As a seasoned observer of the whirlwind that is celebrity life, I must say the drama surrounding James Corden has been quite the spectacle. From his beginnings as a chat show host to his meteoric rise as a Hollywood star, it seems every move he makes sparks controversy or gossip.


As I ambled through Primrose Hill on a serene Wednesday, I, much like James Corden, opted for a relaxed vibe – all while shaking off the playful barbs tossed by Lily Allen.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself strolling through London alongside an accomplished actor-turned-presenter, age 45, accompanied by his beloved wife Julia Carey and close companion Cici, all en route to savor a delightful midday meal together in the esteemed city.

In a straightforward manner, the actor from Gavin and Stacey donned a long-sleeved black top and jeans, then injected a touch of vibrancy with light pink New Balance sneakers.

James strolled next to his wife, complementing his style with fashionable sunglasses. Meanwhile, she chose a chic white and blue striped summer blouse.

She finished off her outfit with light blue denim jeans, vibrant purple Hoka sneakers, and shades, walking arm-in-arm with her spouse.

Following James’ dismissal of Lily’s harsh comment about him seeking friendship with her, their outing transpired, as reported by sources. These sources also mentioned that the ex-late night host criticized Lily’s podcast remarks as tacky.

James, who spent nearly a decade living in the U.S., has been labeled a “frequent beggar” by a British singer following their initial encounter, according to her recollection.

Lily, aged 39, expressed this remark during the co-hosting of her Miss Me? podcast with her longtime childhood friend and fellow “nepotism baby,” Miquita Oliver.

Following a series of allegations about his less-than-polite behavior, poor manners, backstage rudeness, and maintaining a supposedly false “nice guy” image in public, James received comments afterwards.

According to a source who spoke with DailyMail.com, the Gavin & Stacey actor expressed his view that the singer acted rather foolishly by making any such comments.

The insider commented that James often faces criticism for his interactions with others and is known to be divisive, much like Ellen DeGeneres currently, where people tend to either admire him or dislike him without any middle ground.

When Lily recently spoke negatively about him, James took it as routine for him, another voice among the many critics.

They went on saying, “He found it in poor taste when Lily mentioned their past, and he believed she was somewhat imprudent for even bringing it up.”

As a lifestyle guide, I’d rephrase that sentiment as follows: “I firmly believe that I don’t settle for less than I deserve and have always maintained a positive outlook. However, it can be disheartening when others speak negatively about me. Yet, the power to alter this narrative lies solely within me. The change I desire will only occur when I decide to make changes myself.”

A source close by revealed that the ex-host of The Late Late Show remains puzzled as to why numerous individuals have criticized him lately.

As a seasoned observer of human behavior, I have come to notice that there are individuals like James who struggle to understand why they seem to upset so many people around them. They often justify their actions by stating that they are simply being themselves. However, my personal experience has taught me that this self-justification can sometimes be misleading and even a sign of delusion.

According to the report, the television personality might want to spend some time contemplating to prevent any potential conflicts in the future.

They mentioned that following proper respect is important, but James often fails to reciprocate, which is why the situation will persist unless he modifies his own mindset and behavior.

In recent times, I’ve found myself embroiled in a series of controversies, with the incident between me and Lily being the most recent addition to that list. Some have accused me of exhibiting behavior characteristic of a diva, an allegation I’m working diligently to address and refute.

Previously, a well-known television personality was controversially denied entry to Balthazar restaurant in New York City. This decision came following allegations made by the restaurant’s owner, Keith McNally, who stated that the individual had been disrespectful towards staff on two different instances.

Despite initially dismissing the drama as ‘silly,’ Corden later apologized.

He admitted that his remark was disrespectful and out of line, implying that it wasn’t appropriate or considerate towards the server.

Approximately half a year had passed, and Director Craig Duncan, a former collaborator of James on a UK-based game show back in 2013, stirred things up by making a very direct and critical remark aimed at the comedian.

Duncan described James as the “toughest and most irritating presenter” he’s ever collaborated with. According to him, James would curse at the crew during filming and often referred to Duncan as “foolish.”

‘I hope I never, ever work with [James] again,’ Duncan added.

While I was tuned into Celebrity Big Brother last March, I found myself labeling James as quite the name-dropper, Sharon Osbourne did.

‘I’ll tell you who does that, James James. He does that all the time,’ she said.

The celebrity from reality TV asserted that James often boasted about his high-end fashion brands to others, and additionally, she believed he participated in the “Hollywood scene” when he moved from the UK to Los Angeles.

She said: ‘I told him, “I think your shoes are great,” and he replied, “They’re Stella McCartney.” I responded, “I didn’t inquire about who made them; I just complimented you on them.” He skillfully played the L.A. game.’

Last month, Lily caused quite a stir by stating that James was her “pretended friend” following his allegation that she had led him on when she had not been doing so at all.

On her Lily Allen and Friends talk show in 2008, the lead singer from Smile admitted to being quite forward with her, and mentioned they spent a brief, somewhat unclear time together afterward.

According to the musician, James misread the signs and wrote in his book that she led him on.

She expressed that James Corden was quite friendly towards her, saying, ‘On my talk show, James Corden seemed quite affectionate, and we ended up becoming friends. In fact, I even introduced him to some of my close companions.’

A ‘persistent acquaintance’ is an individual who continually seeks your attention, hoping it will lead to the development of a friendship.

The mother of two clarified, “He apparently mentioned in his book that I might have given him mixed signals – but rest assured, that was not the case.”

‘I think in his mind, maybe it went on a bit longer.

‘But yeah, I’d say if I ever had a famous beggy friend, it was James Corden back in the day.’

“I no longer find myself in a position where he is asking me for favors. Similarly, I am no longer in the habit of asking him for help. At this moment, I see that he is managing well on his own.”

In his 2011 memoir, James described Lily as being self-assured, witty, and wise. We probably went on a handful of outings with Lily, but none of them were traditional dates, he mentioned.

‘It always seemed to involve other people and not just the two of us.’

It struck me profoundly during my gathering at Lily’s home with some of her companions, that moment serving as a revelation.

After it seemed Lily was heading off to sleep, James followed her up to her room. There, she escorted him to the guest room and bid him a good night.

As a lifestyle guide, I must confess that I’ve rarely experienced a moment as humbling as the one I found myself in. Pretending to be something I wasn’t, I was fooling no one but myself. It was during those quiet hours in bed that it struck me, like a sudden downpour on a clear day – my perception of our relationship with Lily was nothing more than an illusion in my own mind.

Previously, Lily expressed that it seemed like James made advances towards her during their TV interview on her BBC Three talk program.

In the given episode, James addressed Lily by saying, “By the way, please disregard those folks over yonder, and let me clarify that I’m not familiar with you…”

Later, Lily playfully quipped, “Just kiss me… oh, wait,” eliciting a wave of laughter and applause from the crowd.

She then said: ‘Thank you very much … that’s how you get into a girl’s pants. Well done, well done, James. Are you single at the moment?’

He replied: ‘Complicated … no I am, yeah.’

In 2017, Lily asserted that she couldn’t refuse him back then as it might have labeled her as ‘unfeeling’ or ‘arrogant.’

When someone posted saying they thought she had feelings for James Corden based on a tweet and a link to his episode, she responded: ‘No, I didn’t have romantic feelings towards James Corden either.’

1. “He made advances towards me with a live audience present. If I had rejected him, I might have been seen as aloof, arrogant, or snooty.”

A representative for James Corden has been contacted by DailyMail.com for comment.
