"Rehearsals are all going great, obviously the outstanding contribution this year is Sir Paul McCartney, which we are absolutely thrilled about, he's never been to the Brits before. I know for years we have tried to get him to do it, and for whatever reason it's not been the right time, but this year he has agreed to do it, so that's a major coup for us, for the show, Amy Winehouse will be performing again, which is a great coup for the show, and the Klaxons, and Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Mark Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs, to name but a few, Kylie, can't forget Kylie, so it's going to be an incredible night."

PREVIEW OF STAR STUDDED BRIT AWARDS
AP Entertainment takes a look at main contenders for this year's Brit Award ahead of Wednesday's awards show ( Feb 20th).
AP gained exclusive access to the backstage area, which has a punk theme, and spoke to Ged Doherty, Chairman of the Brits, about the performers for 2008.
"Rehearsals are all going great," he told the AP, "obviously the outstanding contribution this year is Sir Paul McCartney, which we are absolutely thrilled about, he's never been to the Brits before, I know for years we have tried to get him to do it, and for whatever reason it's not been the right time but this year he has agreed to do it, so that's a major coup for us, for the show, Amy Winehouse will be performing again, which is a great coup for the show, and the Klaxons, and Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Mark Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs, to name but a few, Kylie, can't forget Kylie, so it's going to be an incredible night."
Leading the nominations are Take That, Mika and Leona Lewis, with four nominations apiece. They will also go head-to-head in the Best British Album and Best British Single categories.
Take That's nominations include Best British Group and Best Live Act - pitting them against Arctic Monkeys who are also up for Best British single for the second year running.
Other notable acts to make the grade include Arctic Monkeys, Mark Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs and Kate Nash who each have three.
Amy Winehouse has one nomination. Her cover of the Zutons' "Valerie" with producer Mark Ronson is in the running for Best British Single.
And after the recent will she won't shes from the Grammys and the Mercurys, Doherty told the AP Winehouse's performance this evening is an absolute cert. "No, she's absolutely wanted to do it from day one, there's obviously been quite a lot going on around her and we were just delighted when we got the call saying she was definitely coming, and it was only when the equipment turned up last night for us, and the band were here, her manager and security were here, it's definitely happening, so we are delighted that she's going to do it."
Kylie Minogue, who is hoping to win in the Best International Female and Best International Album categories will be performing at the show.
Sir Paul McCartney, who is to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, will also perform, as will Kaiser Chiefs, Mark Ronson, Mika and Rihanna.
Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon will be hosting the event, previously hosted by the likes of Russell Brand, Chris Evans, Cat Deeley and Davina McCall.
