I absolutely vehemently despise awards ceremonies of any kind. Can't watch them without getting angry. Ridiculous overblown industry back slapping bollocks. f**k 'em all off I say, give the money to charity.

Today's top gossip:

Liam Gallagher was reportedly "livid" after seeing Robbie Williams chatting to his wife Nicole Appleton backstage at the Brit Awards last night (February 16). Williams and Appleton used to date before she met Gallagher, and the former Oasis frontman – who snubbed brother Noel in his acceptance speech at the awards – is seemingly still riled at the sight of them chatting. According to a source, the singer was so upset he started "pacing around" after hearing about the meeting (Daily Mirror).

Surely JLS will get a pre headline slot on the Pyramid now. They deserve it after getting all those awards for being so creative and inspiring to youngsters of any age everywhere.

i like the idea, true or otherwise, that he was so angry he paced around :P

rock stars just aren't what they used to be. Liam of old would have at least started a fight and come off worst.

Noel Gallagher said this in 2005:

Liam hasn't got a sense of humour, f**king full stop. Like with Peter Kay. If you're a northern guy about our age, all the reference points are spot on - you can't not like him. We were on the tour bus one night and somebody put [a] Peter Kay [DVD] on and I thought: 'This is going to be a f**king disaster.' There's a few Mancs in our crew and everyone was laughing their heads off. And Liam's just sat there going: 'He's a f**king fat c**t, f**king shit, f**king fat idiot.'

So he gets up to go to the bog and someone goes: 'Why doesn't he like Peter Kay?' Because he'd been to the NME Awards when Liam won a trophy for being hero of the year - and Liam wouldn't go up and f**king collect it. He had on this big white fur coat. So Peter Kay brought his trophy over to him and went 'Ere you are lad'. And as he walks off, he goes: 'Me mam's been looking for that coat.' f**king uproar! I was laughing like f**k.

Peter Kay 2 - 0 Liam Gallagher

Here's Liam's somewhat predictable comeback, via twitter:

I thought it was dire as ever. Fearne Cotton had more charisma than Peter Kay, and that's saying something. Don't see all the fuss about Liam though- what was everyone expecting?

I have to admit I liked Lady Gaga's performance though, even if she did look like a massive doily.

Margarita wotsername on Capital radio got interviewed on the ITV news today and she did have a bit of a vaguely correct point to make that this year's Brits did more or less offer a reasonable cross section of all that is popular at the moment eg. (Indie) Rock with Kasabian, R&B/Hiphop with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, decent performances from the pretty popular Flo and Lily and Gaga, poptabulous shit from JLS and Cheryl Cole and something for the mums with Robbie.

It certainly didnt hit the mark in anything spectacular which was a shame. Yes it IS more or less a Smash Hits Poll Winners Party for the 21st Century and was very very meh and car crash but it covered most of the current mainstream corners of the music world in the UK at the mo.

The 30th anniversary stuff was pointless tho! And Peter Kay was terrible. My mate described him as a rabbit in headlights and he had already done his jokes on the Moyles show earlier that day apparently! Sam Fox would have done better! :P

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
