Lily blames Cheryl, handbags

Lily Allen has apologised for a MySpace rant, blaming comments by Cheryl Cole on Gordon Ramsay's The F Word, and clarifying her Amy Winehouse reference.

I don't think we reported on Lily Allen's recent 'I'm fat and I hate myself' rant on her MySpace page in which she claimed to be contemplating gastric bypass surgery, not that any doctor would agree to that, of course, given that she's not fat. The latest is that she blames Cheryl Cole, nee Tweedy, of Girls Aloud, for her self hate session, because the singer apparently called her a "chick with a dick" when she appeared on Gordon Ramsey's The F Word show recently.

Her latest post apologises for the miserable rant, and adds: "After reading Cheryl Tweedy (nee Cole)'s comments branding me a 'chick with a dick' I was feeling pretty low... Cheryl if you're reading this, I may not be as pretty as you but at least I write and SING my own songs without the aid of Autotune. I must say taking your clothes off, doing sexy dancing and marrying a rich footballer must be very gratifying for you, your mother must be so proud, stupid bitch".

She also pointed out that the hate-rant's subject line, which seemed to be dissing Amy Winehouse - "Fat, ugly and shitter than Winehouse" - wasn't an actual dig at Amy Winehouse , saying: "As for the Amy Winehouse bit, someone sent me a link to a picture blog where there were some paparazzi shots of my brother and there were hundreds of comments from mean, sad people, saying I was a fat, ugly bitch and how much better Amy is than I".

As I'm sure you'll remember, Allen recorded a track called 'Cheryl Tweedy', which actually includes the lyrics "I wish I looked like Cheryl Tweedy".
