Lily Allen says boyfriend, not Amy Winehouse, made her cry

Lily Allen has denied that Amy Winehouse or losing the Brit Awards made her cry, saying the tears came while saying goodbye to her boyfriend.

Lily Allen says that Amy Winehouse didn't make her cry, despite what reports might suggest. Recent pictures of Allen in tears were of the singer weeping as she said goodbye to her boyfriend, and not, as some suggested, of her blubbing because of an argument with Amy Winehouse, who of course beat her to 'Best British female' at the recent Brit awards.

Allen: "The story about me being in tears because I didn't win a Brit or had a fight with Amy is complete rubbish. She and I are friends and we were hanging out at the Brits and at the Oasis party afterwards. I was talking to her for ages. I always said that I wasn't expecting to win, and that if I wasn't going to win then I hoped Amy did. I'm very pleased for her. The pictures of me crying were taken when I was saying goodbye to my boyfriend who I haven't seen much of recently. I've been working really hard and travelling a lot and I only got to see him at the Brits so the tears were just because I was leaving to get on yet another plane".
