MIKA - MIKA ALMOST BANNED FROM ATTENDING BRITS

British pop star MIKA was almost banned from performing at this year's (08) Brit Awards after he revealed stage secrets to the media. The Grace Kelly star has been nominated for four awards at this month's (20Feb08) ceremony - including Best British Album and Best British Single - but was almost axed from the show after giving away too much about his planned extravagant performance. He says of the event's organisers, "I've been overly involved, they're not used to that."
