Don’t you just hate it when that happens? Lily Allen seemed perfectly content with keeping her 2-month-old baby girl’s name under wraps, until her her mum blew it. Lily followed up her “Totes Amaze” tweet after giving birth late November with another message early December writing, “Thank you for all the flowers and lovely messages everybody. very touching indeed. nuff luv x x.” But tweets after that have given no indication of her daughter’s name. Until Lily’s mother, Alison Owen, slipped up on Facebook by messaging it to a friend. Ready for it? It’s properly old school and very charming. Lily’s baby girl’s name is … *drumroll* … Ethel Mary. What do you think? In the age of completely left-field baby names, we think this is refreshing.
Congratulations, Lily Allen! She gave birth to a baby girl right as the weekend rolled in and even tweeted a succinct update that read, “Totes amaze.” We don’t have any more details as yet but will post updates as soon as they’re released — like what baby girl’s name is. This has been such a good year for Lily. She married Sam Cooper earlier in July and sprung a total surprise on wedding guests by announcing that she was pregnant. We really are happy for the singer, especially considering that she’s suffered two miscarriages in the past. The second was last year in 2010, with Sam’s baby and the first was in 2008 with then-boyfriend, Ed Simons of the Chemical Brothers. That’s all in the past now, and we’re hoping Lily’s resting surrounded by her new family.
A couple years ago, Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse had more in common than just amazing pipes; they also both hit the nightlife. Hard. “I’ve had nights out with Amy and know exactly what used to go on. It’s so easy to get caught up in that madness,” Allen told British magazine Evening Standard this week, discussing Amy Winehouse’s death less than two months after the singer’s passing. “I could totally see why she didn’t want to leave her house. It seemed more appealing to stay in and take heroin. Why would anyone want that chaos in their life? It’s not something anyone chooses.” Personally, we maaaaaybe wouldn’t have tried to rationalize heroin use while talking about a friend’s death, but hey, it wouldn’t be a Lily Allen interview without some cringing. It’s like we’re in 2008 all over again.
While the singer’s family alleges that Amy Winehouse’s toxicology report indicated that there were no illegal drugs in her system when she passed on, Lily Allen seems certain she too could have fallen victim to a self-destructive lifestyle. “Actually, when Amy died, I got several texts from friends saying they were really glad I was still here. That I hadn’t died, too. It’s so easy to get caught up in that madness and I count my lucky stars I’ve been strong enough to walk away.” Not strong enough not to somehow make the conversation about herself, but certain on the way there.
A lovely Lily Allen married boyfriend Sam Cooper in a little church in Cranham, near Gloucester, England, just day before yesterday, on Saturday. The gown had a beautifully vintage feel to it with it’s Calais lace overlay, long sleeves, 1920′s veil and a three foot train. It was created by a French designer called Delphine Manivetwho said, “Lily is a girl who is quite rock and roll, but her wedding she wanted to be traditional.”
It gets even better for the 26-year-old singer, because it turns out that Lily is pregnant as well, news which they delivered to wedding guests! Lily suffered a devastating miscarriage last year, and one before that in 2008 while dating Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers, so this must be especially healing for her. We wish the new couple and parents-to-be much joy! Congratulations! More pictures from the wedding below.
Tragic news to report today: twenty-five-year old singer, Lily Allen, who was six months pregnant, has lost her baby. The pop star was admitted to the hospital Thursday morning complaining of stomach pains and while in the hospital, she miscarried. A spokesperson for Allen and her boyfriend, Sam Cooper, stated, “It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby. The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made.”
This is the second time Allen has miscarried; the first was in 2008 when she was expecting with boyfriend Ed Simmons. Our hearts go out to the star.
Last month, at the Wireless Festival in London, a very different Lily Allen revealed herself onstage. We’re normally used to seeing her smoking like a chimney, or going to job interviews smashed. So a very sober, non-smoking Lily was quite a treat. The reason for the about turn was that she wanted to focus on having kids, and settling down with her boyfriend Sam Cooper telling concert goers, “I appreciate that you were jumping up and down because this is probably my last gig in London for some time.”
She also dedicated her tune Who’d Have Known to him saying, “… This one’s for u baby!” It turned out to be quite a prophetic statement because the singer has revealed that she’s pregnant! Ask and thou shalt receive, eh? Congratulations! This is especially good news for Lily because she pregnant once before with then boyfriend Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers, but sadly miscarried after 18 weeks.
Courtney Love‘s on quite a streak isn’t she? Twitter’s normally her choice of weapon to tell off ,well, anyone. Off the top of our heads she’s had beef with (drumroll):
1. Courntey Love on Frances Bean: “i dont care really i hate to spund cold but any kid of mine who pulls this s— has lost her position and friends in nyc they will pretend to like her, but ill go teach at bard before she gets in,she was deceptive she lied and shes lying to herself, she sits on her facebook adding yet more books and films and frankly the whole thing disgusts my daihgter is not always honest…” Forget the typo’s… this her daughter she’s talking about. No wonder she went running.
