They step outside for a cigarette even though it’s freezing cold!

Actually, this celeb is NOT like me anymore!!! I’m over THREE MONTHS smoke-free, bitches!!! It was actually way harder not to smoke during my trip to LA. I think it’s because I’m now used to driving the streets of Seattle without a cigarette hanging out of my window, but I still associated LA driving with smoking. Combine that with the stress levels of going back to my old home and seeing people (and guys I used to date) for the first time in ages, people who I was very close to and then left rather suddenly and without much explanation and who still resent me a little for that, and, just, UGH. Let’s just say it’s a damn miracle I didn’t smoke. But I didn’t!

And now that my lungs are pretty much back to normal capacity, I’m doing something previously unthinkable. I am training for a half-marathon. Yeah, that’s right, me. Running 13.1 miles. Me. I still don’t completely believe I can do it, but I’m doing everything the damn training schedule says and I’m just going to trust that it’ll work. I’m running the Rock & Roll half-marathon in Arizona in January along with a group of my girlfriends from high school and college. I’m excited and nervous and kind of amazed at myself that I’m even willing to ATTEMPT something like this. Like, before, if my friends had been like, “Hey, you wanna train for a half-marathon with us?” I would have spit out my vodka so hard it would have drenched my cigarette. But today? Today, I’m like, “Yeah, sure, I’ll give it a go.” In. Sanity. But I’m psyched about it.

Anyway, here’s Lily outside the GQ party in London.

Katy Perry looks absolutely edible at the Dior show at Paris fashion week.

Honestly I feel like if I licked her she would taste like candy.

Also there: Lily Allen, Dita Von Teese, Milla Jovovich and Travis McCoy.

Lily Allen turned to her MySpace blog to discuss the drunken incident with Elton John at the GQ awards earlier this week:

Hi , 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 honoured 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.

The last time Lily was on her MySpace blog to discuss her drunken behavior at a very public event where she was expected to act professionally and didn’t was just this past June.

Hey, Lily?

You actually do need to defend your drunkenness. You’re 23 years old. You’re not a child. You’re a professional who was asked to do a job. You did not have a couple of sips of champagne — you got wasted, on the job. For the second time in three months. Most 23-year-olds, actually, don’t get completely wasted when they have actual responsibilities to fulfill. I’m just saying.

It looks like Elton John got a little fed up with Lily’s drunken antics last night as the twosome co-hosted the GQ awards in London.

The music veteran called out the 23-year-old pop singer for swearing and slurring her way through her dialogue as she drank champagne, according to the Times. “What, you are going to have another drink?” John asked.

That’s when the real cat fight got under way. “F— off, Elton,” Allen responded, while celebs like TV chef Gordon Ramsay, producer Mark Ronson, actress Thandie Newton and model Elle MacPherson looked on. “I’m 40 years younger than you. I have my whole life ahead of me.”

John, 61, quipped, “I could still snort you under the table.”

Allen then tried to play it off, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

She continued to steal the spotlight when Tony Bennett took the stage to accept the Inspiration Award. As John introduced the 82-year-old crooner, Allen announced, “I’ll still f— him.”

Oh, man. You wanna see the video, you say?

Heh. It’s after the jump. And it’s hilarious.

(more…)

Here’s Ms. Lily Allen and her cigarette leaving the GQ awards last night. Sources report that she was unsteady on her feet — and that she changed her dress right before making her exit. Hm.

Lily Allen is totally like what Amy Winehouse would be if no one had introduced her to crack.

Oh, Lily.

You just can’t stay out of trouble these days, can you?

Lily was stumbling between London clubs at 1:30 in the morning when a random fan started talking shit to her. The obvious response? Lily punched her three times. The paps say she landed all three punches solidly. And she would have kept going, except her friends pulled her away and put her in the car.

Rock on, Lily.

This is kind of what I’d like to do to Microsoft right now. I just had my FOURTH core dump of the night as I was downloading these photos of Lily. Folks, please let me serve as a warning to you: DON’T BUY ANYTHING WITH VISTA INSTALLED ON IT. And this is AFTER THE SERVICE PACK they released in the spring. I remember we had to write our own operating systems in my OS class in college, when I studied computer science. I drank a lot back in those college days, and I’m pretty sure I was loaded while I was coding most of that project. Just sitting at my Unix terminal for hours and hours with nothing but rum and Coke and CS books. Nonetheless, when I was done, I had created an operating system that NEVER, EVER HAD A CORE DUMP. I did it all by myself. DRUNK. Before I was even old enough to legally drink. It is not that hard.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, MICROSOFT???

I’m buying a Mac first thing tomorrow. You finally lost me, Mr. Gates.

Looks like things are definitely back on with Lily Allen and her former flame Ed Simons, from The Chemical Brothers.

The couple were spotted walking together at the Oxegen Festival in Dublin this weekend.

Aw, I’m happy for Lily. I hope this works out for her.
