Lily Allen has admitted she is so broke she has had to sell her £35,000 BMW 320 convertible to put food on the table.

Despite her huge success of new album, ‘It’s not me it’s you,’ and selling millions of records worldwide, the singer has splashed her cash on extravagant items she can no longer afford to keep. Lily said, “I’ve been hit big time by the credit crunch. Actually, I just had to sell my car because I’m so broke.

“I bought a car last year and that was probably my biggest extravagance. Clothes too, I’m always buying clothes.”

The pop chick who loves to splurge her money on Chanel and YSL heels may have to resort to spending her cash on the high street in Primark for now; however, she doesn’t plan on staying broke for too long.

“I’m completely skint. I can’t even spend on credit cards. I mean, I won’t be, as I’m waiting until I get the royalties from the album and all the radio plays but that takes about a year. “The banks will usually front your money in that kind of situation but they are not lending at the moment so it’s a tricky time.”

The successful singer, whose recent single, The Fear, and album, It’s Not Me It’s You, both hit the Number One spot, doesn’t think that the music industry might not be her number one priority for much longer.

The 23-year-old singer said, “Isn’t the point of life to find a partner? That’s the idea, isn’t it? I don’t know if I want to get married. I know I want to be falling in love, that’s the good s***.”

The singer hasn’t been the luckiest in love, recently splitting with art dealer, Jay Jopling, 45.

Early 2008 saw Allen split from Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers shortly after she suffered a miscarriage with his child.

Lilly is sensible in knowing her career may not last forever and has taken to some sweet hobbies to keep her entertained.

“I’m really enjoying my life but if it lasts, it lasts, and if it doesn’t I’ll find something else. There’s always a cake shop. I really like baking.”

Simon Cowell’s ex girlfriend has admitted that being with him is like having a “full-time job.”

Terri Seymour who dated Simon, 48, for six years before they split last year, is still helping the music man manage his busy career and life.

Terri said, “Looking after Simon’s a full-time job when you go out with him – and I’m still doing it now! I’m still overseeing and finalising his new house, I’ve project-managed it all, right down to the furniture.

“There’s no way he’ll remember what furniture will be arriving because we ordered it four years ago!”

The couple split in September 2008 after rumours that he had been cheating and wouldn’t settle down with Terri.

Max Clifford, Cowell’s rep, insisted that the split was amicable. He said, “Terri phoned Simon and finished it in the September.

“They are going to remain close friends. Simon thinks the world of Terri and that isn’t going to change. He also understands her reason for ending it.”

Terrie, 34, in her interview with Britain’s Closer magazine, insists that she still sees and speaks to Simon as much as they did when they were a couple.

“Simon and I speak six times a day, and I see him all the time. We’re happy as we are. We still see each other as much as when we were together.

“We didn’t end on bad terms, so why would you want somebody out of your life just because you’re not seeing them?”

However, Terri admitted she was always aware that Simon and her wanted different things and was surprised they lasted so long.

“From the beginning I knew he never wanted to get married and have kids. I’ve never been one of those people who dreamt of getting married, although I’d love to have a baby.

“I probably feel this way because my mum raised me as a single parent. Having a child with someone means more than having a marriage certificate. My clock’s not ticking yet – although I’d like to have a child before I turn 40.”

When Celebrities Wear Too Much Make Up

We’re all guilty of it. The second our favourite weekly magazine comes out, splashed with celebs looking ten stone over weight, we dive to the shelf to take a sneaky peak at celebs looking worse for wear. It just seems to make us feel better to see others looking pretty grim.

As lent has dawned upon us, and many of us turn to religion to restart our diet by not eating chocolate or cutting out the carbs, a dose of unattractive celebrities is a much needed medicine to make us feel that extra bit better in knowing that celebrities are human beings too.

We’ve put together a set of celebrities who have decided to give their stylists and makeup artists the day off and go it alone.  As you will see, many have never heard of blending make up into the skin, and seem to have spent a lot of time with the clowns at the circus.

Whatever your mood is, take a break with a KitKat, feel lighter with a Malteser and enjoy!

Christina Aguilera

Christina really upset and confused by the fact that 50 people today have asked her to perform a juggling act and walk across a tight rope at the same time.

Clearly the clown look was not what she was aiming for.

Grace Jones

Singer Grace Jones has had to suffer the terrifying ordeal of having to shoot her next video in the Hall of Mirrors.

She was clearly traumatised by the ordeal as she faces up to the mirror for the first time.

