Celebrity Predictions For 2009

The global economy is on its knees, the war in Iraq is still raging, and global warming is apparently getting worse. Hardly the best way to start off a new year, is it?

But death and destruction has never had too much of an impact on the showbiz world - that is, unless the California wildfires suddenly send the Hollywood Hills up in flames (God forbid).

Nothing would be more shocking than seeing Amy Winehouse ‘do a Britney’ and chop off her trademark beehive in a drink-and-drug fuelled night of disaster. Or squeaky-clean Miley Cyrus getting caught up in a sex tape scandal...
But what does 2009 really hold for our favourite celebrities?

We've called on the expertise of our resident psychic Joe Power for his take on all things celebrity for the next 12 months. And we've teamed up with British bookies William Hill to get the odds on a host of potential starry situations in case you decide to take a dive and put your money where our mouth is.

NOEL AND LIAM GALLAGHER

Rock wildmen Noel and Liam Gallagher have been at the forefront of rock n’ roll for the last decade, but their brotherly love has, at times, torn the Oasis members apart - and it now threatens to do so for good. That is, at least, according to Power’s psychic interpretations.

Noel Gallagher recently revealed his solo compositions are nothing short of “masterpieces” - so could he be preparing to step into the limelight on his own? He even admitted he still blames Liam for the band failing to crack the American market back in 1996 with their hit album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - grumbling that Oasis missed out on millions in potential earnings because of his brother’s last minute cancellation.

The older Gallagher brother said: “I still blame him for the fact that we never cracked the U.S. When we had one of the biggest selling albums in the world, and were about to begin a crucial U.S. tour, he arrived at the airport, gave some ludicrous excuse that he couldn't get on the plane, and left us stranded."

And after that horrific stage invasion in September (08) which left Noel nursing three broken and dislodged ribs, Power reckons the Gallagher brothers will call it quits after they complete their summer (09) tour.

So, 17 years, seven studio albums and three Grammy nominations later, are the Wonderwall hitmakers ready to leave it all behind? The odds are certainly decent if you fancy a flutter on these Mancunians going their separate ways.

William Hill odds: 8/1 that Oasis will announce their break-up.

Other odds

12/1 Justin Timberlake gets married
3/1 Ricky Martin 'comes out’
3/1 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopt again; 5/1 they have another biological child
33/1 Leona Lewis ditches her electrician boyfriend for rap superstar Kanye West
16/1 Miley Cyrus gets caught up in a sex tape scandal
6/1 Newlywed Beyonce Knowles becomes pregnant
25/1 Victoria Beckham adopts a baby girl from Africa
16/1 Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith separate
50/1 Nick Jonas gets busted in U.S.

Taylor Hatches Masterplan For Success

The description of darts as the “new rock'n'roll” could be sealed tonight when Oasis swap stage for oche. Phil Taylor claimed last night that Noel Gallagher and his brother, Liam, are likely to watch from the sidelines as he does battle against Mervyn King in the Ladbrokes.com PDC World Championship semi-final. Sugababes are also expected to be in attendance.

Some might say that Taylor has been left looking back in anger at his exits in this tournament in the past two years. He is determined to take the crown for the fourteenth occasion, illustrated by the way he demolished Co Stompe, the Dutchman, 5-0 in the quarter-final on Thursday. “I am told [the Gallaghers] will be here to see me and you have to roll with it,” Taylor said. “I have not met them, but I know they like the darts.”

Quite what Robbie Williams, who allowed Taylor, his friend, to practise at his mansion in Los Angeles in the summer, makes of it is not known. Williams and the Gallaghers had a public falling-out. “Robbie will beat me up,” Taylor said. “I hope they are mates now.” A war of words erupted between King and Taylor after King suggested that he was as good, on top form, as his opponent. King, the No12 seed, has defeated Taylor twice this season. “I want Taylor,” he said. “I have the game inside me to beat him. I want to beat him on television.”

Tom Clarke: “Noel Gallagher Is My Hero Of The Year"

The Enemy are ready to rock 2009 with an album they claim is the dog’s proverbials.

The plucky trio have been given a huge shot of confidence after being hand-picked by Noel Gallagher, 41, to support Oasis on their Wembley Stadium gigs in the summer.

And the Coventry rockers say the follow-up to No 1 disc We’ll Live And Die In These Towns will bear the hallmarks of the Gallagher brothers’ big, brash sound.

Excited frontman Tom Clarke, 20, told me: “We are absolutely buzzing.

“We know we are making something good so there’s no need for second album nerves.

“Everyone from Oasis to The Verve, and some much heavier stuff, has inspired us.

“Just imagine the first record has grown a set of bollocks and has got some stubble.

“It’s more worldly and the tunes have more depth. We wanted it to sound huge.

“Our drummer is a tiny person who makes a massive sound and we wanted to capture that.

“It’s hard to do that on CD so we’re recording onto good, old-fashioned tape ’cos it sounds bigger and better.”

Tom – along with drummer Liam Watts, 21, and bassist Andy Hopkins, 20 – will release the as-yet-untitled disc in time for the Oasis support shows in July.

Despite being so young, the lads are not quaking in their adidas at the thought of playing with the Britpop legends.

Tom explained: “Noel Gallagher is my hero of the year for asking us to support him.

“Everyone expects us to be nervous but the bigger the event, the bigger the thrill.

