In L.A., blondes not only have more fun — they have more lookalikes.
Kim Kardashian’s sunkissed locks made the E! reality star a victim of mistaken identity last week.
Kim was puzzled when a fan approached her as she left Dan Tana’s in Los Angeles and asked if she was British songstress Leona Lewis, says a Kardashian Camp snitch.
A spywitness tells Star: “Kim said it was a weird question because they look different. She totally forgot that they have similar hair now!
Simon Cowell is beside himself with fury after Leona Lewis’ new single — which features Justin Timberlake –was leaked to the Internet this week. Police have been called into investigate the breach of computers belonging to Cowell’s record company Syco – part of Sony BMG. The computers were allegedly hacked into and an early version of “Don’t Let Me Down” –the British singer’s collaboration with Timberlake — appeared online.
“Syco are working alongside the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the British Phonographic Industry, the police and investigators in this and they are making fast progress,” a company exec said in a statement Tuesday. “We will certainly look to bring charges against those who are responsible. We cannot give any more details at this stage for operational seasons.”
Leona’s second album – a follow-up to her 2007 international smash Spirit – is expected to include collaborations with Ne-Yo, will.i.am, and Jay-Z and is due for release this November.
Britain’s Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi will reportedly join songbird Leona Lewis on tour next year.
Simon Cowell, who met 12-year-old Shaheen at his first audition and mentored Leona during her 2006 X Factor victory, is plotting a 14-date world tour — featuring a Garden of Eden theme — that will star the preteen sensation and the “Bleeding Love” hitmaker.
Shaheen, a native of Wales, shot to fame earlier this year with his rendition of The Jackson 5′s “Who’s Loving You” on BGT last spring. He later went on to perform the song at the King of Pop’s public memorial service.
A source tells The Mirror: “Simon is convinced Shaheen can be a global superstar.”
More than a decade after its inception, VH1 is revamping its Divas Live concert series with a new crop of upcoming and coming songbirds, the network said in a statement Tuesday. British vocalists Adele and Leona Lewis, former American Idol Kelly Clarkson, and teen star Miley Cyrus will follow in the footsteps of chart queen, like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey, by headlining this year’s show, airing live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York on Thursday, Sept. 17 @ 9/8c.

Award-winning vocalists Usher, Justin Timberlake, and Leona Lewis are in discussions to perform at a Michael Jackson tribute concert taking place at London’s O2 arena later this summer.
“Executives want to stage a touching tribute to Michael and think The O2 would be a fitting location,” a source spilled The Sun.
“Huge stars such as Leona, Usher and Justin have expressed enthusiasm about the project. It will be a celebration of Jacko’s life through his music.”
The insider added, “The producers want to avoid a sombre memorial tone and intend the evening to be a joyful event focusing on Jacko’s extraordinary legacy.”
No word on when the proposed tribute might take place.
