Arctic Monkeys were the big winners for the third year running at last nights NME awards held at the O2 arena. The northern monkeys won the Best British band at the public-voted awards, alongside The Killers who were named Best International band. Other winners included Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festival for Best Live Event, Kate Nash for Best solo artist, Noel Fielding for Sexiest man (with The Mighty Bosh winning Best TV show), and Pete Doherty bizarrely being named Hero of the Year. Winning-losers at the awards included The Hoosiers for Worst Band, Britney Spears: Blackout for Worst Album and despite rumours this week of her starting up her own fashion line, Amy Winehouse picked up the Worst Dressed gong.Inside gossip from the event involved pikey Kelly Osbourne getting caught trying to sneak in a bottle of vodka under her coat, Alexa Chung who spent the night being repeatedly sick due to a mystery illness, and all the celebs enjoying cream teas (albeit alcohol-free as the bar closed during the award presentations) served up as the Klaxtons opened the event.
Harry The Secret Hero
A news blackout silencing the British media has finally come to an end as foreign media broke the story that Prine Harry is currently fighting with front line troops in Afghanistan, and has been since before Christmas. The 24 year old Prince who has always wanted to be a soldier has finally been given the opportunity to prove himself out in the field with his regiment. Stationed in Helmand, a province of Afghanistan, he is treated like a ‘normal’ soldier and is reported to have commented “this is about as normal as I’m going to get.”
The media secrecy surrounding the deportment was born of the failure, last May, to send the third-in-line to the throne to Iraq. There was extensive coverage devoted to the rights and wrongs of such a move and, at the eleventh hour, in the glare of publicity, Harry didn't go because the threats were too real and the risks for him and his men were too great. The media's self-imposed silence hasn't been a completely selfless act. In return for not rushing into print or onto the airwaves, they have been rewarded with access to Harry at regular intervals.
Today army chiefs are deciding whether or not to pull Prine Harry out of Afghanistan.
