She has a few words for Corinne Bailey Rae too

Lily Allen has become embroiled in yet another indie spat, this time lashing out at Aussie rockers Jet and The Streets.

Writing on her blog, the outspoken singer revealed how she got into a drunken row with both bands during her recent appearances at the Big Day Out in Australia.

She wrote: "I wound Chris (Cester) the (Jet) drummer up the wrong way and he flicked a cigarette at me, I then threw a bottle at him which luckily missed and all hell broke loose, I have no recollection of the whole event.

"I also had a big row with from The Streets. I was so drunk I can't even remember what it was about."

According to Allen it was down to her new found friends Kasabian that she managed to get out of trouble.

She added: "The Kasabian boys were dragging me off him, saying: 'Stop it, Lily! You're being an idiot'. They're such a good influence on me."

The singer also admitted that she thinks she has no chance of winning at this year's Brit Awards, despite getting four nominations. She also had a few words for fellow nominee Corinne Bailey Rae.

Allen told the Daily Mirror: "Corinne Bailey Rae? I think she's a bit boring, sorry. She's a lovely girl but I don't think her music stands out and I'd be a bit annoyed if she won Best Female. I'd be really happy if Amy Winehouse wins, though. She's brilliant.

"When I heard about the nominations I felt like it was a bit of a burden. I hate being in competitions 'cos I never win. I'll go home with nothing. I just know I will."
