Lily Allen: Promises to sing with Professor Green


On Professor Green's face Lily Allen has certainly put a Smile.
She promised to sing with him at Glastonbury AND gave him a £10,000 black Rolex with his name inscribed on it.
The Prof said: "It is the best present I've ever had, I'm blown away."
But their duet was in the balance after Lily missed her ride to tend to her sick dog Mabel. If you need a lift, Lil, we'll take you in our Cherokee Jeep.

Lily Allen: Lily Allen won’t be on X Factor 2010


X factor series Lily Allen has denied reports that she will be judging on this year.
‘The Fear’ singer sources had claimed would be joining Geri Hallwell, Natalie Imbruglia and Katy Perry as a stand in for pregnant Dannii Minogue in the nationwide auditions. Many had wondered how this would work, as permanent judge Cheryl Cole and Lily have often been openly hostile towards each other.
Sunday Mirror Allen told: “I won’t be a judge on X Factor. That’s so not the sort of thing I’d do.
“But I wouldn’t have a problem sitting next to Cheryl. There’s no feud.
“I have nothing bad to say about her. Her song ‘Parachute’ is genius and it’s on my iPod.”
Spice Girl Geri and Torn singer Natalie have already carried out their judging duties in Glasgow and Birmingham respectively. Pixie Lott and Katy Perry will take their seats later this month.

Lily Allen: Lily Allen sensibly slinks out of Glamour Awards before afterparty


At the Glamour Awards Lily Allen was determined not to show herself up, the last time she went, back in 2008, as a skunk she had to be carried out drunk.

But this year, Lily, in a blousy black frock from her new collection, Lucy In Disguise, did the sensible thing.

Before the after party she left and went home to builder boyfriend Sam Cooper. Boring!


Lily, who won Artist of the Year, said: "I've always found it actually funny going to awards ceremonies that I've been to before. I just think, 'Felling hell, remember last time I did this?' Last time I was there I was carried over rails by security guards trying to smuggle me out. I woke up and had no idea, no recollection. And I Googled myself."
Lily, 25, who plans to retire from pop to start a family, added: "I don't really listen to modern music because Sam and I don't have a CD player. We listen to old records. He's a big country and western fan."
Yee-haw...

Lily Allen: Brits win was stitch-up and means nothing to me

Lily Allen declared that winning a Brit award earlier this year meant "absolutely nothing" to her.
The singer scooped the prize for Best Female Solo Artist in February, an accolade she described at the time as being the "perfect goodbye", having previously confirmed plans to quit music.
After being nominated six times for Brits in 2007 and 2010, it seemed to finally seal her success in the music business.
But Lily, who's now concentrating on her fashion emporium Lucy In Disguise with her half-sister Sarah Owen, said: "I got a Brit Award. That was something four years ago I would have died for.
"But when I got the award, it meant absolutely nothing to me. Because I now know that the Brit Awards is a TV show.
"Record company executives make deals with a TV channel and the producers about who wins what award in exchange for performance time.
"So it's become a non-award, like, 'Thank you for this'."
Lily marked her win by opening the show with her hit The Fear and donning a ginger wig as she giggled through her speech, admitting: "I only wore this orange wig because I thought it would make it harder for the cameramen to find me when I didn't win and made my sad face."
She later told reporters: "This hasn't changed my plans to quit. It's actually been really good as something to work towards for the last six months.
"It is the perfect way to say goodbye. I have so much I want to do now with my shop and record label."
At the time, it seemed certain the award would take pride of place alongside her 12 others, including two from NME, One Q Award and one for Glamour Woman of the Year.
But despite beating off tough competition from Leona Lewis and Florence Welch, the trophy is now worthless in her eyes.
Lily is up for two gongs at this year's prestigious Ivor Novello Awards alongside rapper Dizzee Rascal. Her chart-topping single The Fear will be competing against Girls Aloud's The Promise in the category for Most Performed Work.
The Fear has also been nominated for the award for Best Song Musically & Lyrically and is up against The Leisure Society's Save it For Someone Who Cares and Patch William's The Last Bus.
Lily, who is now gearing up for a reality TV series about her life in fashion, told fans after she was nominated: "So honoured, I cried a little."

Lily Allen goes Topless.


British singer Lily Allen is set to cause a storm Down Under - she will appear topless on the front cover of Harper's Bazaar Australia.

The Smile hitmaker, who is winding down her pop career to launch her own designer clothes hire store and record label, will grace the sleeve of the magazine's May edition.

The image shows her naked from the waist up, with one arm covering the right side of her chest but with her left breast clearly on show.

But magazine bosses have cleverly avoided any potential fallout from the risque cover - the image is a painting based on a photo from Allen's topless shoot for Harper's Bazaar Russia in January.

Lily Allen puts her foot down as a girl racer

It could be time for Lily Allen to have a spin on Top Gear after the retired pop star showed off her new wheels in a car park with mates.
The ‘girl racer’ posted a video of herself to Twitter performing stunts in her lean, mean, green machine... a Ford Focus RS.
Pushing her motor to the limit, she is seen throwing the car into a screeching ‘j-turn’.
The 24-year-old then jumps in the back seat to let her two chums, Paul and Crispin, have a go.
She squeals with delight as Crispin performs a ‘180’ skid – before reprimanding her friend for not wearing a seat belt. ‘Crispin! Seat belt, you oaf,’ she screams.
But paparazzi-loathing Allen hasn’t done herself any favours by choosing a very recognisable bright green model.
And her Twitter followers seemed a little disappointed by the choice, which costs about £25,000.
‘I thought you were getting a landrover???? this isn’t gonna get you away from the papps, but still a cool car kind of a down grade from a BMW though ;)’ one pal wrote.

Lily Allen facing smoking investigation over Liverpool gig


Lily Allen is the subject of an investigation by Liverpool City Council over whether she was smoking during her gig at the Liverpool Echo Arena last Wednesday (December 9).

The council heard that the singer had allegedly sparked up during her gig due to reports from local media and they are liasing with the venue staff as part of the enquiry, reports BBC News.
A spokesperson for the council explained that if Allen had indeed smoked during the show she would be in breach of workplace legislation. She and the venue could face a fine.
The council has appealed to anyone who saw her smoking on stage to get in touch with them to help the investigation. Allen's spokesperson said she wouldn't be commenting on the issue.
