Leona Lewis Attacked in London

ZOMG. "Bleeding Love" is an incredible pop song about love and masochism. People who listen to too much pop music are masochists. Leona Lewis and her listeners might be masochists. Which doesn't explain the sadistic freak who attacked her in a London bookstore this evening.

Lewis was singing copies of her book when some guy came up to her, hit her, and left. What would Leona do to someone to cause them to arbitrarily hit her in the face? Not sure. Maybe it was just a crazed fan. Maybe it was someone who wanted to engage her masochism-on-masochism sound. Whoever it was, they now have him—and it was definitely a him—in police custody.

“My brother saw the whole incident,” one fan at the book store told the BBC. “He (the attacker) walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her.”

Of all the singers to get punched in the face, Leona Lewis? It’s kind of shocking. And strange. Here’s hoping Lewis recovers from this fairly traumatic, insane event: a jam from The Crystals via one Mr. Phil Spector, who would end up being incredibly abusive to his several wives while making some of the best pop music in the history of the genre. Spector ended up taking it too far, as he’s now in jail for life. Pop music inspires some insane things. Some truly insane things.
