According to the Grammys, the Grammys always has an amazing musical number that has everyone talking about it the next day. That seems more than a little presumptuous, but the attempt to cram wonder down our throats last night was the opening performance by Lady GaGa, which ended up as a duet with Elton John. It was the fulfillment of a fear I never knew I had, and began the nights theme of choosing duets based on picking random names out of a hat. The only things these two have in common is that they both have a penis, and they’re both visually disturbing. Forget about having sex with either one, I wouldn’t even eat one of them if I was a vulture in the desert.
Lily Allen was the co-host of the GQ Man of the Year awards in London last night, and there’s no need to ask if she was awesome, because of course she was. The Times of London says…
Young pop singer Lily Allen received a very public dressing down from industry veteran Sir Elton John last night as the pair hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards. In front of an audience comprising the crème of the entertainment world, the 23-year-old chart-topper sipped champagne on stage until she began slurring and swearing. When Allen told the audience at London's Royal Opera House "now we reach a very special point in the evening", Sir Elton replied: "What, you are going to have another drink?" Allen, dressed demurely in a full-length ball gown, responded: "Fuck off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than you, I have my whole life ahead of me." The 61-year-old superstar, watched by audience members including Gordon Ramsay, Thandie Newton and Elle MacPherson, then told her: “I could still snort you under the table.”
Okay so it definitely seems like Elton got the best of that exchange, but keep in mind that Lily was drunk, and thinking up clever comebacks is hard like that. She’s a dynamite lady.
