Lily Allen Makes Drunken Ass of Self at GQ Awards
Tags: lily allen
Lily Allen got drunk and belligerent last night at the GQ Man of the Year Awards, which is awesome in and of itself, but especially awesome when you consider she was the one hosting the awards show. According to the Daily Mail
When Miss Allen came to announce ‘…and now the most important part of the night’, [so-host] Elton John chipped in ‘What? Are you going to have another drink?’ She fired back: ‘Fuck off Elton. I am 40 years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me!’
The shocked audience fell silent. A clearly rattled Elton replied ‘I could still snort you under the table’. To which she replied: ‘Fuck off. I don’t know what you are talking about.’ When Sir Elton made reference to 82-year-old crooner Tony Bennett’s age as he was given the Inspiration Award, Miss Allen interrupted: “I’ll still fuck him.”
She also drunkenly blurted out the news that her brother had got engaged to girlfriend Jaime Winston, much to the couple’s shock since they had not even circulated the news among their friends.
Miss Allen could be seen pouring herself champagne from a bottle she had hidden behind the lectern, gulping it down in between awards, and finally slumping down at the back of the stage. Such was her state that she barely made it off the stage after the awards ended. She went on to drink even more champagne at the afterparty and had to be helped out to her car by her ever-present bodyguard.
I remember my guidance counselor telling me that binge-drinking to the point of black out was just a “cry for help.” But did you also that it’s also a cry for “I’ll let you put it in my bottom” and “please feel free to take my wallet”? Some of us had to learn that lesson the hard way.

I don’t even really like Elton John, but I’d like to see her have his staying power in the music industry. What a twat.

This whole scence reminds me of when my aunt gets tanked at family gatherings at Christmas and tells everybody what she really thinks of them. And when I say my aunt, I mean me.

I’d like to extend an invitation to Sorceresss for my next family gathering.
Is there any video of this GQ fiasco? I hardly know who Lily Allen is, other than for her drunkenness. Still, her shenanigans are kind of amusing.

Invitation accepted! Thanks Syd, although, where there’s booze, I’m pretty much likely to show up anyway, invited or not.

What a mess! Is she trying to ruin her career? You don’t go around insulting important people in your chosen industry. She won’t be around in 5 years, not because she showed everyone what a total d-bag she is, but because her flakey pop music doesn’t have staying power..oh, and it sucks.

But did you also that it’s also a cry for “I’ll let you put it in my bottom”
Were you drunk when you wrote this stunner?

It was embarrassing for the both of them. First off, Lily Allen wasn’t stumbling all over her dress o.k? Secondly, it’s not o.k. for Elton John, to make remarks about drug use, when money is being donated to (his) aids foundation. (sarcasm) OH Sir Elton John! you don’t mess with the queen! ewe, she’s lucky to be standing next to him! If the press didn’t follow Lily Allen (constantly) and make fun of her occasional drinking habit,then this wouldn’t be such an attack on her. As it turns out Sir Elton John (who is way too bitchy anyway) has said on tape Lily Allen is my friend. Jamie Winstone defends Lily Allen (on tape) and says shes bullied by the press.Lily Allen is famous for being a talented singer/songwriter, an album delay slows things down but it won’t stop her!
