Lily Allen makes her big screen debut

It seems that our favorite UK hip-pop princess Lily Allen will stop at nothing to make her fans smile. Aside from delivering her refreshing brand of musical goodness, she has been actively engaging in collaborations with the likes of Common and nabbing a mtvU Woodie of the Year award nomination. Now, Allen is jumping into her first silver screen performance.

Allen is slated to play Lydia Bennett in an upcoming spoof movie of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Supporting cast also includes Russell Brand, who will play the conniving George Wickham, and film veteran Carrie Fisher will take on the role of the overdramatic Mrs. Bennett. As for the leads of Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, no decision has been made yet. Here's hoping Allen’s fellow UK songstress Kate Nash will give it a go.
