British singer Leona Lewis performing at London's Hackney Empire earlier this month, wearing a Vivienne Westwood designed lilac top and black puffball skirt. Lewis has turned down a £1 million offer to pose nude in the men's magazine Playboy. Leona is also releasing her second album "Echo" next week. She is scheduled to go on tour in the UK and Ireland next year. The beautiful mixed race singer is already such a positive role model for girls; she doesn't drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs, and she refuses to wear leather.
Leona Lewis at SoHo in New York City last September. The 5'7" tall singer who rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2006, became the first British artist ever to have her debut album Spirit go straight to number one in the US Billboard charts. Leona's friend told the Daily Mail, "There is no way Leona will strip however much they offer. For starters, she is just far too shy." Lewis has earlier told Closer magazine how she can't stand to being photographed while on the beach: "Being pictured in my bikini was a nightmare, especially for somebody like me. I'm a normal-sized girl and it's embarrassing."
While releasing her book "Dreams" in London last month Leona Lewis was suddenly punched in the face by a deranged man! "It was shocking." Leona said as she recalled the incident to the Mirror. "It's a shocking thing to happen to anyone - to be attacked by a man, especially as a female. Being in this industry you are exposed - more so than other people. I know that I have to look after myself as well."
Role model Leona Lewis is also vegetarian and an animal rights activist, seen here with her family dog, Misty, a rescued Stafford Bull Terrier. Leona and Misty appear in a "Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare" campaign for WSPA. "I support the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) because they are trying to end some of the most appalling acts of animal cruelty in the world," says Leona. "Now I make careful choices like the food I eat and the things I buy." For her fitness Lewis has hired a personal trainer, and she says, "I ride horses and do spinning classes."
