Lily Allen: I wasn’t complementing Cheryl Tweedy

Monday August 21st, 2006 at 1:18 pm by Heather

Lily Allen has claimed that Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Tweedy missed the “tongue in cheek” nature of getting a mention in one of Lily’s songs.

The song, named after Cheryl, was included on Lily’s number 1 single “Smile” and included the lyric a reference to wishing “I looked like Cheryl Tweedy“, which Cheryl took as a complement.

Cheryl said: “I’m really flattered Lily’s written a track about me. But I don’t know why she sings about wanting to be as pretty as me as she looks stunning. I’d like to look like her. It’s about time we had a really cool British girl out there on the music scene.”

But Lily has pointed out that Cheryl missed the point: “I don’t want to look like Cheryl Tweedy! It’s tongue in cheek, it’s meant to be ironic.”

“I don’t have anything against her as a human being but I think the portrayal of her being the right thing for kids to look up to is wrong.

“It was a joke that not many people got. Of course nobody really wants to look like Cheryl, they just think they do.”

Neither Lily or Cheryl are known for keeping their opinions or grudges out of the public eye so this one might run and run…

why is lily always so rude? what does she think of herself? besides, she isn’t particularly good looking is she?
her music is alright but she’s really annoying.

To be honest, I think Lily Allen looks stunning. Cheryl tweedys music isn’t on the same level as Lilys! Lily Allen has a personality whereas Cheryl tweedy is a rude, talentless w***e.

I love the way Cheryl was stupid enough to think that Lily was complementing her!
Isn’t that enough to prove she’s as thick as s**t?

Oh and LOL at “… to be as pretty as me…”
VAIN!
Oh and Cheryl, You’re an ugly b***h!

i agree with u 100% ! cheryl pretends that she doesnt think she’s that good looking but you can tell she thinks she’s the prettiest girl 2 walk the earth, she reckon’s every1 fancies her! she is such a t**t lol when i first saw girls aloud I honestly thought cheryl was the worst looking, kim is blatently prettier! Cheryl can rot in hell the stuck up b***h she thinks she runs her group aswell,see her on friday night project? she’s not even funny or cool and she’s a mediocre dancer with a hairy face + stomach. I hate that arrogant snobby tart, wish she neva came 2 the limelight cos she’s pointless and a waste of space p.s NOT jealous AT ALL! she doesnt deserve all this attention

natty July 24, 2007 10:31

cheryl is annoying as hell! she is so far up her own ass its unreal she reckons she owns the music business the stupid thick s**t! her nose is like a parrots beak but 4 sum reason people think shes the epitome of beauty (she even sed in an interview she doesnt need makeup…seriously she sed that!) she’s like an F-list celeb who thinks she should be A-list so the world can see her apparent beauty your a talentless w***e cheryl and you dont deserve 2 be even slightly famous, she should be mopping floors in a cafe and married to an average cheapskate not a rich footballer (hu she agen married for fame) ATTENTION SEEKER! I hope she slags off tatu cos they’d knock her out in a second! she cant sing she’s overrated and she hopefully wont get any further in life. one day she’ll get whats coming to her

Michelle September 05, 2007 05:13

I agree with u guys totally. I’ve never really liked Cheryl…especially after hearing her attack another woman at a nightclub. She’s big headed and i dont know what guys find attractive about that……..looks can fade…..while personalities stay….no talent what soever. I like Lily Allen, even though she does make a show of herself sometimea! But at least she has got a personality and not vain like Cheryl. Lilly Allen all the way! xxxx

Bel September 18, 2007 22:38

how is cheryl not pretty though? shes gorgeous. just because she isnt typical white it doesnt mean she cant be pretty. sounds like you guys are jealous… just like lily

David October 24, 2007 18:29

Cheryl has to be the most over-rated woman in the world when it comes to looks. You see girls that look better in your local pub on any given night. Nadine and Kim are far far sexier.

