  She's feisty, she's talented and she's the star everyone's talking about. Lily Allen exploded onto the UK music scene in 2006 with her infectious debut single Smile . Originally touted as a female version of The Streets, Lily's stunning voice and honest, quirky sound has guaranteed her a place in the charts - and her party-loving lifestyle has made her a darling of the tabloids and weekly celeb magazines. Lily made her rapid ascent to pop stardom through MySpace.com, where she boasts an incredible 100,000 friends. The brutally honest Londoner is always quick to tell fans exactly what she thinks, from boasting about public rivalries with fellow celebrities to talking frankly about drugs. Despite her quirky street style and loud mouth, however, she remains something of a living contradiction. Born to actor father Keith Allen and producer mother Alison Owen, Allen enjoyed a privileged upbringing at private schools, and even got a part in one of her mother's films before launching her music singing career.
