Liam Gallagher Gets Plucked

Liam Gallagher has been preened and pampered after spending an entire day at an LA spa.

The Oasis star is even said to have sampled some waxing on his chest and eyebrows.

Liam, 35, has been in the US with his older brother Noel, 40, to record their seventh album and sources say he booked into the plush Four Seasons hotel spa last week.

Our stateside spy said: "Liam enjoyed some swimming in the morning and checked into the beauty spa area before lunch.

And as well as the usual back massage and pedicure, he was also treated to some reflexology and waxing.

Liam spent just over seven hours there as he'd been working in the studio all night. It was just what he needed."

Exclusive Interview With Pete Mckee

stopcryingyourheartout.com has been lucky enough to interview Sheffield artist Pete Mckee.

We quiz him about the artwork he has done for Oasis, the 10ft guitar he painted for Gibson Guitartown, meeting Paul Weller, Steve Cradock, Noel & Gem Archer in Weller's studio and more.

Q: How did you get onto painting your cartoons?
A: Out of Necessity, I was skint and I wanted to give my mate a good birthday present.

Q: How did you go about getting Noel Gallagher to see your artwork?
A: I was cheeky and sent him a print, I'm sure he and Liam gets inundated with gifts, so it blew my mind when he got in contact with me.










Q: The 10 Foot Les Paul guitar that you did for Noel for Gibson Guitartown last year was simply superb and went for over £3000 at auction. Do you know who bought it and did it surprise you it went for so much?
A: I believe the Teenage Cancer Trust bought it and I was over the moon that I was able to help raise the money.

Q. What was it like to have your artwork on display with such great artists as Sir Peter Blake, Gerald Scarff, Rosie Brooks and many others?
A: It' was rather a proud moment to have my guitar stood next to Sir Peter Blake's, though I was more proud that Noel asked me to do the painting in the first place.













Q: Is it true that you caught Paul Weller's eye with the guitar that you did for Noel?
A: I think he was rather taken by it, especially as his was rather plain, but that's just my opinion.
Q: I saw on your website www.petemckee.com that you met Noel & Gem at Paul Weller's studio earlier this year. That must have been a great experience...
A: One of the most serial mornings of my life, It sort of didn't sink in really, as it wasn't planed. You tell yourself that these people are just the same as you but in reality they are the two people who've help play the sound track to my life, so you can't help but feel a little star struck. Paul Weller, Steve Cradock, Noel and Gem are proper gents.

Q: Are there any other musicians that you would like to work with?
A: I'm a massive fan of Edwyn Collins, who suffered a massive stroke a couple of years ago, I'd love to work with him as I have immense respect for him and his work.













Q: Noel must have been thrilled with the work you did for the guitar to let you do a gig poster and limited edition print. Did you pick the gig? And why that one.. And are they going to be a part of a series celebrating some of the bands legendary shows?.
A: Not sure why that one was picked, so your guess is as good as mine on that one, though I can tell you I did about 9 different designs for the poster and that was the one Noel and the lads picked.

Q: Is there a story behind the image of the print?
A: I sort of imagined this fan taking a day trip to Brighton for the gig and have a few hours to spend before the gig, so entertains himself by arising around on a few kids rides.

Q: Have you heard anything positive from the band on the print?
A: I know they like it.













Q: I have seen posts on various Oasis forums and sites for you to do the artwork for the next album. If Noel gave you a call to do ask you to do it, would you take him up on his offer?
A: Like a flippin shot. I'm touched that people have mentioned it. I'd like to think that most Oasis fans could relate to my work as like the band we are all working class kids.

Q: What's your favorite album by Oasis?
A: I'm old school so it's (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

Q: What's your favorite track by Oasis?
A: I'm going to say She's Electric. Because I love the story in that song, it's like how I hope my painting look.

Q: Are there any other projects you are working on at the moment that you can tell us about.?
A: I'm currently painting my little fingers off on a new exhibition called 33 and a 3rd. and is all about music, both watching it, playing it and wearing the clothes. It's in Sheffield and is launched on April 13th at the Forum.










