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…

Wearing a long dark black dress, singer Leona Lewis performed her latest single “Happy” on stage last night (Thur Nov 5) at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards, held at the O2 Arena in Berlin, Germany.

We love Leona and judging solely on vocals, she nailed it! But her performance was definitely forgettable because she just stood in one spot … the … entire … performance, which is really boring. We were hoping she would at least slowly walk down that big azz catwalk as the song progressed or something! It’s a good thing she’s VERY easy on the eyes and had all of those nice visual effects on the screen helping her out.

Leona’s sophomore album Echo is set to be released November 17th in the U.S. (Nov 16 in the U.K.) via J Records. Check out a video of her EMA performance after the cut…

Pop and R&B singer/songwriter Leona Lewis performed live on stage Monday night (Nov 2) in London, England at the Hackney Empire. She admits that she was terrified shortly before she hit the stage to perform at her first ever solo full length concert, but she says it went by so fast and she wants to do it more often by going on a world tour next year

“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,” said Lewis. “I was so worried about falling over in front of the audience. I have never done anything like that before. I was so nervous,” she added.

It seems everyone is suffering from leaks these days. Another track has surfaced from Leona Lewis‘ upcoming album Echo. The track is titled “Lost Then Found” and was produced by Ryan Tedder.

“Lost Then Found” is very nice and naturally, Leona sounds amazing on it, but it seems like these typical ballad songs are the only thing she’s good at. It’s nothing special and if you’ve heard one Leona track, you’ve heard them all. On the bright side, she is trying out new styles by having another vocalist on the track.

D/L: LEONA LEWIS – I GOT YOU

X-Factor Season 3 winner Leona Lewis was attacked by an unidentied young man at a book signing meet and greet session for her new book “Dreams” at Waterstone’s booksellers in Piccadilly earlier today (Oct 14)! Her publicist, Stuart Bell, released a statement shortly after confirming the incident:

“Leona was the victim of an unprovoked attack. The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought. Leona is understandably shaken and apologizes to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings.”

Lewis was posing for pictures and signing autographs Wednesday when a 29-year-old man came up and hit her. Security immediately reacted, escorted Leona to safety and arrested the jerk on the spot.

She was taken to see a doctor just to be on the safe side and can be seen in the picture above (L) leaving the signing in a shocked/shaken state. London’s Metropolitan police say the man was arrested on suspicion of assault and is currently being held in their custody.
