Lily Allen was charged $2,000 after she trashed her dressing room at Toronto's Sound Academy following her Wednesday night show.

"Had a massive ice cream fight dressing room based, cost me $2000," Allen wrote on her Twitter early Thursday morning. "End of tour, time to get mashed. Props to natalie portmans shaved head."

Allen and her friends threw ice cream at each other after the gig, the final stop on her North American tour, according to British newspaper Evening Standard.

"She was nervous about the whole American tour, so it was a big relief for her to finish on a high," a source told the newspaper. "Lil, her band and crew were really letting loose backstage and things just got out of control.

"Before long, everyone was chucking it about and it was all over the dressing room."

Ironically, Allen recently told The View television show that she thought her wild ways had ended her career.

"I took a bit of a beating the first time around," she said. "I became more famous for being a train wreck than a singer. I didn't think I was capable of writing songs and making music."

Allen told the Daily Mirror newspaper last month that she was "completely skint" (broke).

"I've been hit big time by the credit crunch. Actually, I've just had to sell my car because I'm so broke. I bought a car last year and that was probably my biggest extravagance. Clothes, too. I'm always buying clothes. I'm completely skint.

"I'm waiting until I get the royalties from the [new] album and all the radio plays, but that takes about a year.

"I can't even spend on credit cards. The banks will usually front your money in that kind of situation, but they are not lending at the moment, so it's a tricky time."

Allen apparently isn't so poor that she can't afford a good ice cream fight, though.
