Noel Gallagher To Appear In The New Star Wars Movie

Noel Gallagher is set to make a guest appearance in the new as yet untitled Star Wars movie.

He will film the scenes in the London later this year.

A source told us "Noel was asked earlier this year if he would like to appear in the movie, and jumped at the chance "Give Noel a lightsaber, and he'll do anything".

Producer JJ Abrams described his casting as a "very exceptional case", having written the part specifically for Gallagher.

20 Years Of Oasis’ Definitely Maybe

It’s likely, halfway through 1994 as one continued the incessant touring trail after finally completing work on his band’s debut album, and the other came to an agreement which would see him adopt the mantle of leader of the Labour Party, that Noel Gallagher and Tony Blair had never even heard of each other.

However, just three short years later the pair would meet inside 10 Downing Street with a handshake and a glass of champagne for an image which now – in all its superficiality – suitably defines an era. By then Noel Gallagher was rich, successful and exhalted. Tony Blair, equally, had just been carried to power in the UK on a landslide, himself now carrying the hopes of a nation blossoming with colour after a generation of grey Tory decline. Or so went the narrative anyway.

Their meeting was the appropriately bizarre hedonistic tipping point of Britpop – that intangible, loosely defined media invention with which Oasis are now so intrinsically tied. Britart and Cool Britannia had themselves been gobbled up by the tabloids in its wake. “Revolution!” they cried. “London swings again!” Yet now, like the Sex Pistols did a decade on from the Summer Of Love, we must surely look back through gritted teeth knowing that, just like Johnny Rotten in 1977, for the majority it was essentially ‘Bollocks’.

Even before that Blair/Gallagher summit was held most of the main protagonists had already come to realise as much. The tabloid press – Dr. Frankenstein to Britpop’s monster – decided enough was enough. Blur were about to re-emerge from their ridiculous Benny Hill cartoon ‘Country House‘ selves with bags under their eyes, a moody camera filter and a far darker story to tell on ‘Beetlebum‘. The gloomy Wigan stroll of Richard Ashcroft and The Verve‘s ‘Bittersweet Symphony‘ would be the diametric anthem for 1997′s summer, ‘Urban Hymns‘ the instant post-Britpop bible. Oasis’ timing was less savvy; the insane riot of ‘Be Here Now‘ arrived right in the eye of a backlash storm, soundtracking a mindset which had already pulled out of the station. It would be another year before Noel Gallagher finally boarded up Supernova Heights and went cold turkey on Billy Connolly videos.

All of which, incredibly twenty years on, makes ‘Definitely Maybe‘ retrospectively more important than ever – and why this article chooses to get those Britpop footnotes out of the way at the earliest opportunity.

Oasis Super Fan Needed

My name is David Aspinall and I am a reporter for an international press agency based in the UK (www.catersnews.com)

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Definitely Maybe I am trying to find an Oasis superfan/collector/both who would be interested in being interviewed and photographed about the love of the band.

That could include maybe somebody who has travelled thousands of miles or to each continent to see them live, or maybe somebody who has spent thousands of pounds on memorabilia.

Preferably, I am looking for somebody based in the UK so we could organise our own photographs, but if you are outside of this country and have some amazing photos of your own that could also work.

If you are interested in getting in touch please can you contact me on +44 (0)121 616 1100 or on davidaspinall@catersnews.com.

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Campaign Supernova!

To coincide with the 20th anniversary of the release of Oasis' first singles and debut album in 1994, (heralding the dawn of the Britpop era), we propose to put out a boxset which celebrates the history of their label - the maverick Creation Records. It follows the re-release of our critically acclaimed, award winning documentary film , Upside Down: the Creation Records Story, which featured a cross section of Creation artists from the Jesus and Mary Chain to Primal Scream and everyone in-between including the Super furry Animals, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, the House of Love and of course ,Oasis. It is also telling that 2014 also marks the 30th anniversary of the label's first release proper - 1984's Upside Down by The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Our film of the same name picked up 2011's MOJO Vision award and the NME writers award the same year beating Martin Scorsese's George Harrison biopic into second place. The boxset will feature the film itself and another disc which boasts at least 25 extended interviews with the likes of Noel Gallagher, Bonehead, Bobby Gillespie, Alan McGee, Irvine Welsh, Howard Marks and many many more

We have a crowdfunding campaign in motion through Indiegogo with the aim to raise the capital required to get this amazing boxset made.

Noel Gallagher: Liverpool Title Victory Would Be Catastrophic For Manchester United

Noel Gallagher wants Liverpool to win the Premier League title – should Manchester City miss out on the crown.

The Reds are in a four-way battle for the crown with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

And Gallagher claims a victory for the Anfield side would not only deny ‘ungrateful’ Jose Mourinho, but also upset Manchester United supporters in the process.

When asked who he wanted to win the Premier League title if Manchester City missed out, he said: “Liverpool.

“There are two reasons for that. It would be worse for Manchester United fans than Manchester City winning the title, for a start.

“I also don’t want Mourinho to get his hands on it this year because he’s been such an ungrateful, cheat.”

Taylor Momsen Wants To Write With Noel Gallagher

Taylor Momsen wants to write a song with Noel Gallagher.

The Pretty Reckless singer is a self-confessed Oasis fan and previously met Noel's brother and former bandmate Liam but claims she is dying to collaborate with the 'AKA... What a Life!' singer after covering his old band's hit 'Supersonic' on tour.

She said: ''I'd love to write a song with Noel Gallagher, I'm a massive Oasis fan. It would be awesome, Noel is an amazing songwriter. I've met Liam a couple times, he's super cool, he's totally the real deal, exactly how you'd want him to be, but I've not met Noel yet.''

Taylor also hopes Oasis, who split in 2009 after Noel and Liam had a huge backstage argument, will one day reform and the 20-year-old star admits her band's cover of the their song wasn't always well-received by fans at their live shows.

She continued: ''We used to cover 'Supersonic' [in our set] and thought everyone would flip out over it. We mixed it with 'Time Is Running Out' [by Muse] and put it together.

We thought everyone would go nuts, but it was kind of 50/50 when we hit the UK, whether they loved it or hated it.''

The singer, whose band have just released their second album 'Going To Hell', would also like to play with American rock band Soundgarden.

She added: ''I'm dying to play with Soundgarden, or play at a festival with them, which I think we are doing.''
