Lily Allen's TV show fails to attract viewers
Lily Allen's new talk show failed to attract a significant number of viewers, when it aired as part of BBC3's re-launch on Tuesday night.
The pop singer has turned TV presenter with 'Lily Allen and Friends', yet the high profile TV show attracted just 255,000 viewers, around 2% of the audience share according to reports.
The first night guests were Hollywood actor Cuba Gooding Jr and comedian David Mitchell.
Despite the figures a spokeswoman for the digital channel said: "It's a solid start for the show. It's only the first one but it performed really well with the 16-34 age group."
Some audience members were reported to have walked out of the recording because they were so bored.
But Allen, 22, wrote in her MySpace blog: "The audience were great, standing in a hot studio for two hours watching me fluff my lines is not my idea of fun, but they seemed to enjoy it."
She continued: "Due to it being the first show we've done, we ran over a little and naturally a small number of the audience had to catch the last trains back to wherever they came from."
Allen recently suffered a miscarriage and said she was "trying to get back to normality after what has been a rocky start to the year".

My Morning Jacket slips into touring outfit
My Morning Jacket [ tickets ] will follow its coming European road trip with an extensive North American tour as the group lines up support behind its forthcoming new studio LP.The tour kicks off Aug. 16 in Louisville, KY, hitting 25 cities on a trek that winds into October.

The disc adds funk beats and synthesizers to the band's typical psychedelic southern-rock sound, according to various interviews."On the first listen, there's a lot of variety in a lot of different places, but I think after repeated listens, hopefully the listener would understand the similarities more than the differences," frontman Jim James recently told MTV News.The new record follows MMJ's 2006 live set, "Okonokos," which features 21 tracks and is accompanied by a DVD concert film of the same name. My Morning Jacket's most recent studio offering, "Z," was named the best album of 2005 by LiveDaily's critics.

Farrell feared ruining In Bruges
Colin Farrell has revealed he initially turned down the lead role in his forthcoming movie because he feared his presence might take away from the film.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Farrell said that he felt the producers of 'In Bruges' were making a huge mistake when they asked him to star in the movie.
The star went on to say that he was thrilled to be approached for the film, which also stars Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes, but he became concerned that his reputation would overshadow the quality of the script.
Farrell said he begged the movie's writer and director, Irish Oscar winner Martin McDonagh, to cast an unknown actor in the role. McDonagh however was determined to have Farrell on board.
Farrell told the Hollywood Reporter: "I was chuffed to be part of it. It was just the best thing I ever read. But your public persona, people bring that in. And I met [McDonagh] in New York at the Hilton Hotel one afternoon and I tried to convince him he should cast an unknown in the part ... It was so good, I thought it would be good not to cast me."
'In Bruges', which tells the story of assassins who are forced to hide out in Belgium, will open this weekend's Dublin International Film Festival. It goes on general release from 7 March.
