The Streets Annoyed With Allen

Mike Skinner is tired of reading Lily Allen's MySpace blog because he says she complains too much.

The man who records as The Streets recently told Britain's The Sun tabloid that he thinks Allen secretly feeds off both the positive and negative attention that she gets from the press.

"Whenever you read Lily Allen's blog, she's moaning about some paparazzi bollocks," Skinner said. "It makes me think, 'Just stop giving them such good stories to write about and it'll go away.'

"For God's sake, people — don't you get it? She wants all of the photographers following her round. She needs it."

All this makes us wonder why Skinner keeps reading her blog if it bothers him so much...

Earlier this year, Allen ranted on her MySpace blog about press reaction to her on stage spat with Elton John at September's GQ Awards. Allen was drunk, and when John called her out on it while the two were presenting an award, the pint-sized pop star told him to "Fuck off," telling him she had "my whole life ahead of me."

John and Allen had been friends, and John was going to ask Allen to record with him. But after the incident, he said he would not be asking for her help in the studio.

"All these showbiz journalists are just bullies when it comes down to it," Allen later wrote in a MySpace blog entry. "I have felt really very bullied this week. I realise that when i first started this job I slagged a few people off when I probably shouldn't have and I have been opinionated about some things, but i haven't said a bad word about anyone for a long time, even when I have wanted to, even when people have tried to start feuds and said horrible things about me when they'd never even met me, when they'd based an opinion on me because of something they'd read.

"It's hurtful, but it's fine if you want to print a picture of me and say how awful I look, how much weight i've put on or how terrible my choice of clothes were that day. In my opinion it's still a form of bullying and if anyone spoke to any of my friends like that to their faces i'd want to kill them. But character assasination is another thing it's just not needed."
