Leona Lewis joins the A list at charity gala

Showing just how far she's come since her first audition on the X Factor, Bleeding Love singer Leona Lewis was rubbing shoulders with the cream of US talent in LA this week.
The 25-year-old was joined at the annual event by fellow songbird Alicia Keys and Hollywood screen star Jamie Foxx as she helped raise money to support families affected by domestic violence.
Also on show-stealing form was former Bond girl and mum-of-one Halle Berry - stunning in a grey cut-away dress.
Big-hearted Leona has been devoting herself to fundraising of late. She's currently lending her support to the plight of The Horse Refuge, too.

Leona Lewis flashes the cash for 24th birthday at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas

Leona Lewis has fallen for the wicked charms of Sin City - but not quite enough for her to sully her goody-two-shoes image.

The Spirit singer headed to Las Vegas with a possee of gal pals, determined to make her 24th birthday one to remember.

But although she told her eight pals the drinks were on her - and they racked up an impressive bar bill - she only made do with a couple of glasses of bubbly.

It seems Leona, who last week wore a black outfit and Lady GaGa eyepatch, is reluctant to let her hair down. Party veteran Mel B introduced the X Factor winner to the delights of Vegas and the roulette wheels of Caesar's Palace after they saw Matt Goss in concert a few weeks ago.

So she decided it was the perfect place to hold her birthday party.

She jetted eight pals to Vegas and checked them into £500-a-night suites. After a quick change they were straight out clubbing. Leona told the girls to order whatever they wanted. And they did, racking up a champagne and shots bar bill which looked like one of the X Factor voting lines.
