Noel Gallagher Says Beyoncé, Rihanna And Madonna Have Nothing Of Interest To Say

Gobby Noel Gallagher claims singers such as Beyoncé, Rihanna and Madonna have nothing of interest to say.

The ex-Oasis star no longer buys music mags or reads interviews with musicians.

He said: “Ninety nine per cent of artists having nothing interesting to say. I don’t give a s*** what they have to say.

“If Morrissey is on the cover of a mag I will buy it as he has something to say – or Kanye West, because he is funny.”

Noel also claims no interviewer has ever asked him a decent question.

He said: “If I could interview myself I’d ask me: ‘Why am I so f***ing brilliant at what I do?’”

The singer-songwriter, 48, also dismissed rumours that he will reform Oasis with his estranged brother Liam, 42.

He said: “We don’t talk. He is not a nice person. For me it’s not worth getting back together. What would it take for us to reform? A hell of a lot of money.”

Outspoken Noel hasn’t been playing Oasis’s biggest hit Wonderwall on his current tour. But he claims he still likes the song, which he penned back in 1995.

He said: “I just don’t feel like playing it. I have no problem playing Oasis songs because – after all – I wrote them.”

But in a blast at Liam, who used to perform the track with his band Beady Eye, Noel said: “If I were Mick Jagger and I performed songs on stage on my own that I’d written together with Keith Richards then I’d feel a fraud.”

Asked if he thought Oasis fans should listen to his new music, he said: “No. I would never tell people to listen to my music. I don’t give a s*** what you’re listening to.”

Noel Gallagher Slams Rihanna's Entourage Army

Noel Gallagher has spoken out against Rihanna and her entourage, criticising the singer for courting a celebrity lifestyle and rinsing it for whatever she can get.

Gallagher was speaking at this year's GQ Awards, which were held in London last night (3 September, 2013), where he revealed his disgust at which the lengths fans and designers went to in order to reach the 'Diamonds' superstar, and how she embraces their gifts.

"I don't do rock star stuff. I don't wear sunglasses all the time - I tend to wear them when it's sunny," says Gallagher in an interview with GQ. "I don't have an entourage, and when I do it's pathetic. Never more than two people. "I was at a festival in Norway and Rihanna's just arrived with 100 people. Fucking small army. And I had to go into this room, which was all just racks of clothing and stuff that designers and punters had brought to give to Rihanna. And they all had these cards in front of them, saying: 'Dear Rihanna, we are such huge fans, please accept this $90,000 handbag from whoever and whoever'."

Gallagher also reveals that after seeing this, he took the opportunity to see how far the singer would go with gifts, and left a gift himself.

"I'm reading all these cards as I'm waiting to go in so I went back to my dressing room and got the little bowl of Cadbury's Sensations and left it there on her table with a card saying 'Dear Rihanna, please accept these chocolates on behalf of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds'. And she took them. She fucking took them."

Gallagher also hit out at fans who approached him when he was off duty from his High Flying Birds frontman role, and singled out fans who asked him to sign inappropriate items.

"If someone comes up to you in Selfridges while you're buying socks and pants, and gives you a tube ticket to sign... I have to say, 'I am not signing that'. It's the argumentative soul in me," he tells the magazine. "'Why not?' Well, what are you going to do with it? Are you going to put that tube ticket on a plinth at home? Come on. Go and get an album. I'll be in this section buying socks for the next 45 minutes. HMV is downstairs.

"You can be there and back in ten minutes. Do not make me sign the back of a fucking receipt from Boots."

Trainers Owned By Liam And Noel Gallagher To Go On Display In London

The trainer has been worn by hundreds of icons from the sporting elite, such as Mo Farah and Michael Jordan, to pop's finest, including The Spice Girls and Beyonce. Not just a simple exercise shoe, they can have hidden heels such as the Isabel Marant trainers Beyoncé wore in her Love On Top video or be a towering platorm, such as Jeffrey Campbell's rainbow coloured trainers. As we predicted this week they might well be the new heels as Rihanna was spotted wearing Nike Air Jordans with her bodycon dress and Chanel bag.

To celebrate the trainer Javari.co.uk has an exhibition 'Sneaking Into Fashion' from the 18-28 October in Covent Garden Piazza where they will have on display iconic pairs including the private collections from Brit pop Noel and Liam Gallagher and vintage Gucci 1980s tennis shoes. They also have Mo Farah's winning shoes from London 2012 and a pair of Vivienne Westwood trainers from her collaboration with The Sex Pistols manager Malcolm Maclaran.

