The Bitch Is Back!

GQ must have known they were in for a wild ride when they booked the irrepressible duo of Lily Allen and Elton John to host their Man of the Year Awards Show - but nobody could have imagined that things would wrap up with Elton claiming he could "still snort" his co-host "under the table"!
Lily, though, certainly brought Elton's ire on herself with her out-of-control conduct, slurring her speech and swearing on camera repeatedly (including five f-bombs in one sentence as she introduced one nominee, the Daily Mail claims). At one point, she even blurted out the news of her brother Alfie's engagement to his sister - despite the couple's best efforts to keep the news a secret even from friends. Of course, all the champagne Lily was seen gulping down on stage might have had something to do with her outbursts too!
Elton, to his credit, patiently endured Lily's antics, even giving her a pass when she interrupted his tribute to the 82-year-old Tony Bennett to remark "I'd still f*ck him". As the night wore on, however, he grew increasingly fed up with his co-host's behavior and started pulling her aside for stern words in the wings between awards. By the time Lily had to announce "the most important part of the night", Elton's frustration prompted him to chime in "What? Are you going to have another drink?"
Lily petulantly shot back "F*ck off, Elton. I am forty years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me."
That, as they say, was the straw that broke the camel's back - even before the audience had even managed to finish gasping, the visibly angry pop legend growled "I could still snort you under the table."
"F*ck off," she shakingly replied. "I don't know what you are talking about."
After the awards ceremony ended, Lily barely even made it off stage under her own power - although she did muster the strength to make it to the afterparty to drink even more champagne. Eventually, Lily partied herself out and had to be escorted to her her car by her bodyguard.
Good thing GQ had the foresight to book Elton as Lily's co-host - she's clearly no gentleman!
Is this an amazing train wreck or what?
