Leona Lewis has recently premiered the lead single from her third studio album. The track, which is a mellow dance number produced by Sandy Vee and written by Autumn Rowe, is called “Collide”. The British pop singer said that she wanted to show people a different sound of her music in her upcoming album, hence going the dance-route. However, I don’t think the song is strong enough to be a first single or something to be proud of. It sounds like a bad dance remix of a ballad. It has good lyrics and good vocals but it’s very safe and forgettable.

It would appear that Leona Lewis has decided to end her relationship with Lou Al-Chamaa that apparently lasted for about a decade. This is what a source related on the matter: “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.” Well that seems sad… but both Leona Lewis and Lou Al-Chamaa seem more focused on their respective careers than on each other so it probably isn’t that much of a loss.

Lady GaGa may have the fans and the popularity, but it looks like she’s not alone and others have an even more important ingredient: the resources. It looks like Leona Lewis recently made the top of the list of young music millionaires under 30 above artists of the likes of Cheryl Cole of Charlotte Church. The X Factor winner’s fortune has apparently been added up to ten million pounds. Imagine that, Leona Lewis could sustain her own nuclear-powered aircraft carrier… for a few weeks or so. It is here that the true mastery of Simon Cowell surfaces. He’s probably so proud of her about now.

British songstress Leona Lewis has suffered a horse-riding incident when her own horse delivered a nasty headbutt. The horse, which was a birthday present from her friends, turned on Leona after an early morning ride and hit her in the face so hard that it split her lip open and knocked her to the floor. According to sources “Leona has been riding since she was a child and has never had a fear of horses. So she was really shaken up when the horse turned on her. Something startled the horse and it flicked its head back and smacked Leona full in the face. She was knocked flying by the force of it. Thankfully she didn’t need any surgery, but she was told to stay at home and rest just in case she passed out with concussion.” Unlike Madonna, Leona isn’t blaming anyone or anything for the incident.

Leona Lewis has taken to her brand new blog to talk about her last few amazing weeks. The British singing sensation talked about her holidays, performing at Madison Square Garden with Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna, performing on Letternam and shooting the video for her song ‘I Will Be’. Of the video, she said “I got to shoot again with one of my favorite directors, Melina [Matsoukas] who I luv and I’m really proud of what we’ve created. I also got to work with Chace Crawford, who is one of the nicest people I’ve met, super talented and he’s in one of my new fave series ‘Gossip Girl’.”

Leona Lewis was in China to perform during the closing ceremony for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games at the National Stadium in Beijing. Jimmy Page and the X-Factor champ performed the Led Zeppelin classic ‘Whole Lotta Love’ at the closing ceremony. In the original recording done in 1969, Robert Plant sings “I’m gonna give you every inch of my love.” But in the version that Leona sang, she changed the words to “every bit” of my love. The band also agreed to a request from organizers to drop the third verse which includes similar sexual innuendos to fit into the 8-minute performance.
