Vegetarian Star

Leona Lewis has a favorite vegetarian hotspot when in the Soho area of London.

It’s Mildred’s Vegetarian Restaurant featuring appetizers, sides, main courses, wine menus and more.

She’s even got a favorite entree.

‘It’s small and relaxed and has a great little private dining room my friends and I sometimes hire. Try the pan-fried halloumi with spinach and cherry tomatoes,” Lewis said.

Leona Lewis has finally made the transition to a completely vegan diet. It’s been about a month now and almost all is going well.

The only problem? She needs recipes!

In a recent Tweet, the Bleeding Love singer said, “I’ve been vegan for a few days now, I’m trying it for the whole month. Any recipes you can recommend?”

“It can be disheartening because I’ll be asked to do campaigns a lot. I’m so passionate that I’ll put everything into it. You see other campaigns where celebrities jump on board but animal rights issues is something where people feel they can’t really tread. It’s not even about being a vegetarian. It’s about having a bit of empathy for what these animals are going through. I do think celebrities could do more.”

Leona Lewis is asking officials of the UN’s 2012 Earth Summitt to put protection for farmed animals on the agenda for the event in Rio in June.

The singer is asking fans to sign a petition created by the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) that will place animal welfare among priority issues such as food crisis and climate change.

“I am supporting WSPA, so please support me by going to the site below and joining thousands of others worldwide who are demanding that farm animals are on the agenda at the UN 2012 Earth Summit in Rio. By adding your name, you could help animals have a better future,” Lewis said.

Leona Lewis visited the Cleveland Armory Black Beauty Ranch to get close with a few of her favorite animal friends that included horses, primates and other animals.

Lewis recorded a PSA for the ranch, which sits on 1,300 acres and is home to over 1,200 wild and domestic animals that have been rescued from various situations such as circuses, roadside zoos and slaughterhouses.

“I have my own horse,” Lewis says in the video. “He’s so beautiful and gentle and gives me so much love back. To think that someone would hurt them is heartbreaking.”

Lewis’ PSA for the Cleveland Black Beauty Ranch can be viewed below.

Leona Lewis has written a letter to her MP asking to support a ban on wild animals in Britain’s circuses.

“I am shocked and outraged that there needs to be a debate about whether it is okay for wild animals to perform tricks in the big top,” Lewis wrote in the letter. “I add my voice to this campaign and to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, who is lending its support to an alliance of animal welfare groups campaigning for an end to this.”

Several celebrities have inked themselves in temporary color to support a campaign of the Humane Society International to end the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in the UK by 2013.

“It’s upsetting to think that right now thousands of animals are enduring painful tests for cosmetics that could end up being sold on EU shop shelves,” said Leona Lewis. “So I’m sending a plea to EU politicians to have a heart for animals by keeping their promise to ban the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in 2013. If companies can’t sell their products, they’ll stop animal testing, and we’ll be one stop closer to the whole world being cruelty-free.”
