Lily Allen: Go Ahead, Take Drugs, They Aren't All Bad
You know, you step back sometimes and take a good, hard look at just who has made it to celeb-dom, and you have to wonder...is there a finite amount of talent and brains God gives a person, and if a person has more talent then there has to be a deficit in brains? Kind of like Sims, where if you want to give them more "nice" personality points you have to make room somewhere else, like taking away "neat" points?
I think that's the case with Lily Allen. Her "talent" points were filling up so some of the "brain" points had to go to the "talent" part. Case in point: Lily believes that drugs aren't all bad...after all, not everyone who takes them does something awful like, I don't know, dies or something:
The 24-year-old singer said: 'The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true.'I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work everyday, no problem at all.
'But we never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn't sensationalise this thing that just exists.'
In the interview for The Word magazine she admitted to taking drugs in the past but said she no longer did so.
But Miss Allen went on to say that she felt 'annoyed' that her record label was putting her in two-star hotels.
She said if she had been a musician 20 years ago 'I'd have been booked in at the Ritz with five grams of cocaine on my table'.
I mean, what are you going to say to that? Obviously this young woman has a bit of a warped sense of the world if she believes that drugs don't affect people's lives in extremely negative ways. Let's see her coke-addled friends in a few years, when they can't function at their job because they've rotted their brains away on coke, or when their kids are taken away because their cokehead parents can't take care of them, or when they are found dead in a mess of powder and rolled-up dollar bills. Since she's admitted to past drug and alcohol problems of her own, you'd think she would have a bit more sense...but hey, denial ain't just a river, folks. Continued on the next page
