OMG, Lily Allen Freaking Rules
Lily Allen hosted the GQ Man of the Year awards with Elton John and actually managed to make the GQ Man of the Year awards interesting. From the UK Daily Mail:
Miss Allen, the daughter of actor Keith Allen, already looked well-refreshed by the time the GQ Men of the Year Awards began at London’s Royal Opera House on Tuesday evening.
The 23-year-old, decked out in an extravagant Dolce and Gabbana ballgown and Chopard jewellery, soon began slurring, swearing and ad-libbing.
And when she introduced Carol Vorderman to the stage with a verbal tirade, saying ‘F***’ no fewer than five times in the same sentence, her co-host decided enough was enough.
When Miss Allen came to announce ‘…and now the most important part of the night’, Elton chipped in ‘What? Are you going to have another drink?’
She fired back: ‘F*** 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: ‘F*** off. I don’t know what you are talking about.’
On more than one occasion, Sir Elton could be seen having a stern word with her in the wings between awards.
And it wasn’t just Elton having a hard time at the receiving end of Miss Allen’s comments. She also drunkenly blurted out the news that her brother, the stage actor Alfie Allen, had got engaged to girlfriend Jaime Winston, much to the couple’s shock since they had not even circulated the news among their friends.
And 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 f*** him.”
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.
Great part about this article #1 — Lily Allen is freaking hilarious.
Great part about this article #2 — the Brits describe someone blitzed out of her mind as “well refreshed.”
