She’s claimed she’s fatter and a bigger lush than fellow British singing sensation Amy Winehouse – and apparently she was serious about that bold statement.
Winehouse recently admitted to not only bouts of depression, but self-mutilation.
Now, in a new interview, Amy’s pseudo-rival Lily Allen claims she’s an alcoholic and that she’s heading for an early death.
Alright, we get your point, Lily. But you’ve still got a ways to go before you catch Lindsay Lohan, who’s got one foot in the grave.
Allen, the UK pop starlet, who once got booted from school for performing sex acts, has endured a difficult few months in the public eye.
She’s been performing a string of live shows in America and feuding with Cheryl Tweedy from Girls Aloud.
However, despite strong reviews, the “Smile” singer has now insisted that her new lifestyle of constant touring has prompted an unhealthy love of booze.
Lily Allen says she needs to get back to the studio to work on the follow-up to acclaimed debut “Alright, Still” so she can get straightened out.
She explained: “I’m an alcoholic now. It’s not good and that’s why I want to get back into the studio.”
“I’ve actually pulled myself aside and said it will kill me if I keep it up,” she said. “I’ve got to stop abusing myself because as far as I’m concerned every loon hates me now.”
We thought it was merely marketing and self-promotion, but it’s possible Allen really is more screwed up than Amy Winehouse.
The latter is talking about taking a break from music altogether and settling down with Blake Fielder-Civil. Not exactly rebellious!
