LEWIS' FAMILY SHAME AFTER COUSIN'S IMPRISONMENT
The family of British singer LEONA LEWIS has been dealt a devastating blow, after her cousin was jailed for robbery.

The Bleeding Love hitmaker is preparing to release her second album after the phenomenal success of her debut, Spirit, which topped charts in the U.K. and the U.S.
But despite her success, the singer hasn't been able to hide her relatives' criminal dealings - her cousin Adrian Henry has been sentenced to six years in prison for a vicious attack on a family in April (09).
He was sent to prison after pleading guilty to robbery at London's Blackfriars Crown Court earlier this month (Sep09).
Henry was previously convicted of raping an Austrian tourist and leaving her to drown in a canal as part of a sickening gang attack when he was just 14.
Lewis has been open about her family's bad side - recently telling reporters she has turned her back on them.
She revealed, "There are bad people in my family, but we didn't really mix with them. Bad things have happened and I guess if you grow up like that it's not so hard to make the wrong choices.
"But I never thought like that. I saw the pain that someone else's badness caused for other people. You have to think and make your own mind up."
