As we revealed this morning, sources in the US are claiming that Leona Lewis has employed Mariah Carey’s personal trainer to help her get in shape. According to reports in the tabloids, Leona’s American team reckon she’ll do a lot better over there (she’s already had a number one album and single, what more do they want? Is she going to run for president?) if she transforms her body so that she can wear short skirts in photoshoots. We were flabbergasted by the story, and it turns out Leona was too – she says she has no intention of employing the trainer in question, Patricia May. In fact, we’ve just spoken to Leona’s people, and they reckon the story may have originated from Patricia’s camp, to drum up some publicity for her work.

Can’t say we blame her – if we jetted to the Caribbean, we’d mostly just lie down and drink pina coladas…

Yeah you go Leona! I'm glad that she's happy with how she looks, and she looks beautiful. Why would she want to change?

Leona is great!How sad it is nowadays that we all have to make such a fuss over stars who are normal , healthy sizes and want to stay that way. If there weren't so many half-starved zombies around it wouldn't be such a big deal!Curves Rock!

It really would send out such the wrong message to young girls if she goes all skinny. She has a really natural, girl next door achieveable figure and little girls really look up to her. There is nothing wrong with her at all.
