Duffy sweeps BRITs
Kewpie doll/Welsh singing star Duffy took home a single Grammy the other night for her pop confection "Rockferry," but she romped at today's BRITs in London.
Meanwhile, recent Grammy lords Coldplay left empty-handed.
Duffy, who was seemingly everywhere promoting her record last year and its soulful, licensing-ready single, "Mercy," won best album, British female and British breakthrough artist trophies. She's sold 5 million copies of that CD so far. She went 3-for-4.
Coldplay, on the other hand, went 0-for-4. (They're in good company, with Grammy champ Robert Plant not even registering a nod at the annual music awards.)
Other winners included Kings of Leon, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Paul Weller and Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden?

Mmmmm, chocolate Oscar. Not every star will walk away from the 81st annual Academy Awards with a trophy, but if they hit the high-profile Governor's Ball they can have pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted candy version. Also on the menu from celeb chef Wolfgang Puck is tuna tartare in sesame miso cones, chopped Chino Farms vegetable salad with ginger soy vinaigrette, Maine lobster and caviar. Serve it up!
