I imagine it had to be hard to pick herself back up after the attack at her book signing, but she just keeps on truckin’!

She said, “I wasn’t nervous until I got to the side of the stage, then I started shaking. I felt it went so fast – and now I just want to do it again. I can’t wait to tour next year.”

Part of her nervous anxiety came from knowing that former mentor Simon Cowell was in the audience.

She added, “I was so worried about falling over in front of Simon during ‘Outta My Head’. I only had a day to learn the steps. I’ve never done anything like that before. I was so nervous.”

I hope she brings her show to the States. I hear they are sparing no expense.

The tour will reportedly have a Garden of Eden theme and money is said to be of no object while preparations are being made for her concerts.

A souce said, “Everyone at SyCo is determined to transform Leona into a global touring powerhouse. 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. She’s been having lessons with a confidence coach in a bid to improve her stage presence.”

She is also rumored to be working with Travis Payne, the man responsible for some of the choreography done for Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ tour.

It’s being rumored now that Justin Timberlake and Leona Lewis will be teaming up to record their version of Whitney Houston’s song, “I Will Always Love You”.

Here’s a refresher for those of you who haven’t heard the original:

I’ve long been a Whitney Houston fan, before she got strung out. But I can say that just not everyone can do her vocals, because the woman can sing.

A source says of the Timberlake/Lewis collaboration, “They will record the track in the next few months and are just waiting for a period when they’re both free to go into the studio. Leona and Justin are huge fans of each other’s music and are raring to go.”

Let’s hope they don’t murder the song terribly.

P.S. I know it’s a Dolly Parton song, originally, but I don’t recognize country as a musical form in my house. And besides that, the song really isn’t duet material.

Coldplay was planning to pack in as much stuff as they could possibly accomplish so that they could give up music by the end of next year. So that would lead me to believe that this rumor might be true.

Leona Lewis might have Coldplay appear on her second album. She wants to give her new album a little bit of a “rockier edge”, and having the band guest on the album might just accomplish that for her.

A source says, “Leona would love to work with Coldplay and knows Chris Martin likes her voice. She would love to sing a duet with him. If not, maybe he could write a song for her. Chris is open to all kinds of music and isn’t at all snobby about what some see as cheesy pop.”

Is this a duet that you’d like to hear?

Leona Lewis is reportedly in talks to design a fashion line for Topshop.

The singer is supposedly meeting with Topshop owner Philip Green later on this month.

A source says, “Philip and Leona have a dinner booked in later this month. They have fitted it in after he returns from Ibiza and before she heads back to the States. He knows she is emerging into one of the world’s top pop stars and wants to discuss her doing her own Topshop range. She’s a beautiful girl and a huge star but also has a great girl-next-door quality that means her style will appeal to lots of young women. Leona is really excited.”

Leona has previously said that she would like to design a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable and animal friendly.

Leona Lewis is set to scorea huge payout for any future personal appearances, according to sources.

Reportedly, a private bidder has been offered $2 million by an unknown bidder, says the Daily Mirror:

A source tells the publication, “Leona is one of the most sought after stars around. She has little say in the fee charges – big money sponsors literally name their fee and her management respond accordingly. She is adamant much of the profit goes straight back to her favorite charities.”

Is Leona worth $2 million? I’ve heard Bleeding Love and I wasn’t all that impressed. Were you?

Sources say that Leona Lewis is in line for a $100 million deal because of her song Bleeding Love going ot #1.

She already has a five-record $9 million deal with Sony BMG, but it’s rumored that Clive Davis is ready to tear up her contract and offer her the $100 million to stay signed with the label.
