Posted October 27, 200816 yr Hey! I just realised how much news there actually is, so right now I'm going to post all the news there has been about Lily in the past couple of months, dating back to September. Lily Allen's pal kidnapped & GQ Awards Lily Allen has thanked police for rescuing her friend who was allegedly abducted at gunpoint and held hostage for a week. The 23-year-old singer said she was "terrified" after her pal was taken by a group of armed men. The friend and another man, both in their 20s, were working at a sports store in west London last month when the men apparently entered the store and bundled the shop workers into a car. The group are alleged to have held the pair hostage at an address in Thamesmead, south east London, and demanded a ransom of £75,000 from their families. Lily's friend and his co-worker were found by police a week later on August 9. They were handcuffed with their heads covered but were unhurt. A number of men have appeared in court in connection with the alleged kidnapping. Allen wrote on her blog: "Thank you to the Met for getting my friend back, we were all terrified and from what I hear you guys did an amazing job." But she was not feeling so magnanimous when she later co-hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards with Sir Elton John in Covent Garden, London. Wearing a metallic Dolce and Gabbana dress, Allen slurped wine while presenting the ceremony and seemed a little worse for wear as the night went on. When the singer told the audience "now we reach a very special point in the evening", Sir Elton replied sarcastically: "What, you are going to have another drink?" Allen told the star: "f*** off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than you, I have my whole life ahead of me." When the audience fell silent, Elton retorted: "I could still snort you under the table." The Smile singer barked back: "f*** off. I don't know what you are talking about." The pair also had a laugh at Amy Winehouse's expense, telling the audience: "Unfortunately Amy Winehouse could not be here tonight, but we will crack on."
