Lily Allen quits Internet for boyfriend

LONDON: British popstar Lily Allen who had earlier confessed her addiction to social networking websites has turned her back on them so that she can spend more time with boyfriend. The ''Smile'' hitmaker has given away her computer and Blackberry to please her beau Sam Cooper who had complained that she spends too much time online, reported Daily Mirror.

"My boyfriend gets really angry. He''s like, ''I want to spend some time with you, do we have to have one and a half million people in the room with us?'' I''m like, ''Yes, shut up!''," the singer had said in an earlier interview.

But the 24-year-old singer who was an avid user of Twitter.com and MySpace, has now deleted her accounts from the websites.

"Sam was fed up. He told Lily, ''It''s me or Twitter.

'' And she chose him," said a source close to the singer "We thought she was joking, but it''s been a month since she last Twittered. Before then you could always get a response from her straight away.

No matter what time of day or where she was, she''d be glued to her BlackBerry. "Now you have to leave a message on her home answerphone.

She does have a clapped out old mobile phone, but you''re lucky to get her on that because she keeps leaving it when she goes out," added the source.
