An awards ceremony turned ugly this past week when Courtney Love and Lily Allen had to be physically separated backstage.  Based on the version you accept, either Lily made a comment about Love’s child Francis Bean or Love made comments about Allen’s Chanel deal – all other celebrities were prohibited from wearing Chanel.  However it started, the women were screaming expletives and were pulled apart.  Allen called Love a “paranoid drug-addled lunatic”.

Love reportedly told her TV crew: ‘I can see me and Lily Allen are going to have a fist fight tonight.’

Lily’s version:

“When I saw her at the NMEs she tried to talk to me and I told her to shut up and stop spreading stupid rumours about me. And that’s pretty much it.

I’d never fight with her – I don’t pick on crazy old ladies.”

After the event, the women continued their feud on Twitter.  That has to be the lamest end to a catfight ever.  However, given their careers, these women will be together at some event soon.  We’ll see if they pick up where they left off.

Transatlantic Catfight: Courtney Love and Lily Allen

  • The Shockwaves NME Awards lived up to their name Wednesday night when former rock homegirls Lily Allen andCourtney Love mixed it up backstage. The cordial, mutual celebrity kissy pooh-poohs apparently took an ugly turn, with both parties shouting expletives at each other. The Sun has the blow-by-blow:
    A crew member who witnessed the incident said: “The two singers were chatting amicably at first. “Then things turned really nasty and then aggressive.

    “Courtney seemed to take offense to something Lily said about her daughter Frances Bean and started shouting at Lily, calling her ‘a little girl’ and patronizing her by saying ‘welcome to the music industry’.

    “Lily was visibly shaken and upset by the exchange and snapped back ‘Why the f*** did you say that to me?’ before being ushered out in tears by her boyfriend Sam Cooper. It all happened very quickly and soon got out of hand.”
    As the dust settled, Courtney took the showdown to Twitter:
    “I know most people in rock and music in London and I don’t know one human being that likes this person. I just don’t get it.

    “She’s on a diet of Haterade and cat hiss and self-loathing.

    “It was ugly, she was obviously jealous. So insecure, it’s catchy, I just don’t get it.”
    Lily Allen chimed in on Twitter as well…apparently the bust-up was all about dresses???
    “She’s upset because she has got it into her head that I put a lock on some dresses for the BRIT Awards. She’s made no secret of this, and, when I saw her at the NME’s, she tried to talk to me, and I told her to shut up and stop spreading stupid rumors about me.

    “And that’s pretty much it. I would never fight with her, as a rule I don’t pick on crazy old ladies.”

    Allen later called Courtney “a paranoid, drug-addled lunatic,” which is pretty darn funny. This isn’t the first time Lily and Courtney have had friction: back in 2007, Lily posted on her MySpace (remember MySpace?): “I am not bfs w/ C Love, one night with her made me realize why Kurt [Cobain] killed himself. I nearly checked into rehab.”
