Elton John and Lily Allen

UPDATE: You can read Lily’s version of the evening on her MySpace page.

These days, telling people Lily Allen had a drunken night is like telling people Amy Winehouse is still on drugs. The news is kind of expected.

But last night in London, a surprising thing happened to Lily. Not only were her boozing ways called out—they were spotlighted in a very public forum.

While emceeing Britain’s version of the GQ Men of the Year Awards, the 23-year-old was rarely seen without a champagne glass wrapped tightly in her hands. This sad behavior (coupled with her slurred words and F-bombs) bothered Elton John so much, the co-host eventually let her know it. What followed was a very tense and nasty exchange between the two musicians.

Shia LaBeouf shows off his injured rest whilst on a smoke break

Hollywood’s leading man has been quite the center of attention since he and his costar Isabel Lucas were involved in an accident early Sunday morning.

Transformers Director Rushes to Shia LaBeouf’s Defense

Shia just might get out of that DUI chargeAs we reported earlier, Transformers 2 star Shia LaBeouf may not be at fault for the accident he found himself in early Sunday morning, but he is still facing DUI charges.

Seeing as the powers that be apparently don’t want to see Shia turn out like his fellow Disney stars (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears), it appears as if his blockbuster-making pal, Michael Bay, has come to his rescue!

The Transformers director adamantly insists that his beloved actor was not intoxicated that night:

“He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before… We had a little heart to heart the week before when he bought a brand new motorcycle. I [said], ‘Dude! You cannot ride that motorcycle! If you crash, you put 1,500 people out of work.’ He said, ‘Ok, I won’t ride it, I won’t ride it. I’ll just drive my truck’.”

LaBeouf Reportedly Not to Blame for Crash

Categories: Movies, Drunk, Legal Issues, Breaking News

Shia LaBeoufAfter escaping charges for being drunk at a Chicago Walgreen’s and for puffing away where he wasn’t supposed to, it’s now looking Shia LaBeouf could luck out again.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, it appears the actor was not at fault for Sunday’s accident at all. Spokesman Steve Whitmore says the driver of the other vehicle actually ran a red light and caused Shia’s vehicle to flip. (You can see video of his overturned car here.)

But this isn’t to say the 22-year-old will get away without at least a slap on his injured wrist. Although he may not have been the cause of the crash, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t driving drunk. Officers report that he exhibited “obvious signs of intoxication” at the scene.

LaBeouf - who has not yet been arraigned on any DUI charges - is expected to return to the set of within a month.

Isabel Lucas may be in a bit of trouble as wellBy the looks of it, Shia LaBeouf’s DUI charges may not be the last of his problems concerning this accident.

Days have gone by with all of us wondering who was in the passenger’s seat? Well, turns out it’s his Transformers 2 costar Isabel Lucas. The problem is that Lucas isn’t dating Shia—she’s dating Entourage star Adrian Grenier!

Lucas, who has been dating Grenier since February, may be in a bit of a relationship difficulty, considering sources are saying Grenier isn’t happy with the fact that his girlfriend was out partying with her gorgeous costar in the wee hours of the Hollywood morning. When asked to comment on how Lucas was feeling post-crash, Grenier became a bit quick-tempered and refused to comment.

It may have been a slightly bad call on Isabel’s part, seeing as her “friend” has a misdemeanor on his hands for drunk driving.

No Cosmos for Kristin Davis

Posted by K.C. Morgan
Categories: Movies

Kristin Davis star Kristin Davis (we know her best as Charlotte York-Goldenblatt) recently sat down with Health magazine to talk Sex, cosmopolitans and her past. What she revealed may seem more than surprising to die-hard Sex fans.

You’re in a fashionable Manhattan club when you notice sitting some stools away. If your first impulse is to tell the barkeep to send a cosmo over her way, resist. In her interview, Davis admitted that she used to suffer from alcoholism - and she never touches the bevy of free cocktails she receives from faithful fans. “I get sent many a cosmo,” Davis admitted. “I never drink them...Why risk it?”

Unlike her happily married character, Davis, 43, is still a single gal with no kids to call her own. She would, however “love to have children.” Davis said she admires , and would consider adoption. But let’s not cash it all in just yet. Kristin also admitted “I would still like to find a man and have a baby with him.” Just remember, guys, cosmos definitely aren’t the way to her heart.

Lindsay Lohan passed out

Oh, Linds.  Whatever are we going to do with you?

After a recently-rehabbed Lindsay Lohan was spotted drinking back in January, enablers of the star tried to come to her defense.  At the time, a friend told the NY Daily News, “Lindsay is learning how to work through her addictions and, once in a while, she chooses to have a cocktail.” Well, it seems she needs to ‘work’ a bit harder.

According to People, the actress has been spending a lot of time with her BFF Samantha Ronson lately.  Unfortunately, to ‘hang out’ with a deejay, one is usually required to spend a lot of time in clubs.  Very smart.  Why don’t we just throw the girl in a liquor store?

Amy Winehouse drinking

While I doubt I would ever entrust my children with her, I have to admit—I never thought could hold up a child with those scrawny arms of hers. 

And she can obviously multi-task, so she’s apparently got far more talent that I would have ever imagined.

Rehab Star Cut Off

Mary CareyAlthough she seemed very determined to quit her boozing ways, is apparently still having problems quitting the bottle altogether.

The former porn star was one of several celebrities who opened up about their troubled pasts on the recent season of .  Carey voluntarily checked herself in hoping to separate herself from that segment of the film industry and to stop her destructive drinking.

Unfortunately, the 27-year-old was reportedly seen downing a glass of wine in New York last week.  When a member of a restaurant staff recognized her, she was later cut off.  Despite her slip-up, Mary later claimed that she was “37 days” sober.  (Apparently things made from grapes don’t count?)

While we’d like to think that she has been sober for longer (the show started airing in January), we sadly realize rehab stories do not all end well.  Here’s to hoping that Carey’s recent incident was only just a minor bump on her road to good health.
