Lily Allen So Broke She Has to Sell Her BMW

Provocative British pop star Lily Allen is so flat broke she's had to sell her BMW - and the banks won't lend her any more money. Despite having sold millions of records, the star is in such dire financial straits she decided to get rid of her 3-series convertible. "I've been hit big time by the credit crunch," she tells the London Daily Mirror. "Actually, I just had to sell my car because I'm so broke. I bought the car last year and that was probably my biggest extravagance. Clothes too, I'm always buying clothes."

Chanel and YSL are her favorite labels, and Allen is often spotted in the front row of fashion shows, palling around with the likes of Kate Moss, Kanye West and Karl Lagerfeld. "I'm completely skint," Allen says. "I can't even spend on credit cards. I mean, I won't be, as I'm waiting until I get the royalties from the album and all the radio plays but that takes about a year. The banks will usually front your money in that kind of situation but they are not lending at the moment so it's a tricky time."
