Kelly Osbourne launches scathing attack on Lily Allen
By Lucretia Munro, London Lite Last updated at 13:42pm on 09.09.09They are both young, opinionated and highly unlikely to back down from a fight. So it's time to batten down the hatches now that Kelly Osbourne has launched a scathing attack on Lily Allen — suggesting the singer had no input in her New Look fashion label.
Target: Lily Allen was criticised for her Lily Loves clothing line
Kelly, 24, told us last night at the GQ awards: “The wardrobe department on Dancing With The Stars are teaching me how to sew, but I don't think I'm ready to bring out a range of clothes yet at my age.
“I know Lily Allen has done it but I want to do it all by myself and not just attach my name to it. That's not fashion to me. I could do that now if I wanted to. If I were to produce a range I wouldn't even call it my name.”
Just so we're clear on what that last comment means, Lily, also 24, launched her range for New Look in 2007 under the name Lily Loves.
Scathing: Kelly Osbourne was on the warpath last night
Lily and Kelly are renowned for their lightning-fast reactions to criticism, so if you're having trouble getting onto the internet in the next couple of days, it'll be because of their increased tit for tat Twitter traffic.
Both were at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards last night, at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, but we didn't spot them chatting together.

I wouldn't say it was a scathing attack. It was just her opinion which everyone is allowed to have.

You can understand Kelly though , cant you , I mean when someone like Lilly Allen is everything you're not , like , for instance , talented and beautiful , and liked by ever such a lot of people , and made a success of herself in spite of her dad , instead of ( as in Kellys case ) only because of her dad , well , its not fair is it ?
