I love Lily Allen. And Lily Allen loves a drink and indulging in bad behaviour, or so the tabloids in the UK are informing us today, with snaps emerging of Lily leaving a venue in Soho and swinging a punch in the direction of an unknown woman (who appears to find the whole thing incredibly amusing rather than threatening).

From the descriptively titled article Wild Lily Allen lashes out at a woman during a heavy night out in the Daily Mail...

Lily Allen threw a punch at a passer-by during a drinking session in London's Soho early this morning.

Witnesses suggested Lily reacted after being heckled as she left Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club at 2am. With a short reach, the punch appeared to fail to connect.

Failed to connect? That's poor fisticuff form, Allen!

 

Lily's target appeared to laugh off the attack, looking more bemused than terrified.

God, that's even more humiliating. Never mind, I would have been frightened of you, Lily.

The Daily Mail conclude that Lily's current state of surliness stems from frustration over record label EMI holding off on releasing her sophomore effort, a situation Lily discussed on the Spazz recently.

Lily is clearly quite cross at the moment. Writing on her MySpace blog, she blamed her record label EMI for delaying the release of her new album.

She wrote: 'The album has been finished for a while now, I don't really know what's going on with it.

'Lots of people have been fired or taken redundancy as the company was taken over by a private equity firm. Many of these people were people assigned to my projects.'

Or, you know, maybe she's still letting off steam after a pretty horrendous start to her year, and hey - as long as her boozy punches aren't connecting with anyone, why not let her?
