This is sad news for all Lily Allen fans (and not only) - the singer has suffered a miscarriage just days after returning home from a romantic getaway.

Lily, who was three months pregnant, and her boyfriend Ed Simons are reported to be “distraught” and in “a state of shock” and were being comforted by family and friends last night.

Allen, 22, had been expecting her first child with Simons, 37, one half of dance music duo The Chemical Brothers, who had taken her for a break in the Maldives.

A source close to the couple said: “Lily and Ed are in a state of shock. The bad news has been really difficult for them to take and they are really heartbroken. Lily’s entire outlook on life changed after she found out she was pregnant. She was looking forward to being a mum and starting a family with Ed. She had turned her back on the party girl image and turned over a new leaf.”

Allen’s spokesman today confirmed the news and said: “We can confirm that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage. She and her partner Ed Simons will be making no further comment.” [Source]

I am so sad to hear this. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lily and her family.

Pregnant pop star Lily Allen has finally quit smoking, with the help of a hypnotist.

The Smile singer, who is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Ed Simons of the Chemical Brothers, managed to kick her 20-a-day cigarette habit after a number of sessions with hypnotherapist Susan Hepburn.

And the 22-year-old couldn’t be happier.

British singer Lily Allen recently confessed that her recent weight loss (she shed 19 pounds in just six weeks) came after doctors ordered her to get fit after they discovered she had a heart murmur (a condition that causes the heart to make unusual sounds during the heartbeat).

“I found out I had a heart murmur about three months ago. I had switched doctors and just went for a routine check up, which is when they discovered I had this irregular murmur. I have been asthmatic all my life, but this was really quite scary. When they asked me how much exercise I did, I had to be honest and say hardly any.”

“I make sure I work out three times a week now, and I don’t hold back. It’s a hardcore routine and I’m usually in the gym for at least an hour-and-a-half.”

“I used to love nothing more than sitting in front of the telly with two packets of Ginger Nuts and two bags of milk bottle sweets - and I’d devour the lot. But this heart thing has made me cut back on all that kind of crap. I now find that, because I am looking after myself, I don’t feel like eating the bad stuff so much.”

“I really want to stress that I haven’t done this because I want to become some skinny minnie - I will never be like that. I just like being more toned, it has made me really happy and I know I will never be super skinny because I would never be happy. I don’t understand people who are crazy thin and deprive themselves, they must be miserable.” [Source]

Lily seems to really care about her health, so she should quit smoking too!

Singer Lily Allen has slimmed down from size 12 to size eight after a few sessions with hypnotist Susan Hepburn, who she claims has reprogrammed her brain to enjoy healthy organic food and associate trips to the gym with feeling happy.

“After the hypnotism, I want to go to the gym every day, otherwise I feel really bad. I just want to get more toned and healthy. I’m really good about everything at the moment - I’ve never been happier.”

Hypnotist Ms Hepburn runs a Harley Street clinic specialising in self-improvement techniques. She charges about £300 an hour for weight-loss treatment, including instruction on self-hypnosis.

Those who have undergone the treatment claim that she implants subconscious messages that remind them to stop eating when they feel full.

Ms Hepburn also teaches clients to associate healthy activities, such as working out in the gym, with happiness.

Ms Hepburn said: “Lily was great, a really nice girl. I’m glad I could help.” [Source]
