Leona Lewis has rubbished claims she sparked the argument between Chris Brown and Rihanna

Leona Lewis has rubbished claims she sparked a row between Chris Brown and his girlfriend Rihanna, which resulted in him allegedly assaulting the Umbrella singer.

Star magazine reports Rihanna was angered when she apparently saw Leona and the RnB hunk sharing a joke at the pre-Grammy Awards party in LA.

'Rihanna saw Chris with his hand on the small of Leona's back,' a source says. 'It may have been innocent, but that set Rihanna off.'

But a spokeswoman for Leona, 23, has set the record straight, saying: 'This has nothing to do with her'.

Chris, 19, allegedly assaulted Rihanna hours before the Grammy Awards on Sunday, reportedly leaving her with ‘horrific injuries'.

Meanwhile, US website TMZ claims Rihanna, 20, and Chris were arguing over a text he received from another woman.

PETA perfect Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis has been named Person of the Year by PETA.

The animal rights organisation - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - has recognised the vegetarian singer's commitment to animal welfare after she reportedly refused to open department store Harrods' winter sale because the shop sells fur.

PETA's Europe Director 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."


Earlier this year, the campaign group crowned the 'Run' singer - who is working on an accessories line of vegan shoes and bags - Sexiest Vegetarian.

Lat year's Person of the Year was Sir Paul McCartney's fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney.

Leona, who hasn't eaten meat since she was 12, has previously said: "I am totally against animal cruelty. I am vegetarian so I don't have clothes, shoes, or bags made from leather or suede or any animal products. I'm on a mission."

Leona Lewis has the fastest selling single digital release

The new single from Leona Lewis has become the fastest-selling digital release, according to the singer's representative.

Some 69,244 people downloaded the cover of Snow Patrol's Run in the first two days since it became available.

The success of the track has eclipsed the previous record of 51,857 downloads sold in a week, set by 'American Boy' by Estelle and Kanye West – itself beating a previous Leona Lewis record for her single, A Moment Like This.

The singer, from London, sang the song on BBC Radio 1 and recently performed it on The X Factor.

The track is already heading to the top of the single sale charts, outselling its nearest rival – Take That's Greatest Day – by three to one.

William Hill has her at 10-1 to become Christmas Number One but the favourite for that honour remains whoever wins X Factor winner singing a version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

Lewis' label Sony BMG initially refused to release 'Run' as a single, instead making it available on a reissue of her 2007 debut album, 'Spirit'.

The song had been introduced by presenter Dermot O'Leary as "her next single" when she performed it on X Factor and fans lobbied the company to change its mind.

A source at the record company said managers were "stunned by the reaction" of the public. "They've seen sense and bowed to pressure," the source said.
