The New Year's Honours will be upon us shortly, and Ladbrokes are running a book on which popstars may get the nod from Lizzie for the year of 2003.

Reformed wildman Eric Clapton heads the list at 11/4. Debauchery is positively encouraged these days by her Maj, considering Mick and Elt have been awarded recently.

Sir Ringo anyone? He's 3/1 on, as is Sting, who spends all his time (when he's not shagging) trying to save rain forests while playing the bass with his shirt off. David Bowie is 5/1 which we might have a little flutter on.

Roger Daltrey (big hair, trouts) is 9-1, while band mate Pete Townsend (deaf, big nose, nutter) is 10/1.

Rod Stewart (shagger of blondes) is 12/1 and Keith Richards is 16/1!

It could happen!

George Michael (toilets) is 25/1 and even Chris Martin (self-deprecating) is in at 66/1 bizarrely enough.

Liam Gallagher (Terminator) is 150/1, though expect those odds to widen, and dear old Shaun Ryder ("---") is 250/1, and lets face it, you'd be chucking your money away.
