Guardian:
The Sun has agreed to pay Lily Allen £10,000 in damages over an article that wrongly alleged she called Victoria Beckham a "monster" and The X Factor judge Cheryl Cole "stupid and superficial".

The reason the Sun was so anxious to pin snarky comments about the whole britpop worship of footballers through being skinny and "hawt" on Lily Allen is that -- if you listen to her lyrics and watch her videos -- you'll know quite clearly that she thinks the whole thing is a load of misogynistic rubbish.
Whereas the Sun is like the bastion of promoting misogynistic rubbish in the UK.
But she doesn't play their game -- she has a way of telling you that britpop culture is a load of misogynistic rubbish without naming names, through her art.
Well, she isn''t following the Sun's misogynistic script of casting any woman with a brain and valid criticism as "mean" and "catty" -- so they make up quotes that paint her as having followed that script.
You see, it can't possibly be that there is something wrong with the fashion centric shallow stupid footballer-balling british bimbos the Sun likes to promote -- oh no, there must be something wrong with the woman who has the balls to point this out.
But the poor Sun! Now they have to apologize and make a payout. I am so crying in my beer for them. LOL.
Nice chunck of change for not too much distress, eh?
1) who is she?
2) why do we care?
3) who is she, again-----
