Typical

British understatement in regards to this picture from the Brit Awards-

Girls Aloud were very pleased to win the award for Best Single

You don't say.

"Can I just say - it's about time!" screamed Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding, before adding: "I think I just wet myself."


I love you, Sarah.

Macca and Beth

Someday, I will own a wee chapeau like La Ditto's. Also, I'm glad to see that Macca's face lift is relaxing...

You know,

during all the red carpet brouhaha at awards shows, it's always refreshing to hear someone genuinely thrilled to be wearing something made especially for them. Case in point- La Ditto's near-squee of joy in this interview at donning custom Luella Bartley and Terry De Haviland for the Brits.

Awwww, lads.

They do love their costumes. Bless.


Arctic Monkeys won the Best British Band award at the Brit Awards 2008 tonight (February 20) in London.The band were dressed up in traditional English rural clothing for the event, resembling old fashioned farmers, sporting brown wellies and flat caps.


“Thank you everybody. We’re the Arctic Monkeys. We are the most fantastic,” said front-man Alex Turner, before blowing a large horn he had brought on stage into the microphone.

I Don't Feel Like Dancing at the Brit Awards

I love riders

you know, the list of items that bands require backstage to prepare them for their performance? Oasis's from the Brits included:

six bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne, 100 bottles of Becks lager, 12 bottles of wine and a THOUSAND Marlboro Lights.


Oh and eye masks from Estee Lauder (to prevent puffiness). I don't judge.

Oasis at the Brits

Cigarettes, Meaning of Soul and Morning Glory. God, I love YouTube. This clip is missing Don't Look Back In Anger and Rock and Roll Star. Dammit.

Brit Awards


I'm so very badly in need of sleep that I can't bring myself to recap the Brits. Seriously. I can't believe I just wrote that. My hands hurt so badly that I need to apply Bud Light, STAT, to relieve the pain. I think I did between 15-20 rose arrangements today (dozen roses). That's just me, mind, and not counting all the other floral arrangements I did.

But I'm looking at this picture of the cheeky Monkeys dressed up as the Village! People! and this quote from My Beloved Noel from the show, and imagining all the clever things I'll have to say after I get my nap on.

Before a five-song set that included Rock'n'Roll Star, Don't Look Back in Anger and Cigarettes and Alcohol, Noel Gallagher said: "Thank you very much. It's been a fucking pleasure."

Oh Holy Jesus

The potential for the Brit Awards turning into a giant trainwreck with nearly all my favorite pop and rock stars on that train? HUGE.

The organisers of the Brits are banking on the combustible combination of Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse and the Gallagher brothers, as much prized for their catty wit and alcohol-fuelled antics as their prodigious talents, to enliven this year's show. After some bleak years in which they struggled to even fill the nominations list for best British female solo artist, they last night hailed the emergence of a new breed of talented females with attitude as Allen, Corinne Bailey Rae and Winehouse racked up seven nominations between them.

.......

Allen, whose ska-inflected pop attracted thousands to her MySpace page even before her debut single was released, and Winehouse, who has been described as mixing "reverentially classicist musical backdrops with potty-mouthed explorations of the modern mating game", were both nominated in the best album category. Both have become regulars in gossip columns, with Winehouse appearing drunk on the Charlotte Church Show and heckling Bono during the Q Awards, and Allen sparking tabloid outrage when she said she would celebrate her debut No 1 with "gak", a slang word for cocaine. The 21-year-old, daughter of the actor Keith Allen, later said she was joking.

......

The awards will be shown live for the first time since the debacle when co-hosts Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox fluffed their way through the show in 1989.

The shakeup, which also involved boosting the number of British acts at the expense of US stars, will see Russell Brand replacing Chris Evans as host.

He said he was "looking forward to being the ringleader of a carnival of mayhem" and recreating the chaotic scenes of previous years when Chumbawamba accosted John Prescott and Jarvis Cocker invaded the stage during a set by Michael Jackson.

Let me direct your attention to the bolded section. Drunk on Char's show, and heckled Saint BONO. Celebrating with Columbian Marching Powder. How could this not be awesome?

And there's always the possibility that Our Kid and My Beloved Noel will take after each other with cricket bats or leave the stage and heckle the other from the audience. Again.
