Nice. I guess when Lily feels she’s hit the big time, she wants to arrive for a show in style….and so she did.

Apparently the super-producer, Mark Ronson offered jokingly (or so he says) to buy Lily Allen “anything you want, a car, a driver, a helicopter” when she agreed to perform at Glastonbury last year. He says that he was stunned that she called him on it and had her assistant call him with the $10,000 bill.

He says, “She completely took me seriously! And what was I going to say at that point? I had to f**king pay for it. She got the helicopter.”

Hey, I’d say don’t offer a chopper and be stunned when you get the bill. You offered, Mark. You said, “Anything you want”. What else ya got?

Lily Allen has blogged on her official MySpace page that she was informed by her record company that her new album, “It’s Not Me, It’s You” has a pretty good chance of going to number one here in the U.S.

She says:

Im currently sitting behing Alison krauss and Robert plant, who, quite rightly are sitting at no 1 . ive never had a number one album in England , never mind the US ,and all of this is a bit crazy . I could well be up for no1 here(America ) , which makes me want to cry a bit . Iv’e never begged you to buy from me ever,but I am now . this will be the only time ever in my life that this could happen for me. Help me get to no 1 , go to I tunes and download the album, you’re the only hope ive got guys. Ill love you forever.

Ps thank you to everyone who has brought me this far.

I love you alwys x

I hope it does go to number one. I can’t stand Allison Krauss and what she’s done to our Robert Plant. She’s turned him from rock god to country whiner and it ticks me off that she’s probably the reason why Led Zeppelin won’t get back together. Grrr.

Back to Lily, she definitely deserves to be number one, I can’t stop listening to “Fag Hag”.

Lily Allen’s new album, “It’s Not Me, It’s You” is set for release on February 9th. Early birds will be able to snatch up the album for a mere $3.99 for only a week, though.

She’s really giving the album away…well, close enough anyways.

Lily has previously said that she hasn’t really made a killing off of her music, so I figured that’s why she wasn’t going the way of Radiohead and just giving it away for free.

She is teaming up with MySpace Music and Amazon.com that will allow her to offer her new album for the lower price until February 16th.

I hope it does well. Eff Katy Perry.

Lily Allen performed “The Fear” on GMTV yesterday. I think the song sounds remarkably like the studio version of the song, which leads me to believe that it might be lip-sync’d.

Have a listen and let me know what you think:

Live? Or is it what she calls “mimed”?

Three new songs have leaked from Lily Allen’s new album, “It’s Not You, It’s Me”. They’re called “Fag Hag”, “Kabul Sh*t”, and “22″. Have a listen before they get yanked from Youtube. If they do, you can check out the leaked songs here.

Enjoy!

“Fag Hag”:

“22″:

“Kabul Sh*t”:

I have to say, “Fag Hag” is my favorite of the three. I think she’s poking fun at Katy Perry and her “You’re So Gay” nonsense.

Lily Allen is taking aim at celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and describes him as a “woman hater”.

Lily says that she supports equality for gay people and says, “I just feel you have no right hate anyone because of how they’re born. I think if you’re a human being with a heart in your chest, you’re the same as everyone else.”

Of Perez, she says, “I find him quite annoying…as a gay man you should be championing young girls that are going out there and doing their own thing and not slamming them for owning their sexuality and calling them sluts. When he’s happy he’s good and when he’s sad about himself he’s really horrible – about everyone. He’s a woman hater but I think that’s something to do with his own self-loathing. So much of what he does is bullying.”

On a side note, WTF is on her head?

File this under: Oops! Dumb!!

Lily Allen accidentally sent a text message of herself topless to Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson.

Ricky said, “I got this weird text the other day from Lily Allen of her topless. And I’m looking at it going ‘why has she sent me that?’!” A minute later, she followed up the message with, “Sorry – wrong Ricky!”

Ricky said that he later asked Lily about it and she said, “That was really embarrassing. I was completely topless.”

Lily Allen also covered The Clash’s “Straight To Hell”, which you can listen to below:

Love her music. Thank God she’s not a one-hit wonder.

Katy Perry was in attendance at the NRJ Awards in France when she was incorrectly announced as the award winner for Best International Song. The award was actually intended for Rihanna for her song, Disturbia. Katy graciously accepted the award all the while Disturbia was playing.

It’s a shame. They totally botched that one, didn’t they?

The host admitted and apologized for the error at the end of the show. NRJ is a French radio station that is her label’s partner, with their awards being voted upon by the public. It looks like she will be expected at every single NRJ events and will probably win something, as well.

