Allen defends Winehouse

Lily Allen has defended Amy Winehouse, saying she is clever, funny and intelligent, not just a drug user as people portray her.

Lily Allen has said that Amy Winehouse isn't just a druggie, like everyone thinks she is. Actually, I've never thought she was just a druggie, I've always thought of her as a very talented and clever (if 'troubled') individual and I suspect that many other people would agree with me.

However, I expect there are people out there who will benefit from Allen's wisdom on the subject anyway, so here's what she says. "I know Amy Winehouse very well and she is very different to what people portray her as being. Yes, she does get out of her mind on drugs sometimes, but she is also a very clever, intelligent, witty, funny person who can hold it together. You just don't see that side. She gets a really hard time".

So, all you Winehouse critics, be told.
