LEONA LEWIS' SUCCESS SET IN WAX

Leona Lewis' fame is set in wax - a model of the singer will be unveiled at London's Madame Tussauds later this year (09).

The 24 year old has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom since winning British talent contest The X Factor in 2006, going on to land a number one album.Now bosses at the British capital's famed Madame Tussauds waxwork museum have decided the star is deserving of her own figure among a host of other superstar doppelgangers.The waxwork, which costs $225,000 to sculpt, will go on display by the end of 2009.And Leona Lewis is ecstatic to be immortalised in wax - because it's been her ambition since she visited the museum as a child.She says, It has been a lifelong dream since I visited as a child. I can't wait to meet my wax double.