Q: I saw on Wikipedia that you were commissioned by Acme studios to interpret characters from US TV shows The Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama. How did that come about? And what does it evole?
A: It's still in the pipeline and has been for 12 months now, they must do things differently over their. But I got the job when I exhibited in New York and the guys saw my work there.

Q: Finally did you enjoy the Game between Sheffield Wednesday and United enough a few weeks ago, to do a painting on it?
A: I've done enough Wednesday paintings for the mo' so I shall just bask in the glory.

Noel Gallagher Buys Guns In LA To Pursue Shooting Hobby

Their bouts of brotherly fisticuffs are legendary. But hard-knock Liam Gallagher had better think twice before squaring up to Noel in future - now that his big brother is armed and dangerous...

We can sensationally reveal that 40-year-old Noel - supposedly one of the last true rock 'n' rollers - has been stocking up on guns in LA so that he can follow his country pursuits as a tweed-wearing toff.

Noel, who is in LA recording the next Oasis album, is so excited about his new past-time, he has been texting his pal Tom Meighan - lead singer of Kasabian - to tell him all about it.

A baffled Tom, 27, tells us: "He sent me a text about going shooting in America, and about how scared he was of shooting himself.

"I've not heard from Noel in a while, so as soon as he's finished recording in LA it would be nice to meet up and find out what happened. He was going to get some guns and rifles I think. It was supposed to be a leisurely day out or hobby to get stuck into."

Yet Noel is not the only rocker with aspirations to be an English gent. At last month's Brits the Arctic Monkeys turned up in country attire, all breaches and flat-caps.

And let's not forget who kicked off the craze - 49-year-old Madonna. She and hubby Guy Ritchie used to invite Brad Pitt and Vinnie Jones - who taught her to shoot in the first place - to their estate on the Wiltshire-Dorset border to join them in their, er, country pursuits.

Of course, Noel could just be arming himself for protection incase he has any more run-ins with ageing Grease heroes.

We revealed yesterday how he had a knife pulled on him by Jeff Conaway - aka Kenickie - backstage at a Marilyn Manson gig in LA.

Tom adds: "I heard about that. How mad is that, having Kenickie from Grease pull a knife out on you?"

Grease Star Jeff Conaway Pulls A Knife On Noel Gallagher

The Gallagher brothers are known to enjoy a good old scrap, but Noel needs to pick his fights a bit more carefully.

When he decided to take the mickey out of ageing Grease star Jeff Conaway - aka Kenickie - the Oasis rocker had a knife pulled on him!

It all kicked off backstage at a Marilyn Manson concert in LA.

Noel and Liam were knocking back absinthe when they were interrupted by Jeff, waving his walking stick.

They should have sussed he was trouble - Jeff, 57, appeared raging in a wheelchair on US TV show Celebrity Rehab, battling addictions to cocaine and alcohol.

Instead they scoffed.

Noel tells Russell Brand's Radio 2 show: "Kenickie shouted, 'I've had four back operations, you know.' "So I said, 'So get yourself out of that wheelchair then!' "He said, 'I've had four operations but I can still pull a knife on you.' And he pulled out a big blade.

We thought: 'You're going down, Kenickie.'"

Faster than Greased Lightnin'!

Keith Richards Finds Oasis' Music 'Tinny'

London, March 3 (ANI): English rocker Keith Richards says that he does not like the kind of music modern bands compose.

Launching an attack on bands like Arctic Monkeys and Oasis, the Richards said that he prefers listening to country and blues genres.

The The Rolling Stones star insists that these are the genres that should be on vinyl.

I dont listen to whats going on. I dont like CDs, quite honestly. They sound tinny to me, British tabloid Daily Express quoted him as telling Uncut magazine in an interview about Shine A Light, Martin Scorseses documentary about the band.

Ive not even heard the Arctic Monkeys. I know of them but I dont know anything theyve done. I didnt like Oasis, I didnt like the Sex Pistols, I dont like any of those English rocknroll bands. Theyre all c***, the 64-year-old star said.

The report also suggested that Richards was not keeping track of his rocknroll contemporaries.

