Tony Blair
Louise Mensch, the former Conservative politician, has claimed that he she once dated Noel Gallagher.
Mensch, who was Tory MP for Corby from 2010 to 2012, recently made the claims in a Twitter post, telling one of her followers: "It['s] probably going to kill you when I tell you I went out with Noel for a couple of months".
Before becoming a MP, Mensch (previously Louise Bagshawe) worked in the music industry as a PR and in marketing. She is currently married to Metallica and Muse's manager Peter Mensch.
Mensch joined the Labour Party in 1996 before rejoining the Tories a year later. In a recent tweet, she appeared to suggest that Oasis guitarist Gallagher was an influence on her brief shift of allegiance.
Noel Gallagher famously backed Tony Blair ahead of the 1997 General Election, later saying: "It was a great time in history. The grip of Thatcherism was being smashed. New Labour had been brilliant in opposition. When Tony Blair spoke, his words seemed to speak to people, young people. Call me naive but I felt something – I’m not quite sure what it was, but I felt it all the same."
NME has approached Louise Mensch to clarify her tweets.

Weezer
In an exclusive interview with theMusic.com.au this week, Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher confimed rumours he was penning a song with The Jam's Paul Weller, for an upcoming Monkees record.
Gallagher told us, "Yeah, they asked me to write a song and as luck would have it, I happened to have half a song lying around that I’d been writing with Paul Weller over the last couple of months and we sent it to them and they like it and we’ve now gotta go and finish it off, but we didn’t expect them to go and tell fucking the whole world that it was happening because now we have to finish it off."
The record, reportedly titled Good Times!, is due for release on 10 June to coincide with The Monkees' 50th anniversary. All three surviving members, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork, are involved.
"I hope the second half’s as good as the first half. But me and Paul are very busy dudes. We’re all-conquering, ageing mods and, you know, it’s fucking hard to find the time sometimes," Gallagher continued.
NME reports that Weezer's Rivers Cuomo and Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard have also been writing for the project, making the record a collaboration between a slew of enigmatic frontmen. Cuomo's song is rumoured to be titled She Makes Me Laugh, while Gibbard is said to have written a track called Me & Magdalena.

Weezer
Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller have been reportedly working on a new song for The Monkees’ 50th anniversary album, Good Times.
The band recently confirmed that they will be releasing their first album in 20 years. Justus was their last album, released in 1996.
Weezer’s River Cuomo and Death Cab For a Cutie’s Ben Gibbard will appear on the record. Cuomo’s track will be called ‘She Makes Me Laugh’, whilst Gibbard’s track is called ‘Me & Magdalena’.
No more details are yet known about the Gallagher / Weller collaboration for the album, but we hope it’s true.
Good Times will also feature a handful of songs that were written for the Monkees in the 60s that they did not release, including Neil Diamonds ‘Love to Love’, Boyce and Hart’s ‘Whatever’s Right’ and Carole Kng’s ‘Wasn’t Born To Follow’.
The group reformed after a decade-long hiatus in 2011 for a 45th anniversary tour that featured a three-man line up of Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Davy Jones. Jones died of a sudden heart attack the following year, leaving Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork as the only two remaining members.

"Go Let It Out" is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher.
It was released on February 7th 2000 as the first single from the fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The song peaked at #1 in the UK charts where it went Silver.
The lyrics are a similar vein to "Roll With It" in that it encourages the listener to get on with their life without being specific about how this is to be achieved. The song samples the drums from Johnny Jenkins' version of Dr John's "I Walk on Gilded Splinters". The title may be a reference to the line in "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, "So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin". Noel described the song as "the closest we came to sounding like a modern day Beatles" in the 'Lock the Box' interview found on the DVD in the special edition of Stop the Clocks.
The song, along with B-side "(As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes in Hell", also embodies the psychedelic feel which the band experimented with on the album. It couples this with an acoustic guitar chord sequence. "Let's All Make Believe", the second B-Side is considered by many to be one of the best Oasis B-sides. Some people believe the lyrics of this song to relate to the cracks that began forming in the group at the time (see below), for example: "So let's all make believe/that we're still friends and we like each other."
Due to the departure of guitarist Bonehead and bassist Guigsy in the early recording sessions for Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, the track features only Liam Gallagher (vocals), Noel Gallagher (rhythm guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar) and Alan White (drums).
Oasis were looking for replacements for founding members Bonehead and Guigsy and while Bonehead was quickly replaced with fellow Creation signing and former Heavy Stereo frontman Gem Archer, Guigsy proved harder to replace. Thus the trippy video for "Go Let It Out" had to be filmed with Noel on bass, Archer in Noel's role as lead guitarist and Liam in Archer's role as rhythm guitarist.
The b-side "Let's All Make Believe" has recently been included in several lists as a 'hidden gem', such as Q magazine placing it at number one on its list of '500 best lost tracks' and at 4 on its 'list of songs to download this month - January 2006.' Q magazine said in the description 'If Standing on the Shoulder of Giants had contained this track, it would have probably got another star'.
In the "lock the box" interview, Noel considers "Go Let It Out" to be "head and shoulders" above any other songs he had written during this time, and its "up there with some of the best things I've ever done."
"Go Let It Out" is included on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks, and is the only song from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants on that album.
