In the world of pop music, you have your young starlets, such as Lily Allen and Miley Cyrus. If they’re unlucky we’ll never hear from then after their first flush of fame. Then you have the big time players, Madonna, for example. Or Elton John, a man who despite his criminal fashion sense and his sometimes questionable musical choices he is still respected by most musicians, and is one of the most successful artists.
So for Lily Allen to get up on stage and call him old and past it, even if he was joining in on the name calling, seems a bit cruel.
The 23-year-old, decked out in an extravagant ball gown, soon began slurring, swearing and ad-libbing – and it was only a matter of time before she had an all-too-public fall-out on stage with co-host Elton.
When she 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, Elton could be seen having a stern word with her in the wings between awards.
She barely made it off the stage after the awards ended – before drinking even more at the afterparty.
Lily, there’s only one thing worse than being old and past your prime. It’s being over at 23.
This isn’t the first time Lily has stumbled drunkenly through an awards ceremony, at the UK Glamour Women of the Year awards she had to be carried to her car by security, although she later blamed the incident on spiked drinks. She has also hit a girl outside a nightclub, flashed her breasts, and had a blogging feud with Perez Hilton. Does Lily actually have time to make a new album between all that?
Lily blogged in June that she is known ‘more for being a train wreck than a musician, and it does hurt’. She obviously isn’t working towards changing that perception of her.

“Lily, there’s only one thing worse than being old and past your prime. It’s being over at 23.”
You said it, Helen. Elton may be a fat old queen but he’s a multi-talented fat old queen who’s more than earned his stripes. Why is it always the ones with the least to shout about have the most to say?
One word describes her “Skanky” 😆
she is the talentless future that most pop stars are… they dont write their own music, they dont play their own instruments, they are packaged and marketed. and when their time is done they become britney spears….
Christ on a cracker, my girl needs help. An honest stint at rehab, then a good six months in the studio.
Word to the wise, Lily: Do not f–k with Elton John. Unless you’re Madonna. And you’re not.
i saw lily allen getting out of a limo once with all this puke drenching the front of her white tank top, and her fat little belly spilling out from under it. then she banged into a large wooden door, and her security guard just let her do it. I guess everyone is sick of her shit, after all, she ain’t no amy winehouse!
Trouble with Lily is that she’s trying to live up to her bona fide hellraiser dad but has neither the wit, talent or attitude to go with it. He needs to give her some urgent lessons if that’s the route she’s planning to take.
That dress is hideous – it looks like a grubby old polyester doona cover.
does anyone know if a video of this has surfaced on the net yet??
I know that everyone is jumping on the bash Lily Allen bandwagon, and I do agree that the girl has issues that clearly need to be worked out. But why is it acceptable for Elton John to try to publicly humiliate her when she was presenting the award? Her response may have been a bit harsh, but I think what Elton said was uncalled for. And the snorting under the table comment after showed that he was being just as childish as she was.
I totally agree with Allie.
She started it with the swearing, ab-libbing and slurring. Her unprofessionalism obviously got to Elton and he couldn’t resist making a comment. This fat-assed drunk should not be put on stage at any event where she has to talk coherently and use a few brain cells.
….with toilet paper as a belt
Well, she’s is entertaining but not in the way she thinks she is…
This girl can’t stop slagging people off. She needs to shut her mouth. Elton has had an amazing career, she hasn’t.
Wow. Not only publicly insulting someone of Elton’s level but you never tangle with an old queen- no matter how clever you are (or think you are) they’ll always win.
I have read he can really carry a grudge but I think in this case if she makes amends (and soon) he might forgive as she is still pretty young and inexperienced.
Anyone else think this might have something to do with losing her child and the abrupt way her ex dumped her afterwards? I know she liked to go out and stuff before all that but she seems more unhinged after that.
Not parent material, clearly.
How the F U C K is this girl FAT, Leandra????
🙄 FFS 🙄
Clearly she was in the wrong, but Elton John should have known better than to bait a drunk.
Her dress is fug. It looks like she wrapped her bedspread around herself, along with a pile of laundry that was laying on top, and off she went to go f*ck up her “career” even more.
I’m STILL not exactly sure who she is. I gather from this and other posts that she is a singer? I’ve never heard one of her songs, that I know of. 😐
Breakups can be rough, but that’s no excuse to get completely trashed every day and physically and/or verbally attack everyone that you come into contact with. ESPECIALLY if you’re in the public eye.
Got a video link of this?
Amen, Allie
At Duda: she does write her own music, and its actually quite good. This website has it’s biases, and they’re just as harsh as perezhilton. They’ve just avoided actually drawing on the pictures.
It must be rough suffering a miscarriage and then getting unceremoniously dumped by your partner, but she ought to be a bit more professional on the job. I mean, she is getting paid to dress up like a marshmellow introduce guests, not stumble around stage and be the night’s entertainment. Hit the bar after work Lilly, if you can’t limit it to a shot or two to take the nerves off.
also, there’s a video on evilbeet.blogspot.com and she never says “fuck off” a second time. If anything, you can tell they were both being rude to each other.
bobbi pudd: what a STUPID narrow minded comment! Shame on you!
When is she going to drop off the end of the earth already. She’s got more attention whoring tricks than Sienna and Lohan put together.
Elton John is on tape saying, Lily Allen is my friend, Jamie Winstone told the media that Lily Allen is bullied by the press, and that everything is fine. Lily Allen feels she is bullied by the press, (I agree) they do make her sound like an alcoholic, but these are false press reports, countless pictures and paparazzi video tape proves it.Lily Allen can not walk her dog, or drop off her dry cleaning,without being followed.This is so annoying, that she can’t even leave her ex-boyfriends house with her hair slightly mussed without the press saying, she was there for a little romp.she is being stalked. When she gets drunk, (it’s her right to do that but not at an award show)the press blows it out of proportion. Elton John was very wrong for mentioning drug, and a ceremony, that benefits his aids foundation.
