Lily Allen has hit out at the photographers who took topless pictures of her while she was on holiday in France – insisting there is “nothing professional about them”.

The Smile singer was snapped relaxing in only a pair of blue bikini bottoms at a French resort during the Cannes International Film Festival last week – and her semi-naked form quickly made the headlines.

The star claims she is not ashamed of sunbathing topless, but insists there is nothing noble about being a prying paparazzo.
She writes on her MySpace internet page, “Occasionally I drink wine with lunch and yes I swim topless, this in my book is not embarrassing behavior.

“I’m 23 years old, it’s not my fault if photographers follow me everywhere and need a story to print with their pointless pictures. I wish digital cameras hadn’t been invented, if these photographers had to pay for film, it wouldn’t be worth their time. There is nothing professional about them, most of them look like they wouldn’t be out of place at a BNP (British National Party) meeting.”
And Allen goes on to deny stories that she was ejected from Formula One boss Flavio Briatore’s yacht for drunken behaviour.

She adds, “I don’t really like to respond to things I read about my self in the press but, for the record, I was not thrown off anybody’s yacht in Cannes.”
