Noel Gallagher Denies Being Russell Brand's Best Man

Noel Gallagher is set to head into the studio "this week" (beginning August 16) to record drums for another unnamed musician, he has confirmed.

The former Oasis guitarist revealed his plans in an interview with Talksport.

Gallagher wouldn't say who the mystery musician he is teaming up with is, though he did admit that it's someone he has "thrown up" with in the past.

Elsewhere in the interview, Gallagher denied he is to be Russell Brand's best man, though he did say he's going on the comedian's stag do ahead of his wedding to singer Katy Perry this winter.

Noel Gallagher And Paul Weller Catch Up At Starbucks

Starbucks may be the most ubiquitous coffee chain on the high street.

But for these two icons of popular music, a greasy spoon is more than adequate for catching up on each others news.

Oasis star Noel Gallagher, 43, enjoyed a brew with Paul Weller aka The Modfather, 52, at a cafe in West London.

Chilling: Two of the music world's most famous artists, enjoyed a quiet cuppa at a greasy spoon in West London today

Looking like an ordinary pair of middle-aged men, albeit with a penchant for youthful clothes, the pair were seen deep in conversation outside the neighbourhood cafe.

No fancy lattes or double macchiatos for these two, just a couple of cuppas, as they enjoyed a friendly chat.

The millionaire musicians sat outside at the pavement side tables in front of the cafe's windows which were plastered with signs advertising the cafe staple 'All Day Breakfast' at the bargain price of just £4.95.

Weller, amazingly, has managed to stay friends with both Gallagher brothers, despite Noel and Liam's well-publicised fall-out last year which resulted in him leaving the band.

Music icons: Noel and Weller have known each other for 12 years... and the Modfather is also friendly with Noel's estranged brother Liam

Weller has enjoyed a 12-year friendship with the father of two. He is also expecting a third child, his second with wife Sara McDonald.

And he has recently signed on to design clothing for Liam's fashion label Pretty Green.

Noel has said of the former Jam frontman: 'I guess Weller’s my oldest friend... I’ve known him for about 12 years”, said the guitarist.

'There’s an unwritten law that I never go out with Paul Weller, he’s a nightmare.

'He’s hardcore – if you go out with him, if you come home at all, there’s bumps and bruises. There’s been scuffles in the street and you’ve probably fallen out with him.'

Last year Noel quit Oasis after a fight with his brother and lead vocalist of Oasis, Liam Gallagher.

He posted a statement on the band's website that read: 'It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight.

'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.'

The remaining members of Oasis have formed a band together called Beady Eye.

On This Day In Oasis History...

Below are a few videos from August 13th 2005, when Oasis played at the Summersonic Festival in Osaka, Japan.

Liam Gallagher Meets The Princess Of Denmark (VIDEO)

Liam Gallagher meets the Crown Princess Mary of Denmark at the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair.

Princess Mary Of Denmark Has Her Beady Eye On Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green

Class and elegance are not two words we would usually associate with Liam Gallagher, but earlier today the former Oasis frontman had to muster up as much of those two traits as possible (if indeed that even is possible) when he met Crown Princess Mary of Denmark at the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair where he was promoting his clothing label Pretty Green.

Considering Liam tends to swear pretty much every other word, we’re almost certain he must’ve said something vile/crude/offensive/derogatory to Crown Princess Mary at least once during the course of their conversation.

But if he did, Mary certainly didn’t let the surprise show in her face – cos she’s a true pro and that’s what royals do - or so we hear.

P.s. Why are our royals so fug in comparison to the Danes’? Watch the video here

Noel Gallagher Features In New Manchester City Magazine

As predicted last month here on How-Do, Manchester City FC has binned its former supporters' magazine - named City Mag - and emerged with a new, bigger, bolder and more expensive title for the new season. The name, as previously intimated, has been changed to ManC.

Issue one of the new look title is out now. With 100 pages it easily outweighs City Mag’s pagination of 68, but also costs an extra pound (on sale for £3.50).

However, this, as the club stresses on its site, “is purely for production costs.”

Explaining more, David Clayton, the magazine’s editor, writes: “Virtually every feature is new and the interviews are longer and more substantial.

“This is a club magazine like no other - City fans have always loved their fashion, music and Mancunian culture and ManC captures the spirit of both the City and Manchester.”

In a nod to this objective, the first issue features not just interviews and features with players, but also pieces with Noel Gallagher, a Stone Roses feature and a chance to win Muse tickets.

The title is available to subscribers and is on sale now around the City of Manchester stadium and at open training sessions.

City has said that demand is “already high” for issue one.
