I did NOT need to see this first thing in the AM

What. The. HELL?


Lily Allen has been banned from the US after being stopped at Los Angeles airport.The singer had her US visa cancelled after being held at an American airport, locked in a cell and strip-searched, reports The Mirror."I am trying everything I can to sort this out. I don't like letting my fans down," explained Allen. "It is my intention to play my American dates in September. This depends on authorities granting me a new work visa."

She added: "I want my fans to know that I will do everything I can to be back in America in September. I don't like letting my fans down and this is a situation that I am sure we can sort."She was challenged by US custom and immigration officers at Los Angeles international airport on Sunday (August 5).



My ongoing problem with US customs officials continues unabated.

WE CAN LET WAR CRIMINALS MOVE FREELY ABOUT THE COUNTRY (well, we do seem to produce a lot of them) BUT LITTLE TINY BRIT POP STARS LIKE LILS AND WEE THE VIEW LADS ARE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR WAY OF LIFE?

Give me a fucking break. Grrrrrr.......

update- Never mind. Damn you, NME. I'm still pissed about The View, though.

Someone - Perez? - posted that her manager said this wasn't true. So hopefully it wasn't true.

It is pathetic that so many bands have had visa problems lately.
