Christina Cancels

I feel bad for Leona Lewis – girlfriend can’t catch a break in the United States.

The British chanteuse was supposed to open Christina Aguilera’s summer tour beginning in July, but now that the latter’s cancelled the whole thing, that won’t be the case.

Aguilera cited promotion for her feature film debut, Burlesque (which opens in November), and, oddly enough, promotion for her new record, Bionic (out on June 8), as reasons for the postponement. She also announced she plans to hit the road next year, after all.

“The singer felt she needed more time to rehearse the show,” a statement said. “With less than a month between the album release and [the] tour, this wasn’t possible.”

Of course, everyone knows her first single, “Not Myself Tonight,” and its video have underwhelmed.

In any case, Lewis is kinda getting the rawer deal – she could’ve used the promotion, y’ know, since her latest stuff hasn’t hit stateside…and the duet she and Jennifer Hudson sing on the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack is kind of eh.
