As one of the most highly anticipated music award ceremonies of the year, the 2010 BRIT Awards were a show stopping success with some amazing performances, killer red carpet outfits and Lady GaGa and JLS holding more than one award each at the end of the night.

Like the American ‘Grammy Awards’, winning a BRIT is a prestigious achievement for any British artist to take home. It was a spectacular night for Lily Allen as she celebrated winning ‘British Female Solo Artist’ having had to walk away empty handed for the last 3 years. But this year she really did get what she rightly deserved having as she was the best selling female artist of 2009 with her latest album “It’s not me, it’s you”. The pint sized Londoner opened the ceremony with her number 1 single ‘The Fear’, making her entrance on a pink and silver glittery rocket. What a star! Later on in the evening, she accepted her award wearing a bright orange wig and giggled: “I only wore this orange wig because I thought I would make it more difficult for the cameramen to find me and catch my disappointed face!”

Other big award winners were Lady GaGa and JLS.  Crazy GaGa flew the flag for the international artists by winning not one but three awards last night for Best International Female, Best International Album and Best International Breakthrough Artist. She performed an unreleased song wearing a big beehive wig, a lace mask and a half lacy all in one ensemble and she dedicated the song to British designer Alexander McQueen. Collecting her awards she sounded quite emotional and thanked her “little monster” fans.

X Factor runners up JLS prove you don’t have to win the biggest talent show on earth…when you win 2 BRIT awards off your own back! Winning Best British Breakthrough Act and Best British Single the boys are proving to be Britain’s boyband of the moment.

Hot favourite Florence and the Machine took away the said most prestigious award-  Best British Album for ‘Lungs’.

Other big news was brave Cheryl Cole’s performance of ‘Fight for this Love’ as her marital problems have been hitting the headlines all week. Host Peter Kay said as Cole finished: “Never a truer word spoken”. Poor Cheryl, fingers crossed Ashley Cole fixes this mess before it’s too late!

Sadly Brit newcomer Pixie Lott walked away with nothing despite being nominated for 3 awards. However, she did look amazing on the red carpet alongside the Sugababes, Kylie Minogue, Cat Deeley and Leona Lewis.

It seems January’s big freeze has warmed all the celebrity hearts! The Kills frontman Jamie Hince proposing to supermodel Kate Moss, Little Britain funnyman popping the question to model of the moment Lara Stone and popstar Michael Buble making the beauty in his new music video his fiancee too.

What a glamorous bunch of couples!

Rumour has it Jamie Hince proposed to Kate whilst holidaying in the Caribbean on her 36th birthday. It seems like its something the world has been waiting for after Moss’ disatrous relationship with Pete Doherty. Its also been thought that the engagement ring was carefully picked out with the help of the Topshop tycoon Sir Phillip Green, who is also Kate’s boss and business partner. Best friend of Moss Sadie Frost should be giving herself a pat on the back as it was her that introduced the soon to be newlyweds backstage at a gig.

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince got together in 2007

The lastest star to pop the question is David Walliams. The comedy actor has had numerous flings over the years with women such as Abi Titmuss, Denise Van Outen and Lauren Budd but it seems he is now a one woman man after proposing to catwalk queen Lara Stone. The dutch model is said to be ecstatic after David flew out to Mexico and got down on one knee. The whirlwind romance only started in September and the couple  have tried to avoid public appearences together. Stone has been on the cover of British Vogue and is the new face of Louis Vuitton’s campaign. Being one of the most sought after models, Walliams must be pinching himself!

Walliams confirmed the news telling The Sun: “Yes, it’s true, we’re engaged and blissfully happy”.

Other celebs in love is jazz crooner Michael Buble who proposed to his girlfriend, Luisana Lopilato, an Argentinian actress. The lucky lady appeared in video for Buble’s hit “Just Haven’t Met You Yet”.

After Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s engagement was announced only a few days ago, we’re trying hard to keep up with the ongoing love fest!

After an anti-X-factor facebook campaign to “spice up the charts” Rage against the machine has beaten x factor winner Joe McElderry  to the Christmas number 1 spot.

The battle against x-factor winner began as a facebook campaign by Jon and Tracy Morter of Essex  who thought “it would a bit of a giggle to start a campaign to encourage people to buy a record with pretty much the opposite vibe to the X-factor’s winner’s ballad.”.

The rage against the machine song “Killing in the name” originally released in 1992 managed  to gain over 450 000 members on facebook.  Although not a traditionally festive song the UK public has responded to the negative campaign against the X –factor.

Jon the founder of the group was fed up with  Simon Cowell’s acts gaining Christmas number ones during the past 5 years and wanted to break “the x factor monotony.”

Rage Takes Number 1 Spot

10 years after Oscar winning director James Cameron made one of the biggest films of all time ‘Titanic’, he now brings to the screen the ultiamte 3D sci- fi epic:  ‘Avatar’.

