Human cobweb Russell Brand has been signed up to host next year's BRIT Awards, which will be the first live ceremony in 15 years (yes, since that Jarvis/Jackson incident).
The awards will be held at Earls Court on February 14 and will go out live on ITV. Viewers will be asked to vote for the Top Single prize during the course of the show.
Peter Jamieson, Co-Chairman of the BRITs organising committee, said, "We always promised that BRITs 2007 would be an edgy, exciting show. First we announced we'd broadcast live. Then we announced Oasis as our Outstanding Contribution Award winner. And now there's Russell Brand. The only place to be on Valentines Night is going to be with the BRITs."
Nominations will be announced at the Hammersmith Palais in London on January 16.
