Lily Allen's been having another rant on her MySpace blog, this time about NME and the recent cool list thingy. She complains that "they sold me down the river when I last talked to them" - when they reported that previously reported cocaine gag. Well, she says it was a joke. Look: "They glorified my joke and used it out of context then their public relations dept contacted the tabloids in a shameful attempt to sell more copies."
She goes on to say that because of the previously reported success of women in the magazine's 2006 'Cool List', she'd been involved in a cover photoshoot with the four other women who made it into the top ten, but then the publication put Muse on the cover instead, which one assumes was a commercial decision (rumours were circulating to that effect earlier in the week).
She wrote: "I went to get a copy yesterday, and this is what we got. Another fuckin' MUSE cover. I don't really think the NME are in any position to tell us who is cool and who isn't. Personally I don't think a bunch of people sitting in an office drinking tea inventing musical genres and watching Nathan Barley DVD's are leading any kind of cool brigade, do you?"
