You have to be a good friend or stupid to be sticking up for Amy Winehouse. Lily has been sticking up for her pal Amy Winehouse and says her fellow star is misrepresented by the media. Lily said Amy was given a "hard time" by the papers and insisted that the singer is "very different" in real life. She asserted: "Yes, she does get out of her mind on drugs sometimes, but she is also a very clever, intelligent, witty, funny person who can hold it together,” "I mean, there aren’t that many people with whom the press concentrate on their personality so much,” she said.
“I think in the UK, as far as females go, it’s mainly me and her that get that treatment. She gets it more than I do. But I don’t see it that much with other people." Give me a break so she is saying "Yep Amy Is A Junkie, but a clever one"! Source: The Mirror
No ! Miranda Sawyer of Observer Music monthly wrote these quotes down, just to use them. The press started a war between Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen a long time ago, now the story has changed and it attacks both of them for being friends (which they are casual friends and always have been)Miranda Sawyers quote about Lily Allen not using drugs comes from a story, using the same words made up by Paper magazine when Lily Allen did (JUST) a photo shoot in L.A. last June. Lily Allen has blogged that her personal life/love life is her business which the press knows nothing about! Sawyer did write that Lily Allen felt like she was being treated like a cartoon character, (I would think she does!) She’s not the idiot in the tabloids, she not stupid at all, just a little silly.
