Between that video and the name calling it's safe to confirm that Lily Allen's well and truly given up on her early retirement.

A lot of people seem to be confused over her overuse of the term 'bitch', so she's decided to clear things up by insisting she's 'reclaiming' the term. You know, much like how female pop stars insist on stripping off because it's "empowering".

Speaking to the Observer, she said: "Dolly Parton is a bitch. Adele's a bitch. Angela Merkel is a bitch… Rihanna's an inspiring bitch, my mum, Miley's a bitch, rising. She's my hero... Kate Middleton is NOT a bitch."

Ooooh, burn. Try not to be too upset about not being compared to a female dog, Kate. In fact, why not seek solace in the fact that Lily finds Rihanna "inspiring" and Miley something of a "hero". Speaks volumes.

In the article, Allen went about dissing another Kate, saying: "I've always been called 'mouthy', when, in fact, I'm just talking. In the music industry, women have always been controlled by male execs, told to do the Kate Moss thing. Keep your mouth shut, or people will laugh at you."

Try telling that to Madonna and Grace Jones.
