Lily Allen In "Serious Trouble" Over Womanizer Cover Version

Lily Allen says her cover version of 'Womanizer' by Britney Spears has landed her in trouble with her record label.
Producer and friend Mark Ronson played the cover on his radio show last week (December 13), which has since been ripped and leaked on to various websites by fans.
Allen explains her decision to cover the single on her blog: "Now some of you may be wondering why I covered "Womanizer", simple really, I love Britney and I love the song, it wasn't my intention for it to have whizzed round the world like it has."
"Mark Ronson asked me for something no one had heard to play on his radio show and Womanizer was the only song i had as an attachment on my Blackberry and I couldn't get home to send him anything else in time."
"I had asked him to talk all over it so it wouldn't get ripped, but he didn't, thanks Mark for getting me in serious trouble with my record company."
Lily Allen will release her second album 'It's Not Me, It's You' on February 9th 2009.
