Singing sensation Leona Lewis was born on 3 April 1985 in the London Borough of Islington. 

She is an extremely successful British pop and R&B singer–songwriter.

After earlier unsuccessful attempts to become a singer, the former pizza waitress was persuaded by her long-term boyfriend to enter the British Television series The X Factor.

And Leona made TV and recording history.

On 16 December 2006 Leona Lewis became the winner of the third series of The X Factor.

And her meteoric rise to fame and celebrity status began in earnest.

Leona Lewis Recording Artist:

Since that time, Leona Lewis has become a multi-platinum selling artist and three time Grammy Award nominee.

Her debut single "A Moment Like This" became the fastest selling UK single after being downloaded over 50,000 times within thirty minutes of its release.

Her second single, "Bleeding Love", reached number one position in over thirty singles charts around the world.

Leona Lewis And PETA:

Leona Lewis is also a vegetarian, an animal lover and a keen horse rider.

She won PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian along with Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis in 2008, and in 2009 with actor Scott Maslen.

It was no contest when PETA chose her as their Person Of The Year for 2008.

Leona Lewis follows up her love of animals by being a supporter of the World Society for the Protection of Animals.

And she showed her convictions when turning down a massive $1 million offer to open the Harrods sale, because the department store stocks fur.

Leona Lewis And The Gossip Columns:

Leona Lewis has remained under the celebrity media spotlight ever since her early days on the X Factor, which is not surprising, given her talent and looks.

All the celeb gossip columns and popular papers tried to find some scandal on Leona,  so she easily made front page news on 14th October 2009.

Leona Lewis Gets Attacked:

However, this wasn’t a sex scandal, but an attack on Leona Lewis by a stalker.

Leona was at a book signing for her auto-biography, ‘Dreams’ at the Piccadilly branch of Waterstone’s book store in central London,

But suddenly all hell broke loose as a man appeared from the crowd and punched Leona hard in the head. Her attacker was Peter Kowalczyk, a 29-year-old south London man.

Running away, holding her head, Leona Lewis was obviously hurt and in pain.  She had to have emergency hospital treatment and cancelled several engagements over the following few days.

It was later reported that her attacker had a history of mental health problems.  It was suggested that he may have been stalking Leona and attacked her because he was jealous of her winning The X Factor. 

Evidently Leona’s attacker had entered the contest himself, but had been rejected by the show’s producers. He was detained under the mental health act for an indeterminate period.

Not a newspaper to shy away from a sensational front page story, the British ‘Sun’ newspaper had its own discussion of  ‘why Leona Lewis recovered so quickly from her attack’.

They reported that ‘it is all down to her tough upbringing’.

Evidently, in an exclusive interview with The Sun, the ebony singer explained that growing up in a rough part of East London had prepared her for anything.

"I’m from Hackney, so I’m hard. I’m not going to let something like that bother me.”

Well, I always thought Leona Lewis was born in Islington…

But whatever you make of The Sun’s interview (and let’s face it, they are a newspaper who will look for celebrity gossip, even when there isn’t any),…it is certainly true that Leona Lewis has strength and resourcefulness.

Otherwise there is no way the former pizza waitress would have become the massive star she is today.

Of course, what many people are waiting for is some really juicy gossip on Leona Lewis, and the press and paparazzi are always looking out for something ‘scandalous’ to report.  But they are finding it difficult., because so far she is being a good girl.

Leona is sticking with her long-term boyfriend, attending all the awards without a hitch…and she is belting out songs like the fantastic female artist she is.

What more could you ask for….?

This beautiful ebony R&B singer is sexy enough without all the scandal.  Don’t you think….?
