Sienna Miller's Love Duet With Rhys Ifans

Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans are set to record a duet.

The pair, who are believed to have been dating since August, are planning to emulate their music idols Oasis and perform a romantic rock track.

A source said: "Rhys really likes Oasis, particularly Noel Gallagher so that's the kind of music he would like to make."

Sienna has always dreamed of being a famous singer and is confident of chart success with Rhys. The source added to Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Sienna really enjoys singing and always wanted to be a rock star. Rhys has been very encouraging and convinced her to do something about pursuing her dreams."

Rhys, who plays the guitar, was in the original line-up for Welsh band the Super Furry Animals. The 'Notting Hill' actor recently returned to the recording studio to work on new material with his former bandmate, drummer Dafydd Ieuan.

Rhys is close friends with Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher and famously starred in the video for their UK number one single 'The Importance of Being Idle'.

Russell Brand Ribs Noel Gallagher About His Stalker

Any admirers of the back-combed, snake-hipped lothario who had been caught unawares by the extent to which he likes to interact with the audience during and after the show last time the Essex playboy was in town, were certainly not going to let another opportunity slip them by.

Dressed to the nines (and then some) Manchester singletons did their up most to catch his eye from the moment he flounced on stage and immediately set about integrating with the audience with a spontaneous walkabout.

And to be fair, it’s not difficult to see why his magnetic pull is so strong, as the 32-year-old positive drips with sexual charisma and yet like his hero Morrissey, still manages to remain somewhat enigmatic.

Despite suffering from a cold - the dreaded man-flu I assume - Brand got off to a flyer.

When you’ve got Noel Gallagher’s number on your person it would be churlish not to capitalise on it in the Oasis man’s home town, so after getting no joy with his mobile he, relieved, struck gold on his landline and proceeded to rib him about a reported stalker who had apparently claimed to have penned Noel songs.

Noel, as ever, gave as good as he got before returning to his boiling kettle!

After pulling up a bar stool Russell then delved into the pages of the South Manchester Reporter for inspiration, but devoid of any Red Top-type shenanigans he started to struggle, instead borrowing a fresh-faced teen called Ben’s mobile in an attempt to ring a Chorlton curry house to explain the claims in their advert.

Liam Gallagher On His Favourite John Lennon Track

The January issue of UNCUT is on sale now, featuring an all-star panel of musicians selecting their favourite song by the late Beatle John Lennon.

30: Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

From the John Lennon & Yoko Ono album, Double Fantasy (November 1980)

Written for son Sean, then aged five, and partially inspired by the writings of French psychologist Emile Coue, "Beautiful Boy" sees Lennon extolling the simple joy of fatherhood.

Liam Gallagher, Oasis

"Little James was inspired by "Beautiful Boy" and "Hey Jude". More "Beautiful Boy".

People who've got any soul will realise that there's a day when you go home and put your feet up and cuddle your kids. If anyone slags it off, they've either got no heart or they don't know what the meaning of life is.

They just go out and do-do-do-do-do the same thing everyday. So f**K them. You can't win with these people.

They're going, "You're the wild man of rock, you're this, you don't f**king care," and when you do show a bit of caring, they call you a poof...

Originally, I wanted it to be acoustic. Have you heard Lennon's demos? They're dead crackly, and it's just on the guitar, and that's the way I'd like to write music. But if it's gonna be on an Oasis album, it's gotta be big, hasn't it?

So then I played it to Noel, he went away with the band and he goes: "What do you think of this?"

I went: It's f**king top."

Superstars Lined-Up For Versus Cancer

The organisers of next year's Versus Cancer gig at the M.E.N. Arena are certainly aiming high after approaching a number of top name acts to take part.

Organisers want to up the ante for the show on February 23. And they've signed Embrace singer Danny McNamara to help pull in the big names.

Danny tells me: "It is going to be really big. It will not be so Manchester centric, either. Whereas last year we had Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller together, this time expect unusual collaborations."

What do you want to play? Have your say.

Versus Cancer takes place on Saturday, February 23. Tickets are £40. Click here to book. For details of how you can join the line-up and show your support, simply visit www.versuscancer.org .

Oasis To Play Oxegen Festival?

The first tickets for next year's Oxegen festival went on general sale yesterday morning, causing the thoughts of music fans to briefly wander from the cold winter weather to the-- hopefully -- sun drenched fields of Punchestown next summer.

And the indications were that fans wouldn't be put off by the prospect of a repeat of this year's washout, because the 'early bird' tickets for the now three-day event were reported to selling well.

"We expected it to sell out straight away but it didn't," a ticket seller in the Stephen's Green Shopping centre told the Irish Independent. "But they have been selling consistently throughout the day."

The 'early bird' tickets are being sold at last year's prices of €197.50 plus booking fee for a limited time.

Fans registered on the Oxegen website had the chance to buy their tickets as part of an internet only pre-sale from midnight last Tuesday to seven yesterday morning.

The first act for the Kildare festival has already been announced with the Kings of Leon, who played two dates in Dublin's RDS this week, voted by Oxegen fans as the band they most wanted to see in an online poll.

Promoters MCD say the band was immediately booked in response to the demand. "This is the first time ever the fans have selected a line-up for a festival," MCD's Justin Green said.

