That, at last night's BRIT Awards, Cheryl Cole didn't take too kindly to being asked if Girls Aloud were splitting up... That she said to the reporter backstage: "Why would you ask a question like that? We have just won this award voted for by the public. That's ridiculous. You ruined the moment." That, according to The Mirror, she then "dragged the rest of the girls away"... That Seasick Steve "flouted" the Tube's drinking ban when traveling to the awards, saying: "I heard you're not allowed to drink but I think I'm gonna need a few. I'm not playing at the awards - I'm going to be drinking. What else do you do at these things?".. He then pulled out a bottle of whiskey and "pulled out his guitar for some stunned commuters"... That The Edge: "the night getting tips on the art of drinking northern style from winners, Elbow"... That's "news" apparently... That, according to someone sitting near her on a plane, Rachel Bilson is engaged to Hayden Christenson: "A man sitting in front of her on the plane saw a ring on her finger and asked if she was married... Bilson then told the source, 'I'm not married yet, just engaged. I know I look like I'm 15, but I'm actually 27'"... That Lily Allen wants to work with Dolly Parton... That Kate Winslet said: "I think I won't (get naked in a movie) again. I can't keep getting away with it, and I don't want to become 'that actress who always gets her kit off'"... It's a wee bit late for that... That Scott Siegel, who played a drug dealer in The Wrestler, has been arrested for drug dealing and assaulting an officer... That Tony Rock, ChrisRock's younger brother (who's also a comedian, bad luck there, Tony) - has been arrested for DUI... That MC Hammer has landed his own reality show...

Our real life truly is drama"... That Ricky Gervais is "helping" Oscar host Hugh Jackman "write jokes" before Sunday's ceremony: "Hugh Jackman called me again for another brainstorming session about the Oscars. He called me out of the blue a couple of weeks ago and said he wanted me to write some gags for him. We've spoken a few times and we've come up with some funny ideas I think. It's difficult for me because it's so mainstream, and 90 per cent of everything that comes into my head is unsuitable. He's great though. He seems to have no ego at all. Nice bloke. Hope he does well"... That's Ricky's way of saying "I'm the pinnacle of cutting edge, even Wolverine knows it"... That the producers still don't know if M.I.A. will perform live on the night... They've gone from offering her a bed to "appearing as a hologram"... A source said: "She wants to. In fact, she said she'll do it with a hologram. She has all these ideas. I don't know how it's going to be possible, though. Having a baby is such an important thing in your life - more important than winning an Oscar"...

Fortune (the one that the band sourced through a reality show to replace Michael Hutchence), said of the rest of the band abruptly dumping him: "I was in an airport (in) Hong Kong and literally got a handshake. They said, 'Thank you very much.' I found myself really alone because I had travelled with these guys for 23 months. I don't know where I am going from sofa to sofa, from night to night. I am trying to get through my life"... That Fortune's rampant cocaine abuse, while he toured with the band, might've contributed to his departure...
