Lily Allen compares Ritchie to Heather Mills

London (ANI): Singer Lily Allen has likened Madonna's estranged hubby Guy Ritchie, who 'bagged' 150 million pounds in the couple's divorce settlement, to former model Heather Mills The English TV presenter, compared the Brit director to Mills who was publicly criticized for taking away 25.4 million pounds from Sir Paul McCartney's fortune when the duo split.

"I can't help but wonder why the press haven't attacked Guy Ritchie for walking away with 150million quid of Madonna's," the Daily Star quoted her as writing on her blog. "It was a very different story recently with Heather Mills. It's like one rule for one person and a different rule for another," she added.

By saying so, the 23-year-old songwriter has incurred the wrath of guy's buddy who defended his pal from the 'money-grabber' allegations. He said: "I don't know why she's chosen to get involved. If she reckons Guy is some kind of money grabber she's barking up the wrong tree - or maybe just barking mad.

"He married Madonna because he loved her. Guy didn't want her money. The only aspect of their divorce that's been complicated has been access to the children. They have grown apart - as can happen."

a year and a half ago, Lily Allen was asked who she thought the most over rated pop star was.From that point on the tabloids, had her fighting with a lot of people (MOST OF WHOM SHE NEVER SPOKE TOO OR ABOUT)it just seems like a poor choice to use Madonna (again as an example)for how the press treats people, even though Lily Allen is right, about them(the press) being sexist.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie, are used as an example, when Lily Allen points out that the press is sexist, Her opinion has little to do with them, or what they're like as people, She made the same point last year, that if Noel Gallagher,stays out all night and gets drunk, it doesn't end up in the papers. People always take things to a personal level, more than they should, Lily Allen's information was in the London Times by the way

And where did Lily Allen get that information from? There has been no settlement, certainly not £150m and probably never will be that high. Madonna is not a mug and won't come out of this too bruised but thanked god she finally decided to ditch that idiot!!!
