Lily insists awards won’t tempt her out of retirement

[1]

The Fear hitmaker Lily Allen won three prizes at the prestigious Ivor Novello Awards in London, but admitted she couldn’t fully enjoy her success because she was too busy worrying about the home she is sharing with boyfriend Sam Cooper.
Speaking after the ceremony, she told Bang Showbiz, “I haven’t finished moving at all. I’m here but I’m also thinking of all the boxes in my kitchen that I need to organise.”
The 24-year-old star, who recently denied speculation she is pregnant, also revealed she was planning a low-key toast to her wins.
She said, “I’m going to go to the pub and I’m going to have half a pint of cider. It’s so hot, that’s all I want, just a half pint of cider.”
Lily, who scooped Best Song Musically and Lyrically and PRS For Music Most Performed Work for The Fear, as well as Songwriter of the Year, insisted her triumph won’t tempt her out of retirement, but she is looking forward to penning songs for other people.
She added, “Will this tempt me to change my mind about retiring? Not really, but I am going to keep writing. I wonder if my writing fee goes up as a result of this. I’m really inundated with work, I’m really busy.”

Ashton admits he was a womaniser
The 32-year-old actor Ashton Kutcher, who wed Demi, 47, in September 2005, has revealed she thought he was a “douche bag,” when they first met because he was known for his eye for the ladies. He said, “We met through a mutual friend. She thought I was a douche bag. I had just gotten out of the shower and walked into the room with no shirt on. I was out of control with women. I seduced women. I was a womaniser. I wasn’t marriage material. I had to prove to her that I was serious. I hung in there telling myself this is the woman I want to be with,” he added.
Ashton insists he knew from their initial introduction that Demi was ‘The One’ for him. He added to website Bettyconfidential.com: “I knew I wanted to be with this person. I knew she would keep me grounded.”
