Lily Allen has reportedly signed with star-studded Hollywood talent firm, United Talent Agency.

The hot-shot company, whose clients include Charlize Theron and Carmen Electra, spotted Ms Allen (like most people) via her famous blog spot.

Talent agent Nikki Wheeler said it wasn¡¯t just Lily¡¯s lyrics and singing voice that got their attention but the way she built her own online fan base.

"When artists really try to relate to their fans, the artist is really working for him or herself," said Wheeler.

There¡¯s a buzz building around Lily in the US already. Rolling Stone magazine's already said her attitude is ¡°badass¡± and that her songs are catchier than The Streets¡¯.
