Oasis Star To Marry

Liam Gallagher is marrying his long-term All Saints girlfriend Nicole Appleton today.

The showbiz couple, who have been together for nearly eight years, were keen to keep the wedding quiet.

Liam's brother Noel will be at the small gathering, as well as Nicole's sister Natalie and her husband Liam Howlett of the Prodigy.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Nicole, 32, said: "It's important to me and I love the idea of being married."

"A few of my friends are getting married and it's such a stress.

"It becomes like a circus and people don't dare mention the w-word."

Nicole has been credited with taming the Oasis wildman.

She said: "When I see him strutting on to the stage I don't recognise him."

"He's like a lion tamer and with a crack of the whip he controls the fans.

"He can't do that to me. At home, I'm the lion tamer. Definitely."

There is every chance of a brother or sister for the couple's son Gene, six.

Nicole, who had an abortion when she was engaged to Robbie Williams in the late 90s, told the Mirror: "I'd like to have more kids but we haven't got any immediate plans.

"I love being a mum and I'm very happy with my little boy.

"I don't want to take any time or attention away from him."

With Nicole by his side, it seems Liam has put his party days behind him and prefers to watch reality TV at their North London home.

She said: "He loves X Factor and really got into Hell's Kitchen. We love those kind of shows - Big Brother, Strictly Come Dancing, Jeremy Kyle."

Liam, 35, divorced Emmerdale and Holby star Patsy Kensit, the mother of his son Lennon, eight, in 2000.

He also has a daughter, Molly, nine, with singer Lisa Moorish.

Nicole said: "Liam is the best daddy in the world.

"He does the school run every day and would do anything for the kids."

Meanwhile Nicole is busy with her new role for ITV Mobile.

She joins fellow All Saints member Mel Blatt, Emma Griffiths and Dave Berry travelling the country with The Hot Desk interviewing celebs from the world of music, film, TV and sport.

Mobile phone users can download the service free and access a bank of in-depth interviews with stars.

Nicole said: "It's going to be great to be the interviewer for a change."

She also revealed Liam and Noel are getting on better these days after years of bickering.

Nicole said: "Everything's great between them. Noel's new baby Donovan is gorgeous.

"His cousins adore him. It's one big happy family."

Oasis Find The "Lord" On New Single, Documentary DVD

It's been a minute since last we heard from those exemplars of reserve Oasis. Of course, isn't that always the case? Every few years, they throw some big hooks and swirling choruses down on wax, collect the requisite "best record since Be Here Now" pullquotes, slag off whoever's big at the moment (I can hear it now: "That Kanye kook's a real wanker, innit?"), tour a bit, punch a dude, and step off for a few more years. Hey, whatever works.

Annnnd Oasis are back! With a new single and a new(ish) DVD that share a title! They're both called Lord Don't Slow Me Down, and we shall discuss the previously Forkcasted single first. You'll be able to have and to hold that sweet "Lord" October 21, though only via digital outlets. So goes the Beatles goes Oasis, I suppose.

Then there's the Universal-issued DVD: it's a tour documentary that screened in select theaters last year, it features a commentary track from Liam, Noel, Andy, and Gem, and for a limited time, it'll come with a bonus disc with 16 tracks culled from a July 2005 show at City of Manchester Stadium. That thing'll drop November 6.

As for those always-tentative future plans? No tour as such, but a full-length is planned for next year. Word on the street is, it's the best one since Don't Believe the Truth.

Blender Pulps Worst Rock Lyricists

Sting has topped a compilation of 40 artists and been labelled the Worst Rock Lyricist in US magazine Blender.

The Police front man was awarded the title for what the magazine described as his "mountainous pomposity, cloying spirituality (and) ham-handed metaphors".

Slammed for Shakespeare references, name-dropping and quoting a Volvo bumper sticker (If you love someone set them free), according to the magazine Sting's songwriting talent has also been marred by his Cold War reference.

