Scissor Sisters - Sniiiiiiiip!

In a further indication of how far from having fingers on pulses the Brits organising committee is, one of their key acts for next week seems to be heading dumper-wards, at least in the US:

Jake Shears, 29, is refreshingly honest about Ta-Dah. He said: "The single I Don't Feel Like Dancin' hasn't done anything. The album's dead. It flopped. It stiffed. It tanked."

Meanwhile, ITV is trailing the awards with Russell Brand wandering through cages of dangerous people saying, effectively, "ooh... we're going to be dangerous because we're live."
Russell, sweetheart, GMTV is live for hours every morning. Not being on tape isn't, in itself, a guarantee of edginess.
