Kings of Leon has blasted the rumor suggesting that the band will collaborate with the "Bleeding Love" star, tweeting that they 'are not writing or recording with Leona Lewis.'
Chart-topping rockers Kings of Leon have dismissed reports they're lining up an odd collaboration with British pop star Leona Lewis. Recent British tabloid reports suggested the band had persuaded the Bleeding Love singer to join them in the studio - because they're "huge fans".
The story took off and became a big gossip item overnight, prompting Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill to log onto his Twitter.com to deny the claims. Followill, who is enjoying a break after a long tour with the band, writes, "Contrary to reports out there Kings Of Leon are not writing or recording with Leona Lewis. No offense to her."
Although Kings of Leon have denied the rumor, Robbie Williams who is also reported to collaborate with Leona Lewis hasn't given any conformation about the claim. A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "She loves Robbie and thinks he's a real laugh - and the love-in is mutual. They're just going to go in the studio and see what comes out."

Justin Bieber May Visit 'Wizards of Waverly Place'
Friends with its leading actress, Selena Gomez, Justin won't shut down the possibility of him guest starring in the series someday.Video: Justin Bieber May Visit 'Wizards of Waverly Place', click here..
Selena Gomez may get a visit from fellow tween star on "Wizards of Waverly Place". Justin Bieber said in an interview with Pop Star that a cameo in the Disney Channel series "might happen". He, however, quickly added that nothing is on the card and that he did not know "what's going on there".
The rumors that the singing sensation would appear on the show sparked after he rang the New Year's Eve with Selena on TV special "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve". Selena got up on the stage when Justin was performing "One Less Lonely Girl" and they shared a couple of hugs. Justin also confirmed that he is a good friend of Selena and BFF Demi Lovato.
Should Justin indeed go to "Waverly Place", this would not be his first foray into the TV world. He had once appeared as himself on Nickelodeon's "True Jackson, VP". Keke Palmer's True was asking a favor from Justin after her charity event's performer backed out.
