When the new TIG layout was created, a special category was created called "crushes," which I assume means that I'm supposed to use it to post new Lily Allen videos when they become available.

This video is for the song "22", one of the catchier, moralizing songs from her fantastic album It's Not Me, It's You (the other one is "Everyone's At It"). One of the things I really love about Allen is that when she delivers a moralistic message, it's given out empathy not condescension.

Here's she singing about a scenster who spends her life out at clubs while life is passing her by ("she's got an alright job, but it's not a career") and in this video, Allen plays that character herself. You can watch it after the jump.

Some wildly clever people found a way to make a video to Lily Allen's super-catchy song "Fuck You" that can air on television. It's really a cute and fun video, so I had to post it.

Lily Allen plays at the Showbox Sodo with Natalie Portman's Shaved Head tonight.

I just found news of a recent Lily Allen MySpace blog post that has me saying BRAVO Lily -- for both her wise admission of being embarrassed about her inebriated state at the recent Glamour Awards and beautiful pink hair-do.
