This week's chart is dedicated to Lily Allen for her hilariously funny but arrogantly clueless interview that she did with The Word magazine calling the head of Terra Firma "See You Next Tuesday" (next time at work you try doing that to your boss and see where it gets you); moaning about the calibre of hotels she's been booked in (so much for her chav like street image of her debut album when she is posher than David Cameron); advocating that taking Cocaine is not a bad thing "about as addictive as eating peanuts" (which she has had to post a grovelling apology to since) and lamenting why EMI can't provide her with that at Parisian hotels like they used to for their top acts 25 years ago (someone's been reading ex Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor's autobiography then); admitting she finds making music "boring" (well go and f*** off and do something else like your first love like acting then....); saying the people who go to work 9-5 day in day out are "mugs" (some of us don't come from a very wealthy background where our parents can afford to pay £26,000 a year to stay at one of the top 5 most expensive schools in the UK, but we must be to buy your Ian Dury's mockney god-daughter (yes I know Joe Strummer was her god father and he had a very upper class background as well) talk/singing all over reheated Specials-esque backing tracks); moaning about being "treated like a product" (you are in the record industry); .... but I could just about handle all of that but to compare yourself with Kate Bush .....

 

(Conclusion: Lily = either insanely delusional or is really taking the p!$$ per the entire interview in her attempt to become the female Robbie Williams. Personally I think she is just this generation's (rent a gob of bull$h!t) Wendy James (Transvision Vamp)).

 

Still hilariously she did not even get the front cover in the Music Magazine of the Year (for the second year running). They gave it to Kate Bush instead!!!!
