Lily Allen is both disgusted and impressed by the 26-year-old heiress - who recently spent 23 days in jail for driving with a suspended licence - at the same time.

She told Britain's Star magazine: "Paris is hideous, but I think she's amazing at the same time. I love her."

Lily also revealed she is a big fan of 'The Simple Life', the US TV show Paris stars in with her close friend Nicole Richie.

The show sees the two friends take on a series of different jobs, including being farm hands, cleaners and fast food workers.

Lily said: "I think 'The Simple Life' is genius. I can never figure out if Paris plays up for it or not."

Lily Allen has hailed as Kate Moss a heroine, after the supermodel protected her during a fight.

The Smile singer was attacked by a gang of girls after being wrongly accused of sleeping with a one of the group's boyfriend at English music festival Glastonbury.

When Moss witnessed the furore, she stepped in to halt the chaos.

Allen says, "They beat me up. They stabbed me in the ear with a beer can and cut my eye open and I had two black eyes."

"It was a nightmare."

"I only have nice things to say about Kate. She actually jumped to my defence. Kate stood in and said, 'Stop being so mean.' So I have nothing bad to say about her, she's only ever been lovely to me."
