Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has been targeting Lily on his US internet column, intimating that her career is on the scrapheap and that she is a terrible role model having been caught smoking while pregnant.

Now the 22-year-old daughter of actor Keith Allen, who suffered a miscarriage last year, has been moved to defend herself: “It’s not true, ask anyone who knows me, I didn’t touch a cigarette or a drink for the few months that I was pregnant.”

She adds on her MySpace page: “I don’t know why this has annoyed me so much. If I’m honest, it’s probably because part of it is true these days: I am more known for being a train wreck than a musician and it does hurt.

“But I’ve been working really hard on my new record; I don’t think it sucks… it’s not fair to say that I’m washed up.”
At ’em, girl.
