-forward singer's choice of outfit at the weekend certainly didn't help rumours of her weight gain.

Lewis cut a decidedly dumpy figure in the Ali Baba style jumpsuit she wore to perform at the Capital 95.8 Summertime Ball.

With its clingy fabric which billowed at the ankle and strapless bodice, the London-born singer displayed her curvaceous figure as she took to the stage in the black all-in-one.

It was a rare live appearance in the UK for Lewis, 24, who made the switch to the U.S. this year to record and promote an album.

She has been so busy with her career, that she has even had to turn down invitations from the President of the United States.

The X Factor 2006 winner was put on the guest list for a White House party but was unable to attend because of work commitments.

Her spokesman said at the time: 'She really wanted to meet him, but it unfortunately clashed with her schedule to get her second album done.

‘Leona has had studio sessions in LA booked for months and has been working day and night getting things perfectly.'

- I don't care what journalists or reporters say, Leona is fine and rockin' the way she is. Photos of the event with be uploaded ASAP! wink]]>

Currently wrapping production on the as-yet-untitled album, Lewis has reportedly worked with Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, insisting that fans will be surprised by a new sound.

"The music has a different feel this time. It's more of a live, heavier sound with a lot of real instruments. It's something I'll be able to perform live."

Designed for entertaining, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom house has an open living room, dining room and kitchen with glass doors to the backyard. The palm tree-lined outdoor living space includes a plasma TV and a dining and bar area. Stone decks surround the swimming pool.

Lewis, 24, was the 2006 winner of the U.K. talent competition show "The X Factor," and producer Simon Cowell (yes, that's the same Simon Cowell as on "American Idol") became her mentor. A revised edition of her album, "Spirit," made its North America premiere at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart last year.

She is in Los Angeles working on her second album.

<![CDATA[Lonely Leona Lewis throws herself into work as LA life threatens to take its toll]]> http://leonafan.org/?subaction=showfull&id=1242258907&archive=
The X Factor winner, who left her boyfriend and family behind Hackney to build her career in the U.S., didn't look her usual sparkly self as she strolled around Los Angeles yesterday.

The Bleeding Love singer, famous for her trademark radiance, appeared a little worn down as she picked up a coffee in Hollywood before heading to the studio.

With no make up and unkempt hair, she looked a far cry from the glamorous star who is always praised for her poise, polish and sophistication.

And suggestions by tabloid magazines that she has put on weight were borne out by a rather unflattering pair of black leggings.

It seems not even her new £1.5million pad in the Hollywood Hills is enough to cheer her up despite being a considerable upgrade from the £120,000 two-bedroom flat in Hackney she bought last year with her boyfriend, electrician Lou Al-Chamaa.

A source told Now magazine: 'Leona's basically very family orientated and she misses her parents and her boyfriend.

'She's been homesick ever since she went to LA.'

'She has no natural network of friends where she is now and rarely sees her mentor Simon Cowell. His schedule is so busy, the two don't have much time to meet.

'They speak on the phone, but that isn't enough to counter Leona's feelings of isolation.'

It is understood that Leona has also been worried about a fan who was following her and waiting outside her new home.

Another source said: 'She plans to spend a lot more time out in the States at her new home to record her new album.

'She will also need to spend a lot of time promoting it as she really wants to crack America.

'She finds it difficult to be away from her family and has already had trouble with a fan, but she knows she is going to have to do it if she wants to be successful.'

The former Pizza Hut waitress won the third series of The X Factor in 2006 and was handed a £1million recording contract with Simon Cowell's label.

She then signed a further £5million five-album deal and has since gone on to break several records with the sales of her singles and albums.]]>

According to reports, she had told her friends that she had not been feeling comfortable in the house because she felt lonely.

However, an unsettling incident with a fan was the final straw.

"Leona had just gone to the shops to pick up some bits and pieces and was followed all the way back home by this man," the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

"She was completely unsettled by this and was pretty relieved to get back to the house safely. But when she looked out of the window later the man was still there, staring right at her. It freaked Leona out big time. She feared she was being stalked," the source added.

Leona decided to pack her bags and head back to London to see her parents and her boyfriend Lou.

"Right from the off, the place didn't feel right. Every night Leona was on the phone to friends, saying that she was lonely and not enjoying rattling around a huge house by herself," said the source.

"Mates came round to sleep over and keep her company but after she saw the bloke staring at her through the window, Leona decided she'd had enough, and jumped on a plane back to the UK," the source added.

Security at the house is now being beefed up.

The source said: "She's had new electronic gates put in and CCTV installed which links directly to the local police, station. Hopefully that'll put her mind at ease slightly. She's also asked Simon Cowell if he can find Lou, who now works for him, a placement over in the US."]]>

The ‘Bleeding Love’ singer has fuelled reports she will join the pop superstar on stage during his London residency this summer by revealing she is a huge fan.

When asked about the rumours, Leona said with a smile: "I don’t know, I’d love to perform with Michael Jackson. So we’ll see."

Last month, it was claimed Michael wants Leona to perform his sister Janet's part from their 1995 duet 'Scream' for his ‘This It It’ shows at London's O2 arena.

