heatworld is feeling a little, erm, sensitive this morning after last night's Vodafone Live Music Awards and, as promised, we've rushed in (slowly, clutching our head) to bring you all the gossip. It was a top night, with live music from artists such as Estelle, Will Young, The Ting Tings and a pretty spectacular routine from the Pussycat Dolls. Seriously, we think those girls have limbs made of rubber. We weren't sure about Mark Ronson's super-specs when we first clapped eyes on them, but we were quickly assured by Fearne Cotton that they are the epitome of "geek chic". That told us, then. Incidentally, Fearne was looking amazing last night, she was literally glowing. But then again, we would be too if we were shacked up with Steve Jones. The big winners on the night included Mark Ronson for Best Male, Kate Nash for Best Female, Take That for Tour of the Year and the Spice Girls for Best Live Return. Sadly for heatworld, Take That couldn't be there, but we were soon comforted by a nice cuddle from the super-cute James Morrison (who we now have a raging crush on!). Will Young was also looking as fit as ever, and told us that he stays trim by "swimming every day and having a steam". We assume he means going in a steam room, and not that steam actually comes out of his ears. We also managed to corner Holly Willoughby, or Holly Willoughbooby, as Keith Lemon insisted on calling her, and asked her if Britney really was going to be on The X Factor. She couldn't tell us, but she did promise some amazing live shows, and reckons that they've got "at least six Leona Lewis' this year". Wow! Keith Lemon had us in stitches with his hilarious – and scarily accurate – impression of BB Rex, whom he refers to as a "hobbit". Interesting... We did try our best to kiss Mark Ronson, but we think he was on to us, and was wearing those glasses as a barricade! See below for a full list of winners. Oh, and do tell us what you make of Ronson's get-up...
