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. Continued on the next page
