Muse Want to be Near Nelly Furtado

Muse rockers Matt Bellamy and Chris Wolstenholme say they plan to hook up with their pop idols at tonight's EMAs bash.

Singer Matt, whose band is up for 'Best Alternative' act and 'Best Album' at tonight's do, told MTV, "I'd have asked for my dressing room to be near Nelly Furtado's so I could get a glimpse of her if I could!"

And band mate Chris commented, "I'm going to go and knock on P Diddy's door - hopefully his people will let me in."

Justin Timberlake was given the thumbs up by the 'Black Holes and Revelations' rockers too - "I like him a lot, he's a cool cat and his music is good," Chris told us, while Matt chipped in, "I like his dancing."

We reckon JT will be quite happy with that big up from the band, after all he did tell us their album was one an iPod favourite.

But the Muse boys will have to be quick if they're to chink glasses with their music mates - they're getting an early morning flight to Dublin to continue on their world tour.

"Hopefully we'll be a little bit drunk by that time," Matt told us.

We're sure that won't be a problem, boys...
