Russell Brand
Russell Brand celebrated his final days of freedom last night during his stag party but instead of thinking of an original plan he merely had dinner at the pub before heading to Stringfellows.
Jonathan Ross, Noel Gallagher, Guy Ritchie and The Libertines’ Carl Barat were among his guests and even Peter Stringfellow himself showed up to wish Brand all the best.
The lads started their day with watching his team-of-choice West Ham United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Upton Park along with David Walliams, Noel Gallagher and David Baddiel.
The 35-year-old and his pals then carried on to the York and Albany gastro pub in Regents Park and stayed there for several hours eating and drinking.
Once the boys had satisfied their cravings at the pub, they moved onto Peter Stringfellow’s Angels table dancing club in central London, where they were greeted personally by Mr Stringfellow
After doing what boys do at the club, they finally left at 1:45am and returned to their north London hotel.
But they didn’t just jump in any old taxi, the group had hired a special bus that they could all ride, which took them back to the hotel to end the night.
Carl Barat was said to be in the worst shape by the end of the night, but soon-to-be married Brand actually looked quite sombre considering it was his do.
Brand clearly enjoyed his party though and later tweeted: ‘Wes Ham beat Spurs and [Peter] Stringfellow just told me to ‘do what you like’; truly I am the Duke of Essex.’
The British comedian hid under a pair of large aviator sunglasses and sported his usual skinny black jeans, leather jacket and a silver boots.
While his former BBC pal Jonathan Ross decided to dress formally for the occasion in a grey tweed suit.
Brand’s party followed his fiancée Katy Perry’s recent hen party which was thrown by Rihanna.
The Teenage Dream singer decided to have her bash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where she arrived in a stretch Hummer Limo and was joined by 25 friends for the event.

Brian Cannon
Oasis
Unbridled access to two of the country's biggest bands, a work ethic unmatched and a walk-the-walk rock 'n' roll attitude, Brian Cannon acted as Artistic Director for a number of projects with both Oasis and The Verve. He has also created work for a number of world-wide brands such as Converse and Levi's®. His company, Microdot, has just celebrated its twenty-year anniversary at the forefront of British Rock 'n' Roll. To celebrate Brian's work and his achievements, Zani some questions to Brian.
ZANI - How did you get involved with Oasis?
Brian Cannon - Noel asked me to do the Oasis artwork after he saw the early Verve sleeves.
ZANI - What was your impression of Creation Records?
Brian Cannon - Creation was a one off, coupled with the fact that I was working with Oasis, I have never had so much creative freedom with a label. They just let me get on with it and then paid the bills... couldn’t fault them really.
ZANI - Some of the covers you did including the Oasis single Some Might Say relayed the lyrics to the song within the artwork. Do you always listen to a song before you decide on the angle of the work, or do you just get ideas?
Brian Cannon - I find it astonishing that people actually design covers before, or not even listening to, the record at all. I think it’s impossible to do a good job that way. I am charged with the responsibility of ‘dressing’ a piece of music so I ALWAYS listened to the track(s) as much as possible and got my head around the lyrics too.
ZANI - You toured with Oasis back in 1993 for 12 months, just before they took off. It must have been something special to be “in the eye of the hurricane”: what can you remember from the period...if anything?
Brian Cannon - I remember it being very exciting. The band themselves were absolutely bang into it. I can’t stand po-faced bands who think the world owes them a living and that rock 'n' roll lifestyle is the norm. Bonehead used to be a plasterer before the band took off and he, more than the rest, never forgot what he might otherwise be doing: it was a full on fun time.
- Is it true that you and Liam once offered out a whole pub?
Brian Cannon - I can’t confirm that either way, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
ZANI - You were there during the short, but hectic, recording session for (What The Story) Morning Glory?, in which (rumour has it) Noel hit Liam with a cricket bat after he brought back the whole pub to the studio. Is it true that you locked yourself in your room as all hell broke loose?
Brian Cannon - Totally. It was between the two of them and there was NOTHING anyone could do to diffuse the situation. I just went to my room, had a beer and waited for the whole thing to die down.
ZANI - Tell me about the shoot for the Wonderwall cover – wasn’t the girl in the picture-frame an employee from Creation?
Brian Cannon - We originally shot the sleeve with Liam depicted through the frame (an idea I nicked from the paintings of Belgian surrealist painter, Rene Magritte). Mid-shoot, and I am totally serious about this, Noel just happened to be passing in a taxi. I mean, talk about a coincidence. We were shooting on Primrose Hill, London, and Noel Gallagher by chance drove past.. He obviously did not get the message I had sent to his manager about the session. The taxi screeched to a halt, and, much to everyone’s amazement, an irate Noel jumped out, called a halt to the proceedings stating that it had to be a girl in the shot. This totally put me on the back foot as the artwork was due to be delivered in a few days. Primrose Hill was a few hundred yards from the Creation Records office at the time; we called upon Anita Heryet who worked there, and that’s how she became the cover star.
ZANI - Do you think it’s fair to say you held the sixth Oasis member tag for a while? Weren’t you also part of the group that added hand claps to All Around The World at Air Studios?
Brian Cannon - I dunno about the sixth member thing, but I was part of the ‘inner circle’. You have to understand, I had known them before they were massive and when they finally became big many people tried to befriend them and leak stories to the press. They knew myself and all the Microdot guys could be trusted. Liam would turn up at my flat in Camden at tea time on a Friday night and get hammered all weekend with us lot knowing that nothing would appear in the papers. I did do handclaps on All Around The World, and I also played keyboards on the title track to What’s The Story? A little known fact.
ZANI - Was that a “pinch me” moment?
Brian Cannon - The whole Oasis thing was a pinch me moment.
ZANI - Would you mind sharing the story of when you and Dave Halliwell pitched the one-off 199magazine to a certain publisher? (Only if you want to of course, I read about it on your Facebook page, it sounds funny)
Brian Cannon - I pitched the idea of an official Oasis magazine to Noel and Oasis manager Marcus Russell as a counter to all the garbage that was being written in the press about them at the time. They gave me the green light to publish it. I was Editor and Art Director on the project, Dave Halliwell (who was The Verve’s first manager) was Business Manager. The magazine industry works on the following premise – you only get paid once a magazine has physically sold over the counter and then you can only expect 50 per cent of the cover price. We had a cover price of £3.50 and managed to convince the Virgin Megastore Group to take the mag on an exclusive basis if they gave us £3 per copy and paid us upfront... Dave and I left the meeting at their office with a cheque for 30 grand and we hadn’t even had the magazines printed by then...