It also pisses me off that she slags off talented singers like Lily Allen or Charlote Church when the geordie chav has ZERO talent herself. Shes a horrible person basically.

Stacey May 18, 2008 22:18

Cheryl is mint! and is stunning sh pisses on Lily! ha

kevin July 11, 2008 00:06

Honesty, can be painful, especially for Lily Allen (she gets misquoted a..lot)Some people do agree, Yeah, Madonna is over rated and bitchy/demanding. Cheryl Tweedy fake (the fact that Lily Allen wrote a song about it shows she has a sense of humor!)and because she compared Lily Allen to a man (clean version)Victoria Beckham is not a good role model because it teaches young girls to set there goals too high too soon ME I agree 100%

kevin November 04, 2008 19:21

Lily Allen has talent! no doubt about it! However, she gets enough, controversy in the press and should not look for it by making comments or writing songs about people, that don’t matter (like Cheryl Tweedy Cole, or Madonna) these people are just show pieces, without song writing talent, that have there music pumped through a machine (Auto-tune)Madonna is not even a good singer, and I really don’t know who Cheryl Cole, but I have heard of Girls Aloud and there fake. Still Lily Allen needs to keep her roar, down to a minimum.

Marc November 28, 2008 15:02

Cheryl is mad pretty! shutup you jealous lot! NADINE and Kimberley have Oversized foreheads look wack as hell!

Cheryl has the best smile and the sexiest dimples!!! Its true so get a life!

Sean November 28, 2008 15:08

What?! I wish i saw a girl that looked like her in my local pub!!!

She’s fine looks latino with a blinding smile!

Alice December 27, 2008 23:09

Err, she’s better looking than that girls aloud singer. I’d take Lily over her any day – and her songs are good too!!

Lily allen is a worthless stuck up little b***h.She’s so ugly and she cant sing a note in tune.Listen to her new ‘song’ the fear.Its f*****g s**t.

carrie February 06, 2009 09:17

Cheryl has so much talent and is soo good looking.Shes got much further in life than Lily f*****g allen, who has zero talent and is 100% chav. Cheryl is NOT stuck up her ass and is NOT overrated. All my mates hate Lily allen and I think she’s a thick talentless w***e and no she cant sing atall.I have heard dogs howling in a dog pound more in tune than her singing.I hope Lily allen dies, shes a nasty spiteful cow and she’s dead jelous of georgeous Cheryl,just like you haters of Cheryl out there so piss off!

sophia February 06, 2009 09:24

I totally agree Carrie.Cheryl is absolutely stunning.Lily allen looks like something pulled out of a public litter bin.She’s totally gross and has a vile attitude towards her fans and other celebrities.Cheryl is one of the most famous ladies in Britain and she’s proud of it.Oh and ellie you can suck on your mums pussyhole.I think your jelous of Cheryl and all you haters know it.Talent wise Cheryl is in the lead by a clear distance.She and her group have had over 18 no.1s and Lily well HAHAH.

mark and jess February 06, 2009 09:30

Cheryl cole has tons of talent and ahs a fantastic future ahead of her.Lily allens just a girl from a s**t bin trying to make records.She’s just a bunch of filthy grubby s**t.AND CHERYL IS NOT LILY’S ONLY VICTIM! Lily has spat discraceful words towards MADONNA,PEACHES GELDOF,BRITNEY SPEARS AND COLDPLAY!All of these people are better are more talented than her(even peaches f*****g geldof) so what does that tell you!

john June 14, 2009 07:12

just browsing the web and came across this site.dont you think this cheryl and lily thing is just showbiz publicity.good luck to them both,by the way it was gordon(IM A COOK,IM SO HARD)ramsey who got cheryl tweedy(COLE)to repeat parrot fashion that lily allen was a’CHICK WITH A DICK’(SEE REPEATS OF GORDON RAMSEYS F WORD)and she did seem genuinely suprised when she realised what gordon ramsey had asked her to repeat his words about lily allen.so at the end of the day its good publicity for both of them.so if cheryl tweedy(COLE)mistook lily allens ’IRONIC’song as a compliment,then so did lily allen take gordon ramseys words he got cheryl tweedy(COLE)to unwittingly repeat as an insult.its called showbiz publicity,lets face it real musicians/singers dont need the tabloid gossip columes or tv to promote their musical ability,they LET THE MUSIC DO THE TALKING!by the way,their both stunning looking in their own way.

