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.
A clip of Lilly at Pink's talking about body image after the jump.

A woman who loves food and says you shouldn't try too hard to be skinny.

MTV Producer: Ok Lily, why don't we have you go down to a hotdog stand and eat a hot dog.
Lily: Ok!
MTV Producer: Ok, now Lily, while youre eating the hotdog, why dont you tell us what you think about these overly thin models nowadays. Oh and be sure to hold the hot dog, you see we want the people to think youre the everyday kind of girl, the girl next door, you're too cool to care. got it?
Lily: ok!
MTV Producer: Great! now lets get a nice clip of you biting into that hotdog, oh and say something subtle about how you just can't resist hotdogs. You know, the whole innocent yet naughty thing.
Lily: Ok!
