 <title>Snoots Get Their Way: Lily Allen Leaves Orange Prize Jury</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2008/lily-allen-leaves-lit-judging-panel</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>Lily Allen had the literary world in a <a href="/2007/lily-allen-judging-literature-oh-please">tizzy last year</a> when she was chosen to serve on the jury of the Orange Prize for Fiction. But the &quot;Smile&quot; songstress will no longer be a source of consternation for the literary snoots: She's calling in sick. She withdrew &quot;by mutual consent&quot; from the Orange's judging panel, blaming ill health. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7334277.stm">According to BBC News</a>, she recently had a miscarriage, which may have contributed to the decision (all of the snobby vitriol couldn't have helped either!). One of Ms. Allen's reps told the BBC: &quot;Rather than do a disservice to what she sees as an incredible array of female literary talent, it has been agreed that she will withdraw before the final judging takes place.&quot;  The big winner, who will receive a £30,000 prize, will be announced on June 4. </p>]]></description>
