Lily Allen And Chemical Brother Ed Simons Are Having A Baby

Lily Allen is pregnant with Chemical Brothers member Ed Simons' baby, and odds are the kid will be precocious as well as musical.

Hopefully Allen will cut back on her boozing during her pregnancy, which she found out about last month but only made public this week. And so much for that weight loss she was talking about recently.

"As the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage, the couple ask that you respect their privacy, as the health of Lily and their child is their paramount concern," said a spokesperson for the pair.

Allen, 22, and Simons, 37, are said to be "thrilled" by the news. They started dating in September and apparently plan to move in together.

"It's the icing on the cake for what has been an incredible 18 months for her," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "She is looking forward to finishing her new album early next year and releasing it before the birth of her first child."

Britain's BBC3 has signed the perky singer to host a television show called Lily Allen And Friends, and she'll also appear with comedian Russell Brand in a filmed spoof of Jane Austen's classic novel, Pride And Prejudice.

Britney Spears' 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant and has a TV show, too. One sentence is enough coverage for her.
