Lily Allen was out at Nobu last night looking startled, perhaps it was because of all the paparazzi (they're not usually swarming outside places like that)...

Back to Stone, the hippy, dippy and usually barefoot singer has wandered into Allen's recent fight against filesharing, to say:

"Lily is more of a personality than she is a singer. [Lily] needs to sell records because she's not a singer, and that's not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too."

We're not sure if she does but no doubt she'll appreciate being told...

Stone was quick to add that she, on the other hand, is "making real music [and] people [will] come to the show" but for artists like Lily "it's about the track, their personality and their celebrity".

"She's[Lily] not going to win [the] fight [over downloads]. None of us will win that fight. So let's just accept it and see it as something that can be beautiful and might change music for the better. It might sort the weeds from the flowers."

Stone finished by adding:

"Who said that musicians have to be millionaires? Who made this a rule? We don't need that much money. We only need enough to make music, eat and go on tour."
