Actor Keith Allen used his pop star daughter Lily Allen to help him sell drugs when she was a baby. The 54-year-old admits he took her to England’s Glastonbury festival as a “sales tool” to sell drugs and illicit alcohol.

He says, “I didn’t see what was wrong with taking little Lily along with me as a sales tool, rather like the homeless lads do with dogs. Lil sat next to the stall gurgling in her pushchair while I cranked up the sales patter and knocked out the lager.”

I kinda like it!

Lily Allen has been shooting a music video in LA – despite being banned from working in America.

The singer had her working visa revoked on entry to the US over an alleged violent clash with a London photographer in March.

But despite not being allowed to work there, the star was out in LA yesterday filming the video to her next single.

Insiders say she was given special permission to make the film.

Allen, 22, was given an O-1 visa which allows people with extraordinary skills in the fields of sciences, arts, education, business, athletics, motion picture or TV to work temporarily in the US.

Her visa was revoked when she was detained for five hours at LAX airport on Sunday after she flew in from Australia.

In case you were wondering. And she whips it out for you to see. Don’t worry, it’s very PG rated.

The 22-year-old Smile songbird posted a tearful message on her MySpace blog on Saturday, May 12, venting about her body issues, saying that she’s succumbed to “the evil machine” of weight obsession.

She titled the post “fat, ugly and shitter than winehouse.” (Allen often finds herself compared to fellow British “it” singer Amy Winehouse, whose increasingly skinny frame has become drawing concern from her friends.)

The entry reads:

“fat, ugly and shitter than winehousethat is all i am, im on my own in america again. I used to pride myself on being strong minded and not being some stupid girl obsessed with the way I look. I felt like it didnt matter if I was a bit chubby cause, im not a model, I’m a singer. Im afraid I am not strong and have fallen victim to the evil machine. I write to you in a sea of tears from my hotel bed in Seattle, I have spent the past hour researching gastric bypass surgery, and laser lipo suction.”

The singer is well-known for her frank, self-deprecating blog entries. Last month, she announced that she was canceling part of her U.S. tour.

“I am tired , but more than that I don’t think I have been giving my best performances recently,” she blogged. “I have been getting really drunk because i’ve been so nervous about doing bad shows , and I don’t want people spending money on a going to see a show that isnt the best it could be .”

But she was quick to add: “I am not falling apart at the seems , I am not suffering with exhaustion , I am not pregnant , and I am not going to rehab .”
