Lily Allen took a swipe at pop rival Amy Winehouse during a festival performance yesterday (19.08.07).
The British pop star mockingly toasted the troubled singer - who entered rehab last week after collapsing from an alleged cocktail of ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol - during her V-Festival set in Chelmsford.
Lily poured herself a shot of Jagermeister, a 70 percent proof liqueur, and raised her glass, saying: "It's the end of the weekend, you have got to have a drink. Here's to Amy Winehouse... ha!"
The 22-year-old singer also took another veiled dig at shockingly thin Amy - who is reportedly addicted to heroin - when she attacked skinny celebrities.
Introducing her song 'Everything's Just Wonderful', she said: "All these skinny girls in the magazines, 'Look at me, look at me' - heroin addicts!
"You are not that skinny unless you have an eating disorder or a drug habit."
Lily - who has scrapped her US tour after her visa was revoked at Los Angeles airport earlier this month - also insisted she is glad she has been banned from the US, because she can spend more time with her lover DJ Seb Chew.
She said: "I couldn't care less if I never go to America again. I would rather be with my man. I've been banned from America. That's nice. Oh well, that means I can't go back there. Good."
The 'Smile' singer then added in an American twang: "I'm going to dedicate this to the US. Obviously I'm really sad I can't do my US tour. Shame on you, the US Immigration Service."
Lily also branded US President George Bush a "f***ing ****" during her earlier V-Festival set in Stafford on Saturday (18.08.07).

omg a 'f***ing ****'??? OH NOES!
'Lily poured herself a shot of Jagermeister, a 70 percent proof liqueur'
No. Percent and proof are not the same. It is probably 70 proof, which means it's 35 proof. Pure alcohol is 100% or 200 proof.
Lily A does nothold a candle to Amy W. Is she kidding this little piece of shiat.. And the USA does not even know she exists.. Hello..
'No. Percent and proof are not the same. It is probably 70 proof, which means it's 35 ***proof***.'
Nicely ironic lack of correction there.
Also, all of you are morons, but entertaining morons, at least.
Never heard of Lily or Amy, but Lily sounds like someone I'd like, and Amy sounds like fun at parties.
THE ONLY COMMENT I HAVE IS WHO THE F**K IS LILY ALLEN? SOUNDS LIKE A KELLY OSBOURNE WANNABE F'''KEN LOSER STAY AWAY FROM THE US WE DON'T WANT UR DUMB ASS HERE
70 proof = 35% not 35 proof. Christ, are all of you too young to drink? btw death to Allen for blasting bush. He didn't order her getting the boot.
Yeah, that's cool...too bad Lily Allen sucks and Amy W. rocks. I kinda wish Allen would just disappear. Fortunately she hasn't made much of a splash here in the US.
Lilly Who????????
Its a pity that Lily Allen feels she has to kick Amy when she's down, addiction is a serious illness not to be taken lightly.
She also doesn't do herself any favors with her US fans when she hurls further insults at the USA when obviously her papers are not in order. If her papers were in order she would not have a problem with US Immigration...so having said that she should be looking at her management team as the problem, not the USA.
She needs a reality check and new management or else her career and earning capacity will be shorter than normal..and that traditionally isn't very long in her business.
wow!!! i agree wit her on da bush thing i mean who liks him?? he is an a hole.....i do lik her songs n who cares if she leaves the us?! this place is a s*** hole n-e way thankz to bush
