Following Snoop Dogg's announcement to change his name to Snoop Lion, British singer Lily Allen has also had a name change. The 27-year-old now goes by Lily Rose Cooper!
But this isn't a spur of the moment thing, Allen merely wanted to take her husband, Sam Cooper's last name. The couple, who wed last year, have a daughter together, and will be welcoming their second child, soon.
After taking a break from music, Allen, or I should say Cooper, seems ready to make her return. "It's great to work at my own pace, with no commitments other than to make music, she said. "I'm excited to be heading back into the studio."
Cooper has always been very outspoken, and her celebrity status hasn't made her any less inclined to speaking her mind, no matter who gets trapped in the crosshairs.
"I refuse to put make-up on just because the paparazzi are on my doorstep. I find it morally wrong. I'm just walking to the fucking shop! I don't see myself as a role model; people should look to mothers and sisters as role models." she expressed.
During an interview with Marie Claire magazine, she referred to Kate Moss as a "fucking clothes horse," for getting dolled up for the paparazzi.
