To a meat-craving carnivore, the gentle tones of Leona Lewis?s Bleeding Love may be the most ironically bittersweet anthem ever.
Unless you like steaks cooked so rare that the blood doubles as a refreshing beverage, then you wouldn't want it served up alongside a plate stack with chicken wings, sausage and horse legs.
Sadly, Bleeding Love isn't about draining animal blood or that regular occurrence that lady folk go through every month. Actually, we don't even know what it means, but blood and animal deaths is something Leona Lewis feels strongly about. Thankfully she isn't jumping on the random celebrity cookbook bandwagon like Sophie Dahl. Instead, she's getting the hump with her tour staff for indulging in that age-old tradition of munching meat for survival. Let's hope she doesn't get angry ? she might sing at them.
It looks like some sort of inner demon wants to break out of Leona Lewis and show the world that she does experience emotion. In all of the years she’s been around, she hasn't once done anything that can be regarded as fun, reckless, hilarious or interesting. Singing in a bog-standard monotone voice is all she seems to be able to do. Rocking.
Ironically, the most interesting thing to happen to Leona Lewis was her big fight night. OK, maybe that's overhyped slightly, as it was more a horrible confrontation with a crazy fan. The moral of that tale? Play the ‘mental’ card and you can belt a famous person and pretty much get away with it.
As a pesky vegan who likes to enforce her annoying viewpoint on the world and those around her, Leona Lewis has decided to remove any fun her crew have on tour. A normal tour would be full of drugs, booze and dogs dressed in aprons, but not on Leona?s tour. After the encore, it'll be lights out and straight to bed. We imagine that a greasy late-night kebab or trip to McDonalds would get the crew through the day. Now this simple pleasure has been removed as well, due to the crazed vegan inflicting rules that would see law breakers being beaten with bamboo shoots. MTV.co.uk reports:
?It has now apparently got to the stage where tour staff are not even permitted to bring food in from the outside to eat because she feels so strongly about the issue.?
And a staff insider who probably doesn't want to be named for fear of being laughed at for working at a Leona Lewis gig said:
?There are going to be murders. Leona has demanded that only veggie food be made available for everyone. She is getting a reputation as a bit of a pain in the arse.?
Remember kids, meat is murder. But Leona Lewis is made out of meat too. Would butchering her be such a good thing? It could be done in a comedic way. You know, like in the recent Irn-Bru advert?

Gilbert Wham says
Or, rise up and kill the fuckers. I keep trying to explain this to people at work, but they just look at me funny. Mind you, some of them purport to like Leona Lewis too.
dug says
Matthew Laidlow needs to stop being the school bully, he must have been one of those people with a grudge against nice people.
I take it the food comes out of leona’s income so you need to keep your sarcastic mouth to yourself, O sorry you probably do.
Nita says
Leona is the best singer in the world! She is both BEAUTIFUL
AND TALENTED!.
Whether or not you eat meat or not should be a persons right to choose.
You just can’t impose your will on everyone the way she does.
I don’t have a clue why she is doing this! BUT … Leona’s fans,
and I am one of them, STILL LOVE LEONA. lEONA YOU ARE BORN TO SING AND YOU ARE GORGEOUS! Your nose goes perfect with your lips, eyes and the bone structure of your face!
Please keep singing and performing! Don’t Be Scared! We all love you!
Rico says
Hi Nita
She’s doing it because animals feel pain the same way you do. They want to have lives like you do.
They’re not things, like a table or rocks.
We have no need to eat animals – according to the American Dietetic Association – so why do it?
To those people who say, ‘But i *like* the taste of meat!’ think about what you’re eating. It’s the flesh of a once living creature like you. This applies to milk and eggs too.
Are we really willing to take lives just to get the taste we want?
Dareen says
I agree she has a monkey nose, so big
Rob says
Matthew, I’ve had enough of your ‘annoying viewpoint on the world’ – ever think that some people do actually want to make the world a better place and not just fill it up with ‘drugs, booze and dogs dressed in aprons’? I feel sorry that you have such a limited idea of what fun is. See, I’m making my own fun now – at your expense! Ha Ha.
Rachel says
I’d get annoyed too. Honestly you can’t force your beliefs on someone else. Just because YOU are a vegetarian doesn’t mean EVERYONE wants to be one. She’s being a tyrant. Also how are you going to be a vegetarian but eat fish, arn’t they living animals too. Hypocrites.
Hi says
Mathew Laidlow is on the rag. Leona is the most talented singer today. It’s her tour, I’d respect her rights. If you don’t like working with her, gtfo then. I love what she’s doing.
