"Lindsay, our thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time in your life (she got arrested this weekend). In the words of Timbaland and Timberlake, ’What goes around...’"

Mean Girls star Lindsay was arrested after her car hit a kerb in Los Angeles, an incident that her estranged father Michael has described as "a blessing".

Lily beating Cheryl in chart war - May 18 2007

Cheryl Tweedy may have had the last word in their recent spat, but it seems that Lily Allen is triumphing in the music stakes.

The London songstress’s album Alright Still is currently outselling Girls Aloud’s Greatest Hits at a rate of eight to one, reports Amazon.co.uk.

The online retailer states that the public feud, reportedly fuelled by Cheryl calling Lily a "chick with a d***", appears to have done neither party any harm - sales of both albums surged on the day the rivalry was thrust into the spotlight.

Lily’s album, however, has seen the greatest benefit from the war of words, with a rise in sales of almost 300 per cent.

"Girls Aloud may have the pop pedigree, but it’s clear where the fans’ loyalties are in this particular spat," said Julian Monaghan, Music Manager at Amazon.co.uk.

"Lily’s been one of the pop success stories of the past year and her sales are far outstripping those of Girls Aloud this week - she’s is certainly a chick with a hit."

Cheryl v Lily: Round 2? - May 18 2007

The war of words between Cheryl Cole and Lily Allen continues - the Girls Aloud singer has apparently hit back at Lily for called her a "stupid bitch".

The Wag initially upset the Smile songstress by calling her "a chick with a d***" - which led Lily to complain on her online blog that she felt "fat and ugly".

But now Cheryl has struck back, telling reporters: "She should keep her mouth shut instead of feeling sorry for herself. I left school a long time ago and I have no time for this."

The Girls Aloud star added: "I have had enough of her and her big mouth. Over the last few months she has called Nicola ’ugly’, Sarah ’vile’ and my husband ’horrendous’. I can’t stand people who give it but aren’t prepared to take it."

And she told The Sun: "Yes I was bitchy about her but I never mentioned her weight. Quite frankly I couldn’t care less if she has a d*** or not."

Your turn, Lily...

Lily hits back over Cheryl jibe - May 16 2007

Lily Allen has blamed Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole for sending her into a spiral of depression over her looks.

The 22-year-old singer posted a tearful confession on her Myspace page complaining she felt "fat and ugly" and saying she was considering plastic surgery.

Now the Smile singer has revealed it was brought on by reading hurtful comments in which Cheryl branded her a "chick with a d***".

In her latest post, Lily said it was Chezza’s jibe - coupled with the constant comparisons to supermodel Kate Moss as they launched rival fashion ranges - which pushed her over the edge.

Biography

As the daughter of Britpop icon Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen, Lily Allen (born May 2 1985) was destined to be famous.  Born in Hammersmith, London, she moved around a lot as a child, living in Ireland’s Co Kildare before eventually settling in Islington. 

With early dreams of pop stardom Lily was signed to Warner Bros in 2002 thanks, in no small part, to her father.  However the partnership was short lived and in 2005 she signed to the lesser known Regal.  Despite reported pressure to release pop songs she instead decided to release her tracks for free download on MySpace.com.  It was through the website that she found fame, becoming a true internet star before even releasing a single.  The buzz created though resulted in a rush release of LDN on limited edition 7" in early 2005.

In 2006 Lily released her debut album Alright, Still to critical and public acclaim, reaching number 2 in the UK charts.  She also released Smile, the track which finally launched her in to the public’s conciousness.  This was followed by a full re-release of LDN.
