BATTLE FOR KATY PERRY AND LILY ALLEN

Katy Perry

Pop singing star Lily Allen is reportedly delaying the release of her upcoming album for fear of a chart battle with rival singer Katy Perry. Perry is dominating the international charts with her track "I Kissed a Girl," and her success has allegedly left Allen worried about her new LP "Stuck on the Naughty Step." The album was originally going to be released later this month but will now be out next year, reports The London Sun. Meanwhile it has emerged Perry's boyfriend, Travis McCoy, once had a crush on Allen. The Gym Class Heroes star has been dating Perry since June, but just last year he admitted a crush on the "Smile" singer. He said, "Lily Allen. I met her before very briefly. She's cute. Yeah ... I'd like to see her again."
