Lily Allen to Appear on Neighbours

Massive Neighbours fan Lily Allen is heading to Ramsey Street. The British popette will film a guest role on the soapie while on tour in Australia next month.

Lily will make a cameo appearance as herself in a scene with Matt Werkmeister, who plays Zeke.

“I’m freaking out. I’ll be starstruck for sure but will try my hardest to stay professional!” said Matt. “I definitely want her autograph but will probably be too scared, so I’ll ask someone to get it for me.”

If Lily’s such a fan of the show, maybe they could just do a trade?

Bushfire Aid Trumps Lily Allen

The ARIA album charts might say Lily Allen’s claimed this week’s top spot with It’s Not Me, It’s You. But that’s not the whole story.

Bushfire Aid: Artists for the Bushfire Appeal was only on sale for four days of last week’s chart period, yet it outsold Lily’s sophomore effort two to one. But because it is a compilation album, it does not register on the album charts.

“The music industry has united together to support Sony Music Bushfire Aid release,” said Denis Handlin AM, Chairman and CEO of Sony Music. “The support of the artists, songwriters, music companies, music publishers, Sony DADC manufacturing and media partners has been fantastic.”

All artists involved in the project will donate their royalties to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. The double-disc is expected to raise more than $200, 000.

If you don’t have your copy yet, why not? You can pick it up from music stores across Australia or online no matter where in the world you are.

Lily Allen Announces Aussie Tour

Australia loves Lily Allen. Local music fans sent her sophomore album It’s Not Me, It’s You straight to the top of the charts, and now the loudmouthed Brit is heading Down Under to say thanks.

But if you don’t live on the east coast, or you’re under the age of 18, you’re going to miss out. Lily’s announced just three gigs, and a MySpace Secret Show.

Given the small venues and Lily’s massive popularity, I’d get in quick when tickets go on sale March 2 if I were you. Consider yourself warned!

8 June 2009 – Tivoli, Brisbane
9 June 2009 – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney
10 June 2009 – The Forum, Melbourne
