Lily Allen Launches a Fashion Line

According to Women's Wear Daily, British singer Lily Allen has a new line of clothing in the works. She's teaming up with her sister, Sarah Owen, for a new collection focused on vintage-inspired garments.

The line will be called "Lucy in Disguise", the same name as their vintage shop located in London's Convent Garden district. Reportedly, the new line was designed with a fictional clotheshorse named Lucy in mind.

At a press conference, Allen explained:

"(Lucy's) a time-traveling fashionista, who's inviting you to explore her wardrobe. It's a great opportunity to play with the character."

Included in the collection are many types of dresses inspired by several different decades. The dresses will hit stores in June, and will retail from $175 to $630. In the U.S., they'll be available on shopbop.com. In the U.K. they'll be available at the Lucy in Disguise store, lucyindisguiselondon.com, Harvey Nichols and other international shops.

Lily Allen Might Retire from Music


British pop singer Lily Allen has decided to take some time off from music, possibly permanently, because of piracy issues that have been negatively affecting the music business. On her anti-piracy blog, Allen confirmed that she has no plans to tour or make another record after latest album It's Not Me, It's You. She says, "I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade. The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I'm concerned, so I don't (at this point) stand to profit from legislation." The singer has instead taken on a new endeavor, starring in the West End production of Neil Labute's play, Reasons To Be Pretty.

Lily Allen and Liam Gallagher Get a Little More Than Tipsy


Liam Gallagher and Lily Allen don’t need a hopping party to have a good time. Their 11hr flight to Japan was more than enough.

The Oasis front man, who had been drinking champagne in the Upper Class lounge at London’s Heathrow airport before their Virgin Atlantic flight last Wednesday. The 2 singers spent most of their time on board drinking together. Their entourage even had to warn the crew members ahead of time because they knew there was no stopping them after they already started, “keep those two apart”.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “They did not care about the other passengers. They were in a world of their own. They were already well-oiled by the time they came on board. There is obviously a different set of rules for celebrities.”

It’s no surprise that the airline crew had to tell the drinking duo to calm down after they relentlessly continued to swear.

After the flight, the pop star pair continued their fun as they reached Japan where Oasis and Lily were performing at the Fuji Rocks festival.

Liam stated on his Twitter page that the trip had been a good one, “Just landed in Tokyo. That flight flew by.”

Lily definitely must have agreed because on her Twitter she exclaimed, “At Lost in Transation hotel in tokyo. Had an extraordinary amount of fun the past few days, and now ive got 2 weeks off. EPIC (sic).”

Liam, 36, has a history of drunken behavior on planes.In 1998, he was banned from Cathay Pacific airlines for life after passengers on a Hong Kong to Perth flight complained about his drunken and offensive behavior. Apparently he would smoke, swear, and throw objects at the staff.Liam, who had been threatened by the captain that he would be arrested upon landing, later said that didn’t do anything and that we only wanted “a scone”.
