Cheryl won't win Best Single, as there's not been a vote on the night like in previous years - it's based just on the online votes. JLS will have the advantage there with their big fanbase

JLS will still win best british single, 2/3 isn't that bad!

They're going to win another soon!

Cheryl is there here are her shoes - http://twitpic.com/13mchp she's just not doing the red carpet

No where yet, that's from Dean Piper on twitter

Cheryl's singing FFTL mixed with Robin's Show Me Love

But isn't Cheryl performing Parachute? Thebrits twitter said a "recent one", that can't be FFTL...

It's true that Cheryl was asked to rearrange her performance for the longer 9PM slot. At least, yesterday it was, but they've already been moving everyone around over the weekend it could still change. Opening act as of yesterday was

Nope, she's changed her name to Cheryl Cole, it doesn't matter who she is married to - that is her name. It doesn't revert back if she splits, she would have to ask for it to be changed back. Heck, she could've changed her surname to Cole without even marrying him, you can change your surname whenever you want to whatever you want (within reason, of course) Even so, she can ask people call her Cheryl Cole even if her name was Tweedy.

The Sun frontpage has changed... for the worse. It's now "ASHLEY BEDDED SEX TXT GIRL", they're saying they actually met up and slept together. It's taken the whole front page and even their brits special has been removed... Article here if you want to read: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/...-text-girl.html Anyway, if (she better!) she divorces him, she can still keep the name Cheryl Cole. Plenty of woman keep their married name after a divorce. I hope her performance tonight is epic, but Paddy Power are offering 3/1 odds she breaksdown or forgets her words... nice.

The X Factor gets nearly 3x as many viewers, but I don't think you could ever say that the show is held in "high esteem".

Viewing figures over the past few years: 2009 - 5.2m 2008 - 6.1m 2007 - 5.3m Not as many as I thought... but I guess a much higher percentage of music buyers.

tHey're ALL asking for votes, FFS. Why pick on Cheryl? Pixie Lott uploaded a video asking people to vote and if she wins she'll mention them in her winner's speech. JLS also had a YT video asking for votes. La ROux' website is asking for votes, as is Alesha's and Taio Cruz's blog. Of course, in reality, NONE of them are asking for votes. Do you really think Cheryl sat down at her PC to update her own website? It's all done by her label and PR...

From the Brits' twitter: Cheryl Cole's rehearsal were quality - looks like she'll be performing recent one, but there's a slight twist - watch it on the 16th http://twitter.com/BRIT_Awards So.. is she not doing FFTL? By "recent one" I assume Parachute?

I got you at 52, We are the world at 22

#23 on German iTunes after less than 24 hours!

#20 on German iTunes, "funnily" enough right inbetween Cheryl and Alexandra

http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content/StaticFile/jpg/2010/Feb/Week2/15547349.jpg Cheryl/Ashley story finally leaked... oh dear..

Germany is looking very good for her. I believe she has a performance on a big TV show there and that's why they're waiting with the release. Looks like she could go top 10 there based on the fake version!

But they're not "real" charts, they're just complied from lots of dubious data and sources. Wikipedia has a list of the world's "real" charts - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Rec...#Sourcing_guide

Cheryl scores her second top 10 outside of the UK! #9 in Netherlands Dutch Top 40!

Cheryl was only B-listed today, it won't have had any affect yet. Her video however has been #1 on all the box-breakers, 4 music stuff for the past week and is on nearly every 30 minutes. I expect Parachute will be top of the TV airplay charts on Sunday. Leona really needs a video out NOW

Parachute up to #21, still over a month to release
