No one is safe from Lily
Her book might be the most explosive celebrity memoir ever
The showbiz world is currently hiding behind a sofa, refusing to come out until Lily Allen has stopped talking. No celebrity was safe last week, as revelation after shocking revelation from the wild singer’s autobiography, My Thoughts Exactly, was published. It included stories of sex with married Liam Gallagher, her, er, orgasmic feud with Cheryl, a fling with Zoë Kravitz – and an anecdote about headbutting an A-lister. “We got hammered on the plane,” the 33 year old writes about her affair with the Oasis rocker in 2009. “Liam and I found ourselves together in the toilet doing something that we shouldn’t have been doing, and it wasn’t drugs.” She writes that she only found out he was married to All Saints’ Nicole Appleton afterwards, despite enjoying a night out with them, and says Liam later made her speak to Nicole to deny anything had happened.
Of actress Zoë Kravitz, she says, “Zoë and I went out partying and ended up kissing. I heard that, later that same night, she’d got with A$AP Rocky.” Lily also opens up about cheating on her ex-husband, Sam Cooper – father of her two daughters, Ethel, six, and Marnie, five.
It’s not all drama, though, and the Smile singer finally offered an apology to rival Cheryl, who she has publicly feuded with since 2006. In the memoir, Lily admits she wrote her song Cheryl Tweedy, insulting the Girls Aloud star, because she had never had an orgasm. She says, “Sorry, Cheryl. I was angry because I hadn’t come yet. It was ridiculous. I bitched at Cheryl because she insulted me after I provoked her.”
The star, who also slates her famous dad Keith Allen for being “narcissistic and cold”, detailed the moment when she knew her partying had got out of hand. In a chapter titled Rock Bottom, Lily admits to getting so drunk at a 2014 party thrown by actress Kate Hudson, that she headbutted actor Orlando Bloom. She knocked herself out, and had to be taken home by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who later suggested she get therapy.
We’re exhausted just reading it.
