The big winners at last night's
MTV Europe Music Awards were Britney Spears and Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds To Mars, each of them winning two awards. Hostess Katy Perry beat Duffy to take home the award for New Act, and the Brits were represented by Sir Paul McCartney and Rick Astley who each took home a gong. For the most part, the winners were American, and there was certainly a theme running through the evening as President-Elect
Barack Obama's face showed up on everything from the video screens to one of Katy's twelve brightly coloured outfits!

Music industry artists and insiders including Take That, Girls Aloud, Mika, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sugababes, Simon Cowell, The Feeling and many more
honoured Lucian Grainge, a Universal Music boss, at a hotel in London last night as Lucian Grainge picked up the Music Industry Trust Award last night. It was a fab photo opportunity for the biggest boyband and girlband in the UK (minus Nadine) to get photographed together, making me imagine what an awesome supergroup they'd be! U2 presented the award to Lucian, with
Bono saying:
"He's great because he's ready to take on the world for British music, and Irish music for that matter.

Kate Beckinsale looked stunning in white this weekend (and hubby Len definitely agreed) at the
Raisa Gorbachev Foundation fundraiser in London. She was joined by Hugh Grant, Emily Blunt, Stella McCartney, Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro and more in support of the charity that helps raise money to help fight cancer in young children. The event, held at Hampton Court Palace, also included adorable Orlando Bloom who, along with girlfriend Miranda Kerr, made up
the other couple pulling PDAs at the party.
