After carousing at a nightclub in London on Friday night, Lily Allen decided on a novel way of avoiding photographers. The singer, 22, hid herself in a huge linen holdall and was dragged 50 yards down Oxford Street by three friends. Dressed in a hooded top, she rolled herself up inside the bag to ensure she got a bit of privacy.

Picky and Fussy fashion gurus Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine think Lily Allen is onto a winner with her fashion range. The singer, 22, has designed clothes for high street store New Look. But unlike other celeb designers, Trinny and Susannah, 45, reckon Lily's range is perfect for normal-sized girls. 'Not everyone has a body like Madonna,' Trinny, 43, tells the Daily Express.

Lily Allen has chuckled off flirty SMSs from Arctic Monkey frontman Alex Turner. The single lad, 21, reportedly sent Lily a message saying that he wanted to spend the night with her. But the 22-year-old singer – who's already got a boyfriend in DJ Seb Chew – isn't interested.

You would believe a pop star like Lily Allen would have hardly any capable people working for her to avoid issues like finding out your work Visa has expired when you land in the US. Allen, who is due to tour the US this September, was detained at LAX for 5 hours in connection with an arrest for an alleged assault in London a few months back. A spokesman for the singer said: "She's still in America. All her commitments will carry on as normal. The work visa will be sorted out by her next visit." "Lily was questioned and her work visa was revoked," the spokesman added. "She was detained for five hours but not strip searched. Understandably she was upset by it."

We can all relax certain now; Lily Allen is ‘smiling’ and content. The usually sad and pissed off Lily Allen wrote another blog, but this time she is not on the verge of suicide…thank God. She writes, "It's been a long time and all that.
