Star ‘can't remember' how many abortions she's had: ‘Pregnant all the time'
'I'd get pregnant all the time, all the time,' the 'Smile' singer revealed on Tuesday's episode of her podcast.
'Abortions, I've had a few, but then again, I can't remember exactly how many … I think maybe like, I want to say four or five.'
The singer called her use of contraception a 'complete disaster area' before her co-host, Miquita Oliver, chimed in, adding that she's had 'about five, too'.
'Lily, I'm so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment,' the TV personality, 41, continued.
'We've had about the same amount of abortions.'
Allen, 40, shared one of her experiences, saying: 'I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic.'
The popstar's opinion, however, later changed.
'I don't think it's generous or romantic,' she said, claiming that the man never messaged her afterwards.
'Fair [to be honest], I was a f**ken crazy bitch, still am,' Allen quipped.
The 'Hard Out There' songstress shares kids Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband, Sam Cooper, whom she was married to from 2011 to 2018.
She then tied the knot with 'Stranger Things' star David Harbour, 50, in 2020. However, news broke in February that the two reportedly called it quits.
That same month, the actor stepped out with 27-year-old model Ellie Fallon in Georgia after they were allegedly spotted on a trip to India for New Year's, per the Daily Mail.
While the duo hasn't publicly commented on their reported break-up, Harbour has dodged questions about it.
In April, he told GQ Magazine that he was 'protective of the people and the reality of [his] life'.

UK rock legends Oasis kick off 'historic' comeback tour
British pop legends Oasis kicked off a hotly anticipated worldwide reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday, commencing an unlikely comeback few thought possible nearly 16 years after last performing together. "Manchester vibes in the area," Liam Gallagher, frontman for the band from the northern English city, told a 74,000-strong crowd in the Welsh capital after coming on stage, reporters inside said. The 1990s Britpop outfit, who split acrimoniously in 2009, then launched into their first track of the night, the 1995 hit "Hello", followed by "Acquiesce". A string of hits followed, including "Roll With It" -- a duet by the once-warring Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel -- "Cigarettes And Alcohol", "Stand By Me" and "Supersonic". "Yes beautiful people! It's been too long," Liam reportedly yelled to the audience early on, with photographs showing him hand-in-hand with his brother Noel at one point. Oasis play two nights in Cardiff's Principality Stadium to start 41 concerts around the world. The Gallaghers have put aside their differences for the Oasis Live '25 tour, which includes five hometown gigs in Manchester starting July 11. Further sold-out British and Irish concerts will follow at London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield and Dublin's Croke Park, before visiting other countries. The band's 1990s gigs are the stuff of legend but the chance to see them perform again was long seen as a remote prospect, following one of music's bitterest break-ups. - Carnival atmosphere - Fans began packing Cardiff's stadium from late afternoon, thrilled at the end of that long hiatus. "It's gonna be life-changing," Omar Llamas, 39, who flew in from Mexico for the event, told AFP as he headed inside after the stadium gates opened. "It's just incredible to be here," added 30-year-old compatriot Cynthia Flores. "I'm struggling to find the words! Fans travelled from across the Americas and various European countries to witness what many were calling a "historic moment". "We've come just for this," said American Mark Cassidy, 31, who flew with a friend from New York for the opening concert. "We're super excited -- it's a perfect day for it," he added as they basked in summer sunshine. A carnival-like atmosphere built in Cardiff, with hordes of fans in Oasis t-shirts filling the streets as the sound of the band's various hits drifted through the air. Crowds packed pubs and outdoor terraces also bellowed out the band's anthems, while merchandise stands did a brisk trade. "I literally can't wait -- I'm so excited!" Kira, a 25-year-old operations manager from Dundee in Scotland, said after splashing out £130 ($177) at the official shop on an Oasis hoodie, poster and t-shirt. She recounted snagging her two opening night tickets in the frenzied online scramble last year. "We were so chuffed," added her friend Kayla. "We also thought hopefully there was less chance of them splitting up by the first night!" - 'Rough and ready' - Oasis announced the comeback tour last August, days before the 30th anniversary of their debut album "Definitely Maybe". The brothers maintained a war of words about each other for more than a decade, performing individually over those years but never together. The chaotic clamour for tickets after their surprise reunion announcement devolved into outrage over sudden price hikes that saw Britain's competition watchdog threaten legal action. Resale tickets costing thousands of pounds have surfaced, while fans have also been targeted by online scams. Liam appeared to make light of the furore Friday, reportedly telling fans: "Are you having a good time? Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket." Oasis are being supported in the UK by Richard Ashcroft, frontman of British rock band The Verve, as well as 1990s indie band Cast. Starting his debut tour performance, Ashcroft said he was "proud to be here on this historic night", joking that he felt like he was in Oasis. He then launched into "Sonnet", the 1997 hit song he released as frontman of The Verve. The Principality Stadium has its roof closed for both nights. Oasis reportedly began jamming together months ago, before rehearsing in London more recently. The band has welcomed several new members for the tour, including a keyboard player and drummer.