Dan says
Leonas one of the best looking women on the planet lol
and the best singer out there today
and its her goddam tour and obviously she feels strongly about it so repsect her views, eat veg n shut the hell up !!!
dan says
she is one of the most beautiful women in the world today, how dare u criticize someone for having a big nose, she has a nose which suits her face superbly and if u wanna know in the fashion world she wud be highly thought of as she can pull off many different looks. she is beautiful. and this is the reason why celebs get nose jobs, face lifts etc..then u criticise them, this dude who wrote this is clearly jealous that leona is massive and he aint…..he writes a story about a woman who is a vegan to demand vegan food as she buys it for HER staff…nothin wrong with that …every single vegan wud agree.
i am a meat eater…howveer if someone who paid my way sed u can only eat veggie while u work with me – wats up wiv that?
leona is talented, grounded and beautiful thats why she is a star
W. says
Leona is a GODESS! I would work for her for free and eat tree bark and be happy. She loves animals, is principled and not afraid to take a stand for her good belief. Sir Paul is doing this on his tour also, so she is in good company. Her tour staff should cherish the time they get to work with Leona Lewis. They can dash off for a quick burger and eat it THERE! No big deal. Besides what I heard of the menu, Leonas’ food sounds pretty darn good! I would love to be her bodyguard and protect her from danger and if anyone tried to insult her like the author of this crap article has, I would definetly teach them some manners.
Dmitry says
Alternatively, one could butcher Matthew Laidlow, but I don’t think he’ll be tasty cos he’s obviously got crap for brains. Moreover, I don’t think he likes raw meat only, instead preferring a roast with obligatory chips (i.e. veges), or would eat a dog or a cat (due to strange sentimental reasons), so he ain’t a true carnivore.
mark says
i love leona she is amazing. my sons girlfriend is a veggie and we respect that and when she stays with us we all eat a veggie meal its not that hard to enjoy. infact i find my wife cooking more veggie meals now and we love them. this is not a insult to leona but to the great chef who is preparing there meals. also mathew if you are going to insult someone then why dont you have a long hard look at your self in the mirror and you will probally think omg who is that pratt
SM says
Leona Lewis is one of the Greatest arists we have had in years and has great principles and morals Is a very beautiful girl and her Tour had been truly amazing
It is noteable that for someone as obscure as Mathew to turn his pathetic attention on her then She must truly be high on the A listers !
Recon I suspect an element of Jealousy from someone who will NEVER amount to a fraction of What Leona already is
If her staff do not like food provided for them I guess they have a brain and legs and are able to either quit or go buy food for themeselves but lets face it you can hardly ever believe the Crap People print in mags and papers anyway !
Springheeled Jack says
Mathew i’m sure Leona Lewis isnt too bothered what a lowlife insignificant piece of shit like you thinks!
a says
She care about animal suffering and you don;t get over it!
She’s gorgeous, gorgeous doesn’t come in one pattern, her long nose suits her perfectly. You’re picking on her like a frustrated school bully.
She’d be a fraud to allow meat to be eaten while she’s on tour. Vegetarianism is a strong belief that animal suffering is unfair, it’d be crazy to close an eye on it when it’s so easy for people to refrain from eating meat when they’re near her. She didn’t forbid them to have meat for life as far as I know.
Bullies will be bullies.
I’d like to see what your face looks like
I’d like to know which big principal you act out and actually stand for…
tara says
LEONA, YOU ARE AMAZING! F**K THE HATERS THEY ARE JUST JELOUS OF YOU, I AM ONE OF YOUR FANS AND I WONT HAVE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT YOU LIKE THAT! SO WHOEVER IT IS GROW THE F**K UP YOU JELOUS RATS! I LOVE YOU LEONA!!<3
Daniela says
This Laidlow individual is an embarrassment to the human society (and to his family). To try to make fun of a wonderful human as Leona is not only insulting but worthy of a punishment. Laidlow must have been physically/sexually/mentally abused as a child in order to become a mean, brainless and cruel monster. It really made me sick to read his imbecile comments. Leona is one of the few artists that has the wits, beauty and courage to be herself and to stand up against the imbecile status quo that the majority of homo sapiens endorsing. She is promoting compassion, justice, and logic. As a matter of fact, she should promote veganism even more, especially during her concerts and she should show Earthlings and Gary Yourofsky videos to enlightened the general public about the monstrosities the human kind is imposing on non-humans. Further, some of the ppl’s comments really push my buttons — for example who is the tyrant here? Somebody who wants compassion and justice or those who tyrannize 70 billion of animals per year with no remorse? The animal agriculture beside being the worst cruel nightmare and shame of humanity is the number 1 destruction of the environment. Wake up and you Laidlow get a life and education!
