Leona Lewis Saves Bunny From Death

Peter Cottontail would be proud of Leona Lewis and her heroic move to save a bunny from becoming stew on Melrose Avenue.

Leona was strutting down Melrose Avenue to do some shopping when she spotted a homeless man with a bunny. When the man said he would probably eat the little fuzzy butt, Leona whipped out $100 for the homeless man not to, and took it home with her.

 Leona Lewis was walking down Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles last week shopping for some fancy duds, when she spotted a homeless man sitting tight with a leashed white bunny. When she asked the man what he was planning on doing with the animal, he replied, "Don't know -- probably eat it."

On the spot, the vegetarian X Factor winner asked how much she could pay him to rescue the bunny, the Sun reports, and after he asked for $20, she generously dropped a Benjamin (that's, er, a $100 dollar bill) into the man's hands before scurrying home with her new friend (whom she's since named Melrose).

Leona's new pet will roam her Hollywood Hills garden, likely alongside her Rottweiler, Rome.

That poor rabbit is going to hop around in fear for the rest of its life living with that beast of a dog! I think I'd take my chances with the homeless dude. My neighborhood is over-run with rabbits, so I would gladly send a few to the guy on the street if he's looking for a meal.
