Liam Gallagher To Move To Paris Before He's 50

No comments

Liam Gallagher is moving to Paris, where he plans to “rock” a beret.

The former Oasis rocker, 45, tells me he and girlfriend Debbie Gwyther, 35, have eyed up properties and plan to be there by the time he is 50.

He says: “I’m definitely moving to Paris. By the time I am 50 I am going to live in Paris.

"I f****** love it. I love the buildings. I will rock a beret easy, I’ll rock the onions as well and a stripy thing and a wonky bike with a baguette on my arm. I’ll rock that.

“We love it and Debbie speaks French so she can do all the ordering. I’ve done everything and you think ‘What goals have I got left?’.”

We caught up at the Q Awards this week, where Liam picked up two gongs, including the Icon Award, before partying until 5am.

And he had a few choice words for X Factor boss Simon Cowell , saying: “I have had enough of Cowell.

“You’ve got these pop stars who make millions and none of them can f****** sing. I’m not having it... that needs taking off the air.”

Liam Gallagher On Adele, Ed Sheeran And Harry Styles

No comments

The ever-humble Liam Gallagher says his new solo album is going to right all the wrongs caused by pop giants Adele and Ed Sheeran.

The former Oasis frontman is finishing up work on As You Were, his first-ever solo album and his return to music following his split with Beady Eye back in October 2014.

Liam is his usual swaggering self, promoting the record in an ES Magazine, in which he modestly describes himself as the cure for all of rock music's current ills.

"As far as I'm concerned, whether this album's a success or not, some c**t has to counteract the bullshit. 'And I'm that f**king man," he insisted. "Whether it's Adele or Ed Sheeran — I'm not arsed about them — but half of these bands that call themselves guitar bands, they're in that mob too. They're just running amok.

"These c***s are just getting away with murder: you can't tell a guitar band from a pop band these days. No one's cranking it up and having a bit of aggro.

"They're all going to the same parties, they're all f**king hanging out, they're all drinking from the same cup, they're all eating at the same f**king restaurants, and, dare I say it, they all look the same, and dress the same. Someone needs to counteract that. And I'm here to do that."

A dislike of Ed Sheeran could well be a bonding moment for Liam and his brother, with Noel Gallagher having previously had a go at the 'Thinking Out Loud' singer too. Ah, brotherly bonding!

Liam isn't down on all popstars — it seems he actually has some affection for Harry Styles now that the 23-year-old is breaking away from the Simon Cowell-created One Direction.

"I wouldn't buy [his single 'Sign of the Times'], but it's interesting. Imagine what it's like for him," Liam said. "He's got a big f**king weight on his shoulders, and he's only f**king young.

"He's probably thinking this One Direction thing ain't for me. People change, so if he wants to do a bit of that, good luck to him."

Maybe our Liam is turning into a softy in his advanced years, after all! His full interview appears in this week's issue of ES Magazine, out on Thursday (May 25, 2017).

Noel Gallagher On Losing His Phone In A Taxi

No comments

The former Oasis star panicked after realising he had left his mobile in a taxi after Wednesday’s BRIT Awards.

And its contents could land him in trouble.

Arriving at the Sony after party, Noel said: “I’ve lost my f****ing phone, I have tried calling it and it’s actually gone. I have no idea where it is!

“I better find it because of all the f****ing porn on it, don’t want that to get out and splashed everywhere. I can’t have that out, it will ruin my image of being an innocent, wholesome pop star.”

Noel innocent? Ha!

The rocker then made a not-too-subtle reference to the recent expose of David Beckham’s emails, revealing his desperation to become a Sir.

Noel quipped: “I can kiss goodbye to my knighthood, that won’t happen after someone picks up my phone.”

Becks obviously has Noel’s full support as later he partied with his eldest son Brooklyn, left, who is nursing a broken collarbone.

Still on the lemonade – well he is 17 – Brooklyn is close pals with his daughter Anais but Noel keeps an eye on him.

Noel also partied with Simon Cowell, who once offered him £2million to become a judge on The X Factor.

Things could have been awkward when the guitarist bumped into Ed Sheeran at the Warner party later, after criticising his brand of “polished pop”.

But, instead, the duo shared a Ciroc Vodka together.

After all Anais is a fan of Ed too!

The former Oasis frontman has commented on the company his estranged sibling kept at the BRIT Awards.

Liam Gallagher has had a sly dig at his brother Noel after the BRIT Awards on Wednesday (22 February).

