Lily Allen prefers to record in Los Angeles because she hates making her producer leave his family for England – and there are less distractions for her in Tinseltown.

The Smile singer recorded most of her new album – Stuck on the Naughty Step – during her most recent trip to Hollywood and admits she got a lot more done than she would have in her native London. And her producer got to spend time with his family.

She says, “I feel guilty bringing my producer Greg to England, away from his wife… The last trip (he made) wasn’t very productive. I’ve never been good at working in London – too many distractions. (There are) too many people to go out and have lunch with.”

But it wasn’t all work when Allen hit L.A. for work earlier this year – she saw a few movies and checked out Lil’ Wayne at the House of Blues. And for a few nights she stayed in the Chateau Marmont hotel suite where actor John Belushi died.

She quickly downgraded, however, because, “I couldn’t afford it!”
