It&amp;apos;s all been taken out of context,&amp;quot; the singer&amp;apos;s rep told Usmagazine.com in a statement Friday.\r\nGet more music/TV and music news here.\r\nThe reports surfaced after the singer posted a blog entry on her anti-music piracy site, It&amp;apos;s Not Alright, telling fans she did not re-up her contract with EMI Records.\r\n&amp;#xA0;&amp;quot;Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record. I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade,&amp;quot; Allen wrote in a post that has since been deleted.\r\nSee the day&amp;apos;s top celeb news photos.\r\nAllen&amp;apos;s triple-platinum second album, It&amp;apos;s Not Me, It&amp;apos;s You, hit store shelves in February, and the singer has been touring the record overseas.&amp;quot;Lily is not thinking about future work because she is still promoting her current album,&amp;quot; says the rep."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
