So who knows exactly what's up Lily Allen's nose?
By Bo Wilson, London Lite Last updated at 13:09pm on 25.06.09Lily Allen has sworn off drugs - so eyebrows were raised when she seemed to have something suspicious up her nose after a party.
Party girl: Lily Allen leaving the celebrity bash
The singer was snapped leaving a bash hosted by PR mogul Matthew Freud in Notting Hill on Tuesday. In the photograph, she appeared to have something white up her left nostril.

One onlooker said: "No one could work out what it was. Perhaps she was suffering with a cold." Lily's spokesman said today that she had not taken drugs.
And according to photographers, a camera flash can produce a white glow if the subject has a sniffly nose.
Allen, 24, has admitted dabbling in drugs. Earlier this year, she said she used to wake up and "there would have been empty vodka bottles everywhere, drugs, whatever.
"When all this happened I was 21. Becoming famous is all a bit scary and weird and I had no idea how to handle it.
"You go out and you get off your head. You get invited to parties and there's free drink and drugs. Well you do, don't you?"
Last December she said she had no intention of taking drugs "at the moment" - but added she could not say "never again".
The Freud party had a big celebrity turn-out, with Stephen Fry, David Walliams and Jemima Khan showing up.

Barbara: obviously someone has to point out to you what a brain looks like and let you know that people do not keep then in their nose.

Lily Allen has asthma! So the idea that she would take cocaine, or anything along those lines would be very wrong. It would trigger a pulmonary infection, and raise her blood pressure beyond what is considered, above normal. She was diagnosed with asthma when she was 8 years old, so the above quote is very obviously false.
