Heart to (Alcoholic) Heart: Brit and Lily Allen

Lily Allen has offered her support to the world's most famous pop wreck, Britney Spears. Does anyone else see the irony in this? It's like in that story I used to hear when I was a kid, about the kettle calling the pot "fat". I mean, really, Lily Allen is definitely not the best person in the world to give advice from this point of view, seeing how we very rarely see her sober these days. But nevertheless, it's Britney, y'all and everyone has an opinion about her – even Lily Allen.

The 'Smile' singer says watching Brit Brit lose custody of her two sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James earlier in the week and then go through "such a difficult time" is "deeply saddening". Um, just a little correction here. Are we sure Lily is even from this universe and that we're living on the same planet and talking about the same Britney Spears? I'm having trouble seeing what difficult time she's referring to, seeing how Brit didn't even bother to show up for the hearing where she had her last chance of fighting to get her kids back.

There's no cure for not caring. And really, the more some people speak out in defense of Brit and find excuses for every wrong step she takes, the more she will think that she's special and keep on doing more of the same in order to be given the same (if nor more) attention. Lily the Daily Mirror: "My heart goes out to her. I feel that she must be in a tough place right now. It's really upsetting". Yes, really, it's such a bitch driving aimlessly through LA and Beverly Hills all day with the paparazzi in tow while your ex husband is in court fighting to take the kids away from you. Really, really tough stuff.

Lily added that she sometimes finds being a celebrity "nightmarish" and claims it must be unbearable for Britney, whose career began when she was only 11. "I was 19 when I started doing this, so I can't even imagine what it must be like for her. I find it sort of nightmarish on some days but amazing on others, and I am no way as successful or famous as she is. I mean, I wake up in the morning and there are five paparazzi outside my house pretty much every day".

Yes, well, do I hear a fine touch of Keira Knightley-ish note in her voice? I wonder if later on we'll get to see her adopt the same kind of attitude. Hope not. Until then, I suggest Lily herself to clean up her act and stop endorsing alcoholics. Even if they're called Britney Spears.