After his estranged sibling was pictured with Simon Cowell, the Supersonic rocker took to Twitter to post the image alongside the words: "Nuff Said".

It follows the tease of his return earlier this week, where he issued a warning to his brother's fans, saying they were "gonna have nowhere to run or hide".

Richard Ashcroft Is Open To Working With Noel Gallagher

No comments












The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft has suggested that he would be open to working with Noel Gallagher, telling NME in a new interview: "in the future who knows what might happen".

Ashcroft speaks to NME in an exclusive cover feature in this week's magazine (available now, free in the UK).

Ahead of releasing new album 'These People' on May 14, Ashcroft bemoaned the current state of the music industry, saying that he's "got no faith in it whatsoever".

He continued: "It’s sold itself up the river, stabbed people in the back instead of trying to create a good, solid British music alternative. Turn left for Cowell, turn right for this. The mainstream consumed our culture."

"You can get as many songwriters in a room as you want for your new talent show contest winner, it’s never gonna sound like a great Noel Gallagher song sung by Liam, it’s never gonna reach ‘Live Forever’, it’s never gonna be [Verve song] ‘Lucky Man’. We know that."

Last year, Noel Gallagher said he’d be interested in making an album with Ashcroft.

Asked whether he would work with Gallagher, Ashcroft replied: "It’s a great compliment for Noel to say something like that, and in the future who knows what might happen. I wish things like this would’ve happened years ago."

Ashcroft went on to speak of his fondness for his Britpop peers, saying: "Even the guys we had a bit of friction with, I look back and wish them luck. If I hear [Pulp frontman] Jarvis Cocker on the radio it gives me a good feeling. He’s waving a flag for culture from that time. We’re not stopping."

Noel Gallagher Has Some Advice For Simon Cowell

Noel Gallagher’s admitted that Simon Cowell’s tried to recruit him for The X Factor judging panel not once, but twice – in 2011 and 2013. But he didn’t want to do it.

However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have some advice for the show – a themed week of “songs you can’t murder”.

Noel Gallagher Meets Hulk Hogan, John Cena And More In London

No comments













There were rumours circulating about Oasis reforming for a comeback album, but it would appear Noel Gallagher is way too busy meeting his childhood hero Hulk Hogan.

The 46-year-old frontman grinned as wrestling megastar Hulk Hogan wrapped his arms around the British rocker and posed for a picture.

Hulk is currently in London filming the WWE SmackDown show with his muscly co-stars - and as a huge wrestling fan Noel wangled his way backstage to get a picture with his hero.

A source revealed the pair spent ages back stage chatting away like old friends, discussing Simon Cowell. 

Both Noel and Hulk have worked with the music mogul on music projects in the past and it seemed to be a talking point for the pair. 

Hulk also revealed he was a huge Oasis fan and they're top of his iPod list.

Meanwhile, speculation the Wonderwall hitmakers were set for a comeback reached fever pitch last month after Noel's brother Liam shared the band's name one letter at a time on his Twitter page.

Several bookmakers subsequently suspended betting on Oasis reuniting for a performance at Glastonbury festival in June, but the event's organisers have since denied the rumours.

Now guitarist Noel has dismissed the rumour, telling radio station talkSPORT: "I was in the newsagent the other day when the story broke and the Daily Star said 'Oasis to get back together for £500 million', which is half a billion (pounds). "I'd do it for half a billion anything. Yorkshire Tea bags, condoms, Pot Noodles."

Noel Gallagher Lays X Factor Rumours To Rest

No comments













Simon Cowell seems pretty desperate to get Noel Gallagher on the judging panel for The X Factor.

The music maestro, 53, has asked the rocker again, for what seems like the 20th time, to appear on the talent show alongside Sharon Osbourne, 60.

However, the High Flying Birds frontman, 45, is concerned he’ll lash out and upset long-standing judge and Simon’s best pal, Louis Walsh.

Noel admitted: “Yes I was asked to do it again.

“I think they think that because my tour’s fi nished I’m going to be bored, but I’m never going to be that bored. Sharon Osbourne gets £1.5million for it, I’ve heard. If she’s worth one and a half, what am I worth? Three? Three and three quarters?

“I’ve not got anything against the show, I just don’t want to be on the telly every Saturday night, f*ck that.

“You may be aware, I’ve got a slight case of Tourette’s syndrome and I would just end up saying to Louis Walsh: ‘Will you shut up, you c*nt!’”

Like most fans of the show, we’d love to see the Manc rock ‘n roller on the panel.

Even just for his comedy insults aimed at poor little Louis, 60.