When he was asked to comment on the recent Led Zeppelin reunion concert, Richards said: They had one? Well, well done, Jimmy and Robert. (ANI)

Noel Gallagher To Appear In Russell Brand's Movie

His hit Booky Wook is being brought to beastly life on the big screen - and Russell Brand fancies Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe to take the lead role!

He thought the boy wizard actor could portray his life as a sex and drugs addict.

Russ told us: "I originally wanted to get an actor to play me and toyed with the idea of Daniel Radcliffe.

"But I thought he wouldn't be able to take all the drink.

"Or the drugs or fraternising with women. So I thought I should do it."

However Russ has got Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher on board - playing an insatiable homosexual!

We met up with the comic in Hollywood where he told us: "I'm coming back in the summer to do the filming.

"Noel Gallagher will be in there, playing a seedy homosexual. He'll be a sexually androgynous, amorphous character - it'll be mad.

"I was speaking to him about it yesterday, and hopefully it'll be great."

St Trinian's star Russell, 32, has told producer Michael Winterbottom - who made 24 Hour Party People - that he will stop at nothing to get Noel, Daniel, David Walliams and TV's Michael Palin.

Russ continued: "Michael has said really nice things about me so I'm hoping he'll play a character in it - a vindictive headmaster.

"David will be playing himself as my love rival.

We're told that Noel and David have provisionally agreed to appear but Michael and Daniel have yet to get aboard.

Russell, who is in LA working on a movie with Adam Sandler, said he had his casting couch ready. "I'm going to hand-pick the ladies," he said.

"It is difficult doing those sex scenes though - it's very awkward. I feel like I really ought to put on a gold medal display of sexual moves."

Sounds like he can't flop...

Oooh-asis!

Scared Liam's glow job

Singer Liam Gallagher has had glow tape put in his house - because he fears it is haunted.

The Oasis star, 35, has been having trouble sleeping in the dark.

And now the frontman, who once claimed he saw John Lennon's ghost, has splashed out on hi-tech light strips so he can see any ghouls roaming around.

The plush London pad he shares with wife Nicole Gallagher, 33 and their son Gene, six, is now illuminated by the funky strips used in casinos and discos.

A pal of the rock wildman told the Daily Star Sunday: "Liam has a bit of trouble sleeping because he's convinced his house is haunted.

Chill

"He's heard footsteps going up and down the stairs and sometimes feels a chill pass over his body in the night.

"He's been keeping the lights on but it's difficult to sleep in bright light and he doesn't want to look like a big girl's blouse so he's bought these funky light strips.

"The light is more then a glow than anything else.

"He's buzzing with them".

Oasis Adores Sveetheart Sven

Liam and Noel Gallagher G have done their first interview together in more than a year – praising new Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson for transforming their beloved team this season.

Liam said: “Sven’s a legend” while Bizarre Lord Noel added: “I think history will see he was a good manager for England and it was the players who weren’t up to standard.

“I love him, though. He’s a ladies’ man, isn’t he?”

Liam added: “I never thought I’d kiss his head but when I see him, I’m gonna kiss his bald little head.”

Noel said: “He looks like Mr Burns from The Simpsons. He’s a silver fox. He’s always in the papers, romping with some bird.” Liam chipped in: “He’s Swedish though. They’re always up to something.”

Liam, Noel and guitarist Gem Archer gave an interview to Sex Pistols’ legend Steve Jones on his show Jonesy’s Jukebox in LA on Thursday.

Noel added: “We’re mixing our new record. We recorded it in Abbey Road just before Christmas. We did two tracks in Abbey Road in ’97 but they kicked us out as we were a bit mental back then.

“We were in one of the studios listening back to one of the tunes and somebody who was mixing a classical record next door tapped on the studio and asked us to turn it down.

“There might have been swear words and the next thing was, ‘You can leave’ ” Liam said: “It’s been going slow because the gear keeps breaking.”

The equipment that is, not the marching powder. Noel has extended the band’s stay by three weeks as technical problems have delayed them.

But Liam added: “I’m rocking on it. I’m ’aving it.”

It’s a shame the A-Team have been in LA. The Brits and the NME Awards were crying out for their antics.