2. Courtney Love on Taylor Momsen: “@taylorxmomson shut the F*CK up you overpriveliged bratty bitch that picked one every freak in high school mention my name again? BAM” Ouch. (Although, she’s spot on with the ‘bratty’. I mean, have you read this girl’s interviews?)
3. Courtney Love on Lily Allen: “…But then again i dont pick fights with insanely deluded irrevelant friendless unatractive children who noone i know even close to likes.” Oh, this one got nasty. Love even posted old and not-too-purty photo’s of Allen.
4. Courtney Love on Billy Corgan: “You remind me of Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane in your spite and jealousy and you just want press. Pathetic…He coughs up this spiritual s— like bile and lives none of it, i really think its truly creepy how jealous and obsessed w FBC he is GROSS.” Corgan, by the way, was pissed because she used songs they collaborated on for her album. We couldn’t stop laughing at the Bette Davis reference. Love digs deep, dude!
5. Courtney Love on Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Love shot her mouth off saying she and Rossdale were doing-it-in secret for months while he was with Gwen Stefani. They don’t seem to care. But knowing Love, she’s not done talking!
And NOW, the latest recipient of the words of Love is a certain Fred Durst(remember him!) Hole jumped on stage at Edgefest in Dallas, and Love decided to pick on the Limp Bizkit fronter. As far as she’s concerned, he’s responsible for ”the worst years in rock history.” Harsh! Some random guy in the audience wearing a baseball hat reminded her of Durst so she started hating on him, too. Because all dudes wearing hats are the same person, right?
She rambled, ”I see a guy with a backwards baseball cap. Dude, you! You scare me! You make me feel like you’re going to rape me or something, and all my children! You did it for the nookie, dude in the red baseball hat! Do you know one word to one (Hole) song? That is so lame. I’m so sorry, you’re here for the nookie! I could beat your ass.”
Kinda ironic about the nookie bit, considering Love’s own score card. Courtney. Seriously. Stop. Now. Or at least start using spell check?
We’ve been hearing for a long time now that Lily Allen will be quitting music (for now!) for a career in fashion. And now it sounds like she’s taking her fashion career one step further by filming a fashion-based reality series.
oh @lilyroseallen tweeted that pic? thats just baby brat nonsense we are NOT having a” FUED” WOULDNT DEIGN TO post a pic of her thighs…but im not the one on gak every night dear, you are, and im not the one who uses the word “relevant” to reassure meselfALWAYS…your really a brat, is there anyone who you havent started a meaningless strop with? the night you did all the blow on earth…the night you home invaded me did all the blow ive ever seen in my home wouldnt leave and blamed ME for yr s— show?thighs?…But then again i dont pick fights with insanely deluded irrevelant friendless unatractive children who noone i know even close to likes.
Love then posted several unflattering pics of Allen circa 2008 (Love digs deep!), retweeted some supporters, called the 24-year-old singer a “feral woofy dog,” and said Allen doesn’t have an exclusive deal with Chanel—Love’s earlier accusation that kicked off this mess—because she’s “too plump” (that’s right, two critically hailed artists are having fight online over which one is ugly and which one is fat). Allen has yet to respond to Love’s unending-as-of-our-posting stream of bile (“whata sad baby, retire already so you can stop picking fights with everyone for no reason, ps tip, nme awards not venue to dress filmstar”) but we’re sure it’s only a matter of time.
Suggesting rock may well be dead, the red carpet at last night’s NME Awards was filled with zombified corpses, trudging past the cameras in the clothes they were buried in. While comedian Noel Fielding put the most effort into his ghoulish appearance (we always wondered what the vampire son of Keith Moon and Groucho Marx would look like), the award for Zombie Prom queen still has to go to Courtney Love, whose Twitter is putting Tila Tequila‘s to shame thanks to incoherent missives to fellow NME attendees Ke$ha, Lily Allen and Slash, alleged friend Katy Perry(run, girl!), and a long rumination about “hatef—ing” John Mayer. Hope you like your sexting sloppy!
do you ever feel like spite hate f—ing @johncmayer just to put hi in his place, hes a better guitarist than me but not better in bed !/but like say your f—ing @johncmayer totally throwing him around the room in bits and then you just BAM punch him in the face? good times/ oh dudes Mayers a little bland for me and youngish ill do young, but hes neither Yale Harvard Oxford and hes not really rock, so not for me/ hate f—ing is an art like “the pit” meaning you rape each other and then beat the s— our of each other so u can feel s—/ gentle “lovemaking” isnt really great for a grat tuetonic queen who likes to dominate and everyonece in a blue moon allows some dominance
Mayer has so far shown impressive restraint, only sharing classy black-and-white photos and brief variations on “great show, (town I just played!)” with his online followers. But you ignoring this must be a struggle.
See what Ke$ha, Allen, Agyness Deyn and others wore to the NME’s zombie jamboree in the gallery below.
We’ve been hearing for a long time now that
