Lily Allen tried to throw a punch at a passer-by in London's Soho early this morning, having enjoyed a night out with pal Miquita Oliver at the Groucho Club. The singer had been full of smiles as she left Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, but after reportedly being heckled Lily lashed out, although it seems the punch failed to connect. This behaviour is reminiscent of a certain other young female singer, so I hope Lily doesn't continue to follow in Amy's footsteps. She's been blogging on her MySpace page, writing about how much she's enjoying the Olympics, so perhaps a couple of nights in front on the telly would be a good idea. Lily also blogged about her album delay, saying:
"It has been finished for a while now, I don't really know whats going on with it. The record industry is a very political place at the moment and I am on EMI records, lots of people have been fired or have taken redundancy recently as the company was taken over by a private equity firm called Terra Firma. Many of these people were people assigned to my projects and now I don't quite know what's going on. I'm sure everyone will find their feet soon enough and I'll be able to put the album out soon."
Let's hope the album sees the light of day sooner rather than later.
