Lily Allen will make her highly anticipated comeback this year, much to the joy of her legions of fans (including me)!
Blasting back onto the music scene with the attitude-tastic Hard Out Here in autumn, Lily’s video saw her pan acts like Miley Cyrus who rely on their sexuality to sell their music.
In a new interview with Esquire Magazine, Lily bared more than just her body as she gave frank and honest answers about her plans for 2014.
The photo shoot to accompany the Esquire interview is an uber-glam one, the singer strips off while looking provocatively at the camera from a luxurious bathtub.
As always, Lily was quick to make her true feelings known, she added: “I don’t want to be Rihanna. I want to sell some records, sell some tickets to my shows and live my life.
Lily also reveals the real reason why she took retirement from the celebrity circuit.
The refreshingly frank singer said: “I thought the people in that showbiz circle were my friends.
“But almost the second I got pregnant and I wasn’t able to go out and party, they were suddenly quite nasty.
“There’s a way that those people survive, and it’s not by being nice. The way they make themselves feel powerful is to ostracise other people.
Lily says she found some aspects of fame ‘hollow and tough to deal with,’ she added: “I feel like when I was growing up and dreaming of being a pop star, it was the days of Brit-pop when things felt authentic and anarchic.
“People were taking drugs and having a lot of fun and having sex with each other and it wasn’t fake, it was real.
“So excuse me if I found it a bit disappointing when I arrived and it was a bunch of sterile f**king botoxed idiots that stank of desperation.”
Perfectly put!