A source said: "Michael has a list of singers he feels could do Janet justice - and Leona is top. He hasn't approached her yet but he's a big fan of everything she has achieved.

"She's massive all around the world and he feels this duet would give both their careers an even bigger boost."

Meanwhile, Leona has spoken out about her relationship with Simon Cowell, who was her mentor when she won UK reality TV show ‘The X Factor’ in 2006.

The 24-year-old star still regularly speaks to the music mogul, but admits he can be difficult to work with.

She said: "I still talk to Simon lots, I am signed to his label and he’s still very much involved in the things I do. He’s honest, very brutal."]]>

The 'Bleeding Love' singer - who went home empty handed despite receiving four nominations last year - is reportedly furious after being ignored in all major categories at the prestigious music honours and is now refusing to attend tomorrow's ceremony (18.02.09).

A source close to Leona - who flew into London at the weekend from America - told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Leona is making a stand and not going. She's more likely to be curled up on the sofa with her boyfriend Lou in East London than to be getting glammed up for the BRITs.

"She may even jet out somewhere on holiday."

The only nomination the 23-year-old star - who shot to fame after winning British TV talent show 'The X Factor' in 2006 - has received is in the Best British Single category for 'Better In Time'.

However, the shortlist for the category is based on sales and airplay, unlike the other honours which are decided by a special panel of industry experts.

The winner of the award is decided by public voting.

Following last year's ceremony, Leona's mentor, music mogul Simon Cowell, blasted the decision not to honour her.

He said: "I don't like the BRITs. Leona at the BRITs should tell you everything about the record business. You should recognise and celebrate success, not sneer at it, wherever the artist comes from."]]>

The singer has only been nominated for Best British single - a category chosen based solely on airplay and sales.

The winning song will therefore be put to a public vote.
Leona, 23, failed to make it into any other category, despite breaking America this year.

Her single Better in Time faces stiff competition though, from acts including fellow X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, Coldplay and blonde bombshell Duffy.
A music source told the Mirror: ' It's a complete travesty. Leona has been overlooked in her own country.

'She should have been a dead-cert for Best Female. She's had the most amazing year - even the new US president wanted her to perform at his inauguration.'

The news will no doubt come as a blow to the Bleeding Love singer, who also missed out on any nominations for the MTV Europe Awards a few months ago.
And she went home empty handed at last year's Brits - despite being nominated four times.

Girls Aloud have been nominated for two awards at this year's show - Best British Single for The Promise and Best British Group.
They will be performing at the awards next month, alongside Kings of Leon, Duffy and U2.
Kylie Minogue and Gavin and Stacey stars James Corden and Mathew Horne will present the show, which takes place at London's Earls Court on February 18th.

Duffy, 24, has been shortlisted in four categories - best female solo artist, best breakthrough act, best single and best album.
Her single Mercy was top of the charts for five weeks and in the last year she has eclipsed Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse as Britain's most popular female star.

Rockferry, Duffy's debut album, was released in March and sold nearly 1.7million copies in Britain, topping the end-of-year charts. It has sold more than six million copies worldwide.]]>

The book, which will include more than 100 new photographs, will hit the shelves in October, shortly before the scheduled release of Lewis' second album, the publisher said on Monday.

"The last two years have been an unbelievable experience for me," said the 23-year-old Londoner, who debuted at No.1 in the key U.S. album chart last year, the first British woman to achieve the feat.

Spirit has sold an estimated five million copies around the world since its release in 2007.

Hodder & Stoughton, which did not disclose the financial details of the deal, said photographs for the autobiography would be taken by Dean Freeman, who also worked on the publisher's collaboration with soccer star David Beckham.

"This will be the first time Leona tells her story of how the X-Factor launched her from waitressing in Pizza Hut in Hackney to stardom on both sides of the Atlantic," said Hodder editor Fenella Bates.

"It is a real-life fairytale and every girl's dream."

But what excites us the most, is Leona’s non-stop caring for animals, and how she doesn’t let her skyrocketing music career get in the way of her ethics.


Thanks to her vegetarian lifestyle and commitment to vegan fashion (Leona is in the process of setting up a fashion line using no skins whatsoever, dontcha know), this compassionate Brit earned herself the crown of Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity in our poll earlier this year, along with Red Hot Chilli Peppers legend, Anthony Kiedis. So far, so good. But then she goes and places a big, fat, juicy cherry on the top by publicly shunning a £1million deal with ‘luxury’ department store, Harrods, because they continue to sell fur.


So, Leona, here’s our way of saying a huuuuge ‘thank you’ for speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for choosing compassion over cash, and sticking to your principles. Enjoy your award!

Lewis had been expected to record 'Halo' and release it as the first single from her second album. The song was written for The X Factor winner by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who also penned 'Bleeding Love'.

The track was then given to Beyonc� because Lewis was "too busy to record it", according to The Sun.

"Leona’s diary is so rammed it didn’t look like she could record it until next year. Ryan didn’t want to hang around, so he gave it to Beyonc�," an insider told the newspaper.

