Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has denied rumours of a duet with Kate Moss.
Sources at The Clifton pub in north London had claimed the pair were set to make a tune called Sound. Liam, 35, has previously slated 33-year-old Kate's ex Pete Doherty, 28, and dissed the pair for their narcotic naughtiness.
Oasis are currently recording their new LP at Abbey Road with producer Dave Sardy.
Liam Gallagher appears to have developed a bizarre taste.. for microphone muffs.
Larking around at the Led Zep gig, he was asked by Virgin's Adrian Hieatt if he was excited.
After a bizarre 5-second stare, Liam, 35, shouted out 'Mega!', before biting off Hieatt's muff, and scarpering with it in his mouth. Yer still mad fer it then, Liam?
And Noel Gallagher was chuffed to bits on Monday night when he got a half-hour one-on-one backstage chat with Led Zeppelin guitar god Jimmy Page.
I’d love to tell you what they spoke about, but I don’t know. More alarmingly, neither does Noel. The Oasis hitmaker was so hammered he has no recollection of the monumental meeting of minds following Zep’s triumphant comeback gig at London’s O2 arena — and he’s completely gutted.
A source told me: “Noel’s rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest musical figures.
“He was really looking forward to exchanging notes with Jimmy — but he’d overdone it on the Stella.
“He woke up the morning after the show and realised he couldn’t remember anything about their chat.”
So even legendary caners make schoolboy Stella Artois-related drinking errors.

Dave Grohl caused a stir at the bar... by whistling at Liam Gallagher.
But it wasn't because he fancied him, he just wanted to catch his attention.
Still, Liam didn't like it one little bit. Sticking his fingers up at the Foo Fighter at the other end of the bar, Liam snarled: "What the f*** is that Dave? Come over here and f****** do that."
Calm down love. Dave got stuck into a couple of free beers instead.

Oasis fan Ashleigh went along to Abbey Road last week (6/12) to try to meet Oasis outside the world famous studios, this is his story.....
I got there for around 10 in the morning. It was pretty cold and pouring with rain all morning. I just waited outside all morning not 100% if the band would even be there. Around 11am, a black cab turned up and out came who I believe to be Dave Sardy. At around half-past 11 Jason Rhodes who I recognize from videos etc came out jumped in his car and drove off.
I then waited around for another hour when I saw Jason Rhodes driving back down the road and in the passenger seat is Noel Gallagher. I waited by the car as Noel got out, by now I'm pretty nervous and Noel is on the phone. So I wait a minute then he gets off and I say a very nervous "hello" and ask him to sign my Definitely Maybe and I get Jason Rhodes to take a pic of me and Noel. I then thank him then Noel goes off into the studio.
I wait around for 10 more minutes and a cab pulls up. Who pulls out of the cab Zak followed by Liam. Liam seemed really friendly and signed my Definitely Maybe cover and Zak took the pic the pic of me and Liam.
I decided not to wait for anyone else as I was absolutely freezing and soaking wet.
Members of the Arctic Monkeys and Oasis are among an illustrious list of names who have made the guestlist for Led Zeppelin’s one-off reunion show later tonight (December 10th).
Sir Paul McCartney and his daughter, Stella, Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley and Snow Patrol are also set to watch tonight’s spectacle.
As well as a traditional guestlist, which reportedly includes Kate Moss and Paris Hilton, Led Zeppelin have their own private ‘list’ which features Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl.
Speaking about being included on tonight’s guestlist, Arctic Monkeys’ drummer Matt Helders told the BBC that John Bonham, the band’s original drummer, was one of his biggest influences.
“I will be attending on Monday, I only found out yesterday (December 8th) that I could go though, I kind of forgot about it, obviously it's a big thing but yesterday we were told someone had got us tickets as a gift so I am very excited about that,” he said.
The band’s performance at the O2 Arena in London tonight attracted over 1 million ticket applications for just 18,000 tickets.
Demand was so high that one fan donated £83,000 to the BBC’s Children In Need in order to get a pair of tickets to the show.
Support at tonight’s concert will come from a number of Atlantic Records artists, including, Pete Townshend and Paolo Nutini.
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.
The route that took MOJO, Oasis and Zed Nelson to South-East London’s Rivoli Ballroom was a weird one. Originally the cover shoot was set for The Water Rats club in King’s Cross – the venue in January 1994 of Oasis’s second London show. But the romantic, lager-fugged reminiscences of the MOJO art team were cruelly dashed by the daytime reality, the crushed velvet decadence of our memories turning into cig ash and gaffer tape before our eyes.
In the end, we transplanted our visions of deep reds and faded opulence south of the river. But the technical demands of the venue nearly derailed the shoot before it began.
“The Rivoli Ballroom was such a massive space,” recalls Nelson, equally well-known for his edgy reportage as he is for his fresh portraiture. “It looked beautiful, but lighting it was a nightmare. It meant a really slow shutter speed, which in turn meant the band had to stand really still. But controlling Oasis is hard enough at the best of times. It’s like going into a zoo and having to tame the silverback gorillas.”
Nelson’s team were blessed with an unexpected ally: Liam Gallagher’s hangover. While drink can often make the Oasis singer even more volatile, his pre-prandial crapulence rendered him as docile as a puppy. While Nelson got on with the snappery, it was up to other members of the MOJO team to defuse the entourage…
“I was trying to get good pictures of Liam and Noel,” says Nelson, “but the PR was agitating to make sure the other guys were in the pics – it became a diplomatic dance, almost a comedy really. It’s hard to get an interesting dynamic with a group – in the end, it’s four guys in a line – but with Liam and Noel it’s a more complicated relationship, and that’s what you’re trying to capture. Luckily, everyone got what they wanted in the end.”
Ultimately, reckons Nelson, if you keep thing in mind, rock portraiture should never pose insuperable problems.
“Basically, half the people that pretend not to give a fuck desperately do give a fuck. The people who really don’t give a fuck are actually quite easygoing.”
