British pop star Leona Lewis already has a reputation for being a good girl, but now she says she’s not only a good girl … she’s a “good diva.” And she’s not going around spending unnecessary money unlike her celebrity counterparts.

“The term ‘diva’ has such a negative connotation, but I see myself as a kind of good diva. I’m a next-door diva,” she said in the latest issue of Petra magazine.

Leona says she doesn’t make crazy demands and insists that she’s very frugal, unlike most pop stars in the industry. And her biggest purchases so far have been her house and her two cost-efficient environmentally friendly whips.

“The biggest things I’ve bought are a house and my two cars. One of the cars is a Mini Cooper. But in Los Angeles I always drive a Hybrid Toyota Prius which is very environmentally friendly.”

Here are a few pics of the “good diva” with Adam Lambert, Monique Coleman, Angela Simmons, LL Cool J, LaToya Jackson and more on the red carpet of the US Weekly Hot Hollywood Event. The star-studded event was held Wednesday night (Nov 18) at Vouyer in Los Angeles. Continue reading for the rest of the pictures…

All the real rappers were in the A performing at the Swagga Like Us Show. But since 50 Cent isn’t a real rapper, he opted to perform at Day 2 of the 2009 Bamboozle Left concert series Sunday night in Laguna Hills, California. Blah … he’s not welcome here anyway.

Russell Simmons hit up the 24th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Saturday too, and he brought along his main squeeze Julie Henderson. He doesn’t like for “us” (bloggers) to call her that, but isn’t that what she is? We’d hardly consider a “friend.” Maybe with benefits, but never just “a friend.”

Musician Lenny Kravitz performed at what they call a “private concert” at TSF Studio early Monday in Aubervilliers, Northern Paris (France). Aren’t all concerts/shows technically “private?” You can’t get in unless you have a ticket or some sort of other invite. Unless Lenny was out there by himself, how can they call it a private show?

R&B singer Alicia Keys attended the National Black Theatre’s Communication Arts Program Symposium Friday in New York City. In other Alicia news, she recently announced that despite her talented musical background, she had to learn how to play the cello for her role in The Secret Life of Bees, on DVD March 31st. She added that even though she stopped practicing after filming wrapped, she does have plans on pursuing the instrument in the future.

“I had to work hard at it and I was constantly practicing, constantly learning and re-learning the proper way to play. It takes a year or so just to learn how to hold the bow properly and use it the right way, so just making it feel effortless and look effortless was a challenge. It had to look as if I’d been playing for 15 or 20 years. That took a lot of practice – but I’m used to discipline and practice … I didn’t play after finishing the film but I do want to rediscover it and I will probably start again from the beginning and learn properly,” said the star.”
