Noel Gallagher Wants To Kiss Jose Mourinho

As a fellow proponent of rockstar swagger and speaking his mind, lifelong Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has made no secret of his admiration for The Special One. He praised Mourinho when Sven Goran Eriksson was sacked in 2008, and phoned talkSPORT last year to tell them the Portuguese would be a perfect replacement for Roberto Mancini at Eastlands.

But this is a little more than one successful man admiring another. If an interview in Spanish daily newspaper El Mundo is to be believed, the former Oasis guitarist wants to make mouth whoopy with Mourinho when his solo tour hits the Spanish capital:

What do you expect from the concert in Madrid?

I hope Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Özil come. I love Mourinho with all my f**king heart. If you see him, tell him that I want to kiss him.

Are you being serious?

Quite serious. I love this man and I want to kiss him.

While Noel loves him some Special One, the more obnoxious Gallagher brother hasn't been quite so complimentary. At a Beady Eye concert in Madrid earlier this year, Liam is reported to have said: "There's only one boss in this town, and if Jose's here I'll have him."

Michael Winterbottom To Direct Liam Gallagher's Beatles Movie

Michael Winterbottom is being lined up to direct Liam Gallagher's movie about The Beatles. The director, who has already directed music movies Nine Songs and 24 Hour Party People, is set to helm The Longest Cocktail Party, on which the Beady Eye singer is a producer.

The film is based on Richard DiLello's memoir of the period between 1967 and 1970. A former intern at Apple Records, DiLello became director of public relations at the label.

Co-producer Andrew Eaton told IndieWire: "We're developing for Michael to direct, it's one of my passion projects. Liam's great to work with, because he wants everything to happen tomorrow. Because he’s not from the film business he’s basically going, 'Why can’t we do it right now?' It's very inspiring."

The script has been written by Peep Show writer Jesse Armstrong.

Noel Gallagher's Son Stops Him From Playing The Guitar

The former Oasis star's four-year-old son Donovan - his child with wife Sara MacDonald - is not a fan of his dad's musical talent and will put his hand over his strings to halt his practice sessions.

Noel - who has another child, 12-month-old Sonny, with Sara, and an 11-year-old daughter Anais with his ex-wife Meg Matthews - said: "I've always got a guitar round the house. I'd like to play the guitar more but I've got three kids and a cat and they're slowly demolishing my house!

"Unfortunately my eldest lad has developed a habit of finding me wherever I am in the house. I could be inside a wardrobe just getting five minutes, and he'll find me. He'll just open the wardrobe door. He doesn't say anything, he'll just put his hands over the strings. So that's it."

But the 'If I Had A Gun' singer - who releases his debut solo album, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', next week - has come up with an plan to get his revenge on Donovan when he is older.

During an appearance on the Simon Mayo show on UK station BBC Radio 2, he added: "When he does it I just look at him and think I'll remember this when I'm writing my will out. He'll find out when they're reading out the will and 'to Donovan...' He'll say, 'He's left me this guitar.' It would be ironic wouldn't it?"

Noel Gallagher Set To Beat X Factor's Matt Cardle In UK Chart Battle

Noel Gallagher is set to beat Matt Cardle to the UK album number one spot with his debut effort.

According to Amazon the former Oasis member has accumulated 13% more pre-orders for his debut solo album Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds than Cardle has for Letters album.

"Matt Cardle's album has been pre-ordering very well, but over the last few weeks we've seen a significant increase in demand for Noel's debut post-Oasis effort," said Paul Firth, head of music buying at Amazon UK.

"There is still some way to go but Noel is in pole position and in the process, his High Flying Birds have sold more than three times as many pre-order albums as his brother Liam's band, Beady Eye, achieved before release."

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', released on October 17, was recorded in London and completed in Los Angeles during 2010 and the first half of this year.

It features ten new songs and was produced by Gallagher and Dave Sardy. The album includes guest appearances from the Crouch End Festival Chorus and The Wired Strings.

The album, which is due to be released later this month, is the first of two Gallagher is set to put out over the coming year.

