Lily Allen and Perez Hilton Fight On Twitter

Posted: 17 Feb 2009 10:28 AM PST

Lily Allen, the gorgeous and talented British singer-songwriter, and Perez Hilton, the fat, publicity-seeking, celeb-obsessed blogger have never been what I’d exactly call friends. But their long-running feud has just taken a turn for the worst on Twitter.

For the uninitiated amongst you, Twitter is a micro-blogging social network that allows to to keep in touch with friends and strangers alike, all by using updates of 140 characters or less. It’s also becoming increasingly popular amongst celebrities.

The Twitter fight between Lily Allen and Perez Hilton began when Hilton tweeted:

Is casting the music video for her next single, which she’s shooting in LA. Tell her U think she should have Perez in it!

Allen replied:

oh , I’m sorry , we’ve already cast the jealous and bitter lonely old queen role. Next time eh ?

And then the bitchiness from both sides went into overdrive.

Hilton: Jealous of who? David Beckham, maybe. And if I wanted to be a fucked up Brit, I’d rather be Amy Winehouse - whose got talent.

Allen: god, you’re like so obsessed with me its embarassing.

Hilton: Congrats on your album doing well in America, though. It’s REALLY HARD to sell copies when u discount it to $3.99. Desperate!

Allen: its also number one everywhere else in the world douchebag. Go away you little parasite.

Hilton: Aw, u can see I’ve lost weight! I am a littler Perez. But I’m still a big fat c*** - just like U! That’s why I lova ya. xoxo

Hilton: P.S. Thanks for advertising on my website. I’ll take your money (or the label’s) anytime!

Allen: I know you will, and that’s what makes you a cheap ass whore. Now leave me alone, stop following me, I’m working. Bye x x

Handbags at dawn anyone? Hilton clearly started it and I can’t help but back Allen’s efforts to give back as good as she gets. I’m guessing this won’t be the end of this little spat, even though Allen suggests she’s blocked Hilton.

Part of me does wonder if they’re not actually the best of friends. Both of them, but particularly Perez Hilton, are suckers for manufacturing press coverage. Maybe this is all part of a grand plan to do just that? In that case, I’ve just helped them both in their cause.

If, for any strange reason, you’d like to follow me on Twitter, feel free by clicking ‘Follow’ on my profile. I’m not a celebrity or even a celebrity blogger and most of my updates are quite banal, so don’t expect too much.
