She is also trying to build her contacts there for future record sales. Although the only thing that seems to be taking strain is her top!
As she made her way through Los Angeles airport, Leona's bust threatened to spill over her pink top which was proving just a little too snug.
She teamed the baby doll top with black jeans, boots, a cardigan and her favourite Deux Lux ruffle bag.
She had recently bought a £1.5million luxury villa in the Hollywood Hills, planning to live there permanently.
'But it seems she is missing her home comforts and long term boyfriend, Lou Al-Chamaa, who remains living at their £120,000 two-bedroom flat in Hackney, East London.
]]>
Leona knows Lou was reaching breaking point,' a source is quoted as telling the News Of The World.
'If she wanted to stay with him, she was going to have to move back. He's got a good job in music and wasn't prepared to move to America.
'She loves him very much and decided it was finally time to stop putting her career first.
'She'll still make lots of trips over because she's massively popular there. But she'll stay permanently based in London.'
The former Pizza Hut waitress won the third series of The X Factor in 2006 and was handed a £1million recording contract with Simon Cowell's label.
She then signed a further £5million five-album deal and has since gone on to break several records with the sales of her singles and albums.
Her debut, A Moment Like This, became the fastest-selling UK single ever, shifting 50,000 copies within an hour of its release.

No, she has not succumbed as all of Hollywood does to radical cosmetic surgery, she merely stepped out with a tightly bound ponytail.
The English refer to it as the 'Croydon facelift' - due to its popularity among teenage girls from south London. Kate wore the face-lifting look to a film screening last night of husband Sam Mendes's new film in New York.
The simple updo rolled back the years, giving the mother-of-two a sleek line-free appearance.
Looking svelte in a black body con dress with vintage lace demi-sleeves, the actress made the perfect arm candy to accompany husband Sam in support of his new film project.
And for once, since her huge awards success, the spotlight was not on her.
]]>
The 33-year-old's husband directed the film, which tells the story of a couple who are expecting their first child who travel around the US in order to find a perfect place to raise their family.
Along the way, they have adventures and make new connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who help them discover 'home' on their own terms for the first time.
Meanwhile, Kate revealed that she manages to balance her family life with work commitments by making sure her children are never far away.
She hit back at reports suggesting she spends lengthy periods of time apart from her children when on set.
Kate told Irish film website Movies.ie: 'Who the hell is going to go and leave their children for five months? Obviously not me. I would never leave my children for five months, no matter whether they're five, 15, or 55.
'I'm very lucky to be in the position where I can turn to the producers and say, 'Listen guys, I've never been away from my kids before. How are you going to help me?"'.
Kate is mother to eight-year-old daughter Mia from her previous marriage to Jim Threapleton and five-year-old son Alfie with husband Mendes.
The family currently share their time between New York and Gloucestershire, where Kate has two homes.
On her double Golden Globe and Oscar success earlier this year, she said: 'I don't think [the awards] have necessarily boosted my confidence.
'If I was younger and going through this particular time, it might make a definitive impact. I know who I am now.'

Grammy-winning singer and Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson can add mom-to-be to her resume after a weekend baby shower in her honor was held in downtown Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Felicia Fields, a longtime friend of the Hudson, confirmed to the paper that the event happened on Saturday.
"It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family," Fields, also a singer and actress, said of a gathering in a relative's home. "They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet."
She added: "It was a nice time that we had."

When asked if Hudson received blue or pink gifts, Fields said, "They don't know [the gender]. More yellow."
Another paper, the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Hudson is seven months along.

Hudson, 27, who is engaged to Harvard-educated-lawyer-turned-wrestler David Otunga, has also kept mum about her upcoming wedding date.

What was he thinking?
For some men, the idea of wearing a flower as an accessory would have them running for the hills. But not for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The footballer happily wore the pink bloom behind his ear while relaxing in the Italian sunshine.
It was perhaps intended to complement his pink baseball cap, which he wore backwards on his head.
]]>
His balding companion was seen reaching out to adjust the button on Ronaldo's shirt, and later laying his hand against the footballer's rippling stomach.
The trio then rode off in a golf cart, with Ronaldo taking the wheel, the mystery brunette by his side and his male friend perched on the back.
It is not the first time Ronaldo has made a bizarre wardrobe choice. He has previously been seen in white skinny jeans, Freedy Mercury-style yellow leather jackets and low V-neck tops.
Could someone get him a stylist?

