"I am not a big fan of the NME , as they sold me down the river when I last talked to them, I did and interview and made a sarcastic joke using the word "gak" which is slang for cocaine. 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. And I have ever since been known as " Lily Allen - Pint sized potty mouth popstar who once admitted she would celebrate her no 1 single by taking cocaine!
"Anyway, I was aproached by them again, with regards to the "Cool List Issue 2006" , five women had made it into the top 10 and, subsequently we (the women) were asked to pose for photos to be the main feature for the cover. As I said before , I vowed not to work with them again, but as the context was so important ie; a a strong female presence in music. I thought i might as well put aside my differences and do it. Now i don't care for " the cool list ", and I said this to them in the interview, which is probably why they didn't print it. 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?"
