Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis shot to fame in 2006 and has captivated the public ever since. AS one of the world's most popular singers, Lewis takes advantage of her time in the spotlight to help her favorite causes. She has made several dreams come true through her work with Rays of Sunshine, which grants wishes to terminally ill children. She also performed at a benefit concert for the organization.

As the face of the Teenage Cancer Trust's sun safety campaign, Shunburn, Leona urged young people to protect themselves to avoid damaging sunburn. She designed a special headscarf to raise money for the organization. She also encourages people to get active by working with Sport Relief, a UK-based organization that raises money to help disadvantaged people. She has traveled to Africa with the organization, and in 2008, released the official Sport Relief single. She also raised money by auctioning off the Roberto Cavalli dress she wore to the Brit Awards to benefit the cause.

Multi-platinum selling artist and three-time Grammy Award nominee Leona Lewis took the world by storm when she won the third season of British TV show The X Factor. She has since sold over 6.5 million albums worldwide.

A longtime vegetarian, Leona is a strong supporter of animal rights. It was rumored that she was going to pose nude to endorse PETA's "I'd rather be naked than wear fur" campaign, but the ad ever materialized.

Highlights

  • In 2008, Leona Lewis, along with Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, was named the sexiest vegetarian celebrity alive by PETA.
  • Leona's first single broke a world record when it was downloaded 50,000 times in 30 minutes and subsequently outsold the rest of the U.K. Top 40 singles combined.
