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.
The British sewer newspaper News or the world printed to a couple quotes selectively from the interview which had Revu with headstock ASTRE Lily all, so that she seems encourage parents all of a sudden their children conduct narcotics. Lily have called in its lawyer.
On its Twitter-pagina wrote Lily vannacht: “Phoning my lawyers and taking legal action, news or the world need a better dutch translator, ash if I would say that. And they know it…” and vervolgens: “wont pay attention the cunts ruin her day. I scored the tripple, forty-five, album and airplay. couldn’ t be mouthful worm, thank you.”
Lily all react to reported News or the world. According to the British gossip newspaper Lily moedigt parents to their kroost at narcotics conduct. , The singer said a couple weeks suffered in Revu: “Narcotics do crazy things with your brain. Some people do not react good, some. Try it once and look what you find of it.” Our booklet has meanwhile arrived on the redactie of News or the world, where the British vertaalmachine made of it this: “Lily said: Parents should say, ‘narcotics 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 alert journalists forgot thereby communicate that Lily in the same subparagraph said that prohibiting narcotics works correctly wrongly. “How more often you say against children that they must take no narcotics, how leuker seem it.”
It is as a matter of fact funny to see how quote change if it returns of Dutch to English to Dutch. According to the site Primeurjagers.nl Lily say: `Do bowl there himself but behind what it must you. Goeiemorgen!
Crazy Dutchmen. Speak English!

There’s probably a lot of mean things I could say here… like the correlations between drugs and miscarriages… but, you know, I’ll refrain.
Did you know she has a superfluous third nipple? I guess she’s more likely to vomit on you than she is to shoot at you in a hall of mirrors while a midget is watching. That’s what I did this weekend. The shooting midgets thing, not the vomiting thing. Those guys are hard to spot in the grass.
It’s hard though isn’t it?
It’s funny how famous people can have substance problems but they MAYBE go away to “Sunny Meadows”. But an average person, and they’re serving time. For the sake of all things, someone please lock her up. It’s not like she produces anything of quality, this includes her outer appearance as well.
And the first two aren’t too great either.
Wow, this whole rant just makes my head explode. Someone’s been enjoying too many illicit substances…and it ain’t me.
Lily Allen whines “Mothers and sisters should be role models. Not pop stars or actresses.” That’s celebrity-ese for “It steams me that I can’t get a free pass from the press to do whatever I want.”
Aw man… I’ve been waiting to post this for me. I guess Simon gets it. Damn.

She used to be hot, kinda. I would have hit it a few years back…then she stole my 8ball.
Maybe she should continue to do drugs so no one has to listen her. Either that or give me some so I don’t care what she says.
Wow England is on a roll….Princess Charles, Wine-o-House, this tart and the 13 year old dad
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10164448-71.html
Yeah Lily….you are a foolish girl. If she would just keep her trap shut she would stay out of trouble. I mean we all have opinions, if she wants to announce them to the world, especially when it has something to do with “controversial” issues she can expect to be trashed by people.
A 13 year old dad? I saw that story. That’s psychotic. When I was 13 it was still silver Trans Am jackets, and my 15th viewing of “Empire Strikes Back”. Kids today.
AND STAY THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!
Boy, this is sad. Do record companies and agents encourage this kind of thing with their charges? :-O
While I totally agree with her about the role model thing…
Damn girl. Just, damn.
wow you guys are slow. she already posted that News of the world did a bad bad translation of the dutch interview they used. she never said such a thing.
sorry to see deciever start to suck. btw, using news of the world for a source is almost as bad a celebrities deciving their fans.
this chick just says dumb crap to get attention. so pathetic.. hey remember when she was pregnant? geez.
You know, I agree about the whole role model thing too. I don’t believe that any of these ass clowns should be held up to role model standard to begin with. I am not for anyone doing hard drugs, but I feel that marijuana should be legal and hardly consider it a drug. However, Lily Allen seriously just needs to STFU and do what she is supposed to be famous for, and that’s sing.
I’ve got a lot of tolerance for Lilly at the moment, I love her new single, hah. I can also see the argument from her point of view (even if I don’t agree with it.)
Take a look at Britain’s alcohol problems vs. France’s, where from a relatively young age children are encouraged to drink small amounts of wine with meals in a family environment. In Britain every Monday morning at work/school/whatever is spent regaling tales of how many litres of vomit an individual managed to produce over the weekend. Drinking is the be all and end all for so many people of so many backgrounds and it’s tragic. This isn’t the case in France, shockingly.
Having said that, I would have been horrified if my parents had ever produced a joint or pills for me.
And having said THAT I’ve just noticed the source of this was News Of The World. I’d take the whole article with a bucketload of salt.
Why is anyone listening to this git? She’s thoroughly, utterly useless and stupid. Why would anyone actually bother holding out a mic for her to blather into, or why would anyone bother transcribing anything she has to say? It’s like publicizing the “BA BA BA BA” uttered by someone in a vegetative state, except that most people in that condition didn’t inflict the condition on themselves.
Which brings us back to Lily Allen…I give it five years, tops. She’ll be burbling into a set of dignity drawers sooner than that, probably.
Start to?
Hey, Pasta, go easy on the Star Wars references, you’ll get me all hot and bothered over here!
