lily got it right that this obsession with size 0 is just wrong. not all women are size 0′s. but i don’t think it’s right that the average woman is a size 14 or something along those lines. if you were just born that way and your whole family is like that, then there isn’t much one can do about that. but i think getting the average dress size down to somewhere around 10-12 isn’t a bad goal either.

When you're fat, people are less attracted to you. And, yes, I'm a boy, though girls have the same problem. Noboy wants to be less attractive...weight is not as ephemeral an issue as your post implies. I call bullshit on you.

"MTV.com's Discover & Download Presents Lily Allen" or something like that. So to wet people's whistles about the tour and the CD (not out in the US until Jan 30th) they are running those promo dealys. Also, Lily's going to be performing on SNL Feb 3rd with host Drew Barrymore.
