Generally boring songstress Leona Lewis has started what could turn in to a war of words with stick-thin mess Amy Winehouse. The Bleeding Love singer said that although she admired Amy?s singing talents she did not want to end up like her.

She claims she will avoid the pitfalls of fame and fortune (must suck when you?re a squillionaire?) by having the support of a strong family to keep her feet on the ground.

Leona, 23, said: “Amy is so talented. But a performer?s privacy is taken away. The media are always there.

“You can?t make your mistakes in private. I have the advantage of a great support structure.

“I get honest opinions from family and friends. They aren?t always telling me what I want to hear, but the truth helps keep my head straight.”

The singer was also proud to be likened to legendary diva?s Whitney Houston, 44 and Mariah Carey, 38.

Leona in her interview with a US magazine added: “It’s exceedingly gratifying because they?re so great.”

R&B singer Mariah Carey has got upset about reports circulating that suggest her newly slender figure is the result of plastic surgery. The diva insists that her weight loss is down to a good diet and plenty of exercise.

She revealed the new look earlier this year as she released her eleventh studio album, E=MC2, which sparked the speculation that she?d gone under a surgeon?s knife to shed a massive 32 pounds.

Mariah, 38, is adamant that it was an all natural method of weight loss that helped her lose the unwanted poundage.

When questioned regarding her spectacular weight loss she said,

“I know the UK is freaking out that I had some crazy plastic surgery done, but… honestly, it’s working out and diet. Look at what I’m eating right now: olives!

“It makes me upset that people think I’ve had surgery, ’cause let’s discuss how annoying the dieting process was. My girls will eat really good fried food, and I also love sweet plantain and rice and peas, but I can’t eat it! If I eat it, it’s small!”

Were not so sure we believe you Mariah?