“Nerves don’t come into it. You get a massive shot of adrenaline – that’s the pay-off.

“We’re going to go on, play our gig, get our rush of adrenaline and then go watch Oasis and Kasabian – what a sh*t job!”

Happy New Year

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our visitors a Happy New Year!

Liam Gallagher Praises New Oasis Drummer

Liam Gallagher has praised Oasis's new drummer Chris Sharrock for his drinking capabilities.

Gallagher said that he admires Sharrock, Oasis's fourth drummer, for drinking Stella and not being a "lightweight".

"It was cool when we went out the other night," the frontman is quoted as saying. "Chris didn't chew me ear off, he let me speak. He drinks Stella and he's not a f**king lightweight. He can handle his beverages and he can play the drums."

Gallagher added that he does not care about Sharrock's previous attachment to Robbie Williams's live band.

"F**k the Robbie Williams thing," he said. "F**k Robbie. Chris was the only thing that was good about that clown."

It's The Bizarre Awards 2008

Shove the Baftas, Brits, and Grammys, the only gongs that matter are the, er, Bizarre Awards.

Just ask Coldplay, who won Best Rock Band.

Take That, Oasis, Girls Aloud and Jo Wood were also among the winners

Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Gary Barlow were crowned the new Bizarre Lords.

The lads deserve the honour after another triumphant year.

And Sarah Harding was delighted with Girls Aloud's Best Pop award.

They keep getting better — and I’m not just talking about the music.

Album Of The Year was easy — Kings Of Leon produced rock ’n’ roll gold with Only By The Night and one million copies have been shifted in the UK.

Drummer Nathan Followill said: “Thanks to everyone for buying our record, man.”

And Best Single went to the X Factor Finalists for Hero.

Anyone who went to see Oasis on tour this year will agree there is still nothing to compare to the Gallagher firm.

Accepting Best Live Act, Noel said: “Respect to The Super Soaraway Sun — Britain’s No1 for making Oasis the best live band.”

Best TV Show goes to Gavin & Stacey with Ruth Jones the Best Actress for playing Ness.

Mat Horne and James Corden picked up the show’s award on Christmas Eve.

Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla is Best Film for a return to the magic of Lock Stock and Snatch.

Toby Kebbell, who played the lead, wins Best Actor.

Jo Wood is named Lady Of Bizarre.

Her half-wit hubby Ronnie has left her for a Camden tart but Jo has been larging it. A true Lady Of Bizarre.

Best Newcomers, Danish group Alphabeat, have brought a smile to our faces with their pop gems.

Sadly, the famous Bizarre Caner and Bizarre Shagger prizes were snubbed by the winners this year.

Welsh scarecrow Rhys Ifans, said of the Caner award: “It’s not what I want to be winning.”

Really Rhys? I wasn’t aware your mantelpiece was heaving with “honourable” silverware.

Russell Brand scooped Shagger Of The Year for the third consecutive year.

He was “too busy” to pick it up but the gong is still renamed The Russell Brand Shagger Of The Year Award.

Who’d have thought Russ agreed with the festive phrase, “It’s better to give than to receive . . .”

Elbow Named Critics's Album Of Year

Rock band Elbow have rounded off a breakthrough year with their album topping an annual "poll of polls" list.

Their Nationwide Mercury Prize-winning record The Seldom Seen Kid came out top in the eighth such chart, which combines the choices of critics.

The HMV Poll of Polls is collated each December, adding up album of the year nominations from music writers across specialist press, national media and online sites.

The top 50 list is headed by the music writers' overall choice of album of the year.

Previous winners include Daft Punk, OutKast, Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem.

The Seldom Seen Kid pulled the most nominations across 35 publications, sites and organisations polled.

Elbow's triumph followed a close run with Portishead's long-awaited comeback album Third.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Dig Lazarus, Dig was third, while debut albums from Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend completed the top five.

HMV's Rock & Pop Buyer, Damian Evans said: "The poll reflects an excellent, eclectic year in music with some exciting new artists featuring prominently.

"Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend, MGMT and Bon Iver have really made their mark with wonderful debut albums, underlining how vibrant the music scene is right now.

"Established artists such as Portishead, Nick Cave and Metallica have also returned to great acclaim, although I suspect few people would dispute that Elbow have given us the album of the year.

"They were popular winners of the Nationwide Mercury Prize, and they now deservedly top the HMV Poll of Polls as well."

This year's poll also showed big hitters like Coldplay and Oasis at 34 and 39 respectively, while Killers were at 48.

Duffy, whose Rockferry album has been the year's runaway biggest seller, with 1.5 million copies sold according to Official Charts company data, sat way down the poll at number 28.

What Noel Gallagher Wanted For Christmas

The Oasis lead guitarist dumped his holiday wishes on rollingstone.com recently.

"I'd like an iPhone, a laptop, a new haircut and a Christmas card that didn't say (bleeping) "Noel" on the front. That would be (bleeping) nice. Just one year. I always get this (bleep), right. And people go, "Did you get my card?". And you go "I dunno, which one was that?". "Oh, you must've seen it. It had Noel written on the front". "Really, and how many of those cards do you think I get?" That's right. All of them..."Oh, there's a card with my name on it, brilliant! That's from my parents. I'll thank them again for that. (Bleeping) pair of idiots".
