Leona Gets Seal of Approval From Hollywood Legend!

As the stars celebrated director Martin Scorsese at the Golden Globes last weekend –according to my spies, Scorsese had admiration for one of our fellow Brits – for the former X Factor winner Leona Lewis…

Apparently the film legend told stunning singer Leona that he listens to her hit song ‘Bleeding Love’ every day. Er… Really?

The word is the Oscar-winner plays the track while he runs and is a big fan.

Our Leona couldn’t believe it when he came over to pay her the compliment. A source said: “He was charm personified and told her he listens to I See You, was nominated for Best Original Song, but lost out to The Weary Kind in Crazy Heart.

The thing that surprises me most is not that Marty’s a fan of Leona – granted she is one of our finest exports after all – but that the legendary director likes to listen to power ballads when he works out! I had him down for more of a rock ‘n’ roll man, especially as he’s worked on a documentary about The Rolling Stones and a film about Bob Dylan.

Maybe he’s softening up in his old age and he’s all about the sexy divas now. Can we expect to see a documentary about Celine, Mariah and Whitney as his next project? Hmm… Hollywood never ceases to surprise me!
