Lily Allen’s TV Show Premieres On BBC Three In The UK
Lily Allen’s new TV program, Lily Allen and Friends, had its premiere on Tuesday night on BBC Three in the UK. (BBC Three is the corporation’s ‘youth’ channel, aimed at viewers aged 16 to 34.)
The UK newspaper The Mail on Sunday reported on Sunday that the program was not good, the jokes were bad, Allen did not sing on the show, as was expected, and audience members walked out in droves. (See http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=513955&in_page_id=1773 for more.) In a blog on her MySpace page, Allen claimed that the taping of the first show ran long and, as a result, some audience members had to leave to catch trains, buses, and the Tube home.
Allen recently suffered a miscarriage and shortly thereafter broke up with her boyfriend, Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers.

over 2 million people (maybe more) will tell you how much they love Lily Allen no matter what she does. She has her hands in everything, being a talk show host is just one. Fault the producers for not coming up with creative ideas Lily Allen (new to the game) had no creative control over her talk show
