Lily Allen admits she resented ‘mean’ Elton John after writing emotional letter – which she forgot to send
Lily Allen spent years hating on Sir Elton John after thinking he blanked an emotional letter she sent him.
The Smile singer was managed by a company he owned for a few years, and they would regularly talk.
Elton even offered her his home in the South of France to stay in during a tricky period.
She poured her heart out in a note to him when she left his management company and was devastated when he didn’t respond.
Lily explained: “Over the next few years as my life began to spiral out of control, I held much resentment for the fact that I’d made myself very vulnerable in this letter and told him all about my sobriety.
“He’s a sober person so I thought he would have responded to this letter.
“I was quite cross with him for a few years. I thought it was mean of him.”
But she added on her Miss Me? podcast: “Then, when I moved here to America, I was unpacking and I found the letter.
“I hadn’t sent it. I’d been harbouring all of this Elton resentment.”
Awkward.
Cheek out Bey
The bottom line is Beyonce racked up more than a million likes when she shared pics of herself in this pair of cheeky chaps.
She put the photos of the grey cowboy outfit on Instagram.
The Texas Hold ’Em singer didn’t even seem to have a reason for getting all dressed up, as she posted the images without a caption.
Fresh from the success of her latest album Cowboy Carter, fans are poised for her to announce another tour, following on from 2023’s sell-out Renaissance dates.
But given those were so popular, getting tickets for her next tour will likely be even harder.
Boot it like Beckhams
Cruz Beckham is a fan of the bootiful game – just like his mum Victoria.
Posh has been wearing a surgical boot since February when she fractured her foot.
Now her lad is sporting one too.
He was out and about in London at the weekend but seemed to be able to move without crutches – so it doesn’t look like anything too serious.
Have the Beckhams got uneven floors in their house or something?
Drake in Ken feud fake tales
Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s feud is rumbling on for another day, with the latter dropping an extra track badmouthing his rap rival.
The Heart Part 6 was released in the early hours of yesterday, and in it, Drake claims to have secretly fed fake stories to Kendrick for his diss tracks, such as the claim the Canadian star has a secret daughter.
In the song, Drake raps: “We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information, a daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it.”
He also slams Kendrick for referring to him as a “paedophile” on his song Not Like Us at the weekend.
Drake, above, replies: “I’ve never been with no one under age, but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with.
“Just for clarity, I feel disgusted. I’m too respected. If I was f***ing young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested.”
At least that’s cleared up.
Rita’s got some Y-front
Rita Ora hadn’t even made it to the Met Gala red carpet . . .
But 24 hours before fashion’s biggest night, she was already making sure that all eyes were on her.
The R.I.P. singer wore this checked coat over a top and pants as she left her hotel for a clothes fitting in New York.
Loads of celebrities jetted into the Big Apple ahead of the annual fashion bonanza, which was due to get under way in the early hours of this morning.
I’ll bring you all the gossip tomorrow.

Rebel Wilson says she did not originally use weight loss drug Ozempic to shift 35kg.
But she told the Diary of a CEO podcast: “I wish I had known about it in 2020.
“If I’d known about it, I would have tried it, 100 per cent.”
She took it after having her daughter in 2022 and added: “I was very worried that the weight would come back on.”
