According to The Mirror, Paul Weller has angrily refused to perform a duet with James Blunt at the upcoming Brit Awards, reportedly saying "I'd rather eat my own shit than duet with James Blunt," which doesn't seem very nice.
Oh, sorry, I forgot, it's open season on James Blunt; we're all allowed to wish he was dead because he's done terrible, inhuman things to deserve it, writing a couple of whiny songs, for example. Here's a thought: if he genuinely objects so much to his fellow nominee, perhaps Weller should be boycotting the awards ceremony that have given James 'Satan' Blunt five whole nominations, instead of turning up to receive his Outstanding Contribution To Music award.
Well, I hope this story is rubbish, not because I think there's anything wrong with not wanting to duet with the country's current favourite yearn-popper, but because there's no excuse for rudeness.
