Lily Allen has been pictured smoking what appears to be a cannabis joint.

The 'Smile' singer was photographed at London's world famous Notting Hill Carnival on Monday (27.08.07) tooting on a large hand-rolled cigarette, similar in shape to a marijuana 'spliff'.

Shortly after the picture was taken, Lily - who had been drinking heavily for most of the day - passed out on the pavement outside The Cow pub and had to be helped to her unsteady feet by restaurant staff from Rosa's Dining Room.

After drinking several pints of water and strong coffee to sober up, the pop star was put by staff in a taxi which took her to her north London home.

A source said: "She was really getting into the spirit of the occasion hen she stumbled and didn't get back up.

"People were crowding around and taking pictures of her until the staff came to her rescue.

They took her inside the restaurant to stop everyone staring at her."

Earlier in the day, Lily suffered further embarrassment when she had a pint of Guinness poured over her head.

The diminutive star jumped on stage during a performance by reggae star Bobby Kray and pushed him off stage so she could sing herself.

Bobby retaliated by throwing the stout drink over her, much to the delight of the jeering crowd, leaving Lily to sulk at the side of the stage

Allen in row with neighbour over parking

A neighbour of Lily Allen's had a public row with the star after she apparently nicked his parking spot.

Lilly reportedly parked her Mini Cooper in a private bay that did not belong to her. When the bay owner saw her parking her vehicle again last week, he had an argument with her.


"The man marched over to Lily, started jabbing his finger at her and gave her a piece of his mind. He had no idea it was Lily Allen until she got out of the car and asked him what the hell he was going on about," the Mirror newspaper quoted an onlooker as saying.


Advertisement"The man, who was in his 20s, looked a bit surprised when confronted with a pop star but continued laying into her, saying she was selfish and generally having a go," the onlooker added.


Although Lily reportedly admitted that he had mistakenly parked her car at her neighbour's parking, she did demand that the man talked to her with some respect.


"She started screaming at him, telling him to shut up and to treat her with some respect," said the source.


"She said it was just a mistake, but looked really shaken by the experience - especially considering he was one of her neighbours," the source added.
