Lily lashes out: The singer is facing a charge of actual bodily harm following an alleged attack on photographer Kevin Rush



She was released on police bail over the alleged assault on photographer Kevin Rush near the Wardour club in the Soho area on March 13. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman confirmed Allen was "arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. She has been bailed to return on a date in late July."
The incident took place in March after Allen left a party she was hosting at The Wardour club in London.
As she walked to the nearby Groucho club - a favourite haunt of her father Keith Allen - she suddenly turned on Mr Rush, who was standing among a group of photographers. She is alleged to have lunged forward and hit him in the face, leaving him reeling.
Allen was accused of a previous attack on a photographer at the Brits awards. It was alleged she took off her stiletto and attacked a photographer as she left empty-handed, losing out to rival Amy Winehouse.
Tonight she makes an appearance posing as pop rival Amy Winehouse on Channel 4's Friday Night Project.

Lily has had a turbulent year, following public spats with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, and an online meltdown when she revealed her unhappiness over her body image.

In another rant, Lily complained that she is a hate figure in the UK, but is treated like royalty in the US.
She said: "In LA some of the paparazzi are really nice. But I think people hate me in England.
"I'll write 10 million nice things, then I'll write one thing that annoys me and it's like: 'Lily Allen slams Madonna'. And I become that person that badmouths people, which I'm not."
Allen built up a huge following via her MySpace page before releasing her debut single, Smile, which topped the chart last July. The star, daughter of actor Keith Allen, recently postponed her US tour, saying she wanted to get back into the recording studio.

What a shame.

My god - what are our jurnos coming to that they can't even find the word "appointment" instead of "attended the police station at a pre-arranged time"

As for Mz Allen I'm surprised the US likes you having siad what you said but I don't "But I think people hate me in England" hate you - I just don't care about you & won't buy your shitty records! Ha!

I am over her. She is becoming the UK version of Parisite.

She looks like Christina Ricci in the first two pictures. I don't know much about her, but I remember reading a tabloid and she had written some email that was like, "I'm writing to you in a sea of tears because I'm so fat" and I was just like wtf????

What about the alleged attack on us!?!? I feel assaulted seeing her leg flapping up in the air like that!! Close your legs!

I liked her single when it came out but have since decided she is a bitch. She said some pretty shitty things about the South when touring down here.

Sorry, but she is little better than white trash and has absolutely no business making disparaging remarks about anyone or anything. Puleeze! She is a talentless little piece of trash.

I actually like Lily. Friday Night is funny and entertaining.

In the club make our way to the bar,
Good dancing love but you should of worn a bra.
Guy on the mike and he's making too much noise,
There's these girls in the corner wanting attention from the boys.
