Lily Allen Quitting Music For Acting Ambition?

Posted: 03 Oct 2009 09:54 AM PDT

Lily Allen had a bit of a busy September. She decided to throw herself headfirst into the ongoing and highly charged debate over filesharing by starting a blog about it, based on the fact she’s against it 100 percent. Then she seemed to announce she was quitting music for good, and then deleted her blog and walked away from the situation completely. What the hell?

Allen’s pronouncement she was quitting music was deleted almost as soon as it appeared on the site, so maybe it was a thing she blurted out on the spur of the moment. But there seems there could be one very good reason for her quitting music, and that is to fulfill her ambition to move into acting instead.

Now magazine claims Allen has been feeling down recently due to a number of reasons. But that her ambition to act could bring her back to her usual self. A source reportedly said:

“She needs a break. Lily’s miserable – a far cry from a few weeks ago when she was the life and soul of the GQ Men Of The Year Awards. She came back from touring South America and told everyone she’s sick of  being famous. She took great umbrage at paparazzi trying to snap her at the airport.”

“Things aren’t going great with Sam [Cooper, her builder boyfriend] – partly because she hasn’t seen  him much lately, but mostly because she’s so low. In private, she’s been going on about acting for well over a year. It’s a big ambition.”

I’m not sure turning to acting is the way to stop being famous and persuading the paparazzi you’re not worth taking photos of. But then that’s just me and my non-fame-seeking state of mind talking. maybe I’ve got it all wrong.

I’d think an easier way of preventing quite so much press coverage coming your way would be to do your job and keep your head down. Which isn’t how Allen goes about things, as she’s known for her outspoken views and expressing those at the drop of a hat.

Could Lily Allen act? Probably, seeing as both her dad Keith and brother Alfie can, so it’s probably in her blood. But she’d be a loss to the British music scene, even if just for her forthright way of talking to the press.
