Lily Allen's publicist has denied that the Smile singer is quitting music.

Allen posted a message on her blog on Thursday saying she had not renegotiated her record contract and had “no plans to make another record”.

However, Allen's publicist has since told the Press Association: “Lily is not retiring from music.

''She is still promoting her current album which is why she said she is not thinking about her next record right now.''

Allen's comments yesterday came just hours before the star attended an emergency meeting of musicians to discuss the issue of illegal file-sharing.

Meanwhile, Allen has come under fire from the Sugababes newest member Jade Ewen.

The 21-year-old singer told the Metro: “I don't really like Lily Allen. She's not that talented and she's always slagging people off which seems unnecessary.”

Ewen was unveiled as the latest Sugababe earlier this week. You can see her shooting their steamy new music video here.
