LONDON: Lily Allen thrives on the attention she receives from her male entourage on tour - because she's the only woman her crew cares about.

The pop star recently finished a string of festival dates this summer (09), and she relished the jaunt as the sole female in her camp.

The Smile singer also admits she doesn't mind when groupies fawn over her pals and colleagues - because she knows she is actually the only girl in their sights.

She tells Britain's GQ magazine, "I like the attention (from men). It probably sounds really bitchy, but I like being on tour because I know all my boys, my band, first and foremost their priority is looking out for me, and I like that. I like being in a room and four f**king bimbos coming in and they're all drooling after them but knowing that really the one they care about is me. That makes me feel comforted. And maybe that's sick."
