The Celebrity Truth

Lily Allen has posted a blog dismissing reports of a fight with Elton John onstage at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London on Tuesday (September 2), and has a message for the paparazzi camped outside of her home.

Footage of Allen, who was visibly tipsy and sipping on champagne, and John has made headline news around the world, with most gossip columns reporting the exchange as a ‘War of Words’

Allen defended herself on her MySpace writing, “Now it’s all died down I’m saying my side of what I can’t believe is considered to be a story.  Elton john and I are friends. I was honored when Elton asked me to present the GQ awards with him this year in association with Elton’s AIDS foundation. Not only was it for a good cause but who would say no to Elton.

“I’m not defending my drunkeness because i don’t need to, I’m 23 it was an awards ceremony I drank the free champagne, how awful of me.  Trying to create a feud on the other hand, and trying to make me out as being some rude little girl with a drink problem is just unfair, Elton and I exchanged jokes and there were no hard feelings at all, infact neither of us gave it a second thought. It’s sad that an evening enjoyed by all had to ruined by some bitter journos again.”

She continues, “I turned up and presented an awards ceremony for charity, I drank some champagne and went home for 12.30 and again I’ve been made to feel like a bad friend and an embarrassment to my fans and the people who support me. I shouldn’t have to defend myself when I’ve done nothing wrong.

“And by the way, to all the photographers waiting outside my house. I won’t be leaving for a while, all my friends have gone to Bestival and i’ve got enough food and fags to last me till wednesday, so you might as well f*ck off and find somebody else to make miserable.”
