"He’s checked out her MySpace blog and thinks she’s just the kind of articulate young person the channel needs. It’s early days but he’s very keen," the source said.

One of the ideas discussed was reportedly a documentary series about the pressure on teens to have the perfect body shape.

Lily recently wrote on her MySpace page that she felt fat. "Lily’s really passionate about this subject and she’s a very bright girl," the insider added. "We are keen to do something next year after she has finished recording her new album, which should be ready in May."

Lily Doesn’t Want to be Skinny - July 10 2007
Just weeks after Lily Allen labelled herself as "fat, ugly and sh**** than Winehouse," she insists she doesn’t want to be a "skinny b****".

The London songstress, who has producer a raft of Top 10 hits and recently produced a clothing line for New Look, said she feels happier with her body now. She told Star magazine: "I really don’t want to be a skinny b****.

"I’m not someone who wants to live on a diet. You see Girls Aloud in their skimpy outfits, so you start to assume that that’s the correct way of looking and it isn’t."

She also claims she’s over the episode in which Cheryl Cole apparently called her "a chick with a d***". "I’m over it," she explained. "I had 2,000 people email me to tell me that I should be perfectly happy the way I am.

"I care more about those people than what Cheryl has to say. All she does is sing songs that aren’t even hers..."

Biography

As the daughter of Britpop icon Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen, Lily Allen (born May 2 1985) was destined to be famous. Born in Hammersmith, London, she moved around a lot as a child, living in Ireland’s Co Kildare before eventually settling in Islington.

With early dreams of pop stardom Lily was signed to Warner Bros in 2002 thanks, in no small part, to her father. However the partnership was short lived and in 2005 she signed to the lesser known Regal. Despite reported pressure to release pop songs she instead decided to release her tracks for free download on MySpace.com. It was through the website that she found fame, becoming a true internet star before even releasing a single. The buzz created though resulted in a rush release of LDN on limited edition 7" in early 2005.

In 2006 Lily released her debut album Alright, Still to critical and public acclaim, reaching number 2 in the UK charts. She also released Smile, the track which finally launched her in to the public’s conciousness. This was followed by a full re-release of LDN.
