Lily Allen is Such a Hypocrite

But I'm not sure that's really news

Guess what - Lily Allen has been signed up as the new face and body of Agent Provocateur lingerie. Well, yes, I have to hand it to her: Lily really knows how to make a fool of herself in front of her fans and make sure no one ever trusts a word she says ever again. A couple of months ago, as far as I can remember, the singer was cursing what she called "those skinny-a*sed bitches" (that is, size zero models), and now that she managed to slim down from a UK dress size 12 to a size 8 - the first thing that she does is sign up to star in a lingerie campaign. Yes, she's setting a really good example for young girls everywhere.

For someone with such a big mouth, Lily Allen should definitely eat her own words. Don't get me wrong - I don't think there is anything wrong with losing weight in a healthy way, but I'm talking about attitude here. Just a short while ago, the "Smile" singer claimed she was happy with her curves and with her looks in general - only to prove that her alleged self-content was not exactly her true state of mind.

Lily will follow in the footsteps of Kate Moss, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Dita Von Teese with her campaign for the company, which was shot yesterday and will be released next spring. "The owners of Agent Provocateur, Joe Corre and Serena Rees, are delighted. They feel her natural look will appeal to a lot of women. She's in amazing shape since she lost the weight, and the pictures of her are absolutely incredible". Yes, I'm sure working with the same firm as Kate Moss (not to mention getting a whopping six-figure sum in return) has done wonders for Lily's self-confidence, but has not done much for her image as a role model.

The singer put her weight loss down to hypnosis. "After the hypnotism I want to go to the gym every day otherwise I feel really bad. I just want to get more toned and healthy. I'm really good at the moment - I've never been happier" she recently stated. In an attempt to save at least part of her credibility, Lily insisted that she will never take her weight loss to extremes and has vowed to always stay a healthy weight. "I'll never be a size 0 catwalk model. I have absolutely no interest in that, at all". Sure, she says this now, but just wait until some other lingerie company comes knocking at the door. She'll be switching clothes with Victoria Beckham in six months, tops.
