Lily Allen has put down the gauntlet of respect and laid into Radiohead.

The chirpy chanteuse has branded the Oxford braniacs "arrogant" for giving the fans the chance to download their new album ’In Rainbows’ for free.

She reportedly said she thinks it was unfair for the millionaires to devaluate recorded music and survive on touring money when other acts can’t.

Allen said: "It’s arrogant for them to give their music away for free - they’ve got millions of pounds. It sends a weird message to younger bands who haven’t done as well.”

She also rather bizarrely added: “You don’t choose how to pay for eggs. Why should it be different for music?”

It's hard to disagree with that kind of logic.

Ms Allen has much to grow up. She just open her mouth to say rubbish when it's related to importatn artists like Madonna who has 25 years of carreer in music business and Radiohead with theirs 14 years. Both of these artists has name, history and worthy albums, each one by their own hard working. Then comes Ms. Allen (1-2 year) with one album work (boring after a year of hearing it) and thinks she can have the importance of one those names above. Grew up girl!

In all honesty I'm disgusted at myself for even caring. At the end of the day it's Lily Allen, who cares what she has to say? If it was Micheal Stipe out there slagging them off then it'd have some weight. As it is, I don't think her opinions are going to keep them up at night.