This isn’t the first time gobby Gallagher has lashed out at the aging Irish music manager.

Noel previously told the world he thinks Louis is “mad as a box of frogs’’. He even went as far as saying sometimes, while watching the show, he has a sudden urge to strangle him.

He bizarrely mused: “That’s why they should bring it out in 3D, so you could literally lean into the television and just press on his throat a little bit.”

Noel admits he’s been approached numerous times by Cowell as “they need an Alpha Male” on board.

Simon Cowell Reveals Noel Gallagher Rejected Offers To Become X Factor Judge

No comments













Britain't Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has denied the claims that rocker Noel Gallagher could become a judge on the X Factor after revealing that the former Oasis star "wasn't interested" in the position.

Speaking to EntertainmentWise at the launch of Britain's Got Talent yesterday, the media mogul addressed the speculation that Noel had been approached to judge talent on the show when it returns later this year.

He said: "I don't think he'd want to do it."

Asked if he had spoken to Noel about the idea, Simon continued: "I spoke to him once but he wasn't interested. But I like Noel, he's a cool guy."

The media mogul also dismissed the claims that Noel has been offered money to appear on the show, commenting:

"No absolutely not. We literally had a conversation because I know him quite well but that was a couple of years ago."

Meanwhile, Simon also admitted at the press launch that he will axe the show when it gets "boring". He told us: "When we first made this show, if you'd told me we'd be sitting here on season seven, I would pinch myself to be honest with you. It's all credit to the guys who make the show. I think the show is as much about people as it is talent."

Believing that "everyone wants to be famous" these days, Simon continued:

"Let's be honest, we live in a world where everyone wants to be famous and I think that's fun and the day it starts to become boring, trust me we'll stop."

Noel Gallagher Has Been Offered £2m To Judge The X Factor

No comments













X Factor bosses have approached Noel Gallagher for the second time with a “name your price” offer to join the judging panel.

The former Oasis guitarist, 45, has been on Simon Cowell’s wish list for the hit ITV talent show for years.

And in the past fortnight Noel’s management company Ignition received a fresh megabucks offer — asking him to name a price around the £2million mark.

A source said last night: “Simon is determined to get Noel on board. He sees him as his natural replacement as the real alpha male on the panel.

“He thinks Noel would be ideal, with his music knowledge, straight-talking and rapier wit.”

The last time Simon, 53, made a seven-figure offer to the award-winning rock star he was knocked back.

The married dad-of-three was about to launch his critically acclaimed solo project, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

He has just finished touring and is now planning to make “going to the dry-cleaners last a day”.

The source added: “Noel’s daughter Anais is a huge fan of One Direction and X Factor, so she’ll be nagging him to say yes.”

Noel was first approached by Simon in 2011. The rock star told him he wouldn’t like to say lines like, “You know I can only take three into the final, and this is the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make. I left Oasis, but that was nothing compared to this”.

Take That star Gary Barlow is expected to return with Nicole Scherzinger. Sharon Osbourne is also in talks with bosses undecided on Louis Walsh.

Noel Gallagher Backs Christopher Maloney To Win The X Factor

No comments












There are fears that if Baloney is crowned winner he’ll not only ruin the show’s credibility but could also kill the prospect of a 10th series next year.

Noel Gallagher has scuppered his chances of ever being asked again to be an X Factor judge by Simon Cowell... he’s backing cheesy Chris Maloney to be the winner.

The ex-Oasis star said: “I’ve been watching X Factor and I wouldn’t mind seeing the Scouser win, because it’d be great to watch him have a nervous breakdown.

“But I also think James Arthur should win. That lad’s the best out of them all.

“I do like The X Factor, I’ve got say, for my sins.”

There are fears that if Baloney is crowned winner he’ll not only ruin the show’s credibility but could also kill the prospect of a 10th series next year.

Rocker Noel, who announced the line-up for the 2013 Teenage Cancer Trust At The Royal Albert Hall gigs, has asked his long-time Blur rivals Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon if they’ll perform alongside him.

Noel, who ended his feud with the band last year, said: “Will we play together? I hope so.”

The dad-of-three also had some paternal advice to give royal parents-to-be William and Kate.

He pointed out: “They’re not the first people in the country to have a baby, are they? I’ve had three.

“William should probably think about rejoining the Army. He’d have a quieter life.”

A garden shed might be a safer option.

Noel Gallagher Would Be An X Factor Judge For A Million Pound

No comments















Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher has joked he would be an X Factor judge for £1Million.

