Yikes! It's chilly in Britain, and not just at the U.K. pad of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. Gwyn's hubby and his band Coldplay were completely shut out on their home-turf last night when they lost in all four of their nominated categories at the Brits Awards last night. The kudos went to a variety of other performers for Best British album, group and single, as well as the public vote of best act. They swept the Grammys stateside, which proves the U.K. has better taste - not only in tea, but music as well. Word has it the snubbed group bounced back in spectacular style later that evening whilst performing at a charity benefit, including an encore that featured Bono and Brandon Flowers of The Killers. Paltrow was in attendance for the after-hours event, as was home-wrecker Sienna Miller and vampire Courtney Love. Word has it that Miller even "indulged in a bit of air guitar" - nothing is sexier than air guitar, unless it's rubbing your nipples on a married man. That's always hot too. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of that party! [P.S. - No, you're not seeing things! I posted this earlier today and my computer freaked out - first posting it twice before deleting it entirely. Hopefully it'll stick this time. Thanks to Larry for the tech support! xo]
