Lily Allen sheds her wild image... for now

She's famous for outrageous outbursts and occasionally wild behaviour, but pop singer Lily Allen proved she can turn on the charm during an angelic appearance at MTV's TRL programme in New York.

Looking polished and fresh faced, the singer played coy and smiled sweetly throughout the show.

It's a scratch! Lily Allen worked overtime to be on her best behaviour

It might be a sign of things to come - Allen has spoken of her plans for a more subdued lifestyle, saying she hopes to curb her excessive drinking.

She told New magazine: "I have been getting really drunk because I've been so nervous about doing bad shows."

"It's not good and that's why I want to get back into the studio. I've actually pulled myself aside and said it will kill me if I keep it up."

Allen recently experienced a high profile meltdown, calling herself "fatter and uglier" than Amy Winehouse, and threatening to have liposuction in a MySpace post.

Despite cancelling parts of her US tour, Allen is continuing efforts to crack the American market, where her album has sold around 30,000 copies.
