Lily Allen

British pop singer Lily Allen — whose drinking sprees have been widely publicized — is being strongly criticized for her statement that using cocaine is not that big of a deal. She told Metro UK:
 

I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work everyday, no problem at all."

Lily, who will be 24 in May, says she no longer uses coke but she's annoyed at the current attitude toward it. She feels it is sensationalized and that the risks are overstated. If she had been a singer 20 years ago, she says, she would have been treated differently:

I'd have been booked in at the Ritz with five grams of cocaine on my table."

Like all those other rock stars who did so well under the influence of drugs? Oh wait, a lot of them died.

Grow up, Lily.
