If Brits bosses thought they could end the almighty Wonderbrawl between the Gallaghers, they need to think again.
Feuding Oasis brothers Liam, 37, and Noel, 42, have both been invited to next week's 30th anniversary awards show - and no expense has been spared for their "arrival".
A £14,000 table has been reserved for the lads - whose (What's The Story) Morning Glory? is up for Best British Album of the last 30 years.
However, we're told the chances of them both turning up are about as likely as Gary Glitter picking up a lifetime achievement award.
The brothers are still refusing to speak to each other - and if anyone does get them talking again, well, they'll deserve an award.
Liam, for one, is mulling over the thought of turning up on the night. He said: "I want to go. I want a night out and it would close the Oasis thing for me if we won it." But if he goes, Noel's a no-show, apparently.
His older brother has told pals that if Liam went he would snub the awards completely - and he has a plan B up his sleeve thanks to his mates from Kasabian.
A pal said: "Liam and Noel have still not spoken since they split.
"Things are so bad that Noel is moving into a new house at the moment and is so off radar, Liam doesn't even know the address. Every day the Brits are on the phone checking to see if they are coming, but there is still no answer from either of them. It's as if one is waiting for the other to crack and apologise.
"Liam's thinking he'll leave it until the last minute and will decide if he's going on Tuesday, which is the day itself." However, his relaxed rock star attitude is giving Brits organisers some serious problems.
"This is a live TV show," we're told. "There is no way bosses can keep an entire table empty, waiting on the off chance that they will rock up. Apart from the fact they will lose out on £14,000 worth of unused tickets if they don't turn up, a big empty table will look terrible on the TV." It certainly will - and canny Noel has the perfect get-out clause. Our source adds: "The Kasabian lads have asked Noel if he would perform at a War Child gig on the same night.
"He is seriously considering giving Liam and the awards the finger and turning up to play as a special guest." Brit mean, Noel!

There could be an awkward moment next Tuesday night when the winner of the best Brits Album Of 30 Years is announced.
Acts including Coldplay, Dire Straits and Travis are nominated - but organisers are having a nightmare persuading any of them to turn up.
Oasis, Keane, Duffy, Sade and Dido are also in the running but none of them have agreed to attend yet either.
Phil Collins and The Verve's frontman Richard Ashcroft will be there - but unless they win it could be a little embarrassing.
Radio 2 listeners have already decided the outcome in a public vote and the winner will be announced on the night.
A Brits source said: "Invitations have gone out to all concerned but it is now a tricky situation.
Dire Straits, The Verve and Oasis have all split. Sade won't go as she likes to protect her privacy.
Chris Martin and Co have turned us down as they're recording and preparing for shows.
Duffy is in the studio in the US. Organisers are exploring all avenues to resolve this."
Oasis tipped to take Brits 30 years album title

Oasis tipped to take Brits 30 years album title
They look dead certs to win it for (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - their second album released in 1995. The band, who split last year, are up against Coldplay, Dido, Dire Straits, Duffy, Keane, Phil Collins, Sade, The Verve and Travis.
However, the prospect of Oasis landing the gong has put organisers under pressure in case warring brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher both want to attend.
They will have to be seated well apart and you know there's a chance of trouble.
The lads have not spoken since the huge bust-up backstage in Paris in August when Noel quit the band for good. Liam has already shaken things up nicely - slating Florence And The Machine.
He said: "I'm not having anyone with ginger hair making music. I can't go down that road.
"I'm sure she's a nice girl but she sounds like someone has stood on her fucking foot."