Think it’s a setup? Somewhere in the world Lily Allen is cackling about this.

Here’s Katy’s new video for “Thinking of You”:

Not to be outdone by MTV’s list of the top videos of 2008, I’ve decided to release my very own list. These were my top nine videos of 2008:

Enjoy!

Everybody and their uncle is jumping on the Womanizer bandwagon. First, Lily Allen covered it, and now The All American Rejects want a piece of the pie.

They covered the song nice and slow, much to the joy of the crowd. In the middle of singing, they threw in some of the Turtles song, So Happy Together. What a funky version of the song.

Did you like it?

Lily Allen covered Britney Spears’ song Womanizer in a new twist. She did it up slower and more British sounding.

What do you think? Britney fans sound off! Which version do you like better? I’m afraid the more I listen to Lily, the more I like it. Your thoughts?

Katy Perry is apologizing to Lily Allen after saying that she is a skinnier version of her. I figured this was coming, since Lily is the bigger artist.

Katy says, “Yeah, I made a joke about that earlier this year. I was just kind of joking and trying to be funny. I didn’t mean anything by it. Comedians are not necessarily to be taken super seriously.”

So by her own admission, she’s a comedian now? I was not aware of that. She sounded like a one hit wonder to me, so far. Whereas, Lily has actually had a couple of songs that I actually liked.

I have to ask again, where’s the apology to Amy Winehouse? She doesn’t even compare in regard to vocal talent. Have you heard Katy Perry sing live yet? It’s horrendous and it makes her recorded music sound like all she uses is a vocoder.

Lily Allen is starting crap again. First it was with Elton John, and now she’s feuding with Katy Perry.

According to Lily, her label was looking for an American version of her, so they chose Katy Perry. Lily says that Katy called her fat in the past and says that she should just shut up.

Lily said, “I happened to know for a fact that she was an American version of me. She was signed by my label in America as, ‘We need to find something controversial and kooky like Lily Allen.’ And then they found her. I think the lyrics and stuff are a bit crass.’

Lily went on to say that Katy dissed her in the past, calling her fat:

She added, “When I met her I was a bit frosty with her because someone asked her to describe herself. She’s like, ‘Aha, I’m like a fatter version of Amy Winehouse and a skinnier version of Lily Allen!’ It’s like, you’re not English and you don’t write your own songs, shut up!”

What mostly appalls me is that Katy Perry thinks she can compare herself to the likes of Amy Winehouse. WTF kind of drugs is she on?

Lily Allen is a terrible videoblogger!

She just posted this video on her Myspace blog, as a test of her “new toy”.

She blathers on about stuff and she talks with her mouth full. Lily, didn’t your parents teach you any manners?

Lily Allen has responded to the media frenzy that surrounds her and Elton John at the GQ Men of the Year Awards. It was said that the two were basically embroiled in a war of words, but she’s taken to her myspace blog to let us all know that they are friends…..and that she drank the free champagne…It might have all been in good fun.

Here’s what she had to say, just now:

Hi

Hi , now it’s all died down i’m saying my side of what I can’t believe is considered to be a story.
Elton john and I are friends. I was honoured when Elton asked me to present the GQ awards with him this year in association with Elton’s AIDS foundation. Not only was it for a good cause but who would say no to Elton.
I’m not defending my drunkeness because i don’t need to, i’m 23 it was an awards ceremony i drank the free champagne, how awful of me.

Trying to create a feud on the other hand, and trying to make me out as being some rude little girl with a drink problem is just unfair, Elton and I exchanged jokes and there were no hard feelings at all, infact neither of us gave it a second thought. It’s sad that an evening enjoyed by all had to ruined by some bitter journos again.

Alfie and Jamie had never been engaged, Jamie and I are the best of friends and I was just winding Alfie up , he’s my little brother and that’s what siblings do. Jamie wasn’t pissed off with me, if she was i would have known about it, believe me.
This isn’t meant to be a place for me to respond to journalists, but I am very grateful I have this page, if i didn’t then i would have absolutely no voice when it comes to this stuff.

All these showbiz journalists are just bullies when it comes down to it. I have felt really very bullied this week.I realise that when i first started this job I slagged a few people off when I probably shouldn’t have and I have been opinionated about some things, but i haven’t said a bad word about anyone for a long time, even when I have wanted to, even when people have tried to start feuds and said horrible things about me when they’d never even met me, when they’d based an opinion on me because of something they’d read. It’s hurtful, but it’s fine if you want to print a picture of me and say how awful I look, how much weight i’ve put on or how terrible my choice of clothes were that day. In my opinion it’s still a form of bullying and if anyone spoke to any of my friends like that to their faces i’d want to kill them. But character assasination is another thing it’s just not needed.