Brandon Flowers
Oasis
The Killers
He speaks highly of Noel and Liam...
The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has paid tribute to Oasis, who split last year.
The singer told Shortlist magazine the Manchester band didn't need to reform because “they've already left their mark”.
Flowers also said he had been “lucky” when meeting Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher in the past.
“They've made some good music so that's good enough for me,” Flowers replied when asked if he hoped the band would ever reform.
“I've met [Noel and Liam] and they've been kind to me. I'm one of the lucky ones.”
Flowers is currently promoting his debut solo album 'Flamingo', which topped the UK album chart earlier this month.

Little By Little
"Little by Little" is a song by British rock band Oasis, first released as the sixth track on their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. On September 22nd 2002, it was released with "She Is Love" as the first (and, so far, only) double A-sided single by the band, peaking at #2 in the UK Singles Chart Noel Gallagher provides lead vocals on both tracks, which he also wrote.
"Little by Little" was perhaps the most controversial song on the album, receiving mixed reviews from those who felt it was a classic example of an upbeat Oasis anthem and those who felt it was a twee, patronising, sycophantic melody. Regardless of this, the song managed to peak at number two in the UK charts based largely on the publicity garnered by the song.
The promo video to the song featured a guest role by Robert Carlyle. The cover art for the single is an homage to Robert Indiana's LOVE artwork.
She Is Love
"She Is Love" is a song by British rock band Oasis, first released as the ninth track on their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. In September 2002, it was released with "Little by Little" as the first double A-sided single by the band, peaking at #2 in the UK Singles Chart. The song was written about Noel Gallagher's girlfriend Sara McDonald and is a light, acoustic song about being in love.
Gallagher claims it was written in the Buckingham Gate Hotel in London, and that it took 30 minutes to complete. The band commissioned British fashion art director Rachel Thomas to make a promo video for the song. However, the resulting film, a mix of animation and live action, has never been released on any format.