Set in the future, the story revolves around Jake a paraplegic war veteran, who is brought to another planet, Pandora. He is transformed into an Avatar, like the inhabitants of Pandora called the Na’vi, a  race with their own language and culture (cue the 12 foot blue quasi- humanoid creatures with pointy ears, flat noses and ethnic dreadlocks!)  Theres also the usual Hollywood love story so all us girls don’t  have to feel left out while all the action/ fighting/ alien stuff is going on!

The 3D spectacular reportedly cost over $300 million to make and is set to smash all box ofiice sales through the roof! The London premiere in Leicester went down a storn on thw 10th December and all the star cast turned up- Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez and Sam Worthington.

James Cameron himself made an appearence and said: “Finally everyone can see what this amazing cast have managed to pull off. I want to welcome everyone to the planet of Pandora”.  Cameron does mention the serious undertones concerning the film and the messages he wanted to convey about climate change and the environment. He says: ” We are causing a global climate change that’s going to be absolutely devastating to the coral reefs. Science is unable to keep up with our industrial society. We are destroying species faster than we can classify them.”

So will you be going to see the Avatar extravaganza? If its that little too cold to venture out, stay in and play some of movie quizzes on Triviala.

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton has been snapped up to be the new judge on Dancing on Ice, hitting our screens in the new year.

The singer and Heart radio station presenter will be replacing old judge Ruthie Henshall, who also had no ice skating experience. Emma says she is there for  “the performance, the connection with the audience, the choreography. I have been performing for a long time now. I just know what I want to see in a performance. That’s going to be a big part of it for me”.

It seems Emma is catching the reality TV bug after appearing on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and coming 3rd, she helped Dannii Minogue pick out her contestants for the X Factor last year and now a judge on Dancing on Ice.

One of the reasons Emma jumped at the chance to appear on the show was so she could meet the ice skating legends Torvill and Dean, she says : “I’m so excited to be joining a show that I have been a huge fan of since it began, and to be working with Torvill and Dean, I can’t wait to get started.”

What do you make of Emma becoming the new judge and Ruth Henshall being given the cold shoulder?

“So tell us what you want, what you really really want!” We’d love to hear from you or play some of our Spice Girls quizzes at Triviala.

Robbie Williams has denied he is engaged to his long term girlfriend Ayda Field, despite making an off-the-cuff proposal on an Australian radio show.

While congratulation messages poured in over the show, Robbie later published a statement on his official website saying:

“Hey all. We are not engaged. Rob” 

To add to the confusion though, Robbie’s mum fuelled the speculation exclaiming she was “really pleased…and has always wanted a daughter in law”. But it seems Robbie has now settled the rumours!

It seems the ex Take That star is still smitten with his girlfriend of 3 years telling Jonathan Ross “I was introduced to Ayda and things just changed. She’s a wonderful person and I’m in love. She’s really broody and I’m getting there”.

Has all this Robbie talk got you feeling a little Take That nostalgia? Then why not play some of our Take That quizzes on Triviala.

X Factor star Cheryl Cole will star in her own one-off television special, Cheryl Cole’s Night In, on ITV1 this Christmas.

As well as performing songs from her chart-topping album, Cheryl will also guest with big names such as Rihanna and her winning act from last year’s X Factor – Alexandra Burke.

Cheryl said: “2009 has been an incredible year for me with a number one single and a number one album and being part of The X Factor.

“And I couldn’t be happier that ITV have asked me to round off the year with my own show, working with some of my favourite artists.”

ITV1’s controller of entertainment John Kaye Cooper added: “Cheryl started her journey on ITV1 on Popstars: The Rivals and we’re delighted that she now has her own special on the same channel. It’s just testament to her very special talent.”

Cheryl has been incredibly busy this year – what with The X Factor and recording a new album, so we’re shocked she’s found the time to do this Can’t wait, though.

Try some Cheryl Cole quizzes on Triviala, and there’s some Girls Aloud trivia too!

Model Kate Moss has been criticised by camapigners after making some outrageous comments about being skinny.

In an interview with fashion website WWD, Moss claimed one of her mottos for life was: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”

Eating disorder charity Beat described the comments as “dangerous” and “very unhelpful” for sufferers of anorexia and bulimia.

A spokeswoman for Beat told the BBC it was “a very unfortunate phrase” particularly as it was widely used on pro-anorexia websites.

“She probably doesn’t realise how dangerous such comments can be. It’s difficult enough for young people who are struggling to beat eating disorders, without comments like this which are very unhelpful,” she said.

Do you think this was irresponsible of Kate Moss?

Or do you think she is still the queen of fashion?

We have plenty of Triviala fashion quizzes on the site for those of you that need your fix.
