Lily Allen Gets Drunk and Shows Spunk
Â
Lily Allen, the fiery little lass from the UK who’s ska-revival-infused pop sound is slowly infiltrating the U.S., doesn’t much appreciate how our culture pits her against her music rivals. In this case, fellow Brit singer the bluesy-rocker Amy Winehouse. Allen insists there’s no real rivalry, only one made up in the press. I tend to believe her on this one, as Allen’s non-too-shy about expressing how she feels about other celebrities and musicians.  Lily on the Amy Winehouse much-ado-about-nothing:
“Every interview I do I’m getting asked how I feel about Amy. It’s starting to really p%#s me off. I really like Amy and am totally supportive of her. “Why do people always try to play women off against each other? Or why not create a rivalry between the boys? I think there is something seriously wrong with this part of our culture.”
Lily makes a good point, but why is she surprised? If there’s no controversy, then one will be created, especially in her case.  It is Lily Allen’s very outspokenness that has helped to make her a household name. She must know deep down, that this willingness to speak critically and openly would not only bring her attention, but also some negative repercussions.
Her most recent attack was shot at the Beckhams, David and Victoria. Lily on the Beckhams:
“We are bombarded with fashion mags and gossip mags with rich pop stars and Victoria Beckhams with their new handbags and kids think that’s the sort of life they should have.”
That’s what we here in the states call: keeping up with the Joneses. It’s what drives our capitalist society, and quite honestly, it’s what makes us great. Our greed and need to have EVERYTHING. All in all, that’s one of the more insightful things Ms. Allen has said.
Last week Lily blasted our President Bush in concert when she got drunk while performing in San Diego. Here’s an excerpt of what happened:
The ‘Smile’ singer, after guzzling beer and cider onstage during the concert, attacked Bush for being an “a**ehole and a c**t” before turning her ire on Brit PM Tony Blair and calling him a “c**t’s bitchâ€. Allen then had people gaping when she declared that she was “probably bisexual”, and that she was tired of men with “tiny d***s”. She also said that San Diego has the best crack whores she’d ever seen, and that she was thinking of becoming a lesbian.
I totally know how she feels. San Diego’s crack whores are THE BEST.Â
Anyway, this is typical of the cherubic-faced Allen. She’s gone off on Sir Bob Geldolf, Madonna, Pete Doherty, MTV and James Blunt to name a few. Not that I blame her, they are all a bunch of tossers. But with that kind of “mouthy” track record she has no place to complain about people wanting to create a rivalry from fellow Brit singer and total drunk Amy Winehouse.Â
In truth, I am totally psyched about this British Invasion; drunk chicks who sing, crackheads who date cokewhore models, metrosexual soccer players and their pimped out wives - and who knew Tony Blair was a total b*itch. A total hot b*tch at that!

Oh yes she does have aright to complain about the media trying to creat a faux rivalry between her and Amy Winehouse. Lily’s big mouth gives them plenty of true fodder, and I’d be sick of hearing about Amy too if I were her.
I’m sick of hearing it too. Most of Lily’s fans are probably a little more intellegent than your typical American bimbo and the only reason the media wants to create this rivalry is that the pair each have a “bad ass” image.
They cannot stand that Lily has oodles of talent, wit, charm, and intellegence.. it’s just too much for them.. they are not used to it because of the oversaturated Nickelback-driven music industry that is full of shitty fluffy acts.

Dude, you don’t have to convince me, I love Lily Allen. Love her. Amy Winehouse is awful. Can’t stand her music or her annoying personality. Not sure why Lily doesn’t feel the same way.

She might feel the same way but the samrt thing to do would be to not say so given the already absurd manner in which the media wants to beat this dead horse.
