Leona Lewis is having hypnotherapy to boost her confidence. The "Bleeding Love" singer's mentor Simon Cowell has arranged for her to be treated by celebrity therapist Paul McKenna to banish her nerves ahead of her proposed 14-month tour.

A source said: "Seeing as Leona is on the path to becoming a global touring powerhouse, no corners will be cut."

Courtney Love spent $300,000 on her daughter's birthday party. The Hole singer - who is the widow of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain - spared no expense in ushering Frances Bean into adulthood at her "RIP childhood" themed 16th birthday.

The event - held at Los Angeles' House of Blues restaurant - saw Frances sporting a dress previously worn by her father Cobain at a performance at Reading Festival.

The 48-year-old music mogul is believed to have walked out on Terri, 34, following a blazing row over Terri's insecurities, and he has now ended their six-year relationship.

A friend of Simon's told Britain's Star magazine: "He told me he is tired of Terri's insecurities. They lead separate lives, and that's how he likes it, but lately she has turned up unannounced at events he is at."
