Sept. 2nd 2008, at the GQ Awards, she received a very public dressing down from industry veteran Sir Elton John with whom she co-hosted the event.
When Allen told the audience "Now we reach a very special point in the evening", Sir Elton replied: "What, you are going to have another drink?"
Allen responded: "F*** off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than you, I have my whole life ahead of me."
The 61-year-old superstar replied: “I could still snort you under the table.”
