Leona slapped at book signing

Looks like there are still some bitter Ray fans about :joker:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8307616.stm

ah the price of fame.....poor woman she might have to buy a new face...

Awww!!! How can someone hit leona!!!!!!!!!?

I was going to go to that today! :O

I swear it wasn't me!

"The female did not require hospital treatment" That cracked me up so bad.

It was a man aswell. It took 3 security guards to get him off her :(

Good, I hate her..

Met her shes a stuck up big headed Cow.

Im annoyed at the artical thought they spend most the Artical giving us a ****ing Biography about her instead of actually talking about what went on..

Example:

Lewis, who won the TV talent contest in 2006, was signing copies of her new autobiography, Dreams which is due to be released next month.

The singer also has her second album, Echo, is also scheduled for release in November too.

The three-time Grammy Award nominee, released her debut single A Moment Like This, shortly after winning the ITV1 show.

She is due to play a gig in her native Hackney in east London on 2 November.

Maybe she'll have a new one now....:joker::joker::joker::joker:

Was the book that bad?
:tongue:

Turns out she was actually punched in the face. I don't see how being attacked is funny to some people, but what ever. Says more about them then it does her.

Oh c'mon. She'll live. It's not like she was seriously assaulted. Would we care if it was a non-celebrity? No. We'd wonder why it was even in the news.

Anyways,poor Leona :(

Aww how could someone do that to her:(

Leona Lewis 'punched' at signing

Quote:

Police have arrested a man over an alleged assault on the 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis at a book signing.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said police were called to Waterstones book store at Piccadilly, London, but Lewis did not need hospital treatment.

Lewis's spokesman said the singer had been signing autographs for around 90 minutes when "a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head".

The spokesman added that Lewis was "understandably badly shaken".

In a statement, Waterstones said: "There was an incident at our Leona Lewis signing this afternoon and the event was immediately stopped.

"We are now doing everything we can to support the police in their enquiries."

Lewis had been signing copies of her new autobiography, Dreams, which is due to be released next month.

One fan at the scene told the BBC: "My brother saw the whole incident. He [the attacker] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her.

"He [my brother] actually heard the impact."

Another eyewitness added: "She was running out with her hand over her eye and I just saw a man on the floor.

"Suddenly the security all jumped on him and they were trying to pull him out and he was just laughing, he thought it was funny."

Lewis's spokesman added: "The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought.

"Leona's understandably badly shaken and apologises to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings for."

'Professionalism'

Waterstones said it took security at book signings "extremely seriously" and this was the first incident of its kind it had encountered.

"We would like to thank Leona for her professionalism and we are extremely sad that this event was ruined for her, and her fans, many of whom queued from the early hours of the morning to meet her," it added.

Lewis had been scheduled to appear on the BBC's The One Show on Wednesday night, however a spokesperson confirmed she had pulled out.

BBC sports presenter Gabby Logan was brought in to replace her.

Lewis's second album, Echo, is scheduled for release in November.

The three-time Grammy Award nominee, released her debut single A Moment Like This, shortly after winning the ITV1 show.

She is due to play a gig in her native Hackney in east London on 2 November.

Yeah, thats not funny in the least bit. Just absolutely vile. What a sad man he must be. Ah well, good luck in the slammer.

Singer Leona Lewis was punched in the head as she signed books for fans, her spokesman has said.

The 24-year-old former X Factor winner had been meeting members of the public at Waterstone's Piccadilly in London for around an hour-and-a half on Wednesday afternoon when a man who had been waiting in the queue suddenly lashed out, he said.

Lewis was bruised, upset and shaken after the incident and was checked over by a doctor.

The singer's spokesman, who witnessed the attack, said: "She was doing a signing to launch her new book. Hundreds of fans had been queuing since last night."

He said she had been happily signing autographs for around an 90 minutes when "a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head".

He did not hear the man say anything to Lewis during the "unprovoked" incident and security officers swooped.

Lewis sustained bruising to the side of the head and was left "shaken", he said, adding that she had gone to see the doctor. "She is absolutely gutted she did not get the signings finished," he said.

The spokesman said that to hit a woman was "beyond cowardly".

The former X Factor winner was signing copies of her autobiography, Dreams.

Police said officers were called to Waterstone's and a man has been arrested "following reports of an assault against a female".

What kind of sicko just punches someone for no reason and then laughs.I'm serious, what a psycho!

I agree. She's probably the most boring celebrity I can think of.
