One Week Into “I Slimmed Down For My Health” Campaign, Lily Allen Capitulates To The Blokes Mags’ Steely Gaze

Well, that was short-lived, wasn’t it?

Last week, Lily Allen explained away her new figure as the byproduct of her new health regime after doctors diagnosed her with an irregular heartbeat. She was very careful not to make it out that she thinks thin is better, or that she thought her body was “wrong” or “bad” before the overhaul, or that she did it for anyone else’s benefit.

Presumably Lily will be eating those words with fava beans and a nice Chianti now she’s plastered all over this month’s UK edition of GQ.

She explains how many of her high profile feuds – she has rowed with the members of Girls Aloud among others – were fueled by insecurities about her appearance.

She told the magazine: “A lot of that stuff I said was because I didn’t feel confident.

“I felt like, ‘Oh God, I’m short, fat, ugly…and I hate all these people who flaunt their beauty’.

“Ever since a kid I’ve felt like I’m possibly the uncoolest, naffest person ever to walk the earth.”

Right, so she thought she was fat and ugly, and now that she’s skinny and hot, the best thing to do would be to celebrate that within the pages of a glossy men’s magazine?

Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?
