Lily Allen warned to stop insulting other stars

 

 

Lily Allen has been warned by her managers to stop insulting other stars or she will lose fans.

 

The 21-year-old 'Smile' singer has publicly insulted Victoria Beckham, Robbie Williams, Coldplay star Chris Martin and Paris Hilton among others, but refuses to tone down her attitude.

 

She said: "When people around me get scared, saying I'm gonna lose all this if I slag off one more person, I'm like, 'Oh f**k off, it doesn't really matter!' Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy to be where I am right now and have the success that I have, but I really don't think this is my place in life. There's so much more I want to do."

Lily Allen to Play Inaugural Concert at Newly Re-Named Fillmore NYC at Irving Plaza

 

When doors open to Lily Allen's highly-anticipated New York City concert on April 11th, fans will notice a difference. Upon entering the venue, there will be fresh apples for hungry live music aficionados and a greeter to let them know about upcoming shows. The walls will be painted a deep red hue and the refurbished chandeliers will shine light on vintage posters, pictures and newspaper articles recounting legendary live music performances. After the show, a collectible poster commemorating the evening will be distributed to concert goers, a tradition that will continue for select shows throughout the year.

 

To devotees of the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco, one of contemporary music's most respected and enduring live concert venues, these traditions will seem familiar. So while it's no easy task to improve upon Irving Plaza, New York music fans will undoubtedly appreciate the new traditions and aesthetic that will infuse the reconfigured club, which upon Lily Allen's christening concert, will be known as The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza.

 

"The Fillmore is a highly regarded music venue whose impact on music resonates far beyond the walls of the actual building itself," says Bruce Eskowitz Live Nation's Chief Executive Officer of North American Music. "By adapting some of the Fillmore traditions to one of the crown jewels in our venue portfolio, Irving Plaza, we hope to make the concert going experience even better for New York music fans."

 

Along with the change in décor, the club has improved sightlines in its upstairs balcony area with additional improvements to come. Flat screen televisions are being placed in key locations throughout the club. Bathroom facility renovations are scheduled for this summer, as are upgraded sound and lighting systems. Behind the scenes, artist dressing rooms have been overhauled and upgraded.

 

With the launch of The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza and The Fillmore Philadelphia, which is planned for late April, Live Nation hopes to establish a live music brand to complement its 11 House of Blues clubs across the country. Along with the Fillmore San Francisco, Denver's Fillmore Auditorium is one of the company's most successful mid-size venues.

 

It's fitting that the ultra-hot Lily Allen will open the improved club. The Fillmore, both in its San Francisco location and in its three and a half year incarnation as The Fillmore East (1968-1971) in lower Manhattan, has a rich history of importing cutting edge new artists from England. Led Zeppellin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and many other UK artists played either the Fillmore in San Francisco or the Fillmore East in the beginning of their careers. Of course the storied venues were host to seminal American music artists as well, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Santana and The Allman Brothers to name a few.

 

But what makes the 40 year-old Fillmore Auditorium such an enduring live music brand is the fact that it has also played a role in the career of such important artists as The Ramones, X, Prince, Tom Petty, Coldplay, The Strokes and The White Stripes, to name a few, and continues to identify cutting edge talent on their way up through the touring ranks.

 

Irving Plaza has an esteemed history itself as one of New York City's premiere music venues. Converted into a musical venue after years as a Polish dance hall, it has hosted such superstar artists as U2, Dave Matthews Band, Eric Clapton, Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and continues to be a major stepping stone on the career path of hundreds of artists every year, including such important new bands as My Morning Jacket and The Arcade Fire.

 

"The bottom line is that The Fillmore means something to artists and to fans," said original Fillmore East house manager and longtime Bill Graham associate Jerry Pompili. "It was more than just a building. It was a new concept in the presentation of Rock n' Roll. There is no better venue in New York City to carry on the traditions we started 40 years ago than Irving Plaza. It's a beautiful thing."

 

The opening evening at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza will kick off at 8:00 p.m., featuring DJ Aaron LaCrate and the Los Angeles-based duo The Bird and the Bee followed by Lily Allen.

Lily Allen is sexier and slimmer but she still can't resist a dig at Mrs Beckham

 

By DANIEL COCHLIN - More by this author » Last updated at 21:32pm on 3rd November 2007 Comments

The list of celebrities to have felt her wrath is almost endless.

