Lily Allen criticises MTV

Lily Allen has criticised MTV for banning one of her videos because it contains swearing.

The popular music channel has relocated the promo clip for Allen's number one hit 'Smile' to late-night airing only because it features the word "f**k".

Allen fumed: "They (MTV) said, 'We don't want kids to grow up too quickly,' but then you have Paris Hilton and the Pussycat Dolls taking their clothes off and gyrating up against womanising men, and that's acceptable.

"You're thinking your kids are gonna grow up quicker because they heard the word f**k than from thinking they should be shoving their t**s in people's faces?"