Naming his price, Noel, 44, said: "It's about six months' work, innit? I reckon it would have to be a million pounds after tax."

But he backtracked after realising the ITV show's boss Simon Cowell might take him up on his offer.

He told Radio Times: "I say that tongue-in-cheek."

Noel added: "I don't really want to do it. But a million pounds for six months' work? That's good money if you can get it.

"Even I don't earn that much."

Gary Barlow: 'I Can't See Noel Gallagher On The X Factor'

1 comment










Gary Barlow has said that he could not see Noel Gallagher becoming a judge on The X Factor.

The ex-Oasis songwriter recently confirmed that he had been approached by Simon Cowell to fill the "alpha male" head judge role on the show.

Gallagher admitted that his daughter has not forgiven him for turning down the position after he told Cowell that "he didn't really want me on there".

Asked about the approach, Cowell's eventual replacement Barlow told The Big Issue: "I don't know about [Noel being a good judge]... It's a big commitment.

"If you're going to get involved with something like this you've got to be prepared to give a lot of time and effort to it… I can't see him doing it somehow."

Of suggestions by some, including Gallagher, that the 16-year-olds on the show are too young, Barlow countered: "It's a massive opportunity. I think you've got to want it this bad. In fact, my criticism is, some of them should want it more than they do.

"The pop world is a bit like fashion. It moves very quickly. What happens with some people is, they earn a bit of money and they think, 'I'm all right now, and I can't be arsed with all the hard work anymore'."

Regarding the media attention for The X Factor, Barlow said: "The press stuff is just... actually quite funny. It's so wrong and so untrue it becomes funny. It's a bit of a circus, the whole thing.

"It's kind of part and parcel of the whole show so you learn to live with it. I don't read newspapers but you hear the whispers and you think, 'Jesus Christ, what is happening... what is happening here?' The truth is it's probably keeping a lot of the papers going."

The Big Issue is sold by homeless and vulnerably housed vendors for £2. £1 of the cover price goes directly to the vendor.

Noel Gallagher's Stone Secret

No comments










Chart champ Noel Gallagher knew that the Stone Roses were going to reform. The ex-Oasis man revealed: “We’d known for a while and were sworn to secrecy.

“It’s great for the fans and for them and a nice feeling just to see them together after so long. I love them as friends and as a band.”

And the Manc chart-topper, who has announced his first solo tour for next year, laughed at the suggestion that Oasis will reform.

Noel said: “They’ve been split for 15 years, we split up 15 minutes ago. We’re all waiting for The Smiths to do it. They say it won’t happen but they said the same about the Roses.”

One comeback Noel does think is essential is on The X Factor.

He said: “They should bring Simon Cowell back. It can’t be a coincidence that the ratings have gone down just when he left.”

Noel Gallagher: X Factor 'No Good' Without Simon Cowell

No comments












X Factor fan Noel Gallagher declared that the show has been "no good" since the departure of Simon Cowell.

The former Oasis guitarist, who turned down a mentoring role on the programme, said it had worked better with the music supremo as head of the judging panel.

Asked what he thought of the latest series of X Factor, he replied: "No good without Simon Cowell in it."

Gallagher - whose debut solo album is top of the chart - was speaking on the red carpet as he arrived at the Q Awards. He was named Q Icon at the awards ceremony.

The musician's comments came as a decline in viewing figures coincided with a change in the line-up of judges, now headed up by Take That singer Gary Barlow.

Matt Cardle Wishes Noel Gallagher 'All The Best'

No comments













X Factor winner Matt Cardle has praised his chart rival Noel Gallagher as "a legend" as the pair go head-to-head in the race for this week's biggest selling album.

Gallagher's debut solo album High Flying Birds looks like landing the top spot on Sunday, with a significant lead over Cardle's new release, Letters.

The ex-Oasis star has so far sold 55,000 copies, while Letters has shifted 28,000, according to the Official Chart Company, although Cardle, 28, is expected to close the gap in the coming days once supermarket sales filter in.

Speaking ahead of a free acoustic show at HMV music store, in Oxford Street, central London, Cardle said: "Noel is quite a legend to be fair. I haven't heard the whole album - I've heard some tracks and they're great - but I wish him all the best."

The rivalry between Cardle and Gallagher's albums has built up during the past few weeks, with Gallagher claiming that he had turned down an offer from Simon Cowell to be an X Factor judge.

Cardle said Cowell had little input into his new album, adding: "I'm really thankful to Simon for letting me go away and write the album as I saw fit. We had a vision for the album quite early on and now it's come to life."
