Lily Allen in tears after punch up at her gig...

Lily Allen stormed off stage in tears at her gig at the O2 on Saturday night after fans started throwing punches in the crowd. The singer apparently told the crowd, after the two middle-aged men in question had been thrown out, 'It's fucking sick and you lot should be ashamed of yourself.' Aside from the incident, the gig, touted to be one of Lily's last before she retires from music, was a success. Lily also courted controversy however when she dedicated her song 'Fuck You' to David Cameron, who had been quoted as saying he banned his 6 year daughter from listening to Lily Allen because he felt the lyrics contained unsuitable content for children. Lily, apparently, did not appreciate the censorship.

Lil Wayne begins jail term for gun charges...

The rapper Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, began a one-year prison term sentence on Monday. Carter was arrested in July 2007 after a loaded .40-calibre semi-automatic gun was found on his tour bus. The sentence has been delayed twice, first because of dental work he was having done on his bejewelled teeth, and again because of a fire at New York Courthouse. The rapper is said to be keeping positive about his sentence - he could be released in 8 months for good behaviour.
