BLUNT HAS SKI LIFT NAMED AFTER HIM

Singer/songwriter JAMES BLUNT has been honoured in the Swiss ski resort Verbier, after a new chairlift was named after him.

James Blunt at the 49th Annual Grammy Nomination Announcements held at the Music Box. Hollywood, California - 07.12.06

The YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL hitmaker is reportedly planning to move to Verbier in a bid to dodge UK taxes on the GBP 5 million ($9.8 million) he has so far earned from his debut album BACK TO BEDLAM.

And PATRICK MESSEILLER, Verbier's director of tourism, insists Blunt is joining esteemed company.

He says, "He is the godfather of the new lift. It is an honour.

"DIANA ROSS, a popular celebrity in Verbier, has been godmother of a lift since 1998."