Noel Gallagher’s Pop At Ed Miliband

Rock star Noel Gallagher has blasted Ed Miliband as "utterly uninspiring and dull".

The former Oasis guitarist also slammed the Coalition — saying nobody voted for it.

Noel became a New Labour icon when he was invited to Number 10 by the then PM Tony Blair at the height of the Cool Britannia campaign.

But appearing on BBC2's Newsnight, Noel said the only thing he knew about Mr Miliband was that he defeated his brother for the leadership.

The star added: "Every time I have seen the guy who is head of Labour speaking he is utterly uninspiring and dull."

Noel, 44, also said he has been banned from Radio 1 — for being too old. He said: "I don't really have a problem with it because the internet has made radio obsolete in a way."

Noel Gallagher On Videos, Liam, The Spin Doctors And More

Noel Gallagher has released three music videos for his first solo project Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds before the record has even hit shops. This is notable for the former Oasis songwriter, who has traditionally shied away from appearing on film and generally deferred the spotlight to his brother Liam while in that band. In the video above, you can go behind the scenes of Gallagher's video for the new single "If I Had A Gun." Rolling Stone also caught up with the rocker to chat about his favorite videos, his plans for his next solo album and the status of his legal conflict with Liam.

Do you plan on making a lot of videos for this new record?
I’ve done a lot upfront. The reason is, I met this guy out in L.A. who really likes the music – he did the video for "The Death of You and Me" – and they didn’t want me in it. And I thought, "Well that’s cool, because I fucking hate being on film anyway. And he really likes it, and I really like him, and we get on great. And you know, him and his producer are fucking brilliant – and there was talk of him doing videos for the whole album, but I’m not sure that that will come off.

Are there any videos through your career that you enjoyed being in?
Well I’ve liked being in all these three so far, because the first thing I said was, "I’m not going to do any lip-syncing and I’m not going to play the guitar, because I fucking hate that on video sets; because you play the song a whole bunch of times and you get tired by – I don’t know, the fifteenth take – and you’re just thinking, "I actually don’t fucking like this song anymore; I fucking hate it.”

Do you like videos at all? Do you watch other people’s videos?
I used to, when I was a kid, and MTV was just starting, fuck yeah, man. It was like the new fucking revolution. But now, they’re nice to watch, but they’re not as important as the record. You see some other bands, and they put a lot more thought into the video than they have into the song, do you know what I mean? And I personally would not sit down and watch a video channel all day, because it’d fucking turn my brain to cheese. But I don’t dislike the genre. I just don’t think I’m very good at it, you know what I mean? I could sit and watch VH1 in the Eighties all night. Because some of those videos are batshit, but they’re great. Remember that band, the Spin Doctors?

That’s actually the ‘90s. That’s like ’91.
Is it?

They were at our office recently; they have a 20th anniversary thing out.
Get out of here. They actually got a fucking chance to do one? Those are the videos that I fucking hate. I don’t hate them. They’re just very of their time. You know, Mister Mister, all that shit. The rock videos are crazy, you know? The Mötley Crüe ones, the fucking Poison ones and all that. They’re great because they’re just fucking nonsense. Girls, girls, girls.

How is your next record coming along with Amorphous Androgynous?
Yeah, we could put it out tomorrow. We’re just fiddling with the mixes. You know, psychedelic pop record. Not electronic. If you actually like psychedelic music, you’ll love it, you don’t, you’ll fucking hate it.

When do you expect that to be out?
In an ideal world, next summer, but I couldn’t give you a definite release date. I could have made a double album, because all of these two albums are derived from the same sessions. There were different tracks on both if you know what I mean.

Are you going to be performing any of the songs from that record in concert, when you’re out on tour?
I’m not going to do the Amorphous stuff just yet because I think people would be stunned, and they’d be thinking, "I don’t know what this is, I don’t know what it is, I don’t know what he’s going on about. He’s actually talking..." So I’ll wait till it comes out before I drop it on people.

I wanted to ask you about the situation with your brother, Liam, who is suing you for defamation. Has that all been resolved?
It hasn't gone away, and I’m not allowed to talk about it, because he gets very upset. It’s almost like he’s turned in to the indie Elton John.
