Lily Allen: 'I'm completely skint'
Friday 06 March 2009
If you have been feeling a little bit bitter about the super-wealthy celebs happily splashing the cash while the rest of us are struggling with the credit crunch (Hate. That. Term. So. Much.), this story will cheer you up!
Gobby singer Lily Allen is, according to herself, having a bit of a tough time financially - thanks to the recession!
The 23-year-old whinged: "I am completely skint at the moment. I can't even spend on credit cards. Actually, I just had to sell my car because I am so broke."
Apparently Lil's lack of cash is down to the economic crisis - the singer is still waiting to receive her royalties from her new album and radio plays, which might take around a year to come through.
She says: "The banks will usually front your money in that kind of situation but obviously they are not lending at the moment, so it is quite a tricky time."
And with a penchant for boozy nights and designer clothes, it looks like Lily will have have to seriously cut down on her spending.