 

From Bob Geldof to Paris Hilton, Kylie Minogue to Amy Winehouse, pop star Lily Allen has had an opinion on them all – and usually not a favourable one.

The bad girl has now cleaned up her act and claims she no longer needs to bitch.

But in an interview with The Mail on Sunday's You magazine, she could not resist one more dig at Victoria Beckham.

Lily, 22, who shot to fame when her single Smile went to No1 last summer, criticised Posh Spice's obsession with fame.

And as she revealed a glamorous new look of her own, Lily accused Victoria of revelling in being famous for no reason.

As Lily reveals her glamorous new look, she criticises Victoria Beckham for being famous for no reason

 

Lily, whose father is actor Keith Allen, said: "It does make me laugh to see pictures of Victoria Beckham on the front of a magazine.

"I think, 'You are not promoting anything, you don't need the money, so all it's about is being famous.'

"And I can never imagine my life being about being famous. I make music, that's what I am here for. I would never go out and court publicity. I am in such a good place, it wouldn't occur to me."

Lily has ditched her summer dresses and trainers for a more sophisticated style

 

Lily has ditched her summer dresses and trainers for a more sophisticated style and her outlook has changed – so that she feels sorry for celebrities she used to lambast.

She said: "As I am happier, I can't bring myself to bitch. I find myself jumping to people's defence. I saw Paris Hilton on the David Letterman show and I was like, 'Why is he so horrible to her?'

Lily even called a truce in her long-running feuds with Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole and Peaches Geldof. She said: "I can't think what 'Cherylgate' was about – what a waste of time.

Lily looking demure and pretty. She claims she has now cleaned up her act

 

Cheryl Cole? Who is she? Just someone from a manufactured band, whereas I write and perform my own music.

"Things are fine between me and Peaches now too: I feel sorry for her, she is a poor little rich girl."

 

But Lily is worried about the example set by Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan.

In feistier times: Lily loses her cool and kicks out at a photographer

 

She said: "I don't understand it. Why would you want to look up to them? What happened to mothers, sisters and aunts as role models?"

 

 

 

Lily, who split with her boyfriend of two-and-a-half years, Seb Chew, in August, is rumoured to be seeing Ed Simons. The Chemical Brothers star is 15 years her senior.

But she was coy about putting her newfound happiness down to love, saying: "That's not what makes me happy – you never base your happiness on another person.

" Yes, maybe sometimes it helps with your confidence. But it hasn't been long. The happiness started before that."

One thing Lily is happy to talk about is the love for family – her actor brother Alfie, 21, who recently starred in Atonement, mother Alison, a film producer, and her father.

She added: "I always longed to be in a family like the Waltons, but we are more like the Redgraves."

She's pretty. And yeah I agree, I've always thought the beginning of Littlest Things was very very similar to the beginning of Karma Police (except obviously not as good). She's said before that she likes them and is influenced by them though...

She wears damn pretty dresses! :surprised::wacko:

 

And yeah, I don't mind her music to be honest. It's catchy.

I love her dresses too. :D

 

And yeah, her music is pretty fun to listen to.

i just had heard her single... the one with a guy... don't know the name, Smile may be :thinking:

 

right now listening to LDN.. kekita, well she sounds a bit Blondie, just the Blondie song style that i don't like lol. :P

 

and yes her music is catchy. :D

The one with the guy talking to the girls in the middle of the song is Knock 'Em Out...

I think it's mainly girls who like her music, lol. That's just an observation anyway.

^agreed. I definitely can't see a guy liking her music...

...and ykw. :lol:

 

 

Okay...ykw jokes stop....now.

not not the one i mean is Smile...

(video interview ^)

 

 

word mag interview

 

Here is the news. Lily Allen is not only blindingly attractive but she's extremely funny, quite posh, likes smoking fags, laughs like a madwoman and rarely drinks anything more intoxicating than Coca-Cola. If I were 15 years younger, wealthier, two stone lighter and significantly more alluring than I actually am, I still wouldn't have a chance – and I find that strangely comforting.

