TEMPTING FATE - IT'S SO DELICIOUS: Great news - the people in charge of the Brits have announced that next year's awards will be shown 'as live' - obviously they're feeling confident that the days of Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood are totally behind them. What could possibly go wrong, especially since by then Every Single Popstar in the World will be TV stars masquerading as proper musicians?
More interestingly, they're dropping the Best Video award for "Best Urban Act" (or, to give it its full title 'we really ought to do something to ensure at least one black musician wins a prize on the night') and the Newcomer prizes are being renamed Breakthrough Artist Awards, which means that they can give it to acts who've been ignored for years who suddenly have a hit. In case something like Baby Bird ever happens again.
