Lily Allen Denied by America

Posted Aug 7th 2007 12:11PM by TMZ Staff

Lily AllenIn an effort to crack down on foreign workers taking jobs from good, hard-working Americans, U.S. authorities have stripped Brit pop star Lily Allen of her work visa and put her upcoming American tour in jeopardy, reports the Daily Mail. If need be, Kelly Clarkson is available on short notice.

Allen was reportedly detained on Sunday by Los Angeles Customs officers as she arrived for the MTV Video Music Awards nominations and to shoot a video with Kanye West. According to the British paper, Lily was arrested and subsequently "cautioned" in London last March for assaulting a photographer, thus her problem here in the states. Wanker!

"Lily doesn't know why it happened, she is quite shocked," her spokesperson told the Daily Mail. "She's due back in the UK at the end of the week to continue work on her second album, and we're sure all this will be sorted out in time for her American tour."

Lily is supposed start her U.S. tour in San Diego on September 6.

11.
They should bar this uglly little skank from coming to the U.S. until she learns how to behave socially. She needs to go back to charm school and learn some manners. They want to come here, make money and then trash our culture.
She's a skanky no talent whore looking thing.

They should send that skanky skinny and disgusting amy winehouse back too. We have enough crack whores of our own to look at, we don't need foreign crack whores too.

13. to say that Mexicans come here to rape, steal and pillage is the most insanely racist thing that leaves no question as to why many countries in this world hate the US - it is for arrangant and closeminded people such as VAL that give our entire country a bad name. If you read the article Lily Allen was denied a workers visa because of legal troubles in the UK, not just because they decided that they would prefer to have illegal immigrants instead of singers.