"The Kings of Leon topped the poll of the most requested act that the fans wanted to see. We're giving more choice to the fans."

Fans will also be able to choose which campsite they want to buy tickets for -- something MCD says increases choice for fans.

The full line-up for the festival will not be announced until February but early speculation has thrown up names like the Verve, Kaiser Chiefs, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, REM, Massive Attack, Orson and the Foo Fighters.

Liam Gallagher Responsible For Radiohead Spoof Site?

Remember back in September when a hoax Radiohead website was launched, featuring a countdown clock?

Well the site now features a new message claiming the man responsible for the page is none other than Liam Gallagher, front man with the band Oasis.

The site, which can be found here, states the following:

"Maybe This Will Clear Things Up

Well, it's bloody time we let the cat out of the bag. You've all acted like right wankers and entertained us long enough. The rumors you have heard are true ... I am responsible for this site.

It was a laugh. We're having a time recording the new album.

I'm writing deep songs that mean something but are dead simple. Nothing mystic. I want anybody to be able to understand them, even me.

You're all going to drive yourselves mad.

We have our 'discbox' and we're not going to share.

your favourite,

liam gallagher"

First scanned page:

Chill

(I)
Gonna rest on my laurels

I have been waiting
I have been hoping
I have been clocking the watch
Now your in a rush, I’m going to take my time

Gonna take my time

You have been hoping
You have been clocking the watch
You disappeared, you waste my time

Change(A)

Chorus:
When it all comes down
I can’t see your face
While you’ve been flying

But a dollar bill
Won’t save you from the chill

REPEAT VERSE (I)

CHANGE (A)-CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS

QUITE END.

I AM ALWAYS RIGHT!

1. Born at the end of the day

I want to hang out with the boys
I might cry, but I’m feeling ok
Does it show?

2. Its my birthday today
And you never sent a card- Don’t come round here no more Your barred
You’ve got nothing to say
You think your someone else
Your always talking to yourself
Be yourself and be here today

3. ‘Cos I am the man that understands
The world and all its printed plans
I wish I had somewhere to go
Somewhere that no-body knows
Cos I am the man that’s done and seen
All that their has ever been
And I….am always right!

REPEAT v1

CHORUS

ONLY MY PRIDE

1. The city at night, goes to sleep below me
Another day it creeping up on them
It would be nice if you could get to know me
But only if you’ve nothing better to do

Chorus: Only my pride keeps me alive x2

2. You don’t seem to feel the will of the people
You don’t care who your steppin on
And to not know I thought was bad at first
And you don’t wish to know and that’s just worse

You bring nothing, just your on bad news……and your killing me
And don’t come round here no more with shit on your face
You neither here nor there Man you’re a disgrace……and your killing me

Oasis Head To Abbey Road To Record New Album

Oasis are back in the studio laying down tracks for their seventh studio album, and according to frontman Liam Gallagher, things are "f***ing rocking."

"We've got like 8 songs wrote. I think they're f***ing great," he told Spinner. "We've just gotta make sure we write the right record and so we're sort of just picking at these songs and sort of amplifying them a bit more. We've got off to a good start. There's not one acoustic song on it -- it's all f***ing rocking."

The band -- Liam, brother Noel Gallagher, rhythm guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell -- are in London's Abbey Road studios with Dave Sardy, the man who produced the group's last effort, 2005's 'Don't Believe the Truth.' "He's top man. I like him," Liam said of the producer. "We're all on the same page. We're all having a laugh and it's going really easy. We're not having any struggle with any sounds or anything. Touch wood it remains like that."

Liam admits to penning some of the tracks himself, though he wouldn't let their titles out of the bag. "Yeah man, I wrote a couple of songs," he said. "Some of them are rocking. I think they're really cool."

The roaring singer just started laying down vocals a week ago, his first time singing in quite some time. "I've only started singing on this record [recently]," he said. "I've not sang for like six months so I'm easing into it."

By easing into it, Liam noted he's been doing "ten takes of each song" to get the vocals down, "and then we've got it." So far the studio experience has been a good one for the group, the frontman said. One of the best things for the Beatle-loving outfit though has been simply recording in Abbey Road.

"Amazing -- it's amazing man," Liam said. "It's the best studio in the world. As soon as you're in there -- we've been like filming and that in there, if you've got the right clothes on it could be done in 1960. It could be done at any time. You just have to make sure you're wearing the right stuff ... and it smells really nice and old and (puts on an American hippie accent) it's just a nice place to be, man!"

Robin Friday - The Greatest Footballer You Ever Saw

The genius of Robin Friday.

He played for Reading (and then Cardiff for a short time) in the 70's and was a massive talent, almost single-handedly winning the Royals promotion. He was the ultimate party boy and there are many tales about him including the time he kicked Mark Lawrenson in the face and shit in his kit bag, took LSD on the team bus on the way to a game, missed the start of matches cos he was sitting in the pub and scored a goal some believe to be the best ever, unfortunately it'll never be seen due to the lack of video cameras at the time!

He also featured on the front cover of SFA's 'Man Don't Give A Fuck' single and Paul McGuigan (the ex-Oasis guy) wrote a book about him, which is well worth the couple of quid it probably costs on Amazon or Ebay second hand.
