More Reason To Love Leona

PETA has just named Leona Lewis their Person of the Year. The talented singer gave up meat when she was just 12 years-old!
She is also an active anti-animal cruelty campaigner and refuses to wear fur and leather.
So, taking the spot from Stella McCartney last year, Leona is 2008's person of the year and we think it's well deserved.
The Europe Director for PETA, Robbie LeBlanc, said "Leona Lewis is admired for her beautiful voice, but it's her kindness to animals that makes her a superstar in our book."
And not even money will change her.
Just earlier this year, she turned down $1.5 million from luxury London retailer Harrods to open its summer sale. Harrods remains the only U.K. department store to still stock fur.
Congrats to Leona!

Good for her! I love my dog too, but I'm not a fanatic….
Nice Spanks! Check the mirror before you leave the house people
I used to like her but the radio killed her songs by overplaying them too much.
Well, I gave up meat when I was 8 years old, I'm 25 now. Big whoop. Alot of people do their own thing to help animals but yet celebs get all the gratitude. Tisk tisk.
Who gives a crap I mean really.. You should give up meat Mario.. Im sure Daddy is so proud of you
What happened to my comment? This site sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at deceiver.com to see Leona as she really is!
Good for Harrods, fuck Peta and the retard Petta people.
Alot of celebrities don't do fur, what's the big deal? Sounds like her management got hold of peta looking for positive p.r.
I like a good steak once in a while
well i'm not trying to be mean but I guess there are other ways besides meat to be curvy!
Re: Assume the Position! – good eye…….you make nice with kittykat yet?
we were given teeth how about we all use them!!
Re: Assume the Position! – OMG! I just noticed them! How embarrasing…
I can see her Spanxx.
Big deal, I gave up eating meat when I was 7, and became vegan when i was 16, whos a lil bit behind now? Leona lol jk, thats cool though, a lot of celebrities are vegetarians, Kelly Clarkson didn't eat meat for this past year
Re: mamajud – I never really took issue with him just about his defense of the muskrat!
'Gratulations Leonza.
I will take a pass…she sucks ass.
Re: poosie – Honey, looks like when you passes anythin', the fire department oughtta be handy, along wid the hazmats.
But nuttin' personal, dat's just Mammy talkin'.
We all know that her singing career will be short lived. Why would she give up $1.5 million??? I can see if they asked her to eat meat or wear fur. She's in no position to turn down that kind of money in these times. Crazy!!!
Re: mamajud –
Hi, mamajud !!!!!!!!!!
PETA is an extremist organization! they're crazy!
i've been a vegetarian for 12 years and i would never wear fur…but they're STILL fucking nuts!
Perez you should stop giving them publicity—they have no respect!
I love her dress in that photo. And good for her!
I love meat!
Re: Assume the Position! – Damn you're good! lol
PETA is such a fucking crazy organazation.
You should really watch the Penn and Teller :Bullshit! on PETA.
that girl can do no wrong!
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMMENT!!
PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMMENT PLEASE!!!!duuuu
WHO THE HELL IS THIS MANLY HORSEFACED, CHUNKY BARBIE-BODIED POON?
grow a fucking back bone people, eating meat is what we are made to do as we ARE the top of the food chain. Its so pathetic, and i hate the people who only care about animals because the are cute! what about the ugly ones? so pathetic!
WOW…..HOW EXCITING! YAWN!
PETA are irrelevant. Just mention the name PETA and most people roll their eyes. People who work to prevent child abuse, spousal abuse or homelessness command far more respect.
She's beautiful, perez!
I wish I could marry her. She's hott, congrats to her.
She's the sexiest vegetarian!!
good for her, its refreshing to see a celeb turning down money for what they believe in.
However, its been scientifically proven that if our ancestors didn't eat meat we would all still be monkeys. We are meant to eat it. duh
Most of the comments here seem to be negative, which is a real shame… congrats to Leona for actually standing up for what she believes in - it's nice to see that stardom hasn't changed her
i read all about her vegetarianism and stance against meat in the Big Issue this week and it made me love her even more too!! she is so sweet and nice in every way.
i gave up meat at 13 so she beat me there!!
She sucks/eats her mans cock…that aint the vegitarian type I KNOW. Fucking meat eating sluts!
PETA are douchebags, and Leona Lewis' music is absolute shit.
is it just me or is there nothing behind her eyes? she seems completely void of personality, and i thought that was partially what the x factor was about. it's like she wouldn't actually know what to say unless someone has already told her. she bores me to death with her vacant, robotic smile.
I am not a fan
and YES the radio stations do play her songs toooo much
wow!!
i love her even more now!
GREAT story.
I can't bear her.
She has the personality of a cardboard box and she totally bastardised ‘Run’ by Snow patrol with that god awful version that totally missed the entire point of the song.
Eat Meat - Fuck Peta!
Tranny alert.
she kinda looks like a horse in all her music videos.
Does PETA mean People Eating Tasty Animals?
She still looks like a horse though.
Maybe that's why she is their person of the year.
GO VEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
leona is looking more and more like a monkey every day
i love leona even more now!
jealous haters get a life
oh man, twelve is so young!
my good friend is a vegetarian.
she began when she was thirteen
There are far better groups than PETA. PETA is constantly in trouble for killing the animals they have rather than finding them homes. They find and average of less than 1% of their animals home while the SPCA finds around 65%. PETA is bullshit.
I like her even more now!
Oh for fucks sake.
I love animals too, but i'm not an extremist. Our bodies were designed to eat meat (not every meal… but at least 2 meals of white meat and one of red per week), and we have relied on animal skins to keep us warm for thousands of years (granted we dont require these anymore so I personally choose not to wear them).
I might also add that they have lied in the past and mislead those in their ranks into thinking practices to help animals were actually harming them.
To simply deny our dependence on animals and pick on those who make different life choices makes groups like PETA repulsive. Everytime I hear that they have singled out a celebrity and trash talked them, I go and buy something nice and meaty when i normally wouldnt have… they cause more harm than they do good.
Finally a SANE ROLE MODEL!!
Leona is fabulous……whoever thinks she should have taken the money shows what low life scum you all are. She's got a heart and is ethical hope you all end up broke and lose your homes cos you deserve it mwah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
