Lily Allen won't quit drugs
The 'Smile' singer, who attempted to punch a passer-by after leaving a London nightspot in the early hours of Tuesday morning (19.08.08), admits she isn't a "good person" when she is under the influence of illegal substances but still can't bring herself to quit. She told Paper magazine: "I'm not going to say I'm never going to do drugs again. I just know I'm not a good person on drugs."
However, the 23-year-old star insists she did stop using recreational drugs after she discovered she was expecting a baby with then-boyfriend Ed Simons last November.
Lily, who suffered a miscarriage in January, says she vowed to clean up her life for the sake of her unborn child.
She said: "It was the hardest thing for me. When I realised I was pregnant and realised I wanted to have the baby, I made a huge decision - to make my life more stable."
Lily has previously openly discussed her drug use, admitting she first began experimenting with ecstasy when she was just 14. Lily also claimed she thinks her drink was spiked in June this year when she was pictured being carried out of a party for the Glamour Magazine awards in London.
She said: "I did drink that night. Then I woke up in my bed at 8 am and felt totally fine. So I Googled myself, and I saw the pictures.
Lily Allen friends kidnap nightmare
Lily Allen has revealed her friend was kidnapped and kept in a car boot for six days. The singer was left 'terrified' by the ordeal and thanked London’s Metropolitan Police for foiling the plot as she co-hosted the GQ Men of the Year awards last night (02.09.08).
Lily, who shared presenting duties with Sir Elton John, said: 'My friend Charlie was kidnapped a few weeks ago and was kept in a car boot for six days without any food or anything. It was really scary.
Thank you to the Met for getting my friend back, we were all terrified. From what I hear, the police did a fantastic job.'
Lily’s friend, only identified as Charlie, and another man - both in their 20s – were working in a West London sports store when armed men allegedly walked in and forced them into a car on August 2.
The kidnappers are said to have demanded a £75,000 ransom from the two men’s families and held them at a property in Thamesmead, South East London.
Lily added: 'He was in a car boot being driven around London before he was found. It was all over money.'
Police have arrested six men in connection with the kidnap plot. Four are charged with conspiracy to kidnap, conspiracy to blackmail and false imprisonment.
