Leona Lewis Had Hots for Justin Timberlake

After being punched on the face, Leona Lewis is now talking about the lighter side of things. And in fact, she mentions that she had a big crush on Justin Timberlake before he met him. Sadly, Leona's hots for Justin faded away Leona when they worked together on a new song 'Don't Let Me Down', which is featured on her upcoming album 'Echo'.

According to Leona herself, "I had a big thing for Justin before I worked with him, but I lose my crush when I meet people. Which is probably good news for my boyfriend Lou!" Yes, Leona is currently in a serious relationship with fiancé Lou Al-Chamaa. Because of the stern commitment to her boyfriend, the 24 year old British singer even turned down her chance to kiss Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford! Leona mentioned in Sugar magazine that: "They wanted me and Chace to kiss in the 'I Will Be' video. But I said no way. I'd just have been too embarrassed, he's my friend! He's so beautiful, I mean, look at him - he could be a girl. He'd be a really pretty girl. But I just don't think of him like that. And it wouldn't be fair to Lou to kiss other guys."

Peter Kowalczyk - The X-Factor Reject Who Punched Leona Lewis

After the shocked and tearful Leona Lewis endured being punched in the face during her book signing in a London bookstore last October 14, the identity of the person who did it was revealed to be Peter Kowalczyk. He is 26 years old and he auditioned but was rejected in hugely popular UK TV talent show The X Factor, which Leona won in 2006.

Peter's father, Tomasz, told reporters that he has already been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is now at a psychiatric hospital. Leona Lewis, on the other hand, issued a statement that she is devastated and upset about the incident. To cope with the trauma, Leona is now accompanied by boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa and her father Joe at her London home. According to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, Leona said that: "I can't get his grinning face out of my head. Why did he do this to me? What did I do?"

 

With that, the 24-year-old British singer has no choice but to increase her security to ensure nothing like this happens again. Peter Kowalczyk has had history of mental health problems and is now undergoing music therapy to combat his psychological problems. Photo from Mirror.co.uk.
