Singer Lily Allen has received a new honour and had a flower named after her.

November 23, 2009

Singer Lily Allen has received a new honour and had a flower named after her.

Allen, 24, now has a lily flower named after her after the Manchester radio station Key 103 teamed up with the British Horticultural Society to name the plant after her.

Allen was asked to pick her favourite out of a choice of colours and she went for an orange one as it was the colour of a mug that was given to her by her late nan, Mary Elizabeth.

Allen is heard talking about the Lily Allen flower during an interview with the Manchester radio station.

Singer Lily Allen has said it is 'quite liberating' to give up using the internet.

The 24-year-old singer ditched internet technology two months ago after starting a debate on her Myspace about illegal file-sharing and receiving a backlash of comments on the page.

Talking about leaving the internet behind, she said: "When you have that much access to information on yourself it can be really dangerous.

"I wanted to see what life would be like without using the net for a bit. Quite liberating actually!"

Lily Allen has said she doesn't have a problem with people burning copies of her CDs.

The 24-year-old singer recently sparked a new debate against the illegal downloading of music but she has now said that she isn't against people making copies of her albums.

She said: "If someone comes up with a burnt copy of my CD and offers it to you for �4, I haven't a problem with that as long as the person buying it places some kind of value on my music."

Allen's anti-file-sharing blog was supported by a number of celebrities such as Mark Ronson and Take That's Gary Barlow. However, she later pulled the blog after receiving too much 'abuse'.

UK singer-songwriter Joss Stone claims Lily Allen's talents lie in her personality rather than her singing.

Stone said: "She [Allen] needs to sell records because she's not a singer and that's not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too.

"I think she's a performer and she's more of a personality than she is a singer. But I think when musicians are really making real music, people come to the show and that's what we make our money from - playing live. And I think it's probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts. It's really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that's how they make their money - selling tho .....

Lily Allen was brought to tears as she picked up the Best Track prize at the Q Awards.

As the 24-year-old accepted the award for her single The Fear, she said: "This is so important to me because I have never won an award for my music before. I'm really pleased - so thank you to everyone who voted for me."

Allen then went on to say that she will be setting up her own record label.

She said: "I've run out of things to write about so I'm going to focus on something else. I am setting up a record label."

Lily Allen is working to launch her own record label.

Speaking at the Q Awards, Allen said: "I'm setting up a record label at the moment, getting involved in lots of different things. I think things need to change in the music industry and we need to rethink a lot of stuff."

Allen set off a controversy when she announced she was quitting music to focus on acting. Allen launched an anti-piracy missive on her blog and declared she had no plans to tour or record.

Allen was awarded Best Track at the awards show for her song The Fear. She said: "I was genuinely shocked by the way the whole album has been received. I really didn't assume I'd win. I think when you start .....

Lily Allen is reportedly too scared to use her local cashpoint, after a pal was attacked at gunpoint near her home in London.

A 25-year-old friend of the singer was reportedly bundled into a car at gunpoint by six gangsters as he was locking up his sports shop, and was only released when police paid a �90,000 ransom.

A friend of Allen's said: "Lily is now too scared to even use the local cashpoint because of what happened.

"She lives in a really rough area and sends her driver to get money for her in his Range Rover."

The pal added: "Lily loves her flat and has spent a fortune on it, but the area is grotty and full of thugs."

Lily Allen is mulling a novel construction project that will turn a country house into a year-round Glastonbury.

Allen, who is dating builder Sam Cooper, wants to attach a Mongolian yurt to a country dream home to create a tent like the ones she stays in at the music festival.

She told a magazine: "My plan is to build a yurt on to the side of my country house. You have the house for traditional living and, of course, running hot water and toilets. But the yurt is full of old Moroccan rugs where you hang out. I want to feel like I'm at Glastonbury year-round, with a few home comforts next door. I want to buy some barn buildings and do them up or buy some land and do a Gran .....