 

We meet at the Ivy Club, the private members wing of the celeb-eatery mainstay. The premises are accessed through a magnificently over-the-top florists, right at the top of a long series of illuminated glass steps. If you wanted to make a film about decadent '70s glamour, then you'd be right at home. Lily meets me by the lift – she is a member and enjoys it here very much as the people in charge are very careful about who they invite to join and, crucially, "the fashion pack cocaine addicts haven't discovered it yet".

 

Lily Allen is 24 years old, and sometimes she really seems it. Some of her insights are still backlit by the first giddy flush of adulthood (religion – confusing and silly; war – bad; drugs – sometimes bad, sometimes not), that time where no one really challenges what you say because they're either your peers and they think exactly the same way, or they're not your peers and they don't want to disabuse you of the last tattered vestiges of your innocence. At other times, you get swept away by the impression that this person has seen and done and tasted and experienced an unimaginable amount more than most other people in their early twenties. Like many 24-year-olds, Allen has indulged in illegal substances, had a couple of dodgy relationships and worked in a record shop. Unlike most other 24-year-olds, she also enjoys a globally successful pop career, is Grammy nominated, DJs for "shitloads" of money at the sort of parties the rest of us only ever read about on the bus, and once recorded a folk album with an ex-member of Joe Strummer's last band. She became famous for all the right reasons and a few of the wrong ones, but the reason she's still here is because she's really good at it. A fact compounded by her new album, It's Not Me, It's You, which is genuinely wonderful. "I get slagged off for going to premieres and showbiz parties," she says, "but my mum's a film producer and my dad's an actor! Those parties are where my family are. It would be more weird if I didn't go, wouldn't it? I know I've been dealt very strange cards. But this is me. This is what I was born into."

 

My two favourite Lily Allen stories from the last 24 hours are the following: you were working with Damon Albarn and you accidentally flashed him. The other one is that you're organising a sports day to beat knife crime. Is it hard existing between the two absurdities of those stories?

I have no idea how I can be those two people. With the flashing, I was working with Damon in the studio but we didn't come up with anything. I was leaving and it was a bit embarrassing. He was saying he would burn off what we'd done and I was saying I'd work on this and that, but really we both just wanted it to be over. I was wearing this pink vintage shirt that only had three buttons on and when I stood up they all went at the same time. It was the angle I was sitting at, I'm sure. I've not worn it since. As for the sports day, Boris [Johnson] wants me to be an ambassador for youth opportunity. It's not really a sports day; it's more a day where, instead of gaining the respect of your peers by stabbing people, you gain it by...

 

Being good at the egg-and-spoon race?

No! By winning things – being the best at something. (Pause) It's not going to

solve the problem overnight.

 

Him on your new album deals with God. Have you found the Lord?

No. I'm confused by religion. I was brought up in a Catholic school and they told me gays were bad, adultery was bad and drugs were bad. At the same time, all my mum's friends were gay, my dad was having various affairs and there were drugs in the house when I was a kid – so it was a bit cruel. Why is Songs Of Praise always Christian? Where's the Hindu Songs Of Praise? The Islamic Songs Of Praise? We all pay our TV licence! I don't like Christianity much.

 

Where would you rank it in the world's leading religions?

Well, Hinduism is cool. I'll put them up near the top. But it's too dangerous for me to rank them. I'll get into serious trouble.

 

Have you made it up with Elton after the GQ awards?

We never fell out – that was such bullshit. We're friends! I told him to fuck off, but I tell everyone to fuck off all day long. He manages me, pretty much. Todd, my manager, works for his company, so it would be quite awkward if we fell out. I'd hate to fall out with him and still have to give him fifteen per cent of everything I earn.

 

Do you worry about the future of the music industry?

I do! I was having dinner with Mick Jagger the other night and I said to him, "I fucking hate people like you!"

 

Snappy opener.

No, we were talking about the music industry and I told him it really irritates me that I'll never make anything like the amount of money they have and he said, "Well, when we started out there was no money either; then, in the '70s and '80s, there was this huge boom. But it's gone down again now."' But I often think, "I'm really famous and I sell a lot of records, why aren't I a multi-millionaire?" Don't sign a record deal – that's my advice. Do it yourself. And definitely don't sign a three-sixty deal! Actually, I want to start a management company called Seven-Twenty...

 

In The Fear you suggest that "everyone's at it" – ie, killer drugs – from "older politicians" to "young adolescents". At first it sounds bad, then you think, "Well, at least we know that older adolescents aren't at it too."

