Being A Businesswoman Is Funny, Lily Allen

Lily Allen finds it "funny" that she spends her days behind a desk nowadays.
Earlier this year, the pop star announced she would be turning her back on music to concentrate on various business projects for a while. As well as launching a vintage fashion boutique with her sister Sarah, Lily has also been setting up her own record label.
The 25 year old has left the glitz and glamour of her showbiz lifestyle behind, and now spends every day working hard from the London headquarters of her business enterprise.
"I have got a little office in Soho now and I go out and go and sit at my desk every day, it's quite funny," the star told the British edition of OK! magazine.
Lily admits working in an office isn't as fun as touring the world and performing sell out concerts, but says she's enjoying the change.
"I'm setting up business plans and all pretty boring stuff, but it's quite exciting," she added.
Lily has been allowing herself the odd night out, though, as she's scouting talent for her new record label.
The star has already discovered some promising new acts, but is remaining tight lipped over their identities to avoid other labels signing them before her.
"I have been meeting with lots and lots of different people. I can't say who, because someone else will go and find them!" teased Lily.

Alison Owen, who raised Lily and her brother Alfie alone after her marriage to actor Keith Allen broke down, insists she has always been proud of the 25 year old star’s musical success, but was concerned they wouldn’t be as close as they always had been. She told Grazia magazine, “I was extremely proud of what she had achieved, but I felt scared for her, protective of her, jealous other people had a part of her. It felt as if she wasn’t mine so much any more.”Alison was left particularly concerned when Lily got drunk and started slurring her words, as well as arguing on stage with music legend Sir Elton John, at the GQ Awards in 2008.She said, “I was worried because she had drunk too much and I don’t want her to do anything she’s going to feel bad about. “That night got blown out of proportion, though. She’s good friends with Elton, and they both thought it was funny.”