Jodie Marsh

It would be rather unfair if we mentioned makeup and forgot to include Jodie Marsh.

Known for her skimpy outfits and loud mouth, her face never misses any tabloid, TV screen or, like now, web article.

To say that Jodie didn’t have a mirror this morning or sacked her makeup artist would be an absolute lie as this is Jodie’s complexion on a daily basis.

Pamela Anderson

Pamela clearly doesn’t know how to use mascara, eyeliner or tweezers even at 41.

The Baywatch babe clearly put the wrong wax strips across her eyebrows and forgot that mascara and eyeliner is actually meant for the eye and not the whole face!

Rachel Evan Wood

American actress, Rachel Evan Wood clearly thinks that the porcelain look works to her advantage…it doesn’t.

Her eyebrows have turned a rather bizarre burgundy colour and the orange coloured eye shadow and ruby red lips don’t do any justice for her pasty white skin.

Keeping up with three excited boys on a family day out can’t be easy, but Victoria Beckham managed to do it in six inch stilettos when she recently visited a theme park for the day with her boys, the mother of three never shies away from a little pain in the name of fashion.

But she elevated sartorial suffering to new heights when she insisted on Christian Louboutin high heels for a trip to a theme park at the weekend, where as most would where a comfy pair of trainers or flip flops for a day a Universal Studios in Los Angeles, but Victoria tottered through the day in her six inch Louboutin’s, and her three young boys ran ahead in leaps and bounds whilst she hobbled behind trying to keep up. 

Mrs Beckham’s poor feet looked like they needed a day out too. ’Victoria’s feet looked almost out of shape, her toes were squashed down at the bottom of the shoe and her ankles were forced forward.” One onlooker that spotted on the day said. 

‘The shoes even look like they were too big for her. There was a huge gap at the back.’

But Victoria stood out from the crowds in a sleek black dress, oversize sunglasses and favourite Louboutins, she is rarely seen without her heels.

Even when she was given the honour of throwing the first pitch at an LA Dodgers baseball game she wore wedges rather than trainers.

‘I just can’t concentrate in flats,’ she has said.

Jennifer Aniston attended the premier of her new film Marley and Me in London last night, and everyone agreed she looked stunning in a full length blue burberry dress and she wowed the crowds that had turned up to catch a glimpse of her on the red carpet. 

The former Friends actress joined co-star Owen Wilson on the red carpet at London’s Leicester Square to sign autographs for screaming fans, and reports have said both Jennifer and Owen were friendly and chatty with everyone who had turned up to see them and were happy to answer questions related to their new film. 

Jennifer Aniston braved the plunging temperatures wearing a floor-length strapless gown by British label Burberry, giving British designers a thumbs up at the London event. The movie concerns newlyweds John (Wilson) and Jenny Grogan (Aniston) who buy “the world’s worst dog” after moving to start new lives in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Speaking on the red carpet, Aniston put the film’s success in the US down to “the simplicity of it and the realness”.

“The characters that are portrayed are beautiful,” she said.

Other stars at the premiere included Dancing on Ice’s Roxanne Pallett, model Danielle Lloyd and I’m A Celebrity’s Gemma Atkinson.

Marley and Me is released nationwide in cinemas on March 11.

Jade Goody plans to meet a white witch and has been praying and bathing in “holy water” in a desperate attempt to cure her terminal cancer, Jade who has been given just weeks to live by doctors treating her cancer, said she was also reading the Bible and its turning towards Jesus in her current hard times.

She continued: “I have a bowl of holy water that I wash and pray with and I’m even having a meeting with a white witch. She cured someone I know of cancer. I’ve no idea what she’s going to do to me so I’ll have to let you know how I get on!”

Goody said she was in touch with her life coach and might also see a healer saying: “It all helps to keep me positive.”

Jade who is a mum of two boys has also revealed that she’d offered her new husband Jack Tweed her house when she’s gone - “I told him he can live in my house when I go but he said, ‘I can’t stay here. I’ll be looking for you in every corner’.”

She has recently been spending as much time as possible as a family saying: “We’re trying to plan things as a family so the boys have good memories of us all together. We’re planning a big sleepover with me and the boys, Jeff (her ex Jeff Brazier), Jack and all our mates.”

Jade has given her sons Bobby and Freddie friendship bracelets as a reminder for them that she will always be with them, and when she gave them the bracelets she said: “I told them they should never take them off and, if they’re sad, missing their mum or upset, to rub them and think of me.”
