Posted May 24, 200817 yr Lily Allen: 'Paparazzi are like BNP' Saturday, May 24 2008, 08:54 BST Digitalspy.com By Alex Fletcher, Entertainment Reporter Lily Allen has hit out at the paparazzi, claiming that several photographers wouldn't be "out of place at a BNP meeting". The singer made the comments in a blog on her MySpace page, where she denied rumours that she was thrown off a yacht in Cannes. She also played down speculation that she is attempting to rekindle her romance with Chemical Brothers DJ Ed Simons. "I don't really like to respond to things I read about myself in the press, but for the record I was not thrown off anybody's yacht in Cannes," said Allen. "Occasionally I drink wine with lunch and yes I swim topless, this in my book is not embarrassing behaviour. "I'm 23 years old it's not my fault if photographers follow me everywhere and need a story to print with their pointless pictures." Commenting on paparazzi intrusion, she said: "There is nothing professional about them, most of them look like they wouldn't be out of place at a BNP meeting." Speaking about her relationship with Simons, Allen added: "I went for lunch with my ex-boyfriend yesterday. I am not some failed baby making machine desperately to trying to win my man back. "Sometimes I think these journalists are still living in the 50's. No one knows anything about my relationships. Ed and I are friends, who went for lunch yesterday, that's it. "It's all so sexist, I wonder how many of these male journos had bought themselves a house by the time they were 23." Do you think that the paparazzi are like the BNP, or do you think Lily Allen is an annoying gobby attention seeking Amy Winehouse without the talent to match?
May 24, 200817 yr To be honest, she has no one to blame but herself.. She played the whole "attention-seeking" bit right from the get-go, so I have zero sympathy for her.. Live by seeking publicity, die by it.... Frankly, I wish she'd just fukk off back under the rock she came from.... Plenty of female artists I DO have respect for (Kate Bush, Beth Gibbons, Alison Goldfrapp, P J Harvey to name a few...) dont feel the need to act like her, they let the music do the talking....
May 26, 200817 yr I like Lily Allen and her debut album is fantastic with every track being great. Nothing she can do about the press really. Wish she's hurry up with her new album.
May 26, 200817 yr What an odd comparison, the only possible link between the paparazzi and the BNP is that they are comprised of arseholes. To an extent I agree with GRIMLY. She has always been VERY quick to pass judgement on her fellow celebrities, but as soon as the attention is switched onto her, it's hissy fit time. On the other hand, the paparazzi is a VILE institution, and thoroughly deserve a good telling-off.
May 27, 200817 yr On the other hand, the paparazzi is a VILE institution, and thoroughly deserve a good telling-off. Oh, dont get me wrong, I despise the Paps, lowest form of life really.. But at the end of the day, Lily Allen made a rod for her own back, she puts herself out there with the stupid things she says on her Myspace, she sought out the attention when it suited her; she has to live with the consequences.... She's a pretty mediocre talent, definitely punching way above her weight, she's a featherweight taking on heavyweights..... Stupid girl.....
May 27, 200817 yr Why isn't she in the studio recording a new album instead of living off the first one. I mean...living off her family name.
June 2, 200817 yr The paps are a bit cunty tbh, after all they did smash her car window. and she does have talent thank you very much. I like Lily Allen and her debut album is fantastic with every track being great. Nothing she can do about the press really. Wish she's hurry up with her new album. you should visit her forum ;) Why isn't she in the studio recording a new album instead of living off the first one. I mean...living off her family name. she is actually. it's almost finished
June 4, 200817 yr I agree with Grimly - she loves chatting around about everyone else, but when people say something about her they're 'looosers' and she hasn't got time for it. Pot, Kettle... No-one made you release and album and do a chat show, love. Get over it.
June 4, 200817 yr Although I despise the press in this country as Lily has blatantly used them in the past to further her career she can't epect them to ignore things that aren't to her liking. Live by the sword & die by it & all that!
