If you want to be successful in 2025 and beyond, then you've got to get creative. After all, we're living in the world of AI, where past sales methods have begun to fall flat. That's why Lily Allen has taken the promotion of her new album in new and unusual directions.

The "Not Fair" singer recently posted a link to some new merchandise on her social media accounts. One of the new items for sale is a butt plug (yes, you read that right.) However, this isn't any ordinary butt plug. In fact, it also doubles as a USB drive, though you may want to sanitize it before swapping uses.
The drive itself contains all of her new tunes and can also be used for data storage. In fact, Allen is playing down its other intended use by claiming that it's a "novelty USB device intended for data storage only." None of us believes that, though.
If it's shaped like a butt plug and the size of a butt plug, then guess what? It's probably a butt plug.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time Allen has promoted her butt plugs, as she also handed them out at her album release party earlier this year.
Lily Allen and Nicole Kidman Could Form an Unlikely Alliance
Lily Allen is currently working through divorce proceedings. Her five-year marriage to David Harbour, who played Jim Hopper in Stranger Things, has come to an end. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Nicole Kidman said she wants to grab lunch with Allen, as they're both working through divorces.
"I'd most like to set a lunch with ... Lily Allen, Spike Jonze, Matthieu Blazy, Sandy Bullock, Joey King and Pope Leo, all at one table," Kidman said.
Both Allen and Kidman are seeing their personal lives play out on the public stage. It's the price that comes with fame, regardless of the scope. As such, they could lean on each other as the proceedings continue, especially when rumors or details of their respective divorces are leaked to the press.
And who knows, maybe Allen can sell Kidman a couple of thumb (or are they butt) drives in the process.