NOVA 100 program director Todd Campbell said he couldn't argue with Sting's No 1 rating.

"I realised when I ran for the dictionary one time after hearing Sting sing about Mephistopheles that they're probably right," he said.

FOX FM music director Scott Baker-Smith said while the Police were a great band, their lyrics were often questionable.

"He's in between that really corny, lovey-dovey stuff, and then he's trying to be completely whimsical on the other end," he said.

Canadian soft-rock king Bryan Adams narrowly made it on to the list at spot 37, described by Blender as a generic singer who was overloaded with metaphors, citing lyrics "She's black coffee, little bit of cream/ Sweet brown sugar, my midnight dream/ Black pearl, my kinda girl/ Just the kinda thing to rock my world."

Noel Gallagher's placement at No 4 was controversial for both Oasis lovers and haters.

Campbell said Gallagher didn't deserve to be on the list -- especially only three spots away from Sting.

But Baker-Smith disagreed.

"Musically he was never original," he said.

"I love Oasis and I think their unoriginality is probably their strong suit but I get a really strong sense that their words just have to fit with the music."

Other controversial rankings were Jim Morrison at No 10 for The Unknown Soldier lyrics, and Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar at No 11 for their Wind Beneath My Wings lyrics.

Jon Bon Jovi was ranked at No 22 with "My heart is like an open highway/Like Frankie said, I did it my way" and the Red Hot Chili Pepper's Anthony Kiedis came in at No 40 for his lyrics "Intercourse with a porpoise/Is a dream for me."

Q&A: Tom Clarke Of The Enemy

Tom Clarke, lead singer with The Enemy, talks to Ed Power about reaching number one, meeting The Stones and that feud with DJ Alex Zane

How did you come to work with Oasis producer Owen Morris?

"We're massive Oasis fans. If you think about it, they're the last great rock 'n' roll band. The only ones to have since come even close are Kasabian and Muse. But that had nothing to do with it -- Owen's wife was really into us, which is how we got in contact."

Travis Admit Stealing Music From Oasis

Travis have admitted taking the chords from Oasis' 'Wonderwall' to use in their 1999 single 'Writing To Reach You'.

Songwriter Fran Healy explained how he found that a promising chord sequence he'd written was identical to the chords from the Oasis classic, but decided that Noel Gallagher would approve of the borrowing.

Talking to XFM, Healy said: "I remember trying to play a song by a band, I can't remember their name, but it was a song called ''74-'75' [by The Connells ]. I was trying to play the tune and it went [wrong], I quickly swapped it to E minor and I added this [sings guitar riff] and I thought 'oh, that's good'.

"Then I realised they were actually the chords to 'Wonderwall' and I was like 'damn'! And then I thought, you know, Noel's always talking about nicking chords from people, so I figured just using the chords was acceptable - but I doff my cap to the writer!"

Trouble For Liam Over Cigarettes 'N' Alcohol

Liam Gallagher faces being banned from his favourite boozer after ignoring the smoking ban and lighting up twice.

The 35-year-old Oasis front-man was watching England's game against Russia at his local in North London when things turned slightly sour.

Liam - famed not only for his top musical talents but also his wild ways - was far from pleased when he was asked to move outside having sparked up. An onlooker at The Queens pub in Primrose Hill said: "Liam had a cigarette in his mouth and was intent on watching the football".

"He was with some Manchester friends who kept popping outside to smoke" "Liam lit his cigarette and was loitering in the doorway when an older woman near him suddenly started coughing and told him to move outside, which he did"

"Someone who appeared to work there politely explained to Liam that if he wanted to smoke, he had to go outside and said he had been warned."

But fast forward an hour to the final moments of the game and Liam did the same again. He argued he was outside of the doorway but staff said he wasn't. "And he was politely warned if he did it again, a third time, he'd be asked to leave an not come back."

Reveller Nia Beven, 36, who was in the pub with pals, added: "Liam's mates were bent double laughing at him but he didn't see the funny side. He started swearing and flew into one of his rants. Then he stormed off outside to Primrose Hill park and sat with his pals smoking"

"He certainly caused quite a commotion and it was all very rock 'n' roll. His mates had to calm him down and he stuck on his motorbike helmet before demanding they all headed off."

Definitely Maybe a case of Don't Look Back In Anger then, Liam. Ahhh, how we love the Burnage boy...

Liam Looks Just Like Crazy Frog

He's a fairly unpleasant character in goggles and a crash helmet — and so is the Crazy Frog.

Liam Gallagher put the gear on to ride his scooter to watch the England vs Russia game in a London pub.

But he may have needed it for protection.

He told a fan upset at England’s loss: “I’m glad. They all get paid too much.”

Cigarettes & Alcohol (And An Oasis DVD)

We gave uber fans The Twang loads of beer and the Gallagher brothers new DVD - this is what happened.

Like most kids of the 90's The Twang's Phil Etheridge had his own private trove of Gallagher's Brothers porn: "I've still got it," he reveals. "I thought it'd be long gone, but I was cleaning out some drawers the other day and I found it again!" Whenever Oasis swaggered across the nation's TV screens, there you'd find a teenage Phil hunched over his VCR, finger poised on 'record', well-worn tape already rewound, ready to add a few precious minutes to his private reel.

For Phil, like a million kids in a million nowheres, Oasis were everything. Not only were they all you needed to know about being young and alive, they were a blueprint to making it out for all those whose horizons were being lowered year-upon-year. It was their spirit of f***-'em-all determination that drove Phil to the practice room after he clocked off from his job at the HP Sauce factory. And after his band scored a £1.6million publishing deal earlier this year, they splashed out on £6,000 coats from Harrods, "because Liam wore one once". The Twang are a band who believe it to be a moral failing not to live up the the ideals of the "rocknrollstar".

So who better to arm with a bottomless supply of beer in a Nottingham hotel room and ask to to pass judgement on Oasis' new DVD, 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down'? It's a stately portrait of the frustations a boredom of touring, intercut with the customary laugh-so-hard-you-die Gallagher banter. And blow us down if the sober habits of the grown up rock stars grown-up rock stars on-screen aren't outrun by the circus of bum-baring and hotel room-disrespecting off-screen.

Hour by hour, minute by minute, this is how it rolled...

7:15

NME arrives as The Twang are supping champagne at the bar of their swankey hotel on Maid Marian Way. It's just opposite Nottingham's Tails Of Robin Hood Experience and around the corner from the towns latter-day Gin Lane: Bathed in disco-light and vomit and saturated with students and townies in explosively equal numbers.

The Twang are on a tour of freshers' balls, a lucrative if spiritually unfulfilling pasttime, "Me and Martin have been dancing like this," Phil claims, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together in the universal gesture for 'Loadsamoney'. "The place was pretty empty.. everyone was more interested in the free Sambucca they were serving in the bar. Everyone was piling down to watch Dave Pierce, for f*** sake".

8:00

A DVD player is borrowed from upstairs, room service is ordered, and a shower cap is employed to bypass the smoke detector. The Twang have shoved Matty's girly mags aside and splayed themselves across his bed.

8:15

On-screen some shirtless hooli-goon is balling 'Live Forever' into a beer can as he queues for Oasis' Astoria show. "We're buzzing off this c***," Noel deadpans on the commentary "It's the Twang geezer," Liam drawls. Noel, Liam and Colin Murray hose themselves. It's not a direct likeness that sets them off, it's more the way that his face is arranged into an expression that cries, "I'm having soooo much fun".

8:16

"That's ace!" Phil wears the glazed expression of a man who's just been punched in the balls by a creature he had, until that very moment, considered mythical. Imagine being happy-slapped by a centaur: it's that same mix of pain, confusion and awe congealing on his face. "Yeah, but there saying 'Fook off, t**t'," Martin's girlfriend reminds him. "I don't care. Oasis know we exist. That's ace. Even if that bloke looks nothing like me...ace..." he mumbles. "Ace..." "Where's the room service?" Jon wines. Unable to last out, he attacks the minibar. Viciously: he's somehow yanked the door clean off his hinges, discarding it where it lies with little more than a shrug.

