Lily Allen has often complained that people seem to see her as a lesser version of Amy Winehouse. Yet she hasn’t been bitching about it nearly so much in the last year or so as Amy’s life has completely gone down the toilet. No matter what bad behavior Lily engaged in, it never compared to a thing Winehouse did. And one would assume she was no longer jealous of Amy… but apparently that’s not the case. Lily’s decided to act just as idiotic as the beehived singer, and attack people on the streets.

Move over, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen has been out drinking and is ready to fight.

The 23-year-old British songstress apparently reacted to a female heckler outside Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in the Soho area of London early Tuesday morning, throwing a punch at the woman as she walked by.

Luckily the jab didn’t connect, and Lily’s friends managed to restrain her and get her into a car. The Grammy-nominated singer has a history of getting physical: She was arrested and cautioned for kicking a photographer after a night out in London last year.

Looks like someone should be taking her own and advice and “just smile.”

I think if you want to become better known and not referred to as a “shittier” (Lily’s own words) version of Winehouse, it’s probably best to work on your music and not your assaulting skills. I mean sure you could become more Winehouse-esq by drinking too much and seeing what kind of normally-only-afflicts-senior-citizens diseases you could get… or you could work on your talent and be known for that.

TMZ has a video of the night here.

Here’s Lily at the Groucho Club and Ronnie Scott’s before getting into the argument. WENN notes the person, “allegedly directed a volley of abuse towards the star before following her to her car. She is seen to punch her assailant three times before friends help her into her vehicle.” Images thanks to WENN.
