Lily Allen angry at "bitter" press over Elton John GQ row

Lily Allen says her reported bust-up with Elton John at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards was made in jest, and blames bitter journalists for the story.

Lily Allen is angry at the way her reported bust up with Elton John at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards was reported. In a post on her MySpace blog, she said that it was all done in jest and there were no hard feelings.

She wrote: "Elton John and I are friends. I was honoured when Elton asked me to present the GQ awards with him this year in association with Elton's AIDS foundation. Not only was it for a good cause but who would say no to Elton. I'm not defending my drunkeness because I don't need to. I'm 23, it was an awards ceremony, I drank the free champagne, how awful of me. Trying to create a feud on the other hand, and trying to make me out as being some rude little girl with a drink problem is just unfair. Elton and I exchanged jokes and there were no hard feelings at all. In fact, neither of us gave it a second thought. It's sad that an evening enjoyed by all had to ruined by some bitter journos again".

So, there you go. Lily Allen is not a rude drunk. She's an unprofessional rude drunk.
