METRO Tuesday, September 22, 2009 D The stars you love to love... the stars you love to hate Lily Allen has stepped up her war against online piracy by rallying fellow stars such as Gary Barlow and James Blunt to campaign for artists rights. The singer has now set up a blog on which she is posting messages from prominent supporters of her cause. It follows last weeks outburst against file-sharing which she said was a disaster for emerging artists. She is now calling for a summit to be attended by artists, record companies, internet service providers and the Government to discuss the future. Allen found fame through online music fans when she posted her music on MySpace. A Harding days night Cheryl is the new girl in the hood...

Melinda Messenger has defended fellow ex- glamour girl Katie Price, saying she has been vilified. The 38-year-old said: Its a bit of a witch-hunt at the moment.

The Girls Aloud singer tucked into tequila and champagne as she made the most of the many after-parties. The 27-year-old was still going strong at the end of her night, which saw her straddle a merry-go-round horse in front of fashion experts and get a tattoo of her pet pooch at the party at Claridges Hotel in London. She began her fashion crawl craziness at the Vivienne Westwood wrap party with bandmate Nicola Roberts, JLS star Mavin Humes, socialite Michael Evans and Lady Victoria Hervey. But it wasnt all fun and games as it appears the blonde had a serious message behind her hedonistic binge. She was determined to get her message across about her new bid to save the rainforests. But the trees were soon forgotten when the star raced off to lap up some eye candy at the Next Models party at Automat before she went hardcore down at the Whisky Mist nightclub. There was still time for a spot of matchmaking as Harding introduced her two single mates, Humes and St Trinians beauty Tamsin Egerton.

The choreographer backed his new colleague saying it had taken him, and the other judges, time to perfect their cutting comments of the shows performances. He was speaking after Dixons vow that she would not quit the programme over fans claims she does not have the technical know-how. Dixon, 30, who replaced Arlene Phillips, 66, on the panel, made her debut on Friday. BBC online message boards were inundated with demands that Phillips be reinstated, and claims Dixon did not have the experience to judge. Revel Horwood said: Alesha has got to be given a chance. Shes up there to form a critique and thats what she is doing. Mel B goes commando Mel B almost had a scary moment when she flew back to the UK minus her underwear.
