Talk about stiff and awkward. Lily Allen has her own talk show on BBC Three, Lily Allen and Friends and well, it’s not good. Well, that’s kind of a lie.
It’s good in that wide stance sort of way. When you’re trying to go to the bathroom and an undercover cop brushes your leg and then you wonder if that was good or bad and then next thing you know you’re getting arrested and being asked to resign from the Senate. And the whole time you’re thinking how did that happen? I was just trying to take care of business.
It’s awesome and awkward in that kind of way. So not good at all. Poor Martin Freeman is all we can say. (via: The Daily Swarm)
If that wasn’t enough to satisfy your Lily Allen craving, hit the jump for Parts 2,3 and if you act now we’ll throw in part 4! MORE »
Just a few things to start your day with. Let’s get it kicked off.
- Rachel Ray and her annoying mouse voice are rumored to not like Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. You know, the coffee she gets paid to endorse. Alls I can say is why don’t they fire her. I’ll gladly take her paycheck and shoot the commercials and drink the coffee. Yeah I know it tastes really watery (much in the same way Starbucks always taste burnt and dirty) but the last sip of Dunkin’s when it’s all sugar at the bottom is a great way to start the morning.
- Rodrigo over at the always excellent The Playlist is reporting that Karen O, she of Yeah Yeah Yeahs fame, is penning the soundtrack for the delayed Spike Jonze-directed/Dave Eggers-written Where the Wild Things Are. This is one of our most anticpated movies of 2008 and adding Karen O to the mix brings it up a notch. Glad to see that ex-lovers can still work together.
- Daniel Day-Lewis’s iconic role as Daniel Plainview (is it too early to call this one a historically good performance yet?) in the best reviewed movie this year, There Will Be Blood, even has a catch phrase. Not bad. If you haven’t seen the movie he screams the line “I drank your milkshake!” and for one reason or another people have latched onto it. It didn’t take long for someone to introduce Plainview to Kelis.
- Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand spoke with Billboard about recording their third album and they are calling it a “dirty pop album.” Whatever that means. So long as they aren’t going the Britney Xtina approach.
- According to Brooklyn Vegan, the Smithsonian is opening an exhibit dedicated to hip-hop that will run from Feb. 8 until Oct. 26.
- Chantreuse Neko Case, excellent solo or doing duty with New Pornographers, is now getting immortalized in cartoon form on Aqua Teen Hunger Forceand then on a new Adult Swim Show. That new show is titled Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge, so of course Neko is the voice of Cheyenne. God once asked Neko to be his voice for human ears. True story.
- New Sex and the City poster is out. Carrie is so super-duper glamorous. Oh my god!
- It’s not just athletes using HGH and Steroids. It’s also the rappers like 50 Cent. Well rumored anyway. Also mentioned were Mary J. Blige and uber-producer Timbaland. Huh?
- A bit of sad news, but Brit pop-tart Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage with her boyfriend, The Chemical Brothers Ed Simons. We wish her all the best in recovering and dealing with this unfortunate news.
- J.J. Abrams is casting for his next television series and it sorta sounds like a rip off of The X-Files, but not as good. But it is J.J. Abrams right? So we have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He’s earned that much.

–> Looks like the King of Malibu is back on top…and off the wagon. Photos from a recent vacation show Mel Gibson looking a bit, um, blurry? They can take our lives, but they can never take our bourbon?

–>Thinking that stroller seat looks mighty empty for a brood of Puff Daddy’s size? Well, consider his fam expanded, as Puffy has announced that he is father to Sarah Chapman’s daughter, Chance. At first, of course, he denied it like it was going out of style, but DNA tests have confirmed his paternity, and he responded to Rush & Molloy that “At first, I wasn’t sure if this was my child. Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life.” He better keep it in his pants, or he’s going to throw all his money away on child support. He’s got a fucking Brady Bunch on his hands!
–> Really she’s sucking her thumb, but it appears that Zahara, who dad Brad Pitt said hates the paparazzi, is giving a big f-u to the surrounding cameramen. Or maybe she’s cursing her grandpa Jon Voight, who was seen leaving the Waldorf Astoria yesterday, where Brad, Angelina Jolie, and Co. are currently staying. A source said, “Jon wanted to meet the children but that didn’t happen. It was just a one-on-one with Angie but he thinks at least that’s a start.” Eek, remember in 2002 when he said that his daughter had “mental issues”–which could very well be true–and that statement began the estrangement? And then when he tried to comment on Shiloh’s birth to TMZ’s cameras and couldn’t even get her name right? Kind of a Desperate Dave, that one…

–>I used to get embarrassed when my dad would mention bras or tampons, but then again, I wasn’t raised by Keith Allen, who recently told reporters he used his infant daughter Lily (now a singer) to sell nitrate poppers at the Glastonbury Festival: “I didn’t see what was wrong with taking little Lily along with me as a sales tool rather like the homeless lads do with dogs. Cute puppy guarantees punters will stop and stroke it and therefore give you money. Lil’ sat next to the stall gurgling in a pushchair while I cranked up the sales patter and knocked out the lager.”

–>After their reunion show sold out in a reported 67 seconds, trouble’s a’ brewin for the Spice Girls: Victoria “Posh” Beckham, Melanie “Sporty” Chisholm, Melanie “Scary” Brown, Geri “Ginger” Halliwell, and Emma “Baby” Bunton. Ginger let slip the name of the new single, “Headlines”, to British chat show GMTV on Friday. A source for the Daily Star seems to think the other girls, er, women, will be “furious” that she released the name of their first single without alerting them. Sounds like a fake feud that the papers create to make news. Either way, you can continue on with your day now that you’ve found out the title of their new single, I know it was kind of “need to know” info.
