Leona Lewis is fast becoming a gay favorite in America after refusing to let a broken down car ruin her night at a TV awards gala. The "Bleeding Love" singer faced a dilemma on her way to the first NewNowNext Awards show in New York on Monday when her car broke down en route.

Quick-thinking Lewis hailed a cab and made her own way to the prize-giving, organized by bosses at gay TV network Logo.

She was rewarded for her efforts - Lewis picked up the Kylie Award as the Next International Crossover.

She beat Robyn, Sia and Duffy.
