Lily Allen shocks again, not coincidentally as she’s promoting her new album It’s Not Me, It’s You.
As previously reported, the serially stoned singer is no stranger to popping illegal substances, even though she’s publicly mocked rival Amy Winehouse’s substance abuse problems.
Now she thinks parents should do more to encourage their kids to try illegal drugs. Because it’s worked so well for her.
She said potentially lethal Class A drugs like ecstasy MIGHT not harm [kids] — so the best way to find out was to take them.
Lily said: “Parents should say, ‘Drugs might seem fun, but they do funny things to your brain. Some people react to it good, some don’t. Try it and see what you think’.”
The star—who slurped wine during a shambolic gig this weekend—said only fame stops her bingeing on ecstasy pills.
Lily, 23, admits: “If I hadn’t been famous I’d have taken loads. Wouldn’t be too wise right now.”
She adds: “I’ve never been good with cocaine or drugs like that. They make me passionately angry on everything. I steer clear of heroin or crack.” Lily is set to go to number one today with her new album It’s Not Me, It’s You.
But she moans she doesn’t want to be a role model. She whines: “Mothers and sisters should be role models. Not pop stars or actresses.”
Especially mothers who encourage their daughters to trip on ecstasy. But don’t you worry about being a role model, Lily Allen. I don’t think you’re in any danger of having anyone look up to you. It’s hard anyway, with you always passed out on the floor.
UPDATE: Lily Allen twittered that her interview with Dutch magazine Revu was improperly translated and she’s pursuing legal action against News of the World. Since it has a dog in this fight, Revu posted a response. In Dutch. Click the jump to see what Babelfish tells me they’re saying.
