Lily Allen Quits Music
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Rumors
UPDATE: Her rep is now denying that Lily is planning to quit her music career. Read more here.
Yet another actress leaves her music career to pursue her Hollywood fantasy. This time it’s “Smile” singer Lily Allen.
The British pop star made the announcement yesterday on her blog. The news comes following the release of her second album, It’s Not Me, It’s You. Yes, you read that correctly—she’s calling it quits after her sophomore album.
Instead of music, Allen plans to bide her time with acting—she’ll be making her debut in a West End production of Neil LaBute’s play, Reasons To Be Pretty.
Allen was forced to take down her blog because “the abuse was getting too much” (so said her Twitter page), but here’s what it did read:
Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record (applause). I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade. The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I’m concerned, so I don’t (at this point) stand to profit from legislation. Except future purchases of previously recorded material (which won’t be much).

Lily Allen Cannot Wait to be a Mom
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Pregnancies
Lily Allen thinks that her best achievement will be raising children.
The “Not Fair” singer, who suffered a miscarriage in 2008, is desperate to become a mother and knows that she’ll provide her kids with all the love and care they need.
“I’ll be proud once I’ve had kids and they’ve grown up all right. I want to do it now. I don’t feel like I’m very good at anything in life, and I think that’s one thing I probably will be quite good at, being a mum. I think I’ll love my kids, and I think I’ll do it really well.”
Although she is keen to have children, the 24-year-old star doesn’t think that she needs to be in a relationship to do so and admits she finds it hard finding suitors. Lily, who is currently dating painter and decorator Sam Cooper, said, “I don’t necessarily need a man. It would have to be the right person. It’s difficult for me to find someone. I want to be looked after, and I also want to be with someone who is not intimidated by me and what I do. That’s quite difficult to find. That person would have to be quite successful and powerful. I’d like him to be proud of me but not impressed.”
Lily Allen Addicted to Men
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Parties, Rumors
Lily Allen thrives on male attention.
The “Not Fair” singer loves surrounding herself with men, as she likes feeling as if she is the center of their world.
“I enjoy the company of men more than women. I like the attention, I suppose. It probably sounds really b****y, but I like being on tour because I know all my boys, my band, first and foremost their priority is looking out for me, and I like that. I like being in a room and four f***ing bimbos coming in and they’re all drooling after them but knowing that really the one they care about is me. That makes me feel comforted. And maybe that’s sick.”
However, the 24-year-old singer insists she is not interested in being viewed as a sex object by men. Lily enjoys the feeling of power she gets when she knows that men think she looks attractive, but also wants boys to be interested in more than just her looks and body.
“I like people to find me sexually attractive. But I don’t like people thinking of me as t**s-and-a*s. I’m just not interested in that.”
She still sounds confused.
Lily Allen Wears Simons’ Sparkler
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Engagements
Lily Allen still wears a diamond ring given to her by ex-boyfriend Ed Simons.
The “It’s Not Fair” singer, who sparked rumors of an engagement with the Chemical Brothers star last year when she was regularly seen sporting the rock on her ring finger, puts the solitaire band on everyday because she is terrified of losing it.
She said: “Ed, my ex-boyfriend, gave me a diamond ring which I still wear pretty much everyday. I always have this diamond ring from Ed and my little emerald ring from my mother that I got for my 17th birthday. I’m quite precious about my jewelry. Although I always lose jewelry on flights because I’m sleeping.”
However, the 24-year-old pop star has not always been so protective of her expensive accessories. She explained to More magazine:
“My grandmother gave me a sovereign ring about two weeks before my 16th birthday, and I was so broke at the time, I pawned it. I felt really, really bad and had every intention of buying it back as soon as I had the money! That same birthday, my brother, completely without realizing, had gone to the local pawn shop to buy me a birthday present and bought me the exact same ring. It’s like it was destined to be. I’ll hold that one close forever. God, if I lost that I’d feel awful.”
Lily Allen Exposes a Little Skin
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Videos
Some celebrities try hard to hide imperfections; others simply grin and bare them.
In a recent interview on De Wereld Draait Door, Lily Allen revealed more than what the Dutch audience was probably expecting. When asked about her famous third nipple (or “nubbin,” as Chandler Bing would call it), the “Smile” singer decided to give Jakhals Frank a look for himself. (Cue the video to the 2:20 mark.)

Lily Allen vs. Elton John

UPDATE: You can read Lily’s version of the evening on her MySpace page.
These days, telling people Lily Allen had a drunken night is like telling people Amy Winehouse is still on drugs. The news is kind of expected.
But last night in London, a surprising thing happened to Lily. Not only were her boozing ways called out—they were spotlighted in a very public forum.
While emceeing Britain’s version of the GQ Men of the Year Awards, the 23-year-old was rarely seen without a champagne glass wrapped tightly in her hands. This sad behavior (coupled with her slurred words and F-bombs) bothered Elton John so much, the co-host eventually let her know it. What followed was a very tense and nasty exchange between the two musicians.

Lily Allen Needs a Leash For Her Dog!
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Style, Charity, Kind Acts, Meltdowns, Where Are They Now?
Seemingly back on track with her new, tamed brunette hair color, British pop singer Lily Allen can’t seem to do everything right just yet! It seems as if the troubled tabloid target completely forgot to grab her dog leash when she went out the other day.
While I’m glad that Lily has advocated adoption at local shelters, I still don’t see why she would ever forget her poor dog’s leash—look at the dog’s poor face!
Maybe Lily simply forgot that despite her new ‘do, we’re still keeping a close watch on her. As if that awards incident wasn’t a mere month ago…

Lily Allen Shocks Fans, Press at Glamour Awards

In less than a day, British punkster Lily Allen managed to shock both fans and press several times at Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards, including a much talked-about quick departure due to her intoxication.
First there was the hair. Having just gone from dark to light, no one expected Lily to quickly change to an extreme pink! To be honest, while many folks slammed her fashion for the choice in hair color, I loved it! Okay, so I may be slightly biased since that is my own personal favorite hair color, but jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino and pop rebel Pink have both successfully pulled it off—why can’t Lily?

More Celebrity Hair Changes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Hair Styles, Photos, Editorials
A few days ago, I wrote about a certain group of actresses who I thought were in need of a hair change. A lack of experimentation had those women stuck in a serious styling rut.
While I’m still waiting to see if my listed few will actually get around to surprising me, several other celebrities have come out of the woodwork recently to sport their new spring ‘dos. Although some tweaks came out better than others, I applaud every single one of them for at least trying.
1. Ben Stiller (The grey hair was what he had before he showed up at The Ruins premiere.)
