Lily Allen appeared on The View earlier this week, so she naturally talked sexism with the estrogen-only panel. Lily was a crazy, drunk b*tch the past few years but she's trying to blame her party girl image on sexism. Riiight.
Speaking about her first album Alright, Still, Lily said: ‘I took a bit of a beating the first time around. I became more famous for being a train wreck than a singer. I didn’t think I was capable of writing songs and making music.’
‘Young women are represented in a way that isn’t true. If a girl is having a drink she’s a drunk, if that happens with a guy it’s not portrayed the same way.’
Lily Allen speaks the truf! But coming from a drunken, cocaine-loving b*tch, her statement lacks all credibility. Bad girls receive more publicity than bad boys, but when you're drunk and high, you're drunk and high. Sexism or not, no drunk girl story would be created and no pictures would have been generated if Lily had remained sober in public. I commend her attempts to spin, though. Lily would do well on Fox News.

She has a point and guys get an easier ride.
Note to self: MUST start spelling the word "truth", "truf"!

Historically, I think society always has been structured in terms of drinking being "macho" and largely a male activity, so I agree with Lily that females are perceived differently in that regard. And, for some reason, Hollywood has also seemingly had love affairs with starlets going buck wild because I think they deem it more exciting than their male counterparts. *hint* *hint* Crazy, emaciated girl in the previous bottom posts..

You'll see that by looking at the date(s) on the pictures of Lily Allen

that her drinking in public was weeks and sometimes months apart. she has a good point.

Also Lily Allen is suing a tabloid magazine, for printing false remarks about her. Claiming that she encouraged children to do drugs, she has further clarified on her twitter page and on video that she does not do drugs. It would seem to me that a person rumored to take so much cocaine would have been arrested at least once, Lily Allen has no criminal record outstanding, or previous record of any nature.

A picture from the 2008 Glamor awards? that makes a point for Lily Allen, but not for the people that write about her. Sooooo played and over used. ancient history for her. A direct quote is; I'm not going to give people ammunition to make feel foolish anymore. So now it has to go back to this!

The press and some people in general made a big deal out of nothing when Lily Allen was drunk at the glamor awards, she was not offensive to anyone, the exact opposite, funny, charming and very cute.