But once a pesky little brother, always a pesky little brother.
Prince Harry couldn't resist spraying a mouthful of champagne over his opponent Nacho Figueras after winning a charity polo match in New York on Saturday. Nice one!
The 24-year-old obviously needed to let off some steam at the end of a whirlwind trip to the Big Apple, his first official overseas visit.
And he probably relished the chance for a last bit of silliness before returning home to the stress of helicopter training. The poor boy seems to be struggling a bit on the academic side.
]]>
Such was the buzz around his trip that celebrities such as Madonna and Kate Hudson flocked to Governor's Island to watch the polo on Saturday, paying up to $50,000 to be in the same room as the prince.
Proceeds from the match between the prince's side and Figueras's Black Watch team are being donated to Sentebale, the charity Harry set up for Aids orphans in Lesotho. (which, last we checked, was suffering from some "bad management financial woes"....)
Madonna looked enthralled by the action as did her adopted son, three-year-old David Banda, who cheered every time Harry rode past and at one point reached up in excitement and almost pulled down his mother's top.]]>

Just one day after her show-stopping finale performance--and her startling upset--in Britain's Got Talent, the YouTube songbird has reportedly been admitted to a London-area clinic suffering from exhaustion.
According to British media reports, Boyle, 48, was voluntarily taken by ambulance following a visit to her London hotel by police.
Per The Sun, Boyle checked into the Priory Clinic, but the facility issued a statement saying, "We can neither confirm nor deny reports." Likewise, Scotland Yard wouldn't name names, but said that a woman was brought in with police supervision under the Mental Health Act.
This is just another incident in a week of struggles for surprise international sensation. Prior to her Talent loss, Boyle was allegedly involved in two obscene outbursts and moved into a safe house before the finale.
Earlier Sunday, it was reported that Boyle would be taking some much needed time off at the behest of her doctor. ]]>

Chatting to the The Sun about his helicopter training, the 24-year-old Royal revealed he has been struggling with the theory side of aviation. (Not much of a surprise considering his academic performance at school was dodgy to say the least!)
Harry, who is 5 months into a two-year course to become an Army Air Corps combat pilot, said: "The flying is fantastic. But there are times I've thought, I'm really not cut out for this mentally. It's really intense.
"I knew it was going to be tough, but never thought it would be this tough. I hope I've got the physical skills to fly a helicopter. But there are the exams and everything. I can't do maths. I gave that up when I left school."
Harry has been living with his brother William as the boys both learn to fly helicopters at RAF Shawbury, Shropshire.
He joked: "William does most of the cooking while I just lie around watching TV and doing my work. He has more time on his hands because the RAF don't have to work as hard as the Army."
Shame - what a tough life!

Prince Harry's ex, 23, shared a VIP table with the 33-year-old property boss at the exclusive Cobden Club in West London, alongside Dan's twin brother Ben and Royal hanger-on Olivia Perry, aka Bubble.
My spy revealed: 'Chelsy and Dan couldn't keep their hands off of each other. But then a guy upset Chelsy so Dan had to take her to one side and calm her down.
'They ordered raspberry cocktails and round after round of flaming sambucas. They were on a heavy one.'
Chelsy moved back to London on Friday after finishing her law degree at Leeds University.
'Her mates tried to get her to stay for the university's Summer Ball,' a source revealed. 'But Chelsy was having none of it and wanted a big bash to mark her return to the capital.'
She will now have a holiday in South Africa before starting as a trainee solicitor at law firm Allen & Overy.
Meanwhile she will meet Harry at a party next month for his charity Sentebale.
'Chelsy is looking forward to seeing Harry, but Dan hasn't been invited,' said a source.

The veggie pop star is fuming about KANYE WEST's views on fur.
Pink blasted: "Kanye West is the person p***ing me off right now.
"I was at STELLA McCARTNEY's Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PAUL McCARTNEY and Kanye West.
"The entire time Kanye is going, 'They need more fur in this show'. He just wouldn't shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he's saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney!
"I was just so grossed out by him. I'm like, 'You're an idiot!'
"There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he's up there. I should wear him.
"Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur."
]]>
Pink knows she's seen as a "crazy, wild, take-no-s***-female". But she tells Australia's FHM mag she has a softer side. "Really, I'm just a girly girl too. I like running on the beach and gardening. I like baking and picking flowers." But it doesn't take long for the angry Pink to re-appear.
The singer, who recently reunited with hubby CAREY HART, said: "I once chartered a yacht through the Mediterranean. But in the end I tried to jump off the boat and kill myself because I wasn't getting along with the captain.
"The idea was we'd go to port every night so we wouldn't be rocking like The Perfect Storm, but he had other ideas.
"We were out in the ocean riding the waves. I got sick and couldn't take it.
"I got my favourite dress in one hand, a bottle of wine in the other and I was ready to jump in the ocean and die.
"Luckily Carey talked me down."
But Pink - who has TWO albums in the Top Ten - can do some mad stuff herself.
"I got to let my bulldog fly a private jet," she said. "We were in the air and I let him sit at the controls."
Remind me not to get on a plane with her.