I turned up and presented an awards ceremony for charity, i drank some champagne and went home for 12.30 and again I’ve been made to feel like a bad friend and an embarassment to my fans and the people who support me. I shouldn’t have to defend myself when i’ve done nothing wrong.

And by the way, to all the photographers waiting outside my house. I won’t be leaving for a while, all my friends have gone to Bestival and i’ve got enough food and fags to last me till wednesday, so you might as well fuck off and find somebody else to make miserable.

You know she did this probably because of all of the negative press that she got for trying to insult Elton John.

Lily Allen and Elton John were at the GQ Men of the Year Awards show where Lily had been scarfing down liquor left and right. She says, “And the most important part of the evening…” and gets interrupted by Elton who says, “Are you going to have another drink?”

She tells him to eff off and that she’s 40 years younger than he is and that she has her whole life ahead of her. To which he responds, “I could still snort you under the table.”

Nice!

Elton +1 Lily 0

Lily Allen spent most of the night at the Groucho Club and Ronnie Scott’s with a friend before getting in an argument with a member of the public.

The girl started to verbally abuse the singer, so Lily punched her three times!

It’s being reported now that Lily Allen has completed her second album. Thank God for that, I was starting to think that she’d be remembered as that chick who did Smile.

She said that she’s not concerned with what her record label thinks of the new material.

“As much as I love them they’re just people who give you a loan. I’m not scared of my label,” she told the BBC.

She’s also been working with Klaxons singer Jamie Reynolds on a new track. She says, “We had our session and enlightened each other. We did a cover of Joe Jackson’s Steppin’ Out.

Commenting on the new song, Jamie added: “It was just for a bit of enjoyment. I don’t even know if it’ll even exist yet. It’s a big work in progress.”

Yes that’s Lily Allen being carried after getting drunk at the Glamour magazine Women of the Year Awards. She’s a true inspiration for us all!

And she wrote about the experience on her Myspace blog:

“Oh dear

Last time i wrote here , I was defending my honor and dignity , explaining my innocence and also outrage at the press for insinuating my behaviour was embarrassing. This time i’m putting my hands up , i got very drunk last night , too drunk. It’s not cool getting that drunk , i feel awful and I have to thank my little brother alf for getting me home safely.
Kids , drink responsibly or you’ll end up looking like this , not pretty ! Was quite fun though , from what i can remember. need fry up now . “

Wow, I’m in shock here. First the couple, Lily Allen and Ed Simons, seemed all happy as pie when they got the news that she was pregnant. But not long after the news of her miscarriage, have we found out that Lily Allen has been dumped by her boyfriend.

Two weeks after suffering a miscarriage, to be exact. She was devastated when Ed Simons told her that he wanted to call it quits. She was all ready to settle down and tame her wild ways to concentrate on building a family.

Now, not only does she have to grieve for her unborn baby, but she’s doing it alone. Following numerous arguments, the two could not bring themselves to make their relationship work.

A friend of the singer said, “The miscarriage was a horrible experience for both of them – and in recent weeks the mood between them has been really strained.” She added, “Lily is really upset things haven’t worked out for her and Ed.”

I think Ed Simons is a jerk for leaving Lily so quickly after the couple suffered such a great loss. Hope she has the support of family and friends around her in this difficult time.

“If I don’t see them, they don’t exist.”

Smile hitmaker, Lily Allen refuses to read the tabloids.

Just because your pregnant Lily, doesn’t mean you can show off your tatas…or tata, even.

This is not really news, I just wanted to tell Lily to cover up her baby’s future lunch maker!

Lily Allen is blasting British tabloids for being sexist stating that Amy Winehouse, Kelly Osbourne, and her faces are plastered on the papers after nights out partying, but male stars aren’t treated the same way.

Anyone want to give Lily a little privacy so that she can party until the break of dawn without anyone knowing?

No? Didn’t think so.

She says, “I don’t think (the tabloids) like young women doing well, or having fun. I mean, James Blunt goes out and gets on it and no one cares. We do that and it’s all over the papers. It’s sad. Those people who write for those gossip magazines, they’re not even writers. They can’t even punctuate.”

I beg to differ. I can punctuate. I’m not British either. Then again, I’ll publish anything and everything music or celebrity related.
