Lily Allen is a singer with a sense of humour; an original free spirit who had the imagination to ask if God ‘ever feels suicidal?’

Her other songs focus on all the rest of the shit she sees going wrong with the world and she attacks with savage wit and accomplished rhymes. Here’s her take on drugs in the music business:

‘I’m not trying to say that I’m smelling of roses but when will we tire of putting shit up our noses… It’s meant to be fun and this just doesn’t feel right… So you’ve got a prescription, and that makes it legal. I find those excuses overwhelmingly feeble… The kids are in danger, they’re all getting hurt. From what I can see, everyone’s at it.’.

Lily Allen uses Twitter, Myspace and the media in general to promote her own career and likes to cause a stir by going topless in front of cameras or criticising other singers – but she has the grace to admit:

‘I felt like ‘Oh God, I’m short, fat, ugly and I hate all these people who flaunt their beauty’.

Lily Allen on Twitter is a chatty flow of thoughts and updates.

John Cleese is one of the pillars of British comedy, almost a sacred figure to the English. Still, just say ‘don’t mention the war’ and everyone thinks of the Fawlty Towers episode where he struggled unsuccessfully not to bring up WWII to a German guest at his hotel.

An original member of the Monty Python team, the comics who revolutionsed British comedy with their surreal, anarchic humour. epitomised in films like The Holy Grail and The Life of Brian.

John Cleese came into his own right with Fawlty Towers and the film A Fish Called Wanda where his lanky British awkwardness touched a nerve worldwide.

John Cleese on Twitter isn’t very funny though, not many comedians are off-screen.
