Johnny Depp To Present Oasis With Brits Award




















I can reveal an exciting Brits secret – Johnny Depp will present Oasis with their special achievement gong at next year’s ceremony.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star jumped at the chance to hand over the Oustanding Contribution To Music gong to his pals.

Johnny became mates with Noel Gallagher back in the ’90s after they met through their then girlfriends, Kate Moss and Meg Mathews.

The actor even played slide guitar on the song Fade In-Out, which is on the No1 Oasis album Be Here Now.

A Brits source said: “The awards are shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.

“This year it’s going back to being broadcast live so the organisers have gone for huge names to spice it up.

“Having Johnny Depp there is a massive coup. Getting Oasis is amazing enough but they needed to have someone iconic to present.”

It’s a huge turnaround by Oasis too.

Last year they refused to allow the use of any material from their videos at the Brits because they felt snubbed in the Best Band category. But bosses realised they had made a mistake and the Oustanding Contribution award has built bridges.

I can also disclose that Amy Winehouse will perform a duet — possibly with Pete Doherty.

I revealed last month the Rehab singer and rehab regular have already been in the studio writing together.

That wild pairing sounds like a Rock ’n’ Roll car crash waiting to happen — exactly what the show needs.

A source said: “She’s mad. There is no holding back with Amy, she does exactly what she wants.

“Her and Pete could be an explosive combination.

Their act would definitely have to be screened after the watershed.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers will open the Valentine’s day show, then Russel Brand and Fearne Cotton will introduce live acts Scissor Sisters, Take That and Razorlight.

The Earls Court extravaganza is going to be the 2007 awards show you just can’t miss.
