Leona Lewis to Sing at Simon Cowell’s Wedding?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Weddings,
Leona Lewis would sing "Happy" at Simon Cowell's wedding.
The music mogul recently claimed he would have all his acts perform when he weds girlfriend Lauren Silverman and his X Factor protege - who shot to fame in 2006 with Simon's guidance - believes he would make her sing the hit ballad, which she recorded in 2009.
"He'd probably get me to sing 'Happy' because I think that's one of his favorites of my songs," she said.
The track is about taking chances no matter the potential risk, with lyrics including, "I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound, don't care about all the pain in front of me, 'cause I'm just trying to be happy."
Simon, 54, is expecting his first child - a boy - with Lauren and Leona, 28, admits it's "weird" to think of her close pal becoming a father. "It's so weird. I never thought I'd see the day but I think it's amazing. It's so lovely having a baby. I'm so happy for him," she added.

Leona Lewis Isn’t Worried About Losing Fame

Leona Lewis would be "fine" if her celebrity status disappeared tomorrow.
The "Bleeding Love" hitmaker shot to fame after winning the third series of The X Factor in 2006 with the help of her mentor, Simon Cowell, but she admitted she wouldn't be too worried if she wasn't perceived as a star anymore: "Simon has always told me to trust my instincts and so that's what I've always done. I'd love to sing for the rest of my life, but if my celebrity status disappears tomorrow then I'll be completely fine with that, I really will."
The 28-year-old beauty is known for her powerful ballads, despite being more of an opera singer when she was younger, and she is hoping Simon will take her "more seriously" as a classical performer since she tasted success in the music industry:
"Well I did train in opera initially. I didn't actually switch to contemporary until I was in my teens. I wanted to be a classical singer originally. I told him [Simon] I'd love to make an opera album, and he was like, 'Yes, you should, at some point, blah blah blah, whatever.' I don't think he took it seriously. Perhaps he will now."

Leona Lewis will "definitely adopt children."
The "Bleeding Love" hitmaker doesn't know if she'll have kids of her own but is determined to give a disadvantaged child a home after learning about her mum's childhood spent in care. Leona describes her mother Maria as a "hero" for her providing her with a wonderful home and giving her a sense of family unity.
"My mum is a hero to me, that's given me a very strong sense of family loyalty to those I trust. I will definitely adopt children. I'm not sure if I want my own."
The 28-year-old - who is a strict vegetarian and a campaigner for animals rights - has been working non-stop this year after teaming up with The Body Shop in March to create her own limited-edition make-up and fragrance range, which will feature bold, shiny lip gloss and shimmer palettes. Leona has also just completed her Glassheart Tour, which kicked off in April and hit 21 different venues across Germany and the United Kingdom.

Leona Lewis has got back together with ex-boyfriend Dennis Jauch.
The "Lovebird" hitmaker - who is believed to have been dating One Direction singer Liam Payne for around a month - has reportedly reconciled with the German dancer after the pair were spotted hand-in-hand following a romantic meal at Bluebird in Chelsea, London, on Thursday night.
"They arrived at the restaurant hand-in-hand and as soon as they sat down they were laughing and sitting very close. It was clear to see the spark had been reignited. After they came out of the restaurant they jumped in a cab and Dennis put his arm around Leona and was cuddling her. He looked very protective of her. They whizzed off to Chinawhite nightclub," a source said.

Leona Lewis has lots in common with Liam Payne.
The singer is reportedly dating the One Direction hitmaker - who is eight years her junior - and says they share similar interests despite their age gap and she is flattered by his constant compliments about her looks.
"You'd be surprised how much we have in common. He's great. We see each other when we can. It's very flattering to get compliments like that. It's cute... I'm not saying [if we're together]. I'm having fun and enjoying myself. If you have a bond with someone it doesn't come into it. I'd date someone younger or older, ages doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity," Leona, 27, said.

Leona Lewis’ Ex-Boyfriend Demanding Money From Split
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Leona Lewis’ ex-boyfriend is reportedly demanding a $2 million payout for helping her get famous.
The singer’s childhood sweetheart Lou Al-Chamaa has asked for the huge sum of cash as he believes he has played a big part in her success. The former electrician claims to have filled in the form for her to audition for UK TV talent show The X Factor, which she went on to win, making her a global superstar worth millions.
“He believes he has played a huge role in Leona’s success. They have been together for more than 10 years and he has encouraged her to fulfil her potential. He believes he has the rights of a common-law husband. He even filled in her X Factor application form and believes he then played a huge role in her success.”
Leona and Lou’s split last month was said to be amicable and was blamed on their busy work schedules. The pair met aged 10 when they lived on the same street in Hackney, east London as children.

Leona Lewis Calls it Quits With Boyfriend
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Rumors,
British singer Leona Lewis has ended her decade-long relationship with boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa.
The “Bleeding Love” singer and Lou - who met when they were just 10 - decided to call it quits after Leona’s busy work schedule stopped them from being able to spend any quality time together.
“Things have been under pressure for ages between them and they’ve finally realized that things are not going to be able to progress. Leona’s schedule means she’s in the States a lot when Lou’s in London and then when he goes out she’s over here. Then there’s the fact she’s been totally immersed in preparing for her tour. They’ve barely spend any time together whatsoever,” a friend told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.
The final straw is believed to have come on Wednesday when Lou didn’t turn up to see Leona perform at London’s O2 Arena, despite living just down the road in Hackney. “Not showing up on Wednesday was the final straw. She’ll always treasure her time with Lou, but she knows it’s a relationship that’s seen better times,” the source revealed.
Just yesterday, Leona took to Twitter to thank her fans for being there for her: “Thank u for being so supportive. Remember to always shine and never let anyone dim your light. U have the power within to achieve everything(sic).”
Unhappy Singer Leona Lewis
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Charity, Kind Acts, Rants,
Leona Lewis wishes she could “just sing” and forget about red carpets and promotional tours.
The “Happy” singer sometimes dreams about throwing away her celebrity lifestyle for a more normal existence, but will put up with almost anything if it will “help people.”
“I definitely have moments when I come home and shut the door and think that all I want to do is sing. But then I think, wait a minute—how are people going to hear my music? The bottom line is that if I can inspire, create awareness and help someone or an animal in any way, then it’s all been worth it.”
