Leona ... scoops gig on A-list chatshow
 

X Factor babe cracks the U.S.


X FACTOR fave Leona Lewis has made a big breakthrough in the US after landing a gig on a major chatshow.

Her mentor Simon Cowell boasted on Saturday’s ITV1 show that she would be a big star across the pond — but we can reveal she has already made it.

The stunning singer, 21, has been invited onto The Ellen DeGeneres Show — the US equivalent of The Paul O’Grady Show.

Lesbian comic Ellen’s daytime programme frequently attracts A-list guests including Tom Cruise, Bill Clinton and Justin Timberlake.

An insider said: “It’s a massive boost for Leona because Ellen’s show is huge in America and you have to be pretty special to get on.

“They have been checking her out each week on the show because there’s been a real buzz around her out there. They made contact and invited her to come and be a guest.”

Yay well done Leona :dance2:

Woooo Leona!!! :banana:

IS she the favourite to win ? :conf2:

Simon did mention she was being talked about in the US.
And I bet he helped promote her and everything.

Woo, this is great news! :cheer:

Yes

Woo Leona 2 win!!it be good hearing her sing something a bit more up tempo tonight.

Sounds like Leonna will be a star whatever position she comes....I just hope that she doesn't become big then move to the states because that is how it sounds to me.

You'd almost think she has already won...
