A man played "Donkey Kong" ("Punch Out") with 24-year-old, Sony singer Leona Lewis, at the book signing for her autobiography.
A 29-year-old man, waited in line for five hours, gave her his copy of her book to sign and as she looked up after doing so, he clocked her on the side of her head by her eye, giving her a full punch.
Her bodyguards then tackled him to the floor. It's a good thing her bodyguards were there protecting her, otherwise someone could have punched her in the face (slow). Where's Kevin Costner when you need him.
Her spokesman that witnessed the attack stated, the attacker said nothing before and after punching her, while others saw him smirking. He was detained under the Mental Health Act in London and is due to appear in court on October 26, 2009.
A commenter in a feedback section on another site, quipped regarding the attacker, "Who let Chris Brown in?" It's amazing how much of a punchline he has become since beating Rihanna back.
While, there's nothing funny about domestic violence, Lewis is one of the most indistinct personalities in pop music, who's now singing stolen music, as mentioned three days ago, therefore many are scratching their heads at her allegedly authoring a biography, wondering how much there is to tell.

According to a witness, "[the attacker] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her." Another onlooker said: "She was running out with her hand over her eye and I just saw a man on the floor." ...
