Champagne will be on shortage after yet another star studded award ceremony last night.
In their fancy frocks and swish suits, celebs graced the red carpet at London’s Earl’s Court for the 2008 MasterCard Brit Awards.
Turning up in their plenty, someone must have told them that there was free booze…but wait…there was!
Determined not to let a drop be wasted The Arctic Monkeys, dressed from head-to-toe in tweed and twill, would have certainly won the award for “Drunkest Band”.
Toby Ricketts said:
“Just how drunk can the arctic monkeys get before they attend the awards naked and use expletives exclusively to accept their award?”But the Sheffield boys weren’t the only ones to take advantage of the free booze.
Friday Night Project Funnyman Alan Carr apologized to the audience when he came on slightly sozzled to present the Best British Single to Take That.
The Sun reported the cheeky comedian saying:
“Sorry I am a bit p***ed…I put a straw in Amy Winehouses beehive. I kissed them all [Take That] last year. Will they get past first base?”However the pièce de résistance came when Vic Reeves pulled out all the stops to take a pop at pint-size pop princess Kylie Minogue.
Monk Seal said:
“Vic Reeves, who majestically pulled out of the punch line to a decidedly foul-tasting quip about Kylie Minogue and cancer, leaving him clearly panicked at the sudden prospect of his career sloshing down the bogs faster than Michael Richards can say the N-word.”Despite the not-so-sober slur, speculation has mounted that the only reason the Aussie star got the International Female gong was due to her illness.
MSN Music Editor James Hurley couldn't agree more:
“International Female to Kylie Minogue. That may well have gone to Rihanna had it not been for the old cancer scare. You can't begrudge her anything though, can you?”Other winners of Brits this year included Kate Nash (Best British Female), Mark Ronson (Best British Male) and Mike (Best Breakthrough Act).
But with the tipple on tap, money is on the stars waking up this morning not really remembering what they did or didn’t win.
Funny enough the soberest star at the ceremony appeared to be Amy Winehouse but like they say…
There’s a first for everything.

Kylie, as successful as she is, probably did not deserve the award she got. She certainly has won the battle over cancer and the recognition of that is wonderful, but i think James Hurley is spot on.
If anyone actually deserved to win the International Award, it was Rihanna. She has been splashed everywhere for pretty much the entire year. A clear winner in my eyes.
Kylie has never won one before despite her huge fanbase, but wins her first after defeating cancer. Coincidence?
