Lily Allen on topless pictures

"I don't really like to respond to things I read about my self in the press but, for the record I was not thrown off anybody's yacht in Cannes," writes Allen. "Occasionally I drink wine with lunch and yes I swim topless. This, in my book, is not embarrassing behavior."

Allen, 23, also addressed a recent meeting with her ex-boyfriend, Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons, for lunch

"I went to lunch with my ex boyfriend yesterday," she writes. "Lunch. I am not some failed baby making machine desperately trying to win my man back ... Ed and I are friends, who went for lunch yesterday, that's it."

She continues: "Yes I like to drink and yes I have my bad days, but that doesn't mean I'm out of control. I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself thank you very much."
