Lily Collins was only a toddler when she found herself in quite the royal mess. On Tuesday, Jan. 4, the Emily in Paris star, 32, visited The Late Late Show with James Corden and spilled some piping hot Earl Grey tea about visiting the British royal family as a child. That includes one instance when, as a baby, she tried to keep a present that was meant for Princess Diana. As the actress explained to host James Corden, she met the former Princess of Wales while attending a Prince's Trust event alongside her parents, Jill Tavelman and Genesis drummer Phil Collins. Referencing a photo from the festivities, showing a young Lily holding a bouquet, she noted that the...

Earlier this week, we shared the ballot that Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz submitted for the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list. It was, to put a mildly, a very eclectic list that included Marching Band Favorites by the Tremont High School Drum Line, Boogaloo in Brooklyn by Juan Epstein, and Ultimate Spinach’s 1968 self-titled debut. Some of these albums are legit even if they are quite obscure, while others exist only in far-off dimensions like the Welcome Back, Kotter Universe.
And then there was number 27: Dance Into the Light by Phil Collins.

Lily Collins has grown up in the spotlight — but it hasn’t always been easy.
The 27-year-old actress was caught in the crosshairs of her parents’ divorce when her famous dad, legendary musician Phil Collins, and her American socialite mom, Jill Tavelman, split in 1994 when she was five. The tumultuous divorce proceedings took two years before being finalized.

Lily Collins is offering an olive branch to her famous father, Phil Collins.
The 27-year-old actress pens a letter in her new memoir, Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, where she talks about coming to terms with the 66-year-old musician "not being the dad" she expected. Lily was the only child from her father’s second marriage to Jill Tavelman. At age five, her parents split, and Lily and her mother moved to Los Angeles, while Phil -- who has four children from other relationships -- resided in Switzerland.
"I forgive you for not always being there when I needed," she writes in an excerpt from the letter obtained by Daily Mail. "I forgive the mistakes you made. And although it may seem like it’s too late, it’s not. There’s still so much time to move forward."

Image Source: Getty / Michael Kovac Something that has been bothering us for a while now (besides, you know, climate-change deniers, bars that don't serve Rosé, and when something in the sale section isn't actually on sale) is the fact that Lily Collins, ubertalented actress and owner of some of the best brows in the business, doesn't have a British accent. That sounds like a nonsensical thing to be bothered by, because it is, but bear with us: even though her father is British and she did have an accent in the 2014 film Love, Rosie, Lily does not, in fact, have a British accent Irl. And we just feel like she should. Image Source: Getty / Todd Williamson Lily's father is, of course, the great English singer and former Genesis frontman Phil Collins. Her mother is Jill Tavelman, Phil's second wife and the former president of the Beverly Hills Women's Club. The 27-year-old was born in Surrey,...

Bedtime at Lily Collins‘ house had an Oscar-winning soundtrack.
The Rules Don’t Apply actress told Harry Connick Jr. on his talk show on Tuesday that one of her pop star father Phil Collins‘ most recognizable songs was originally written as a lullaby for her.
” ‘You’ll Be in My Heart,’ from Tarzan,” she revealed, adding, “We grew up watching Disney shows and movies together, so that was his way of kind of being able to do it for his kids. It was so special.”
Phil composed the soundtrack to the 1999 Disney animated film, which went on to win a Grammy for best soundtrack album.

Growing up the daughter of a pop star, the actor was always going to be in the spotlight. Here she talks about her rapid Hollywood rise – and why she'd never have been happy as a socialite
Lily Collins, actor and daughter of Genesis frontman Phil, settles among the dark woods and sinking velvets of an annoyingly hip hotel in Paris and sighs, then apologises immediately. She has flown here straight from the set of her next film – Writers, in which she stars alongside Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly – and there was no direct flight from North Carolina. Still, if the 23-year-old is jetlagged she doesn't look it. In the flesh she's all porcelain skin, raven hair and red lips – an excellent embodiment of Snow White if ever you saw one. Which is just as well, because Mirror Mirror, the film whose premiere she is attending, sees her play a ballsy,...