Perhaps the 24-year-old is planning on repeating last year's impressive display of tanning - when he turned a deep mahogany colour.
The £100,000-a-week star spent his recuperation from ankle surgery soaking up the rays on a daily basis with a gaggle of supermodels.
This time the Portuguese heart-throb won't have long to enjoy the sun in Porto Cervo before it's back to the training ground.
Worth an estimated £70million, Ronaldo has continued to play down reports he will leave Manchester United for a move to Real Madrid.
Last year he angered fans by accusing his club of treating him 'like a slave', despite his enormous salary.
The beaches of Sardinia are a favourite holiday spot. He was there last year with then girlfriend, Spanish model Nereida Gallardo.]]>

Per The Sun, Boyle checked into the Priory Clinic, but the facility issued a statement saying, "We can neither confirm nor deny reports." Likewise, Scotland Yard wouldn't name names, but said that a woman was brought in with police supervision under the Mental Health Act.
This is just another incident in a week of struggles for surprise international sensation. Prior to her Talent loss, Boyle was allegedly involved in two obscene outbursts and moved into a safe house before the finale.
Earlier Sunday, it was reported that Boyle would be taking some much needed time off at the behest of her doctor. ]]>
Party loving Prince Harry has admitted: "I never thought it would be this tough."
Chatting to the The Sun about his helicopter training, the 24-year-old Royal revealed he has been struggling with the theory side of aviation. (Not much of a surprise considering his academic performance at school was dodgy to say the least!)
Harry, who is 5 months into a two-year course to become an Army Air Corps combat pilot, said: "The flying is fantastic. But there are times I've thought, I'm really not cut out for this mentally. It's really intense.
"I knew it was going to be tough, but never thought it would be this tough. I hope I've got the physical skills to fly a helicopter. But there are the exams and everything. I can't do maths. I gave that up when I left school."
Harry has been living with his brother William as the boys both learn to fly helicopters at RAF Shawbury, Shropshire.
He joked: "William does most of the cooking while I just lie around watching TV and doing my work. He has more time on his hands because the RAF don't have to work as hard as the Army."
Shame - what a tough life!

Chelsy Davy couldn't keep her hands off new beau Dan Philipson as they downed round after round of flaming sambucas on Friday night - despite him telling pals only last week that their relationship was just a fling.
Prince Harry's ex, 23, shared a VIP table with the 33-year-old property boss at the exclusive Cobden Club in West London, alongside Dan's twin brother Ben and Royal hanger-on Olivia Perry, aka Bubble.
My spy revealed: 'Chelsy and Dan couldn't keep their hands off of each other. But then a guy upset Chelsy so Dan had to take her to one side and calm her down.
'They ordered raspberry cocktails and round after round of flaming sambucas. They were on a heavy one.'
Chelsy moved back to London on Friday after finishing her law degree at Leeds University.
'Her mates tried to get her to stay for the university's Summer Ball,' a source revealed. 'But Chelsy was having none of it and wanted a big bash to mark her return to the capital.'
She will now have a holiday in South Africa before starting as a trainee solicitor at law firm Allen & Overy.
Meanwhile she will meet Harry at a party next month for his charity Sentebale.
'Chelsy is looking forward to seeing Harry, but Dan hasn't been invited,' said a source.

WE'VE had NOEL v LIAM and LILY v almost everyone - now it's PINK's turn for a feud.
The veggie pop star is fuming about KANYE WEST's views on fur.
Pink blasted: "Kanye West is the person p***ing me off right now.
"I was at STELLA McCARTNEY's Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PAUL McCARTNEY and Kanye West.
"The entire time Kanye is going, 'They need more fur in this show'. He just wouldn't shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he's saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney!
"I was just so grossed out by him. I'm like, 'You're an idiot!'
"There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he's up there. I should wear him.
"Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur."

Pink knows she's seen as a "crazy, wild, take-no-s***-female". But she tells Australia's FHM mag she has a softer side. "Really, I'm just a girly girl too. I like running on the beach and gardening. I like baking and picking flowers." But it doesn't take long for the angry Pink to re-appear.
The singer, who recently reunited with hubby CAREY HART, said: "I once chartered a yacht through the Mediterranean. But in the end I tried to jump off the boat and kill myself because I wasn't getting along with the captain.
"The idea was we'd go to port every night so we wouldn't be rocking like The Perfect Storm, but he had other ideas.
"We were out in the ocean riding the waves. I got sick and couldn't take it.
"I got my favourite dress in one hand, a bottle of wine in the other and I was ready to jump in the ocean and die.
"Luckily Carey talked me down."
But Pink - who has TWO albums in the Top Ten - can do some mad stuff herself.
"I got to let my bulldog fly a private jet," she said. "We were in the air and I let him sit at the controls."
Remind me not to get on a plane with her.
Perhaps the 24-year-old is planning on repeating last year's impressive display of tanning - when he turned a deep mahogany colour.
The £100,000-a-week star spent his recuperation from ankle surgery soaking up the rays on a daily basis with a gaggle of supermodels.
This time the Portuguese heart-throb won't have long to enjoy the sun in Porto Cervo before it's back to the training ground.
Worth an estimated £70million, Ronaldo has continued to play down reports he will leave Manchester United for a move to Real Madrid.
Last year he angered fans by accusing his club of treating him 'like a slave', despite his enormous salary.
The beaches of Sardinia are a favourite holiday spot. He was there last year with then girlfriend, Spanish model Nereida Gallardo.]]>
