Lily Allen reunited with her dog, Maggie

Lily Allen's little dog, Maggie has returned home, after being dognapped from the back of a van on 28 Dec!

A message on her MySpace page explains she had received a phone call from a man who claimed he had bought the dog to give to as a present to his sister, but agreed to give the dog back for the reward.

Lily Allen wrote, "Once Maggie had been handed over the young men and woman offered to sell more puppies to my friends, which made us realise that these people were obviously in the business of moving dogs."

"Now I feel guilty for having given these people money and contributing to their cruel business but I love that dog and felt I had no choice."

"The fact that she was very thin makes me think she was mistreated - not fed - and the fact she was infested with fleas implies she was kept with other animals... This is now a matter for the RSPCA and the police.

Allen forgot her lyrics during a show!

According to a fan at an all-star show at the Union Chapel in Islington, London, Lily was stumped when she launched into her second song, and had to get her lyrics printed off the internet.

"She performed her first number without any problems, but when it came to the second track 'Everything's Just Wonderful', she just got 'stuck'," he told the Daily Mail. "She just said something like, 'Sorry, I can't remember it. I'll have another go later'.

"She seemed mildly embarrassed but quite jovial. Then she sent someone off for the lyrics and launched into a different song. About five minutes later the assistant came back and handed her a couple of sheets of paper with the lyrics on."
