Keith on Lily: Shut up

Keith Allen has told his daughter Lily Allen to stop saying outrageous things, arguing that fame is harder on women than men.

If Keith Allen thinks you should shut up and stop saying outrageous things, it's probably a sign that you've gone a bit too far, even if you are his daughter.

In an interview with Spin, Keith said: "I don't mind saying this, because I've told her already: she needs to know when to fucking shut up. As a man, I could drink, snort, and fuck to my heart's content without any detriment to my career. A girl cannot do that. The tabloids are shameless in trying to create a race-to-rehab between any girl out there who has a drink. Lily's learning what daddy learned long ago: fame is a pain in the fucking arse".

Speaking of which, if you fancy listening to a mini-mix of Lily's new album, on which she talks frankly about drugs and sex and that, go here.
