The article about Leona’s advisers wanting her to shed a few pounds was only just published this morning, but already her people have released a statement saying it isn’t true:

“This morning a tabloid newspaper published a story claiming that Leona is working with Mariah Carey’s personal trainer Patricia Gay. There is no truth to this story. The story also claims that this was suggested by ‘her advisers’ and that Leona would visit Patricia’s base in the Caribbean for intensive sessions. This is entirely fabricated. Leona currently does work with a personal trainer who helps her to stay healthy and find time for exercise amidst her demanding international promotional schedule. The decision to work with a personal trainer is entirely Leona’s.”

Great to hear!