Look out for the pair of Kanye West Yeezys bought at auction for a staggering $90,000. Yep, you heard us right, $90,000 for a pair of trainers.

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Sixty Eight

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Yes comrades.

So, the festival in Oslo was a bit weird. It took place at a ski-jumping . . . thing (not sure what the correct term is) . . . at the top of a mountain. Freezing cold and in thick fog. A bit miserable. That bird Rhianna was headlining. I'm told she had an entourage of 100 people!!! ONE HUNDRED!!!!! I've got (a quite pathetic) 11.

Not sure the young 'uns down the front appreciated a bit of the old rock 'n' folk. They didn't look too happy anyway. All that being said it was ANOTHER great gig! What's that now? 5 in a row? The record books are being ripped up here!

Back down the hill in the town there was what seemed like another festival of sorts going on in the park in the main square. A free one I think. I could hear it from my room. A bit cabaret. It sounded like a load of local bands doing covers. All good clean fun.

Anyway . . . after going for what was quite frankly the most APPALLING Chinese I think I've ever had I tried to get my head down. The town was a bit rowdy though. I think the free festival thing must've had a late licence. Funny thing is . . . at about 2am I was woken by the noise coming from the park. Over the PA and as clear as night I could hear someone doing an acoustic cover of "Don't Look Back In Anger"!!!! I kid you not (the bastards murdered it by the way!).

ONWARDS.

GD.

Noel Gallagher Leaves Rihanna A Message In Oslo

Below is a note Noel Gallagher left for Rihanna yesterday after he played at the Holmenkollen Sommerfestival in Oslo yesterday.

Oasis, The Beatles, Rihanna, Madonna And More Feature In The UK's Best Selling Singles Chart

The Beatles have held off artist such as Elvis Presley and Madonna to be declared the biggest selling UK singles act since charts began 60 years ago.

The Fab Four notched up 17 number ones during their relatively brief eight year chart domination, but split more than 40 years ago.

But performers whose careers have decades longer in some cases - such as Sir Cliff Richard - have failed to outsell them, a new Radio 2 chart reveals.

A countdown to be broadcast today of the all-time biggest sellers since the singles chart began in 1952 - the year the Queen took the throne - shows The Beatles are still unsurpassed.

Presley, who continued to have strong sales in the past decade thanks to a reissue campaign with tracks such as A Little Less Conversation, is ranked second.

Sir Cliff who has had 124 top 40 hits and 14 number ones finished in third place in the list compiled by the Official Charts Company.

Madonna, who has made the top 40 more than 60 times, is ranked fourth.

There are some surprising entries with Rihanna, who charted for the first time in only 2005 is in tenth place, yet The Rolling Stones - who racked up their first hit in 1963 - make it to only number 13. However, although the wrinkly rockers have continued to release singles over the years, they have failed to dent the top ten since 1981.

Tony Blackburn will count down the chart from 2pm to 5pm which shows US rapper Eminem (placed 18th) is ahead of enduring chart stars such as Sir Tom Jones and U2.

DJ and producer David Guetta (ranked 49) manages to finish ahead of big names such as Coldplay (60) and Duran Duran (51).

Sir Paul McCartney is listed twice for his Beatles years and his solo career (number 11), and George Michael is similarly in the chart twice, for his own hits (21) and as a member of Wham! (43).

Blackburn, who will play each artist's biggest hit in the Bank Holiday show , said: "This chart offers a fascinating look at the past 60 years in music and shows the impact that modern stars like Rihanna and Katy Perry have had.

"The list is really varied and will provide something for everyone. There are definitely a few surprises in store - Coldplay being at 60 for one! It is sure to be an interesting listen and will be a great way to spend the Bank Holiday afternoon."

Radio 2's head of music Jeff Smith said: "This list is intriguing, Adele is missing and we've all forgotten just how huge artists such as Shakin' Stevens, Boney M and UB40 were in the UK in the Seventies and Eighties."

01. Beatles
02. Elvis Presley

Noel Gallagher Soars With High Flying Birds

Given all the recent coverage of his run-in with Katie Holmes and various, life-altering ways, you may be unaware that Noel Gallagher, late of Oasis, has just released his first proper solo album, a rock-solid collection of tunes that run the gamut from psych-tinged burners ("[I Wanna Live in a Dream in My] Record Machine") to straight-ahead churners ("Everybody's on the Run"), with stops at just about every point in between.

