Cheryl not ready to 'kiss and make up' with Lily Allen

Posted December 22, 200915 yr

One person Cheryl Cole will not be bringing good tidings to this Christmas is her famous foe Lily Allen.

Rather than forgive and forget their run of public spats over the years, Cheryl has reopened their bitter feud in a no holds barred interview in which she made her feelings about the Smile singer very clear.

The 26-year-old Girls Aloud star appears in the February edition of Q magazine in a hard-edge gothic-inspired cover shoot.
With dark eye make-up, red wine lips, drenched hair and with a spiked metal ring, the X Factor judge shows she is a force to be reckoned with.

In the interview, the star said she was unrepentant about branding Lily a 'chick with a d***' back in 2007.
Cheryl made the comments on Gordon Ramsay's F Word show after Lily had publicly branded her husband Ashley Cole 'horrendous' and her bandmate Nicola Roberts 'the ugly one'.

Speaking to Q magazine, she recalled: 'She called my husband "horrendous".
'Then she called Nicola "ugly". For another female artist to call you ugly is so awful.
'Nicola’s been called "ginger" all her life, then she makes something of herself and everyone calls her the "ugly one".
'I feel very protective of her and if that means I’m going to call Lily "whatever", then I don’t care.'

Cheryl also revealed that she initially thought Lily was being 'complimentary' in her 2006 B-Side track Cheryl Tweedy (Tweedy being Cheryl's maiden name).
The lyrics included the chorus: 'I wish my life was a little less seedy / Why am I always so greedy? / Wish I looked just like Cheryl Tweedy.'
But Lily later commented: 'I was being ironic. Nobody wants to look like that.'

Cheryl also told the magazine about her doubts over the band's 2004 hit Love Machine.
She added: 'I remember listening to Love Machine and thinking, "We cannot put this crap out," that’s what I said to the label: it sounds like something Busted would do.
'Then it went to Number 2. I was, like, Oh right. OK. I’ll keep quiet.'

Speaking about her own solo debut, many [reviewers]have detected a wronged woman tone in the lyrics to songs such as Make Me Cry.

'Well I suppose you're drawn to a song because you connect with it in some way.
'Even the ones I haven't written on. But nothing was written in context,' she says.

Today her superstar status is such that Cowell has granted her a 100 per cent pay rise between X Factor series. 'Can't complain about that', she confirms.

Gordon Brown and David Cameron have fallen over themselves to signal their endorsement.
The former with a Downing Street photo opportunity last year, the latter proclaiming Cole the most fanciable one in Girls Aloud.

But she doesn't seem to be a fan of Cameron? 'Brrrr! she grimaces. Slippery, isn't he?
'We've always been Labour in our family, it just feels wrong not to be. Better the devil you know.'
