What to Download: New Music Today
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores. So I take a spin through each week's music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. In addition to my picks below, Lily Allen's new album hits stores today as well.
First Listen: Lily Allen, It's Not Me, It's You
First, let's just take a moment to admire the cover of Lily Allen's new album, shall we? I love the way she's lounging so glamorously on that giant "L." It's self-centeredness of the cutest kind.
Britney vs. Lily: Whose "Womanizer" Is Best?
It certainly doesn't take long for a song to get covered these days! It's only been a few weeks since we first heard Britney Spears's "Womanizer," and British star Lily Allen has just released her own, slightly slowed down version.
I was actually surprised by how faithful Allen's version (which apparently has gotten her in a bunch of trouble with her record label!) is to the original — a few fewer vocal effects, maybe, and a little more downbeat, sort of "Lily Allen sings 'Womanizer' in a piano bar."

Separated at Birth: UK Singing Soundalikes
It seems like you can't turn on the radio or surf the music blogs these days (or walk into a Starbucks, for that matter) without hearing a lady singer who is from the UK and sounds strikingly similar to Amy Winehouse or Lily Allen. It's as if all aspiring British female vocalists born between 1979 and 1991 were only given Dusty Springfield and Etta James records to listen to for inspiration.
Winehouse and Allen reintroduced the "soulful songstress with attitude and distinctive vocals" persona to the mainstream when they took the USA by storm a few years ago.

Song of the Day: Lily Allen Covers "Mr. Blue Sky"
Electric Light Orchestra's "Mr. Blue Sky" is one of my favorite songs ever for the simple fact that it always makes me happy. Lily Allen's recent cover of the song for a French commercial isn't drastically new or different from the original ELO tune, but it's fun to hear her little voice, and there are some funky electronic flourishes that make the cover pretty cool sounding.
Lily Allen to Play Lydia Bennet?
Sounds a little unusual, but the UK arm of MTV's Movie Blog is reporting that Lily Allen will make her film debut as Lydia Bennet in a movie spoof of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Further details on the project are scant, beside a few names reportedly joining her in the cast, like Stephen Fry and Carrie Fisher. Comedian Russell Brand will play her husband.
