Poor thing.
She suffers from insomnia. Who doesn’t?
“I have a phobia of the dark,” Leona Lewis says in the new issue of Joe Levy’s Blender.
To fall asleep, she needs a TV on, and some dim lighting.
If she’s on the road, she’ll go to her manager’s room and crawl into bed with her.
“Leona doesn’t snore,” Nicola Carson says. “But she hogs the bed.”

Who knew?
Alicia Keys kinda had a breakdown according to the new issue of Blender — the first under EIC Joe Levy.
Her mom Terri Augello reveals when she knew her daughter was in trouble.
In the May issue of Blender, Alicia Keys addresses those lesbian rumors.
“It doesn’t bother me, because I’m straight,” Keys says.
“Every great, strong woman has been called gay.”
Newly appointed Blender editor Joe Levy is poaching talent from Jann Wenner’s Rolling Stone.
According to Page Six, Levy tapped Rolling Stone’s Rob Sheffield to write a monthly column for Blender starting in June.
WTF? No Craig Marks or Joe Levy?
Who needs an Editor-in-Chief anyway???
Just ask Blender, the magazine that went without one for an entire issue. Check out the April masthead!
Blender’s rep tells Mediabistro that it was during a time of the transition of the editors-in-chief and the production cycle of the magazine. EIC Craig Marks is being replaced by former Rolling Stone vet Joe Levy.
Rolling Stone and Blender both feature the complete demise of Britney. It’s one thing for Brit’s life troubles to be on the cover of the weekly celebrity tabloids, but when two music mags make her a tragic figure, that has to hurt even more.
At the end of the day, I smell a comeback. I know I sound optimistic, but her parents are stepping in and hopefully not leaving! I’m rooting for her - and I hope everyone else is too!
P.S. Check out the shocking Rolling Stone cover story (Rolling Stone) and Blender’s cover story (Blender).
It’s been another tough week for Britney. She had a rocky reunion with her mom and she made yet another trip to the psychiatric ward, according to recent reports. Both of these events would support your choice for her as either a main cover topic or an inset.
Ok, editors, I’m throwing down the gauntlet. I challenge you NOT to put Britney on your covers next week. That’s it - a TOTAL BRITNEY BLACKOUT! Can you do it?
I argue that this woman is clearly suffering from some type of mental illness — as has been reported by People and alluded to on the new Blender.
If she had any other type of disease, you and the paparazzi would have much more sympathy for her and would provide her with privacy.
For one second, put yourself in her flip flops. She’s lost her kids, she’s lost her career, she’s lost her body. What’s next - her life? (Stop dreaming about rocket sales - this would be a horrific tragedy!)
Call me an optimist - but I believe giving this girl a break for one week could make a big difference.

According to NY Post’s Page Six, Britney Spears will be on the cover of the March issue of Blender. Which Britney will it be (i.e. a bald, wigged, thin, plump)? Your guess is as good as ours. It will be interesting to see just how they photograph her. No matter, it is sure to be a best seller. For the complete story, click here pagesix.com.
