Lily Allen urged to go to rehab

2/10/2008 2:40:00 PM, Prev Next

Lily Allen's spate of publically drunken episodes lately have allegedly left friends seriously concerned for the singer's health.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper that the pop sensation needs help.

"We all think it's time she considered rehab. She drinks too much, then feels depressed," said the source, adding that the singer didn't think anything was wrong with her behaviour.

"Her attitude is: 'I like to let my hair down and have a good time, who doesn't?"

Sure, Lily's had a few embarrassing incidents lately – including being carried out of the Glamour Woman of the Year awards in July, and swearing at Elton John at the GQ Awards last month – but does that really warrant rehab?

The singer, seen above arriving bright-eyed at Paris Fashion Week, is quick to admit on her myspace blog she goes overboard sometimes, but insists her behaviour is normal for someone her age.

"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," Lily wrote in the wake of the Elton scandal.

people are dying all over the world from starvation..... who cares if she is drunk, big deal ! all you people who judge something so stupid should concentrate your energy on something that actually matters.

who gives a toss, rock on lily ")

some realizisim needs to brought into the picture... 1. she is young, nieve and in need of a adult 'shaperone' to supervise and advise behaviour in order to succeed in this line of work and life style 2. you were giving away the alcohol to anyone, she is a minor and cant handle it 3. you broke the law permitting underage drinking in a pubic venue 4. what sort of role model is an ex alcoholic drug taking old man who ran his life like this practically the whole time and was still proud to say ..'he could snort her under the table... gee proud moment 5. if you want your presenters to not embarrass you stop giing them the multitudes of alcohol there is plenty of time later at parties for their drinking i think the paparrazzi need to look in the right direction for the blame on celebrities at events... how about the hosts and managers etc

The reaction, to this is way too harsh! Hay, how can Lily Allen wear that long dress, and be seen (without her assistant) and be so drunk, that she cant' walk? answer! she was not that drunk, she tried to read off the teleprompter, and was given a sarcastic remark by Elton John!Countless Photos prove that she leads a sober life, it's only the press reports that say she has a problem, and while I'm here.. Elton John is on video tape saying Lily Allen is my friend, Jamie Winstone is on video take saying she is bullied by the press. Cannes film festival, the glamour awards the so called fight in the street, and the G.Q. awards, are what is causing this. They were all too far apart for a drinking problem. She lets her hair down sometimes so what? I love her!

cheers lily! get *** and party hard! f*** the haterz! they need to worry about their own life and not yours.

This little *** embarrassed an icon of the music industry in Elton John. Yeah she needs rehab - for her brain!

if this were an aussie footy player or even most sports, sporting personalitys would agree if they were to act the same way as lily they would have to pay for it by fines or suspention or even worse (she is lucky she dose not have to take random drug test) to all these people saying get off her back thats *** she deserves more and she needs to pay for her choices she is also a role model to loads of people so why do they (movie music and performers alike) all get away with this continuing poor behavior, why do sports persons have to take so much slack when really there in it mainly for there own passions to play as best as they can and always strive to beat your own personal best but the others like lily can get trashed rock up to places out of it and get away with it all but maybe a sling at there personality big deal no wonder they continue in this fashion its wrong we the people pay there wages too so why don't they have to live to the same exspectations as the rest of us

I think she's sowewhat too old to drink, here the youngster take their experiences at about 16 years old... But in northern countries it also help to get some warmth... But hey who am i to criticize another human being!?

Yes, she is young. However she should still controll her behaviour when she is making public appearances such as her night with Elton John. I am 21 and I drink pretty much every night of the week. But if I knew I was going to have a night like that particular one, I would have toned down on the drinking. Considering she tried to talk down on (drunkardly) Elton John who has most definitely drank more, snorted more, licked more, swallowed more drugs than Lilly Allen could ever imagine. She just can't handle her booze, it *** with her head therefore she shouldn't do it. Not her fault, just born that way. If she is going to carry on this way at every ceremony she is invited to, then she isn't really entitled to her fame is she? I thought fame was about talent, not *** behaviour. Everyone in Nimbin, Australia should be famous if this the acceptable, normal way of life of a celebrity. From Glenn. Peace out ***

"i'm 23 it was an awards ceremony i drank the free champagne, how awful of me" Thats all good and dandy, but she wasn't just your average antendee. She was helping give awards. With that comes the responsiblity of keeping sober and doing your actually job. If she can't stay sober doing her job, no matter even if she is going through a rough time, she shouldn't be hosting at all. How would your boss like it if you turned up work drunk, and all your customers could see you? Mine would most likely me to start looking elsewhere for my paycheck. Rehab? Meh, too much for a drinking problem after so many personal problems. She reallys needs to get some time to herself, take a holiday. If should could do that peacefully without the media after her that would go a great way to helping her out upstairs.

A Lily Allen comeback? Already? MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 10 2010 10:58AM

In what could be the shortest retirement ever, Lily Allen is reconsidering her retirement plans just months after announcing she had quit music for good.

After promising It's Not Me, It's You would be her final album, Allen is already regretting her decision. "I keep thinking I am letting down all my fans," the singer told the UK's Metro . "Can I do it to them? It's a tough decision."

It must be the month of broken promises, with Allen returning to her twittering ways. The singer, well known for her Twitter addiction went cold turkey last year due to "technology overload," the UK's Glamour magazine reported.

But to the joy of twits everywhere Lily returned last week, proclaiming her love for Lady Gaga ("She is the bestest beeyatch ever") and singing with joy over her three Brit Award nominations.

There has been a Jo'Bro sized hole in the airwaves lately with Joe busy missing out on tv cameos and Kevin getting hitched. Luckily Nick went solo and we have the album ready for your listening pleasure.

We've been hearing about Nick's new band 'The Administration' for a while now and the album definitely delivers on the rumoured 'more adult' sound he was aiming for.

Working with members of Prince's old band the youngest brother has delivered a rock-pop disc sounding far older than his age would suggest.

So if you've ever wondered what one bro would sound like...

READ COMMENTS 2 COMMENTS Beyonce stumbles and tumbles... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 9 2010 9:37AM

American Idol judges would have raved about Beyonce's performance after she managed to make an on-stage fall look like part of the show.

During her Brazilian concert last week, Beyonce's super-high stilettos got the better of her as she took a tumble mid-song.

Luckily for her and unluckily for the front row that could have got a piece of the star, she narrowly avoided falling off the stage and quickly regained her balance to continue belting out the song, 'Irreplaceable'.

This is the second fall of Beyonce's to become a YouTube sensation. The first was captured during a show three years ago in Orlando with the singer faceplanting down a flight of stairs.

Check out our gallery of the most embarrassing onstage blunders from the world's biggest stage stars. They'll never live down these babies!

READ COMMENTS 0 COMMENTS Justin Timberlake - not such a sexy blonde... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 8 2010 11:54AM

Justin Timberlake looked a little too comfortable in the blonde wig he wore last week to accept his 'Hasty Pudding Man of the Year' award from Harvard University.

Organisers said Timberlake was a "triple threat". "He sings, he dances and he goes straight to DVD," they said. The annual award is given to entertainers who have "made a lasting contribution to the world of entertainment".

JT also endured a roasting of people from his past including spoof versions of Madonna, 'N Sync and a fat-suited, pigtail-wearing Britney Spears.

But the 'Sexyback' singer, accompanied by girlfriend Jessica Biel (so much for the bust-up rumours), said the silver pudding pot prize was "cooler than a Grammy or Emmy". READ COMMENTS 0 COMMENTS
