This one is called:
Lily Allen Gets a Beer Bath After Pushing Bobby Kray Offstage
from www.allheadlinenews.com

Shaveta Bansal - Celebrity News Service Writer

London, England (CNS) - Lily Allen was doused with beer on Monday after she pushed Bobby Kray off stage. According to onlookers, the "Smile" singer was drunk when she interrupted the reggae star during his performance at London's Notting Hill Carnival.

Thousands of fans watched as Allen jumped on the stage and wrestled for the mic from Kray before shoving him into the crowd, the Sun reports.

Allen was however taught a lesson after Kray grabbed the Guinness beer she was holding and poured it over her head.

Lily, who is said to be a huge fan of Kray's, left the stage in embarrassment to the cheers of the audience.

Brit singer Lily Allen battles U.S. visa problems

Music Scene
10:57 AM EDT, August 20, 2007

From the "Can't Knock 'Em Out, Can't Walk Away" File: British singer Lily Allen described President George W. Bush with expletives and tried to make light of her visa problems at Saturday's V Festival in Stafford, England.

"I've been banned from America," she said, introducing "Everything Is Wonderful." "That's nice. Oh well, that means I can't go back there. Good."

Also on her hit list during the introduction, according to NME.com: "People who are awkward on the train, U.S. immigration officials... And people who edit fashion magazines – ones like Gratzia, Now and Heat that makes us ladies feel awful."

Allen's U.S. working visa was revoked earlier this month based on charges stemming from an alleged assault on a paparazzi outside a London nightclub in March. Though her attorneys are attempting to have the visa reinstated, Allen had to cancel her appearance on MTV's Video Music Awards and had to postpone her September tour dates until she can work out the issues.

Indeed it is, c.b. She has more in common with Prince Charles than this clip points out though. Is a really classy gal, our Lily Allen.

Secret Link between Lily Allen and the Dead

I have permission from cosmicbadger to fill you all in on why he started talking about Lily Allen in the first place. He is too shy to break the news, so I will. Am pasting an excerpt from a pm below: Well shy is not the right word, modest is better. He was waiting for someone ELSE to see the light, but as it hasn't happened yet, will spill the beans.

My other extraordinary LA secret is an amazing Link between her and the Dead. Lily played the inaugural concert at the relaunch of the Filmore East in New York this year

Lily Allen is a model of decorum

Lily Allen passed out after Carnival
Wednesday, August 29 2007, 11:31 BST

By Alex Fletcher

Lily Allen ended up passed out on the pavement after spending the day partying at the Notting Hill Carnival, say reports.

It was revealed yesterday how the 'Smile' singer had taken to the stage during a live performance at the festival and ended up with a pint of
Guinness poured over her head.

Fresh reports now claim that Allen ended up comatose on the street at the end of the night, before being carried off the pavement by the staff at Rosa's Dining Room.

A passer-by told The Sun: "She was just asleep on the ground - it didn't look very good.

"People were crowding around taking pictures of her until some staff from a nearby restaurant rescued her."

The pop star was reportedly given several glasses of water by workers before being packed off in a taxi to her North London home.