Oh well done! It just made the line scan, OK? The point is there's a lot of hypocrisy attached to drug culture – especially from the journalists who write about it as they're all drug addicts and alcoholics. The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you. You will become a prostitute or a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true. I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem at all. But we never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn't sensationalise this thing that just exists. Some people are bad at taking drugs. But some people are bad at driving and kill themselves and others that way. I don't take drugs. I used to. But I get very anxious around people who are on drugs, because it reminds me of being a kid. I can spot the signs of people being a bit gakked up very quickly. It terrifies me. That's why I took cocaine when I didn't even like it. I felt like a lonely child when everyone else was doing it and I wasn't.

 

What should people watch out for if they fear someone they know is getting "gakked up"?

Sniffing. A lot of smoking. Talking about themselves a lot in a loud voice. That's the one I used to suffer from a lot. But this record is not a manifesto. I just want people to listen to it. I want them to think, "Oh, she's not as shit as people think she is." I was going to call the album, Brillyallent. But I thought I was leaving myself open to too much criticism – "Not Brillyallent".

 

How are you getting with on your label's new owners, Terra Firma?

I read that about Damon's champagne! [Albarn poured scorn on EMI's new owners in Word 71; their sole contact with him had been to send a crate of booze.] I never even got the champagne. The only thing I get is emails saying, "Where's your fucking album? We gave you £150,000 last year. Where is it?" I read a piece with Miles – my record company boss – in Music Week the other day, talking about me as his thing for "Quarter Four". It made me feel disgusting, like some cheap product. It's really sad for EMI. I hate Terra Firma. They're wankers and they don't know what they're doing. They will fail. They don't know how to run a creative business. They are killing us, frankly.

 

Have you noticed a change?

Yeah. I got £50,000 for my first album and I sold a lot of records. I worked really hard and was put up in nice hotels and treated well and went on to sell two-and-a-half million albums for EMI. So I expected the next time round for things to get better. But they got worse. I get emails asking if I could go to go to Paris for a week to work with some hot producer. I ask for a hotel and I get a two-star place in the eighth arrondissement on my own. I'm like, "Do you want me to get raped and killed?" Maybe that is what they want? Terror Murder! The annoying thing is, I know that twenty years ago I'd have been booked in at the Ritz with five grammes of cocaine on my table and ten bunches of flowers. Some new clothes. A chauffeur on twenty-four-hour call. Now I'm lucky to get an Oyster card. I'm not snobby, but if I have to go away for work, why can't it be nice for me when it's making you money? I make no money from selling records – obviously – but they're still arsey about hair and makeup! They don't understand anything. They have all these annoying people running the company who have no idea what it's all about. I look at Universal and see they're doing it well. So that's what I think of them. It's an uphill battle. I wish I could get dropped. But it won't happen. But it's not EMI that are the arseholes – it's Terra Firma. The people who work with me from EMI are brilliant.

 

What's your message to the world?

Stop killing each other. (Pause) And come to my sports day!

Oh dear,, she is so arrogant

lily allen? really? :dozey:

 

My brother (oddly enough a huge nirvana fan) once made me tolerate numerous repeats of her album on a lengthy road-trip...

first: couldn't this thread title be clearer?

 

second: have you checked if there is a thread about her?

and already there is one, here.

personally i think Lily Allen is awesome............for a pop star. i'm not going to compare her to rock bands or any other genre but pure pop. i think Alright Still is easily the best pop ska what ever u want to call it, album of the decade. not only is it original and unique but the music has a sense of dance-ability and soul. and so far every track i've heard of her upcoming album sounds great also especially Guess Who Batman. honestly i dont give a damn about what she does in her own time as long as keeps making great music i'll continue to like her. most of my favourite artists/bands have lived a life of drugs, sex and alcohol and that hasn't meant that i enjoy their music any less because of it. so lily in my eyes isnt any different.

I quite like her. She's adorably cute.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS and stop bitchin please

Any reason to reply to Ari's post twice Dejan?

in my opinion lily allen is one of the few genuine popstars left in the music industry. i'm sick of all the skanky american bullshit pop with talentless sticks dancing around in lingerie and calling it art. i highly recommend everyone check out Lily's latest video clip for The Fear, she looks stunning in it!!
