Lily Allen is just cute as a button [guv'na]!!!

DHMBIB <3's Lily Allen!!! Lily was anointed the indie-music-bloggosphere's biggest crush last year, and now she's crashing our shores.

Just cuz, I'm devoting a "This week In..." entry to her.

* BREAKING: Lily Allen Doesn't Care About Corrine-Bailey-Rae-Named People, Lady-Sov-Named People:

[Ironically, as I blog this, I'm watching Ellen DeGeneres dance around her set to Kanye West. How meta.]

12 February 2007:

Lily Allen: "Corinne Bailey Rae? I think she's a bit boring, sorry. She's a lovely girl but I don't think her music stands out and I'd be a bit annoyed if she won Best Female Artist [at the Brit Awards, the British Grammys]."

22 February 2007:

Lady Sov: "I'm not hating on her but someone like Lily Allen, just 'cause her dad's famous, doesn't have to work as hard as someone like me. You get some of the media hating people 'cause they're 'chavish' but she's the biggest chav going." [In the same interview, Lady Sov also called CBR "boring" -- Ed.]

22 February 2007:

Lily Allen: "Dear Lady Sovereign: In response to Miss sovereigns comments, I've spoken to my Dad and he says he'd be happy to adopt you if you think it will give you a leg up." [sic]

[Ooh, snap!!! -- Ed.]

* BREAKING: Lily Allen Doesn't Care About iTMS Bully People:

"...iTunes [is] kind of bullying people into corners by making sure they have extra, you know, extra songs so they can put them on the front page. And they won't [advertise] your album unless you kind of give them extra material and so on. And we've kind of been backed into a corner. We want to do this remix, but the remix isn't ready, but they need it delivered by today and blah blah blah. So I said, 'Okay, fine, give iTunes the rubbish remix, and then what I'll do I'll get the people remixing it to do a good remix and then we'll give it away for free on MySpace."

* BREAKING: NBC Uni Doesn't Care About "You"-Lily-Allen-Loving People:

Lily Allen was the musical guest on the 3 February 2007 show of Saturday Night Live. Lily's performances made it up to YouTube -- where, of course, they no longer are, because NBC Uni C&D'd YouTube. And, of course, guess which other site they're not on -- that's right, kids: NBC.

[NBC's SNL site lists the 3 Feb 2007 episode as the "next" episode. Douchebags.]

But a trailer is still on YouTube:
