With our favourite party girl Amy Winehouse missing from the Grammys there was only one thing for it - to join local girls Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan for some serious LA action.

But while we expected things to be wild, we didn't predict being flies on the wall for the mother of all cat-fights between the pair.

We watched open-mouthed as Lindsay pointed at Paris and snarled: "What the hell is that bitch doing here? I didn't know she was on the list."

To which Paris spat back: "F*** off you bitch."

We were caught in the crossfire of their extraordinary bust-up at Timbaland's exclusive pre-Grammys bash at Avalon.

From the cosy confines of our VIP table - where we necked cocktails with Pink, Kelis and Britney Spears's cousin Ali - we watched the hilarious confrontation unfold.

And the reason for them locking horns in public? A bloke, natch...

A source close to the pair explained to us: "Both of them want to work with Timbaland to revive their faltering music careers.

"Both saw the party as an ideal way of getting him on side - but they didn't count on the other being there." Lindsay arrived at the party first. She made a beeline for the hit producer - who has worked with Justin Timberlake and Madonna - and waved at him wildly over the barriers.

Then Paris strolled in surrounded by a massive entourage and took up a seat directly opposite Li-Lo - and far closer to Timba.

Clocking her rival, Lindsay began fluffing up her hair extensions and launched into verbal attack. After her outburst she flounced past Paris, giving the hotel heirhead a death stare.

And taking a huge swig of Red Bull, she made her move - clambering over a sofa towards her prey. Not to be outdone, nimble Paris hurdled a barrier and flung herself at him first.

None of which impressed the great man himself, who gave both a blank stare before walking off. Well done girls!

There's bound to have been bags of bust-ups at last night's Grammys. We'll be there, bringing you all the backstage dirt and party politics tomorrow...