8:30

Stick a few drinks in Matty's tank and he transforms from shy band mascot into Keith Moon's loco nephew. He is now officially Acting Up. "Hey Andy!" Matty calls NME's snapper to come and capture him enthroned on the loo, trousers-around-ankles, pulling the same gurn he's been mugging for our camera all evening, before rising, knocking over some stray glasses and attempting to rip the curtains down in one grad gesture. He slumps back on the bed for a few minutes of gentle response, intermittently mooning his audience.

8:50

On the telly, Oasis are getting high: each filling their leathered bronchioles from a cylinder of pure oxygen, moments before going onstage in California. Meanwhile, The Twang are skinning up and discussing the possibility they too could get Oxygen on their rider. "Yeah, sure, costs about £60," their tour manager reflects. "No problem," Martin chips in, "We'll just take your wine off our rider then, eh?" Touche!

8:58

"Room service!" from where he lay prostrate on the bed, his trousers somewhere discarded, Matty now bounds up and hugs the waiter from behind, wrapping his long arms around his back. The faces of the service staff curdle into appropriate disdain, as they survey the demolished minibar door.

9:15

"Were' making a film about Japanese journalists," Noel tells a Japanese journalist on the DVD, in full Mancunian wind-up mode. "That's what all these cameras are for." The Japanese journalist nods, noncommittally. Phil leans forward, "It's rotter!!" The Twang, it turns out, have met this particular Japanese journalist. "Yeah, we met him when we were playing Summer Sonic," he relates. "Japan was mad. We all got arrested. We were out with some Australian guy and he was showing us around. We got back to the hotel about 4am when out of nowhere this Aussie geezer started smashing the f*** out of his motorbike that was parked outside. So we were like, 'F*** this' and all piled into a taxi. But somehow he managed to pile-in with us. The cops started chasing us - had us pinned up against the wall at one point. They took us back to the station, and as they were emptying our pockets I was like, "Thank you God that I don't have any sniff on me.' Two hours earlier, I'd been wandering around the centre of town randomly asking people if they'd got any." he shrugs. "This was Japan, so of course some guy was handicamming the whole thing, which is how we got off in the end."

9:25

Oasis are in the US of A: "So is 'Cast No Shadow' dedicated to Richard Ashcroft because he's so thin that if he faces the sun you can see him?" A radio DJ asks, "No," Noel says, "The reason one would 'Cast no shadow' in such circumstance would be if one were invisible..." "Oh, yeah..." The Twang laugh like Hyenas on helium.

9:28

"Matty, you're getting a hard-on," Martin's misssus complains. "I was trying to hide that," replies Matty. "Now you've gone and told everyone."

9:30

"Windmill! Windmill! Windmill!" For society's sake, Matty really needs no encouragement. But here he is, being brazenly egged on by the Twang WAGs. 'Windmilling', for the uninitiated, is a Twang custom that basically involves Matty getting his dick out and whirling it in circles until he gets bored or arrested. Matty's dick is a pillar of Twang folklore, because of both it's size and it's ability to emerge in the most incongruous places. Phil: "Me and Matty played a game once when we were waiting to get on a plane in Berlin. It went a bit like this: 'How drunk can you get drunk in a hour?' It turned out that the answer was 'very'. So we get on the plane, but we were so mashed by then the stewardesses came round to give me a colouring-in book to keep me busy. Then I see Matty has whipped it out. The stewardesses were like: 'That's nice... but we've got to get ready for take-off now.'"

10:00

Like a dragonfly that lives for a day, Matty's juices are now spent and the DVD winds to a close. We leave him and head to Chino Latino for more drinks.
