Let's just skip all the intro mumbo-jumbo and get straight to the heart of the matter here: Like, OMG! Lily Allen totally told Elton John to f*ck off - in front of a live audience!
Lily and Elton hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards on Tuesday night and when you put a duo like this together, the sparks are bound to fly. Elton is a superdiva in his own right, Lily is a spunky party girl who, at present, is bordering on trainwreck. Sounds like a good pair to host an award ceremony, don't you think?
After pouring herself one too many glasses of bubbly, Lily became rather smammered and began to lay in on her co-host. The Daily Mail reports that it was just a matter of time before Lily's demeanour turned surly:
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!
"I could still snort you under the table," retorted Elton, and was told by Lily to f*ck off. Again.
But Lily didn't stop there - not only did she quip that she'd still f*ck Tony Bennett, the 82-year-old recipient of the Inspiration Award, she also told the audience that her younger brother, Alfie, is getting married - news the couple hadn't even shared with their friends.
She also touched on her friend's kidnapping during the ceremony. Yes, you read that right - her friend's KIDNAPPING. London police found Lily's friend Charlie and another man in a house in east London; the pair were abducted at gunpoint from a sporting goods store and held for a week. At the awards show, Lily said the kidnapping had been part of a plan to extort money from the victim's family. Why she felt the GQ Man of the Year Awards was the place to talk about that is beyond me...oh wait - drinking. In excess. On stage. It's all coming back to me now.
Earlier this summer Lily took to her blog and admitted that she's known "more for being a train wreck than a musician, and it does hurt". Clearly that truth doesn't hurt enough to, you know, clean up her act.
After this latest Lily-related public spectacle, I'm guessing that her days as an awards show host have been halted, perhaps permanently.