And no, Lara, the argument that “exposure to alcohol in other countries has people handling it better–let’s do the same thing with drugs” does its own faceplant in two big ways–(1) Alcoholism is big over the pond, too, it’s just kept a lot quieter because we Americans like to point the finger and say, “Look! Look how perfect they are!” I did a study on fetal alcohol syndrome recently and the levels are sky-high over there. Huh. Wonder why. (Subpoint to no. 1–The Irish and presumably other ethnic groups in that part of Europe are genetically more resistant to alcoholism, so what’s good for them won’t necessarily be good for us. Unless you’re full-blooded Irish, and in that case, watch out because you’re also more genetically bent toward manic depression.)
(2) Alcohol is LEGAL. Drugs are ILLEGAL. Wait, let’s go through that again. LEGAL—–ILLEGAL! See the difference? Any parents who encourage their kid to do something illegal is doing more than just desensitizing them to its presence–they’re telling the kid, “Look, see if the law works for you, and if it doesn’t, screw it.” My advice? Let’s not take drug tips from somebody who’s horizontal more than she’s vertical. Just a thought.
i think she likes mouthing of and bitching about people, its obvious she just CRAVES attention and the more publicity she gets the more she can whine about it, she likes whining ._.
Sorry Habanada, I don’t know which side of the pond you’re referring to. [I'm British, I don't know if you picked up on that from my post.]
I was looking at it from a purely British vs French perspective. I don’t believe the French gentle-exposure method nurtures the same obsessive and immature relationship that the British public have with it. I think trying to enforce a total ban on alcohol until 18/21 years of age puts it on some sort of pedestal and makes people more likely to go crazy with it. I think the same would apply to soft drugs like ecstacy and weed. If they’re not built up to be a big deal, then people won’t treat them like one.
I don’t see how fetal alcohol syndrome is relevant in this argument. Unless we’re talking about taking it so far as parents introducing narcotics to unborn children, which we’re not.
And finally, I don’t agree with the legal/illegal thing. My parents gave me alcohol when I was legally underage and I’m hardly a raving degenerate now. In fact I barely ever drink, (despite the need to drown my depression on account of my full-blooded Irish ancestry
.)
Anyway, I’ll stop being boring now. Hope this didn’t sound arsey, I don’t normally comment and I’m out of practice at internet debating!
Lily Allen grew up in a family of degenerates so we can’t be surprised at her libertine attitudes. The kid probably got hard liquor and coke lines for her birthday instead of punch and cake.
I think the “don’t look up to me” thing is a bit of cop out. Entertainers want credit for the supposedly good influences they have, which is why they’re always running off to Africa or doing global warming concerts, but never want responsibility for any negative influences. Yapping about politics or collecting orphans is making a difference, but caught smoking a fatty while driving 100 mph and carrying an underage prostitute in the trunk and it’s all, “Hey, who said I was a role model?”
Lara, you bring up some interesting points about British (and U.S.) vs. French attitudes toward alcohol. I don’t think putting alcohol ‘on a pedestal’ is particularly healthy either, but I think Habanada’s point was that even the French ‘gentle-exposure method’ isn’t that effective in preventing alcoholism or decreasing alcoholism rates. My guess is that alcoholism and people’s use of and tolerance to drinking is highly individual, as you yourself point out.
The alcohol vs. ecstasy/weed thing is an ongoing debate that I won’t rehash here, but as a parent I think about it often. Seems to me there is a difference between giving a teenager a glass of wine, with the understanding that eventually they’ll be of legal drinking age, and giving or allowing a teenager to smoke dope or drop X, which won’t be legal for them ever (if current laws hold). That may sound like hypocrisy, but it’s what I’ll be telling my kid when she’s older.
And finally, Lara, thanks for arguing your points logically and cogently, and not getting personally insulted and flouncing off in a huff when someone questioned them. It’s refreshing to see such behavior on a blog. Cheers.
I really want to like this girl. I love her voice. It is unique and pleasing to my ears. The music is off the wall as well, yet accessible. Myspace had the new album on sale for $3.99 on Amazon so I bought it…there it is…”F*%K You.” The song pissed me off not because it was slamming George Bush, but because her facts were so wrong. She’s slamming the guy, making him sound anti gay, but W was recorded in an interview before his election that he didn’t believe gays should be punching bags to the religious right. Just drives me bonkers. I want to listen to a record to enjoy myself and maybe think on some of the issues…not be pissed off that ANOTHER entertainer opened their mouth on a subject they didn’t research on.
Lara, I hate to point it out, but many of my best friends live in France, are French, and/or are married to French people, and they all tell me that the supposed “slow introduction” method the French use is not as effective as you might think. There are an awful lot of French people getting wasted on alcohol (and French women staying thin via anorexia, but that’s another argument), though not as blatantly, perhaps, as many Americans do. Get a load of this:
“Concern over the recent increase in alcohol use among French youth, as well as a heightened perception of the seriousness of the medical and social problems resulting from France’s high rates of alcoholism, prompted a recent visit from members of the French National Congress to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. The six-member delegation was part of a special mission on alcohol and health, which is gathering information to reform current laws representing national alcohol policy in France.”
This from the National Institute of Health here in America. If they’re looking to Americans for advice on alcohol policy, I think they’re very concerned that they may have a big alcohol problem on their hands.
i think that lily allen has the bad choise to say that kids should take drugs
