What has been going on in the world of news while we've all been asleep?

»
There will hopefully be nothing flammable near the stage while Mika or Paul McCartney perform at tonight's Brit Awards ceremony with a load of fireworks. ('Mika And Sir Paul McCartney To Open And Close The Brit Awards 2008' — The Mirror)

»
Girls Aloud believe it is about time that they started winning some awards. ('Booze Ban On Girls Aloud' — Daily Star)

»
Someone had better be on hand with the smelling salts in case Leona wins a Brit. ('Leona: If I Win… I Might Faint' — The Sun)

»
Klaxons hope to work with Take That in the future. ('We'd Love To Work With TT' — The Sun)

»
A Radio One DJ (not Chris Moyles) has gone to jail. ('Radio 1 DJ Grooverider Given Four-Year- Jail Term For Cannabis Smuggling' — The Times)

» Good news for terrible Daily Telegraph music writers: U2 are back in the studio. ('U2 Hits The Studio In Dublin' — Billboard)

»
Taking a break from stirring rumours about his weight and plans to become a pro­fes­sional wrestler, Eminem has written his auto­bi­o­graphy. ('Eminem: The Book' — Yahoo)

Blimey.
