Lilly Allen prefers being a homemaker to A-list celeb star

Brit singer Lily Allen is certainly not hungry for celeb status, insisting she would rather play a homemaker, watch TV and plan babies.

Allen, 25, is currently planning a child with boyfriend Sam Cooper, 32.

“I plan to have children in the next year,” The Mirror quoted her, as saying.

And Allen is even planning to take a hiatus from her music career.

She said: “Because people have stopped buying music…the only way to make money is to tour – and I”m not willing to do that with babies around.

“A part of the way I became who I became was because I was subjected to a certain lifestyle from an early age. My parents hung out with famous people, but we didn”t ­necessarily reap the same financial benefits. So there was a part of me thinking, ”I wanna be like those people.” And once I”d achieved it, it didn”t make me happy.

“So I don”t want to put my kids in that position. I”d rather set up businesses, put a roof over our heads, then move to the country to shelter them for a bit.”

Allen added: “I”m the happiest I”ve ever been. Having Sam around gives me confidence and that I”ve got him to lean on, whereas before I felt really lonely. Like it was me fighting the rest of the world. I don”t feel like I”m fighting anyone any more. I feel pretty levelled out.

“Today is a typical day. I”ll be home by six and I”ll make dinner for Sam, who”ll get back from watching football at nine. I cook something different every night. Tonight I”ll make chicken, lemon and ­coriander parcels. Then we”ll watch Newsnight and go to bed.”
