Lily Allen vs. Courtney Love?

Lily Allen denies that she became embroiled in a scrap with Courtney Love at this week’s NME Awards in London, but still pulled out the claws for one quick swipe at the Hole rocker. Read what she had to say after the jump.

According to reports, the pair struck up a conversation backstage at the awards, which quickly turned heated and allegedly involved third parties pulling them apart.

Love then did what she does well, headed for Twitter:

“so i reserve my bile ( dont worry shell slag me off cos we got into a BIG fight) for someone who NOONE i know likes calls herself”relevant”

i mean ive been nice as pie to this one, endured countless attacks and said nothing refers to self as “relevant” about every t10 minutes

im not lowering myself to name her but she vibed me and i was having so much fun and hiss meow so i confronted her ” what IS yr problem”

“why did ou say that about me” she screamed hissing, hh? i conplimeted her ashion powers, “what?say what” then ensueing, then i cant get it

i know most peoplein rock an dmusic in london and i dont know one human being that likes this person i jjust dont get it,

Allen then responded, also via Twitter:

‘just clearing a couple of things up. Courtney Love and I did NOT have a bust up at the NME’S. There was an exchange of words, yes

she’s upset because she has got it into her head that i put a lock on some dresses for the brit awards. she’s made no secret of this and when i saw her at the NME’S she tried to talk to me and i told her to shut up stop spreading stupid rumours about me.

and thats pretty much it. i would never fight with her , as a rule i don’t pick on crazy old ladies.”

Lily Allen Slams "The New York Times"

Lily Allen has blasted The New York Times on her official blog, after the publication allegedly sold photos of the Brit-popstar to a tabloid magazine, labeling her post “The New York Time (sic) are cheap skanks.” Read the full post after the jump.

The singer wrote the following, long, message on her website:

“The New York Time are cheap skanks


Heya,

So, something has been really bugging me and I have to get it off my chest. A few months ago Ambrosia my press agent and friend called me very excited saying the New York Times asked if they could do a piece about me for the cover of their Arts section. It goes without saying The New York Times is an incredibly prestigious publication, so of course we were all very excited at the prospect. The plan was that a NYT reporter would fly in from New York, hang out at my house for a little while do the bulk of the interview there, to make it feel more relaxed and then we’d go out for dinner after. The reporter could not have been more lovely, she was called Milena and she did indeed come over to the house, I showed her round, she helped me pick out my outfit (an ISSA patterned all in one, louboutins, hoop earrings just in case you were wondering). Then she got out her Dictaphone, we did an interview for an hour, hour and a half and then went out for dinner. We went to this restaurant called the Wolsley and ordered a bottle of wine. I wasn’t really drinking at the time, but I was having so much fun with Milena and I felt so relaxed and chilled I decided to let my barriers down a little. Anyway, we ate diner, I had Wiener Schnitzel she had Duck and we shared a pickled cucumber salad thing, some friends dropped by for a drink at the end of the meal, it was a lovely evening. I actually left Milena with my friend Louis in the end, as I had to go and meet someone else for another previously arranged dinner, I knew she was in London alone and she and Louis seemed to get along so I felt happy leaving her in his care. I gave Milena my email address and contact details and said if she thought of anything else she needed for her article all she need do is ask, and I bid them both farewell. Thinking back, I did feel a little awkward about her paying for dinner, but she insisted.
Earlier on in the day a photographer whose name escapes me came round to the house to take a picture to accompany the NYT piece, they wanted one picture of me in my home setting. Seeing as the piece was so intimate and the biggest part of the interview had been conducted at my house. It is unusual for me to allow photographers into my home but these seemed like special circumstances and after all TNYT is one of the most respected news publications in the world.
The article came out little over a month ago and it was great, a really nice piece with a picture of me sat on my sofa, on the cover of the arts section.
The next time I saw Milena was in New York a couple of weeks ago, I played a gig at the Bowery Ballroom and had an after party at the Spotted Pig, we had a drink and I thanked her for the article as it was very complimentary, it’s not often people write nice things about me.
Now I want to be clear, this has nothing to do with Milena she is a reporter and that is all. The reason what I’m about to tell you is so hurtful is because I had a really nice time with her and I feel that I will only ever feel badly about that day in London from now on.
When you read magazines such as NOW, People, US weekly, Heat, More etc they print pictures that they buy from other magazines for instance, I’ll do a shoot and an interview with SPIN magazine or Observer Music Monthly and they might syndicate those pictures or sell them to other magazines. These magazines will then print those pictures alongside a whole bunch of quotes lifeted from previous interviews. This can be incredibly misleading and tedious as I would never sit down and do an interview with most of the tabloidy magazines. I’ve been trying to clamp down on this more recently, and now, when I do a photo shoot, I get the magazine to sign a contract saying they won’t syndicate the photographs without my consent. I don’t do this because im a snob, it’s more because the more credible magazines are unlikely to take me seriously and work with me if it looks like I’ve been doing interviews with whoever will listen.
Now, last week, when I was in LA I got this email from Murray Chalmers, who does my press in the UK.
“This is exactly why I want everyone to use photo contracts! I don’t know who these at home pics were done for but they have been sold to OK which is a pain in the arse as it looks like we have done OK…”
There was then a link to OKâ��s website with the tagline “World Exclusive, At home with Lily Allen.” Needless to say I was mortified, in fact I was in tears, 6 photos of inside my home for everyone to see, and a made up interview that was very misleading. All this because I’d let the NYT photographer into my home. I was furious and got on the phone immediately.
I assumed we had one of these contracts in place, but the American PR agency assured me the NYT have an unwritten agreement with the PR’s and nothing like this has ever happened before, they were as upset and angry as I am.
In the end I got an apology from OK, but the NYT refuse to accept what they have done is morally wrong. Everybody assures me this is completely unheard of for the NYT to act in such a cheap and disgusting way.
I found this on an email trail, its an explanation from the NYT

