Lily Allen + MTV + LA = Nice Boobs

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

When MTV sees a cash cow it doesn't look the opportunity in the mouth, it gets the artist in cute clothes and in front of the cameras ASAP.

The Lily Allen hype machine has only just begun and LAist is more than happy to be part of the joyful noise.

Why? Because when caught between the just-around-the-corner American Idol machine and the let-sleeping-dogs-lie boy band machine that seems to be hibernating, things could be far worse than Ms. Alllen.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
