Singer Lily Allen Breaks Down Over Self-Image Trouble
by Alan Henderson in gossip
Singer Lily Allen expresses grave doubts about her career
Lily Allen has been hailed as a singer who has resisted the urge to cave into pressure about her appearance. The singer has posted a bizarre rant on her MySpace blog.
The post is titled "fat , ugly and shitter than winehouse" and is posted below.
fat , ugly and shitter than winehouse
that is all i am , im on my own in america again . I used to pride myself on being strong minded and not being some stupid girl obsessed with the way I look . I felt like it didnt matter if I was a bit chubby cause , im not a model , I'm a singer . Im afraid I am not strong and have fallen victim to the evil machine . I write to you in a sea of tears from my hotel bed in Seattle , I have spent the past hour researching gastric bypass surgery , and laser lipo suction .
It sounds like Lily is feeling quite sorry for herself in Seattle. The fans have weighed in with their support, but this type of crisis of confidence can't be good for the singer. To compare herself to the awesome Winehouse is probably not even fair. They have completely different styles.
This is only a few weeks after this awesome post announcing the cancellation of her tour.
Hey Guys ,
I'm writing to tell you that I have cancelled many of my May and June tour commitments in America . The reason for this , is because my mummy and daddy are very rich , and I have never been in a position where i have actually had to do any hard work before . I thought that being a popstar meant going out getting trashed with famous people and sleeping in all day . The fact that this is not true has come as a huge dissapiontment to me , and as a result I am throwing the towel in .
No but seriously , I have been on tour with this album for a year now , I have fulfilled every commitment up to this point . I am tired , but more than that I don't think I have been giving my best performances recently . I have been getting really drunk because i've been so nervous about doing bad shows , and I don't want people spending money on a going to see a show that isnt the best it could be . I am not falling apart at the seems , I am not suffering with exhaustion , I am not pregnant , and I am not going to rehab . I will be here in America , promoting the album and also starting to write the second album , which I am beyond excited about . The LA and New York shows will still be happening , and I am still playing Coachella and Bonaroo and all the other festivals .
I'd like to apologise to anyone who has bought tickets , but you can get your money back , if you take 'em back to the place you bought them from .
Cheer up, Lily. There are a lot of people out here who support you. If you support Lily Allen, perhaps you can head over to her MySpace blog and leave her a message of support. It must be so tough to be a celebrity these days.
Do you think Lily Allen will recover her tour?

She sounds very upset. Hopefully she'll get to feeling better about herself soon.
