Lily Allen

Lily Allen, who gets chased all around her hometown of London, recently sought refuge in less aggressive Manhattan. New York magazine’s Jada Yuan reports Allen is holed up in an apartment overlooking the Hudson River, with her record company footing the $10,000 a month bill, so she can “work in peace” on her second album.

All’s not exactly going as planned, though. Allen told the magazine, “We’ve done nothing! All we’ve done is make YouTube videos for other peoples’ songs.” And while few approach her on the streets here, Allen doesn’t know all the New York names either. She said she was a bit sloshed when she performed at Tinsley Mortimer’s party in the Hamptons recently. “I was so drunk I kept calling Tinsley ‘Ashley Winksdale,’ ” said Allen. She also confessed to forgetting Jennifer Connelly’s name when she saw her with Paul Bettany at the Waverly Inn.
