Lily Allen’s new single, “The Fear,” starts off with the line “I want to be rich, and I want lots of money,” and lo, the Wall Street Journal has decided to profile her.
Admittedly, the lyric is meant satirically. And also, the WSJ’s piece focuses on the publicity push for her upcoming album, “It’s Not Me, It’s You.”
The story is one of the many to pop up on my radar this week. Check it out below, along with links to articles about Bruce Springsteen’s Superbowl halftime show and Flight of the Conchords’ new material.
