Lily Allen, the puckish English singer most famous for tracks about she loves London and why her ex sucks, will now host "Lily Allen and Friends" on BBC Three starting next year. However, the concept for the show is based on MySpace. Here's a clip from after the jump: "Blending chat, music and celebrity interviews....the show will be based on the social networking phenomenon sweeping the world. Paying homage to internet sites like MySpace and Facebook, viewers will be invited to become Allen’s virtual friends and will then be able to contribute to the show’s discussions and put questions to the singer’s guests."

This comes days after the rumor that Allen will replace Kate Moss and be the new face of Agent Provacateur, the international lingerie chain.