I am sorry to say that we have no record or recollection of your client
or her representatives ever requesting any restriction on our
exploitation of the photographs. Indeed, it is not our general policy
to accede to such restrictions, so it is certainly not something we
would have agreed to without a written agreement confirming such
arrangement.

As the copyright owner of thousands of photographs, a significant part
of our business, like most news organizations, is the syndication of
photos to third parties. This is very standard in the news business and
I’m sorry that it comes as a surprise to your client. Under the
circumstances, we are unable to provide you with the assurances you have
requested.

I do hope, however, that our correspondence sheds some light on this
issue for your client’s future arrangements.

Uuuuurrggh, so patronizing, and gross. The world has become a dark place when The New York Times considers OK magazine to be “the news business”. Sorry if that made for tedious reading but, I think the NYT have behaved really badly and I wanted to vent. It’s one thing posing for a picture for TNYT and wholly another letting OK into your house, and I didn’t even get paid.

Lilly Allen Loves Anal Sex?

Lilly Allen has admitted she has had anal sex with her 'Chemical Brothers' boyfriend Ed Simons.

The pop star made the shocking revelation to her father after he questioned whether she had slept with the 37-year-old.

Lily, the daughter of actor Keith Allen, said: "I was with mum, dad, his wife and my sister. We were all sitting round and I said my nipples really hurt today."

"My dad's wife said maybe you're pregnant. I said no I'm not pregnant and my dad went: 'Are you telling me you and your boyfriend have had sex?' I said: 'Well yes but I didn’t think you could have sex by having it in the bum bum!'"

Wow, what a bizarre conversation to have (with your father no less). Does Lilly also like to discuss and exchange notes on her deep throat technique with him as well?

Allen Hopes Lohan Gos to Jail

Fat-mouthed Lily Allen is at it again. She's facing charges for punching out a photographer and she might be going to jail herself. She sat down with New York Magazine before her arrest in London and told them that she hopes Lohan goes to the slammer.

Lily said, "I could be paris Hilton soon enough. Oh, my God, her life is so fucking insane. She doesn't even do anything. I can't wait until Lindsay Lohan goes to jail. 'Boo hoo. I'm going to jail.' Good. Does that mean you'll stop showing me your pussy now?"

Lily also thinks that British jails might be worse than American jails. "I bet English jails are nastier than American ones!"
