Lily Allen says there is no deadline for her to finish new music: “No one has any anticipation”

Charli XCX has revealed that she wrote some new music for Britney Spears, but said it was never recorded.Late last year, it was reported that the singer-songwriter was working on material for Spears’ comeback album – the pop star’s first since 2016’s ‘Glory’. Charli had previously penned songs for Spears’ 2013 record ‘Britney Jean’, although none made the cut.During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the ‘Von Dutch’ artist confirmed that she had written something new for Spears.“It leaked to the press. Britney then did this post where she was like, ‘I don’t have random people write for me’,” Charli explained.

Lily Allen has claimed that the term ‘nepo baby’ is “sexist”, as it is used for women much more than for men.The term has gained momentum in recent years, and is the title given to the children of famous parents who have been helped in their careers due to their parent’s wealth, connections and experience.Now, the singer and actress has weighed in on the term and described it as both “infantilising”, and sexist as it is used nearly exclusively for women.“’Nepo babies’, I think it’s quite like ‘Karen’, in the sense that it’s just a word that is basically used for women who are taking up space and we’d rather they didn’t and they should just go away,” Allen said on the Miss Me? podcast (via The Independent).“I’m called a ‘nepo baby’ all the time. I actually don’t really mind the nepotism thing, it’s the ‘baby’ that annoys me, it’s like, I’m 40 years old nearly!”She continued, explaining that her relation to her father, actor Keith Allen, gets brought up much more than it does for her brother – Game Of Thrones actor Alfie Allen.“It’s meant to be infantilising.