"Simon is miffed about this as he really wanted 'Halo' for Leona. Ryan has proved he’s got the magic touch - 'Bleeding Love' was a massive global hit."

Lewis is expected to release the follow up to debut album Spirit in 2009 and embark on a world tour the following year.


I know for one and think I speak for all Leona's fans that I am sure excited and can't wait for that second cd! smile]]>

Lewis has admitted admits her life was changed after a trip to South Africa earlier this year for Sport Relief.

"When I was in Africa I wanted to take home all the kids. They were so cute. All of them had been orphaned because of HIV and it was heart-rending," she said.


"There are so many who need help - both here and abroad - you just don't know where to start," she added.]]>

P. Diddy, real name Sean Combs, told the Daily Mirror: "I want that girl on my next album. I'm a huge fan. Not only is she so, so beautiful, she has a great voice. She is extremely talented, and it's great she's from England.

"She has one of the best voices I've heard. I'm already thinking about my next album and definitely want to make it work, so she's on it.

"I had Christina Aguilera on my last album, but it's all about Leona Lewis on my next."

Combs also explained more about his admiration for David Beckham and Lewis Hamilton, saying: "I would love to do a fashion range with David Beckham. Us two together doing business would be amazing."

Referring to Hamilton, the rapper then said: "Lewis is the man! A true hero. He is going to teach me how to race, can you believe it? Honestly, if I was up against him I don't know who would win. We'll see." ]]>

<![CDATA[Leona's New Blog]]> http://leonafan.org/?subaction=showfull&id=1210369738&archive=
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. I’ve been lucky enough to visit two countries I’ve never been to before and never imagined that I would!

I headed to Australia straight from LA - it was so beautiful flying in and looking out of the plane window, what a stunning country.

I spent about a week there, and it was really incredible. I went to the MTV Awards and presented an award with Brian McFadden - he was good fun. I also performed a live event for fans and media, sang on the live final of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ (the dancers are so talented!) and also Sunrise (an early morning TV show)! It was super-busy but I got to perform for a lot of people and take my music to the world, which has always been my biggest dream!

I also got to do a bit of sightseeing - I saw the famous bats in the Botanical Gardens (there are literally hundreds and they are SO big!), I did a ferry trip across from Circular Quay harbour (where the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are!) and went for a walk and dinner at Bondi. Lou was with me so it was nice to experience it together.

I can’t wait to go back to Australia and spend more time there. I only experienced Sydney on this visit but I hear the rest of the country is simply incredible!

I then flew onto Tokyo in Japan, which is where I’m currently writing!

I absolutely love it here- the people are so gracious and lovely. I’ve so enjoyed looking around and the shopping (especially in Shibuya & Harajuku!)

I’ve been fortunate enough to perform on some music shows here, Music Fair, Music Station and a breakfast TV called Mezamasshi, they were all incredible fun. I had a translator who came to all the shows with me called Hitomi, she was amazing and even taught me some Japanese words - Arigato!!!

I did a showcase in Tokyo where I performed four tracks - the night before there was an earthquake so we were all woken up by it at like 2am! We are staying in the tallest building in Tokyo and you could really feel it swaying! The following day there was another tremor while I was performing! Yikes!!!

I’ve had the most amazing experiences in these countries and I’m so excited about coming back and visiting more in the future, the support I have received is so overwhelming and I am so grateful and thankful to everyone who has made this trip so enjoyable.

So I now head back to LA to shoot my video for ‘Forgive Me’ - I’m not going to tell you the idea behind it, as I want it to be surprise, I’m super excited!

Luv

Leona

She said: "Honestly, there has been so many, 'This is the new her,' and I'm like, 'OK, show me the new her. Can she come and work for me and be my double?'"

"And I'm not particular talking about this girl Leona, because I only heard her once and I didn't really hear a true similarity, particularly in the style of music.

"It is what it is and critics have compared me to so many people who are not really singers, and they're certainly not writers."

Mariah says if she spent her time worrying about her chart rivals it would depress her.

She added to the Observer Music Monthly magazine: "If I was to focus on the comparisons and really dwell on that, it would bring me down so I just try to pray that I lose the sprit of jealousy, it's not a good one - envy is a really powerful thing."

The new album, Spirit, sold more than 205,000 copies in its first week.

Her manager, Simon Cowell stated "What Leona has achieved is simply incredible. This is the hardest market to crack and for her debut album to go in at number one is unbelievable."

Lewis was nominated for four Brit Awards earlier in 2008.

It seems she is making the transition from Britain to the U.S. just fine.]]>

BBC Sport Relief, which takes place between Friday March 14 and 16 aims to harness the power and passion of sport to change lives for the better. Former X Factor winner Leona will be flying to Africa in the coming weeks to see some of the work undertaken by the charity.

Footprints In The Sand is based on the most universally downloaded poem ever by the same name.

Leona - who is up for four awards at next month's Brits - said: "I recorded Footprints In The Sand in the UK with Steve Mac and it's a very special song to me. Originally it was a poem, it's very inspirational so we put it into a song. I think it is very moving, with a very emotional lyric and I really love to sing this song."]]>