tbh, it sounds like your all jelous, how can you call cheryl a stuck up snob and everything when you have never met her you dont know her, all you know is what the media tell you, which is usually a load of s**t! kevin, how can yousay that madonna isnt even a good singer, shes probably one of the best known singers. if she didnt have talent she wouldnt be where she is now. Lily Allen is just a gobby cow in my opinion. tbh i think shes just jelous that she doesnt look like Cheryl, i dont understand why you are calling her fake, she is not fake. shes just apsolutely stunning. and NATTY. how the f**k can you call her annoying, have u ever met the woman. so you know what she is like. no u f*****g dont! in my opinion you are all jelouss.
cheryl is apsolutely gorjj,
and she has been my role model, all my lifee.

LozziieeLobstaa :) November 16, 2009 22:07

lily allen is a b***h! cheryl didnt even SAY that about her , she only repeated what gordon said and for lily to come back with a thing so mean as what she said it just proves she has no sense of humor or talent! cheryl was only joking, and most of this argument is based on jokey comments that they have taken the wrong way!! cheryl was being really nice to lily by calling her stunning and saying that she wanted to look like her (when its blatently obv. she doesnt, who would if u looked like cheryl cole?!) and all lily did was take the piss! if u had a song written about you like that would you be flattered or automatically think ‘this is some kind of a sick joke’ ??? girls aloud music is 100x better than lily’s sad excuse for what she calls music
forgive me if im wrong but the only true b***h im seeing her is LILY ALLEN
not cheryl cole
cheryl cole i love you so muchhh my idol xxx

Mrs.S.Myles December 24, 2009 01:48

Lily is an UGLY SKANK, just what the hell?! ‘I don’t have anything against her as a human being but I think the portrayal of her being the right thing for kids to look up to is wrong’ F*cking douche! You dropped outta school without a single GCSE, is THAT something kids should look up to?! Damn UGLY SKANKY NASTY CHAV, can’t sing for sh*t, might as well go back on the street! You dress like a sket, drink at your concert + smoke weed, EURGH! “I was an angry child, I was naughty. I did bad things with boys, I was smoking, I got in fights.” Mm-hm, some role model you turned out to be, stupid b***h.

Who was voted 7th in FHM’s sexiest women 2008 and was sexiest female in 2009? who has has 20 top 10 including 4 number 1 singles? and had the fastest selling debut solo single of 2009? the statistics speak for themselves and im sure there are plenty more where these came from. Lilly allen is a nobody compared to Cheryl cole!

Lily Allen is gorgeous…
she has a style and a music all her own.

She doesn’t try to make anyon happy.

if she dislikes Cheryl Tweedy then there is a reason to dislike her.
No one just randomly names a song after someone in a negative way for no reason…
Lily Allen never does anything for no reason….

this is big.
people are pissed and there is always a reason when people are this pissed.

woopiee February 18, 2011 14:31

Cheryl cole needs to go and sit down honestly.
The only reason shes famous is because of bumlicking Simon Cowell. Lets be honest now Lily Allen can win a singing competition against Cheryl Tweedy Cole – ANYDAY. The think is cheryl cant really sing…Her songs are okay, but they have defo been autotuned and when she sings live, its just tragic.
She may be attractive – yes, but certainly not beautiful – attractiveness and beauty are two very diffferent things.
Shes fixed her teeth, got fake hair, uses fake tan, fake nails, tonnes of makeup – and a lot of money to make her look good. Without all of that I dnt think she would be anything special at all – so jam your hype on her. Not being jealous, but being honestly real.
