Pop star Lily Allen lit up Paris on Friday night - flouting French laws by smoking on stage.

Reports have stated that the Smile singer played at the city's Le Zenith venue but refused to comply with the country's anti-tobacco rules by chain-smoking her way through the entire set as she performed in a skimpy leotard.

French politicians outlawed smoking in public places, including bar, cafes and concert venues in 2008 and Allen's slip could leave her facing a fine of up to US $617, while bosses at the venue could be made to pay out up to US $1,028.

Allen, has previously professed her love for cigarettes, admitting she doesn't want to kick the habit any time soon: "I love smoking. I don't really want to say it... but I do."

Though Allen launched her career through MySpace, she has now turned her back on the internet.

As well as shutting down her blog after receiving abuse over her outspoken views on illegal downloading, she has also stopped writing her musings on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Lily frequently updated her Twitter page several times a day, but hasn't written anything since September 28. reportedly, after her new boyfriend Sam Cooper complained it was taking too much of her time.

She said: '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?"'

Her last Twitter entry reads: 'I'm a neo-Luddite... goodbye.'

Lily also recently picked up the award for GQ Magazine's UK Woman Of The Year with the magazine publishing three special individual covers for their October issue including a topless Lily Allen.

    I'm sure the $617 fine will deter Miss Allen from smoking, she probably spends that much on lunch. Bring back Amy and the crack pipe!

    She's getting her 15 minutes of fame, her music is fun but its just a fad. Lilly, GaGA and Katy Perry all got no where until they used sex to sell. They'll all fade quickly.

    Jessica, Lilly does worry about how thin she is, she lost weight because she was getting nowhere when she was heavier and needed to look sexy to get ahead.

    I have no clue who this woman is, but for $617, not bad publicity. I wonder how much the Telsta ad on this page costs...

    She's got more brains than the average politician that's for sure. She should run for Prime Minister as she has more balls than the likes of Kevin Fudd. Go Lilly and give those wingers something to whine about.