Tennis star lifts up skirt after tense stand-off with Wimbledon official
It wouldn't be Wimbledon without a wardrobe controversy. Feisty Latvian star Jelena Ostapenko was the latest to draw the ire of the tournament's ultra-strict all white dress code while warming up for her doubles match overnight Friday. While the All England Lawn Tennis Club was happy to make an exception for players wishing to wear a black armband to honour late Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, one official wasn't so sure about what Ostapenko was hiding under her skirt. And it led to a bizarre stand-off. Wimbledon altered its rules two years ago to allow women's players to wear black shorts after widespread concerns over players suffering from period anxiety. It's unclear whether it was the green colour of Ostapenko's shorts or something else that prompted the conversation this year, but tennis fans still blew up after the moment was shared on social media. 'Imagine telling a woman what colour knickers/shorts she can wear under her skirt,' one wrote. 'Move the hell forward Wimbledon…we all love the white but the underwear is none of your business.' 'That's ridiculous. The green looks cute and is perfect for this tournament!' wrote another. 'Wimbledon needs to modernise on this,' added another. 'Who is this Umpire? Anna Wintour?' added a fourth. 71-second statement after controversial decision There were also comical scenes on court two as Ben Shelton needed just 71 seconds to complete his match against Australia's Rinky Hijikata. Shelton had failed to persuade the umpire to give him just one more minute to put the finishing touches on a straight sets win in the gathering gloom at Wimbledon on Thursday. The second-round match was halted at 9.29pm due to fading light. When he returned in the sunshine on Friday, Shelton strode back onto Court Two with one goal, to finish off Hijikata quickly. Four swishes of the racquet later, including three aces, and the job was done, with 10th seed Shelton wrapping up a 6-2 7-5 6-4 win. The official match time of two hours and 12 minutes failed to tell the whole story. 'He (the supervisor) said it was a five-minute warning until Hawk-Eye (line-calling technology) was going down,' Shelton said. 'That was, like, including the changeover, so there wouldn't be enough time to complete the game. 'I was telling him, 'I only need 60 seconds'. That's kind of what my goal was when I went out there today.' Despite being on the brink of victory overnight Shelton, 22, admitted that switching off had been nearly impossible. 'When you're in the middle of a match, you're thinking about what you did, what you could have done, how you could have been off the court, what you're going to do when you get back out there,' he said. 'For me it's what my game plan is going to be for that one service game to make sure that I hold. You can't really completely switch off.' Shelton will play Marton Fucsovics in the third round after the Hungarian beat veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils in five sets, in another match held over. Alcaraz still searching for top gear Carlos Alcaraz survived another erratic performance on Friday, battling to a 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 win over Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff to stay on track for a third straight Wimbledon crown. Alcaraz made 28 unforced errors in an inconsistent display on Centre Court but conjured enough moments of magic to eventually subdue the world number 125 and book his place in the last 16. The world number two had been pushed to the brink in a five-set win over 38-year-old Italian Fabio Fognini in the first round and looked below his best again in a second-round victory over British amateur Oliver Tarvet. After grinding out his latest underwhelming win, the Spaniard has plenty of room for improvement. In contrast to Alcaraz's laboured efforts, world number one Jannik Sinner - his main rival at the All England Club - has dropped just 12 games in his first two matches. Keys, Osaka crash out Australian Open champion Madison Keys joined the mass exodus of top seeds at Wimbledon on Friday. Keys' 6-3, 6-3 defeat by Germany's Laura Siegemund means only world number one Aryna Sabalenka is still alive at the All England Club out of the top six women's seeds. Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jasmine Paolini and Zheng Qinwen had already fallen by the wayside. US sixth seed Keys had won 13 of her 14 Grand Slam matches this year, but made 31 unforced errors in a lacklustre display on the grass against 37-year-old Siegemund, ranked 104 in the world. Elsewhere, Naomi Osaka admits she contemplates life without tennis but does not plan to quit just yet despite her latest painful defeat. Osaka blew a golden opportunity to reach the Wimbledon fourth round for the first time as she was beaten by Russian world number 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. The 27-year-old took the first set on Court Two, but she lost her way as Pavlyuchenkova battled back to clinch a 3-6 6-4 6-4 victory. Osaka is a four-time Grand Slam champion but she has not won a major since 2021 and has still never been beyond the third round at the All England Club. 'Right now I'm just really upset. I wanted to better than I did before. I thought I could make a great run here but clearly not,' Osaka said. Since her triumph at the Australian Open four years ago, she is on a dismal run of 12 successive Grand Slam appearances without reaching the fourth round. Osaka gave birth to a daughter in July 2023, returning from a 15-month sabbatical for the start of the 2024 season. Visibly frustrated throughout her post-match press conference after losing on Friday, she was asked if she thought about hanging up her racquet to find happiness elsewhere. 'Yeah. I feel like I'd be kind of crazy to not, but I think right now I have so many things I want to attempt to achieve,' she said. 'I feel like while I still have the opportunity to try to do it, I want to, even though I get very upset when I lose, but I think that's my competitive nature. That's also the younger sister syndrome. 'No person wants to feel this way, like, multiple times throughout the year, but tennis players are crazy.

‘Sad': John Travolta's journey from Hollywood great to Hollywood has been
He was once one of the biggest actors in the world, having previously been nominated for not one but two Oscars, but in recent years, John Travolta has become somewhat of a Hollywood joke. Despite numerous successes throughout his career, in movies like Grease and Saturday Night Fever, Travolta's filmography has been plagued with numerous box office bombs that have derailed his career time and time again. Travolta's latest films, High Rollers and crime thriller Mob Land, failed to win over viewers, with the latter earning a paltry $171 at the Box Office following its UK release. It's a tragic outcome for Travolta, who could once demand a whopping $20 million from studio execs for a movie. A Disney executive who has worked with Travolta told the Mail that the actor had the chance to be considered one of the acting greats, but instead has long outstayed his welcome among Hollywood's elite. 'If Travolta had stopped after his Pulp Fiction comeback he would have gone down in Hollywood history as one of the all-time greats. A legend who came back for one last hurrah. But now he's like that sad guest who has overstayed his welcome at the party.' Currently still unrated on Rotten Tomatoes, The Guardian said of High Rollers: 'A heart-slowing work of staggering stupidity and charmlessness, ineptly made and quite frankly dull except when its flaws become so egregious you can't help but guffaw.' It's the first in a longline of flops. Back in 2018 he became one of the first actors to ever score not one, but two 0 per cent rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes in the same year; thriller Speed Kill and biopic, Gotti. In recent years, Travolta has fallen into the trap of genre films referred to within the industry as 'geezer teezers', made most famous in recent times by Bruce Willis. Willis, whose health was slowly deteriorating during the 2010s, starred in several films until his 2022 retirement; he typically only worked for one or two shooting days per film and was sometimes in the film for as little as seven minutes. Having a big-name actor helps bring attention to films that are made on low budgets but usually later become profitable through rentals and sales. Rumours about Travolta's personal life has also impacted his career, with it being revealed by Hollywood mogul Barry Diller that he refused to star in box office hit American Gigolo due to it's 'gay subtext'. The film ultimately grossed 10 times its budget at the box office and was a big hit for eventual leading man Richard Gere.
