Noel Gallagher Lays Into Amy Winehouse & Kaiser Chiefs

Oasis songwriter and guitar player Noel Gallagher is no stranger to voicing his opinion and this time, pop stars like Amy Winehouse and Kaiser Chiefs are the subject of his in vogue rant.

During an interview with BBC Newsbeat, Gallagher could be head branding Scouting For Girls as "Scouting for Idiots", before moving on to the chart-topping producer: "[Ronson] wants to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else's," says Noel. "Mark Ronson inevitably to learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune."

Elsewhere in the radiocommunication chat, he joked: "The Monkees haven't split up, they're but going under the key of the Kaiser Chiefs." Before adding, "I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that big as to say, 'You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs ar brilliant.'"

Oasis themselves are preparing to release their seventh studio album 'Dig Out Your Soul' in October.

Ian Parry's fable began as the frontman for the cult dance

Lily Allen - Show Goes On For Grieving Allen

British pop star LILY ALLEN fought back the tears during her appearance at the U.K.'s Glastonbury festival this weekend (28-29Jun08) - taking to the stage just hours after her beloved grandmother passed away.

Allen was booked to make an appearance at the event alongside superproducer Mark Ronson on Sunday (29Jun08) night but her performance was thrown into jeopardy with the news that her elderly relative - mother of Allen's actor father Keith - died on Saturday (28Jun08).

But Allen surprised organisers by keeping her promise to sing at the festival and appeared in an emotional state as she took to the stage.

Before launching into a moving rendition of her hit song Littlest Things, she told the crowd, "My Nana Allen died last night. This is for Nana Allen. I love you."

BBC to offer live coverage of NFL's Wembley game

LONDON —

The BBC will offer live television coverage of the Oct. 26 regular-season game between the San Diego Chargers and the New Orleans Saints at Wembley Stadium.

Last year's live telecast of the first NFL regular-season game played outside North America, between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins, was only on Sky Sports - a satellite subscription channel.

The Chargers-Saints game will start on one of the BBC's main channels, BBC Two, and switch after two hours to BBC Three, a digital channel with lower audience reach. BBC Two also will broadcast late-night highlights.

The first batch of 40,000 tickets for the Chargers-Saints game sold out in 90 minutes last month. The NFL has committed to playing at least one game in Britain over each of the next three seasons.

Beatles to travel 'Across the Universe'

The Beatles' classic 'Across the Universe' is to become the first ever song to be beamed directly into space next week, NASA has confirmed.
Paul McCartney said it was an "amazing" achievement and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono called it the "beginning of a new age".
The transmission of the song over the space agency's Deep Space Network on Monday will mark the 40th anniversary of the day the band recorded the song.
The song will be aimed at the North Star, Polaris, 431 light years away from Earth, and it will travel across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second.
In a message to the space agency, McCartney said: "Amazing! Well done, NASA! Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul."
Yoko Ono added: "I see that this as the beginning of the new age in which we will communicate with billions of planets across the universe."
Fans have been invited to participate in the event by playing the song around the world at midnight GMT on Monday night - the same time it will be transmitted by NASA.
The event will also mark 50 years of NASA, 45 years of the Deep Space Network and 50 years since the founding of Explorer 1, the first US satellite.
The Deep Space Network is an international network of antennas that supports missions to explore the universe.
