Teen Lily Allen Wasn’t Cute Enough For First Label

A former employee of London Records tells The Daily Star that Lily Allen was dropped by the label six years ago at the age of fifteen because she didn’t have the right look, a move the label no doubt regrets now that she currently rules the UK singles chart with ‘Smile’. “Back then, she had a funny face and it all looked too challenging,” according to the insider. “We wanted pretty girls who were instantly marketable. So we got rid of her because she wasn’t one of those.”
