 LILY ALLEN has for once and all, confirmed that she will not be recording a third album, or touring, anytime soon. When pressed, Allen told NME that "maybe in five years" she would record another album. Allen told UK TV show 'Live From Studio Five' - "It's a really big commitment to do an album these days. People don't buy music anymore, they download it and want their content for free - the thing that makes you your money is touring and I don't really want to tie myself down to being on the road for three years. I have got a boyfriend and I have got a house and I'd quite like to have children soon. So it doesn't really work into those plans. It's not retiring. I'm just doing a different job for a bit. I'm having a career change. I just want to stay in London for a while. It's not a particularly healthy lifestyle being on the road." Allen is instead launching a fashion venture - 'Lucy In Disguise' - which will be launched during the new Vintage At Goodwood festival. Allen will be sourcing vintage clothes with her sister, Sarah Owen. "I'm setting up a record label and a music charity and website and I'm also doing a vintage clothes shop with my sister, it's amazing stuff that would be really expensive but we're renting it [out] for a fraction of the price, so girls can come and get dressed up for a night out and have a laugh!" she told NME.COM. Allen also got into a fight with Courtney Love at the NME Awards. Hole reportedly took offence at comments Lily, had supposedly made on Twitter about her daughter Frances Bean Cobain. Courtney called Lily a "little girl", while Allen responded demanding - "Why the fuck did you say that to me?". View more photos from the Vintage At Goodwood festival photocall below...        |
