Looks like Lily Allen's ambitious stab at making it big in the fashion world isn't quite going as planned. The singer, who opened Lucy in Disguise, a vintage store in London as well as a clothing line with her sister, Sarah Owen, back in 2010 is reportedly in debt and bidding adieu to her ready-to-wear endeavor right away. That's right, according to reports in Fashionista, the musician already owes a considerable sum of money to the clothing line's backer, Aurora Fashions, despite "numerous phone calls" and "several letters." Eek, Lily! That being said, Aurora has opted to liquidate the line, which was first sold at retailers like Harvey Nichols and Shopbop,...

Lily Allen is pregnant once more.
The feisty singer was revealed to be expecting a baby by her brand new husband Sam Cooper, who announced the news to the couple’s friends and family during his speech at their wedding reception today.

Lily told Irish TV show Xpose: 'It has its ups and downs. I think in any start up business it's stressful and that just gets multiplied by the fact that we know how to argue, we've been doing it for years but it's equally as rewarding when really good things happen...

Lily Allen has confessed that she has no desire to leave the public eye completely. The 'Smile' singer insisted that her decision to leave showbusiness had nothing to do with a need to escape the spotlight but was more about having lost her passion for music and wanting to spend more time with fiancé Sam Cooper. "That's why I made that decision. It was never about... I feel disgusting talking about this, because it's like, I still want to be famous, I just don't want to sing," she explained in an interview with The Sunday Times' Style magazine.

Lily Allen has begged fans not to watch a controversial fly-on-the-wall TV show about her life - insisting she's "embarrassed" by the footage. The "Smile" hitmaker allowed cameras to follow her last year as she prepared to launch her designer clothes hire shop, Lucy In Disguise, with her sister Sarah Owen.
The programme, titled "Lily Allen: From Riches to Rags", shows her confessing to an eating disorder and opening up about her pregnancy last year, which ended in tragedy when she miscarried the baby at six months. But the pop star has now urged her fans not to tune in when the show airs on U.K. network Channel 4 later this month, admitting she was "naive" to agree to take part.

Thanks, I always say, 'I'm embracing it.' "
Lily's sister Sarah Owen, with whom she has recently opened vintage clothing shop Lucy in Disguise, claimed that men are loving her sister's new body shape.

Lily Allen believes her music success caused problems between her and her older sister Sarah Owen. The "Not Fair" singer was never close to Sarah, who shares the same mother, Alison, as Lily, growing up and their rift deepened as they got older.
Lily believes a "personality clash" caused by her pop career and the success of their actor younger brother Alfie put a huge strain on their relationship. The 25-year-old star, who is pregnant with her first baby with her boyfriend Sam Cooper, said, "It was a very difficult time and there was a big personality clash. I think it was really tough for Sarah to see her little sister and brother doing so well."
Sarah, 30, admits Lily was never the "adoring sister" whom she had expected, and blames the five year age gap between them for their differences. She told Stylist magazine, "I've spent a lot of time...

HollywoodNews.com: Singer Lily Allen says she’s ‘had enough of Lily Allen’ and wants to be herself now.
The 25-year-old star is currently pregnant with her first child and is preparing for life as a mom with a new house in the country.
Allen quit music earlier this year and recently set up a vintage clothing store with her sister Sarah Owen. Speaking to the UK’s S magazine, she said: “I’ve had enough of Lily Allen. I want to be me now. Whatever situation I’m in, whether it’s going to the supermarket, the pub or a club, or in the back of a cab, people think they know me. And the reality is they don’t. Lily Allen is a character I have no control over. It has nothing to do with me except my face is the one that goes with it.”

Lily Allen launched a boutique because she loves fashion, but can't design clothes. The pop star and her sister Sarah Owen, who recently opened vintage clothing store Lucy in Disguise in London together, were both really keen to get involved in the industry, and made the decision to open a shop so they could be creative without having to make their own items.
"I love vintage clothing and I felt like we could highlight how brilliant vintage shopping can be," she said. "Neither myself nor my sister are designers, but we love fashion and working with vintage allows us to be creative and as involved with the clothes as we can be."
The 25-year-old singer, who is currently pregnant with her first child with her boyfriend Sam Cooper, also insists she isn't worried about working with her sibling and believes they will make a success of the business.
