Lily Allen's Blog Is A Plea For Help, Liposuction Location Suggestions

The most extreme example of the species of MySpace-savvy artists discussed in that NYT Mag article is our dear Lily, and as if on cue, she lets us in on her case of the body-image blues. This comes from Lil's MySpace, but of course:

fat , ugly and shitter than winehouse

that is all i am , im on my own in america again . I used to pride myself on being strong minded and not being some stupid girl obsessed with the way I look . I felt like it didnt matter if I was a bit chubby cause , im not a model , I'm a singer . Im afraid I am not strong and have fallen victim to the evil machine . I write to you in a sea of tears from my hotel bed in Seattle , I have spent the past hour researching gastric bypass surgery , and laser lipo suction .

Here are the photos she's upped from her bed. One is before the tears, and the other is titled "me crying in bed." Awwww.


Don't worry Lily, most think you're more hot than not. You're certainly a little nuts, but adorable doing it. And hopefully, not a chick with a dick. After the jump, pre-body-image-blues Lily, enjoying a chili cheese dog and saying "Fuck you" to fashion.

That's the Lil we want back.

She's not all that attractive but it has nothing to do with being fat (which she's not)...how the hell is she so much paler in the second shot than the first????

Aaaaargh. This pisses me off. There is something seriously wrong with society when someone like Lily Allen contemplates getting gastric bypass surgery. I'm sure some people think that she just needs to toughen up and get over it, but personally I can't even fathom what it's like to be under constant scrutiny and called chubby all the time by the media. It must be maddening.

And by "someone like Lily Allen" I mean someone who is not even remotely fat.

Jesus, some of you people are assholes.

While I find her music incredibly dull and her persona occasionally irritating, I actually think she's really hot. And super models aren't hot, they're weird-looking. That's why they're models. I'll never understand why some dudes find women who look like 12 year old boys sexually attractive, except that maybe they actually like 12 year old boys.

Anyway, aside from that, she's not even close to "fat". Jesus, New York, get your head out of your ass.

1. WInehouse also has body image problems if the stuff about her cutting herself is true; also not thin, at least by Lily's apparent standards.
2. Winehouse has one good song that got tired after five or six listens.
3. Why the FUCK is the British music scene so goddamn petty?

Darling, if you're so affected by the "evil machine", how's about doing your crying without having to turn the camera on yourself?

You're not fat, okay? You're pretty. You're talented. So cut out all this fucking whining.

She slightly cute, but she's in-no-fucking-way fat at all, and she should be slapped for thinking she is. I'm putting in a call to Winehouse.

Seriously, though, that's fucking insulting bullshit. As a fatass (compared to her, at least) myself, it's damned obnoxious to see these women who are absolutely fine, even by society's standards, complaining about how fat they think they are. It's sickening. For God's sake, who gives a shit? You're a singer, so sing. Don't worry so much about how you look. Good grief. And if the labels give you shit about it, flip them off. Who cares?

When distraught, she wears her green tank top.

But when she's going to cry, changes into her white one. Apparently.

Ugh, I feel like I came off a bit harsh. I have sympathy for those with anorexia or whatever, but I don't think Lily has that. She looks to be just feeling inadequate, and that is bullshit. Women need to stop caring what other people want them to look like, and just live as healthy as they can and be happy. More often than not, all the special clothes and jewelry and makeup and stupid surgical shit, it's just excessive nonsense. A woman lacking confidence is much less attractive than a woman with a little pudge. So there.

It's called **SELF** esteem. Meaning you are in control of how you feel about yourself. For every person that thinks person "A" is fat, there is another who thinks they are not. They have to choose to whom to listen.

That being said, she looks a bit like miss piggy.

Who the hell booked her to open for Fergie and Hillary Duff anyways? I think this gig has been what's giving her the blues and is perhaps some sick promoter's idea of hell for her. She had a performance slot at the Everett Events Center and must have been a terrible Mother's Day gift for some attendees.

I think Lily is beautiful, mainly because of her free and unique spirit. I hope she overcomes her body image issues, because she was one of the very few women in the public eye that wasn't a phony, waify whore. we need way more Lily Allens in the world.

Obviously she wasn't joking considering her fellow up.

So does this mean we should lay down an Indie Rock fatwa on her ass?

I don't like the way she acts, but she should be pleased with the way she looks, she is cute.

wow! lily, you are so ridiculous. why worry about what others think? it don't even give a matter. are you happy with yourself? that's what matters. when you die ain't none of these people gon be with you anyway. i remember seeing your first commercial with you laying on a bed with your laptop talking about boys, and i almost peed myself laughing. i then went into research to looking at some of your music, and i have just recently seen your video about your little brother being high.. ? i don't know, but i was having giggles & shits then too. i think you're amazingly beautiful, and on top of that you show that you don't care what others think, and are very confident in yourself, which makes you even HOTTER. (ha, if i was a guy, i'd do you.)

but yeah, who cares. be yourself. and you are a music artist, not a model. but i think you could do both if you wanted. =)

Lily allen might not be the skinnyest girl in the fame game but she sure aint fat.I don tknow why all these paparatzzi peps put all this preassure on famouse people IE lily allen and make them feel like there fat and ugly.

Ok Look, if you have so much time on your hands that your makeing negative comments, then my advice is get a life. Lilly Allen is hilarious an inspiration to all of us out there who dont go for the terms of Herion Chic, anyway, shes not fat, at all. Stop with the fucking *shes fat* comments, its makes you sound jealous and bitchy. Her musics great and shes pretty, get over it.
