Tuning in to tinseltown's lighter shade of dark

    Leona Lewis has slimmed down from a size 14 to a size 10 after undergoing a major detox while in LA recording her album. And now she says she feels less self-conscious about her weight than she used to.

    But I think she may have taken it a bit too far. Leona looks gorgeous, as always, in the pics, but she’s getting a bit too skinny for my liking. I hope being in La La land hasn’t got to her because I think I prefer her with a few more curves!

    Apparently Leona winced when a member of her team told Grazia magazine that she’s lost weight recently, saying ‘That’s what everyone’s been saying but I’m quite an average size. I’ve always been conscious of my weight.’

    Surely if you’ve dropped two dress sizes though, you’d know about it!

    And admits that being famous also makes her more self-conscious about what she wears.

    The sexy star admits: ‘Now I sometimes feel like I can’t wear certain things, so I’ve stopped looking at photos of myself. You become more self-conscious.

    You’re gorge Leona – but don’t lose any more weight please!

    Leave the extreme skinny to Vic-bore-ia Beckham!

  • 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!

    Leona-LewisShe already has the voice and the beauty, but clearly that’s not enough for Leona Lewis. Lewis is now teaming up with choreographer Travis Payne, the man behind the King of Pop – Michael Jackson’s ill-fated tour for her very own grueling 14 month world tour.

    Dance guru Payne, will be assisting the singer with all her moves, the shows will be staged from next summer onwards and the X Factor winner is said to be considering a ‘Garden of Eden’ styled-theme for the shows.

    A source said: “Since Leona has played so few full-length concerts she’s still quite a raw performer. And if she’s going to pack out arenas she needs some polish.

    Lewis is expected to be performing to audiences of 20,000 or more, her record company SyCo is determined to transform Leona into a global touring powerhouse and told Lewis, “Money is no object!” Lucky girl…
