Lily Allen: I'm Still 'Friends' with Elton John
Originally posted 09/05/2008 01:10PM
Lily Allen spoke out Friday about her spat with Elton John at a London awards show Tuesday night.
"Elton John and I are friends," the pop star writes in a new entry on her MySpace blog.
The online posting refers to an incident when an apparently tipsy Allen clashed with John at the GQ Men of the Year awards ceremony, which the pair co-presented on Sept. 2.
As Allen, 23, introduced a segment as a "very special point in the evening," John, 61, said, "What, you are going to have another drink?"

Elton John and Lily Allen Clash at Awards Show
Originally posted 09/03/2008 10:50AM
A visibly tipsy Lily Allen got into a profanity-laced verbal spat with Elton John onstage as the two hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London Tuesday night.
As Allen introduced a segment as a "very special point in the evening," according to the The Times of London, John questioned: "What, you are going to have another drink?"
In front of an audience that included Gordon Ramsay, producer Mark Ronson (brother of Samantha) and London mayor Boris Johnson, the 23-year-old pop star shot back, "F--- off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than you. I have my whole life ahead of me." To which the 61-year-old John replied, "I could still snort you under the table."
Allen followed the exchange with a crude ad lib when 82-year-old Tony Bennett was presented with the night's Inspiration Award. As John introduced Bennett, pointing out his age, Allen broke in, declaring: "I'll still [have sex with] him."

Elton Slams U.S. 'Misogynistic Attitudes' at Hillary Concert
Originally posted 04/10/2008 12:30PM
Wednesday night's all right for stumping!
The latest celebrity to take sides in this year's Presidential election is Sir Elton John, whose "Elton and Hillary: One Night Only" concert in New York City Wednesday raised $2.5 million for Clinton's campaign. "I've always been a Hillary supporter," the singer told the crowd at Radio City Music Hall. "There is no one more qualified to lead America."
The British singer, who, of course, is not allowed to vote in this country, played his hits "Border Song" and "Your Song," adding: "I'm amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some of the people in this country. And I say to hell with them...I love you Hillary, I'll be there for you."
Former president Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea joined Hillary at the Radio City Music Hall event, where she addressed her race against fellow Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, telling the crowd: "What I want you to know is I'm still standing, and I believe this country is worth fighting for."

Elton's Frilly Curtain Call
Originally posted 12/14/2007 12:55PM
Taking the show's theme to the extreme, Elton John burst onto the stage in a pink tutu at the Sydney premiere of the musical Billy Elliot at the Capitol Theatre Thursday. The singer, who composed the show's score, took a bow, accompanied by the four young actors (also in the trademark tutus) who alternate in the lead role – as John's husband David Furnish watched from the audience.
