Lilly Allen is gorgeous

[*Bob*]

These days when your in entertainment, darling, you have to be 'really' good-looking just be considered passable.

This is, of course, in contrast to real life where it seems you only need, say, a relatively level mouth and eyes which aren't crossed in order to consider yourself God's Gift.

How many times have I sat behind distressingly repugnant boys on buses, hearing them declare eg Lily Allen to be 'ugly'. I I mean, have you looked in the mirror lately, mate?

[skidmarks]

Lilly is alright. Myleene Klass does it for me but I guess strictly she isn?t a pop star.

That made me chuckle, we used to say butters when I was in secondary school (early/mid 90s), nice to hear it's still being used!

[wee quinnie]

What does butters actually mean?

[Keef]

It means ugly basically. For the record, I disagree that Lily Allen is butters.

['bout now]

It means everythings ok butter face is shocking.

[HonaloochieB]

Butters is a reference to the Johnny Rotten Country Life butter advert.

Even Johnny's best friends wouldn't describe him as a handsome chap.

And also is it just me or does he emphasise the first syllable of the butter's title?

That's our Johnny, still bringing the system down pound by pound.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Butters has got sod all to do with Mr Lydon (a top gooner) it means butt ugly, hence butters.

Sorry to contradict you AR, but I have it on the best authority from my homies that the Rotten connection is the one that is true.

[RosieH]

Poor Lily, I think she's mighty purty and she has the shiniest hair.

My vote goes to Jarvis Cocker. Nine and a half stone wet through of pure filth.

But if I had to pick a pretty boy, I'm ashamed to say that Lee Meade (who I believe has now brought out an album and is officially therefore a pop star) made me come over all funny when I took my niece to see Joseph. More men should wear loin cloths.

Sorry to contradict you, but that saying was around long before the bug eyed Mr Lydon sold his soul to country life

[PeckhamRose]

I think she has dangerous looking eyes like her Dad; eyes like Jean Reno and Eddie Izzard. Difficult to explain really. Still, I used to babysit her you know. But only when she was a baby. Maybe that should have gone in the "Things you didn't know about forumites" topic. Oh well, it's out there now.

"Do what you want with me,

Hate me and laugh at me

Darken my daytime

And torture my night"

Pure filth, RosieH.

[Moos]

This thread is a revelation to me, I always considered Lily Allen to be a bit of a Plain Jane and assumed she got her record deal because of her dad - well there it is, you learn a new something every day.

[PeckhamRose]

She got her record deals through hard work and word of MySpace. No, seriously. But I bet her Mum (film producer Alison Owen who produced Elizabeth and loads of others) and Dad Keith had something to do with it. Far too many famous kids of famous parents around at the moment!

[Atila Reincarnate]

She' a bit like the osboune kids, only in the public eye because mummy and daddy are famous, same as the waste of space that is Peaches Geldof, who probably takes after her late mama.

Looks-wise, I think she makes a pretty good fist of what she's got.

Music wise, I think someone else makes a pretty good fist of what they get from her.

You're right about Dad though.

[Moos]

I guess it is unfair to call her plain actually - if I saw her in the street I'm sure I'd think she was pretty, it's just that Famousland has a higher set of standards.

Don't think her music's very interesting though and her continual presence in the papers (most recently complaining about her press coverage...hmm..) is a bit tedious. Perhaps I should just duck out of this thread!

[Keef]

Totally with you on Peaches Geldof, but I think Lily Allen has had some great tunes. I do think however, that it can't of hurt her having 2 parents in the business!

I don't mind Jack or Kelly Osbourne, but have huge respect for Aimee Osbourne, who wanted nothing to do with The Osbournes TV show, and seems to want to do things on her own.

[Cassius]

She's a bit blooming porky isn't she? or is chubby a nicer way of putting it? Can you have puppy fat at her age?

I liked Jim Morrison but realise he's a bit of a porker himself - or was - as I guess there is little in the way of flesh hanging off those old bones now!

[annaj]

Porky? Hardly.

She's not stick thin, but she's a long way from fat. The fact that she's regarded as porky or chubby, when in fact she's pretty normal, just shows how distorted our perception of ideal body size has got.

Jim Morrison - now there's someone who's even less interesting than Lily Allen.

[Mikecg]

She has the sort of look of a checkout girl at Sainsbury's, and you think not bad for a checkout girl!.

[Keef]

Quite right! Famous for being dead basically.
