It was shot in May right? Lordyyy!

[MarkWaldorf]

I was just watching 90210 and BIT played at the end!

[Callum]

I can't wait to see the new video, the song will grow on me again when I see it. I know Mark! That's probabably why it's rising in popularity over in the US (not that it's not a good song or anything) it did the same for The Tings Tings, and Flo Rida last week.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah! It's #12 on US iTunes right now.

[andybigbro]

Ooooh Cant wait to see the video of Forgive Me!

if features a brand new song but it doesnt feature "Run" which is strange because a montha go it was confirmed to be on the re-release.

I think if they released Run on iTunes etc.. then I think that it would chart very highly on downloads alone. So maybe they don't want to add a song which could effectively spark more interest than the actual next single. Then again, adding it could be a reason for more people to buy the re-release...

I heard on my local radio this morning that the Script want to team up with her to do a cover of "Fairytale of New York" for christmas number one. That would be amazing but I doubt it though.

[KKBL]

^ i know.i cant wait to see how she performes it live..maybe with dancers.

BTW if ayone's looking for a website for all the latest Leona news/performances & pics go here

if it did happen and they releases it for the Xmas #1.i think they could beat the XF single just because it would be soo controversial and i can imagine that there would be a campaign to get this to #1 just so the XF single doesnt.

EDIT: if it was for charity aswell then IMO it would definetly go to #1

Katy Perry has admitted that she is “obsessed” with Leona Lewis.

Katy told BBC Radio 1 that she met Lewis backstage at the recent MTV Video Music Awards.

She said: “I met Leona Lewis, who I’m obsessed with, and I passed by the Jonas Brothers - they kept me 10ft away, though!”

Leona suffered a bout of nerves at a MTV Video Music Award afterparty on Sunday - because she could see Christina Aguilera sitting in the front row.

Leona was able to keep her nerves under control as she stepped onstage at the VMA ceremony in front of millions of viewers. But the star-struck 23-year-old panicked at a post-VMA bash later in the evening when she was told Aguilera would be watching her up-close.

She says, “I was more nervous at the aftershow party. I was performing and the place was full of celebrities.
“Just before I was due to go on the organizer came over and said, ‘Christina Aguilera has asked to sit in the front row as she wants to see you and there is Paris, Mischa Barton…’ I must have looked like I was panicking as my assistant pulled me away!”

Lil Wayne is hoping to capitalize on his successful duet with Leona at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards by recording a duet with her.

The Louisiana MC was so impressed with Leona, he reportedly wants to collaborate with her in the studio.

A source tells Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “He thinks she’s got it and, seeings as they are both multi-platinum selling artists, working together makes sense. They are looking for time to go in the studio.”

[MarkWaldorf]

She looks so beautiful!

[Callum]

By the way is Forgive Me still being released to the UK iTunes store today?

[KKBL]

^love that picture.actualy i think its Monday.

[Callum]

Aw! Only a day's wait though. I bet a lot of GA fans will be annoyed if Leona prevents them from getting number one.
