Tell me more, tell me more

OK, still here, still snooping about for bloggable stuff that will fully capture the excitement of this wonderful event and play down some of the more humdrum bits (of which there are some, bout you can't ask about them, as I'll never tell).

In the past two hours everything has changed. Famous people are popping up all over the place, and doing famous people things like walking past each other with their profile carefully turned towards other, perhaps MORE famous people, in the hope that the more famous person might say "hey! Famous person! I'm famous too, possibly MORE famous. Shake my hand!"

And there is one person who seems to be getting this kind of treatment more than anyone else...

Cometh the hour, cometh the man, cometh the insanity as everyone present starts to follow the man around like a dog being shown a card trick. I have seen Sir Paul McCartney, he is in the building, and I can EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL that he is carrying around a little harmonica in his pocket. I know this NOT because I have been secretly touching him in an intimate fashion (and it definitely IS a harmonica, he barely looked pleased to see me at all), but because, while milling about in a particularly large and empty part of the press run, he whipped it out and had a quick puff on it. YES THE HARMONICA...

Ricky WilsonRicky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs is looking amazing at the moment. Seriously, really, really slim in a nice suit and not even all that red of face. The beard remains, so he's not quite back to his early days Kaiser beauty, but still. That is one hot mama...in man form. Trust me, this photo doesn't really do him justice.

Kelly Osbourne has just popped in to see Chris Moyles. She seems to be wearing Beatle-hair in tribute to Sir Paul, but neither she or her outsized entourage (10 people, just to help her say hello to someone she knows) appears to have been informed of the harmonica development. BOY is her face going to be red when she finds out.

Meanwhile, KT Tunstall is walking about with a man who looks a lot like Roddy Woomble from out from Idlewild* (assuming Roddy Woomble from out of Idlewild has also had a Beatle haircut...possibly influenced by Kelly Osbourne...it's like a fashion landslide here, people!).

And I nearly nearly knocked Adele over when I came out of a door she was coming into. Oh sure, this SOUNDS like a rubbish claim to fame, but can anyone else claim to have forced a No.2 hit singer to back away from a door while you rush through carrying a polystyrene cup of earl grey? No, I think not...

Anyway, must go, the show is starting and there's a chance that Mika's performance will be unblogged. Can you imagine such a thing?

*Bah! I've just checked, it's not Roddy Woomble from out of Idlewild at all.
