Well, she at least showed up to last night's 2008 Brit Awards. And at this point, showing up is half the battle. She didn't walk away with any awards, but she did perform two songs -- "Love Is a Losing Game" and "Valerie" -- with Mark Ronson, who picked up an award for Best Male Solo Artist (an award second in importance only to the unofficial MTV Buzzworthy Obsession of the Year award), but unfortunately he did not strip on stage to celebrate his win. (Boo!) Instead, he accepted the award by saying "I've never felt so British or so male before in my life."
Other Brit Award highlights included: The entire Osborne clan playing MC; Rihanna's performance of "Umbrella," with Klaxons on back up; Kylie Minogue's win for Best International Female Solo Artist; Mika's win for Best British Breakthrough Act; multiple wins for the Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys; Paul McCartney's performance and Outstanding Contribution To Music award; and the night's big upset -- Leona Lewis, an assumed shoe-in for Best Female Solo Artist, leaves empty handed when the award goes to Kate Nash.