VIDEO ONLY WORKS IN THE US

He's called the disc Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, a nod to both the first Fleetwood Mac album and a Jefferson Airplane song of (roughly) the same name, and so far, things are soaring. It's been greeted with glowing reviews, most of which seem to harp on the fact that the album represents "his best tunes in 15 years." Of course, in typical Gallagher fashion, he's not paying attention to any of it.

"I didn't read any of the reviews and think, 'Well, these people think I've been writing crap songs for the last 15 years.' I don't think of things like that," he told MTV News. "When I'm in the studio, I'm literally taking it song by song and then, you know, you get to the end of it. I got to say though, during the mixing of it, as each track was being finished, I was thinking, 'This does sound really good. ...'

"But I wouldn't like to compare it to anything Oasis did, because that's not fair," he continued. "We were a band and I was writing songs for someone else to sing, so you can't really compare the two. It's just a good record, what can I say?"

Humility was never his strong suit. Neither, apparently, was guitar playing. Because even though he slung the ax loud and often in Oasis, he never really considered himself to be a guitar player. Which is why, on High Flying Birds, he limited the showing off — there are, by unofficial count, just two solos on the whole album — and focused instead on doing what he loves best: writing killer tunes.

"I guess when guitarists make solo records, there's usually a lot of showing off. But I've been trying to convince for 20 years that I'm not a guitarist, I'm a songwriter. I played lead guitar in the band because everybody else, in the early days, was useless, so that kind of fell to me," he laughed. "But it's not something I ever thought I would put myself up there with John Squire or Johnny Marr or all those great British guitarists, that's not my thing. My thing was songwriting. I only noticed [the lack of solos] when a friend of mine was listening to the finished version, and it got to track six and he went, 'You know, that's the first guitar solo,' and I was like, 'Wow, someone's got an easy gig, doesn't he?' "

And since there's not going to be an Oasis reunion in the cards anytime soon, Gallagher is focused on promoting Birds both here and abroad. He's playing on just about every continent over the next six months and seems quite content to be doing nothing else. Especially attempting to figure out the machinations of the music industry of 2011 ... a plan he abandoned long ago, thanks in no small part to his daughter.

"She is into music, she's never mentioned Justin Bieber to me ... Lady Gaga's her thing, and Rihanna and, is it, Miley Cyrus? All that kind of thing," he said. "It's kind of a rule, she's got to like Oasis and her old fella, so she's into that side of it. But her teenage rock years will come [and], no doubt, she'll be into f---ing Nickelback as well."

Rihanna Covers Oasis' Wonderwall

Rihanna performed in Zurich Monday night for her Last Girl On Earth tour, and much is being made of the fact that she was rushed to the hospital directly after due to a minor rib injury (she’s okay, and has since been carrying on with her tour).

One thing that has been overlooked is that earlier in the night recently dethroned chart queen RiRi decided to channel the Gallagher brothers by covering Oasis’ “Wonderwall” during her Swiss set. Catch Rihanna leading the audience in a sing-along to the classic tune after the jump.

Rihanna's 'Umbrella' Voted Decade's Best Song

R&B singer Rihanna has beaten off competition from stars like Madonna and Britney Spears after her track 'Umbrella' has been voted the best of the decade in a new survey.

The 21-year-old has admitted she's wracked with nerves as she prepares for a show in London next week which will be her first solo concert since the violent bust-up with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in February this year, Contactmusic reported.

But the pop star will be pleased to know that her British fans have picked her song and music video for 'Umbrella' as the best of the last 10 years, according to a survey by BT media.

Second on the list was 'All The Things She Said' by Russian duo t.A.T.u followed by Avril Lavigne's 'Sk8er Boi'.

Pop princess Spears was placed fourth for her hit single 'Everytime' while rock band Oasis bagged the fifth position for their track 'The Importance Of Being Idle'.

British songwriter, actor Will Young was ranked sixth for 'Leave Right Now' followed by 'Hot and cold' by Katy Perry.

Troubled star Amy Winehouse raced ahead of Madonna as she bagged the eight position for her song 'Back To Black' while Material Girl's 'Hung up' ranked ninth. The tenth on the list was Kylie Minogue and her song 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'.
