...finally, Oasis have denied a tabloid report that they are to play an outdoor show in London'd Hyde Park this summer. Promoters Harvey Goldsmith last week declined to answer MM's enquiries abut their reported plans for a series of shows in the capital's London parks this summer.

"Noel's Death Denied"

Noel Gallagher last week interrupted his holiday in Thailand to reassure us that reports of his death on the Internet had been greatly exaggerated. Internet stories stated that he'd died in London's Portobello Road.

Noel Gallagher and wife Meg's holiday in Thailand caused a stir in the Daily Star, with a headline blaring " Meg finds a Thai boy". [the following are all taken from Meg's column in the previous Sunday's The Times' Style magazine and were not "news"] The story reported the couple's wild night in Patong with eight friends at "a kinky lady-boy show". The city is famous for what the Star describes as "misfits who have the proper ladies' equipment on top...but the baggage of a man down below" - and we though that it was just Alan Partridge who found them fascinating.
Saucy Meg allegedly told the paper: "A gang of us descended on Patong, where we drank powerful Long Island Iced Tea cocktails and went to a lady-boy show. The choreograpy was absolutely terrible...but we had a really great laugh." Oasis' spokesman told the Maker that, for once, the story is true!
The paper expressed its "genuine" concern that the couple's behaviour was "getting stranger by the day", because, apparently, they bought an antique buddha "to help with their spirituality" and were also doused in holy water by a monk who, according to Meg, "had a lovely aura" It all sounds dangerously Glenn Hoddle-like to us.
Days after their return, The Sun pictured the showbiz duo at Peggy Gallagher's surprise 52nd birthday party at London's trendy bar, Titanic. Noel reportedly presented his mum with an Irish "claddagh" ring and forked out over Ł3,000 on the bill at the end of the night.
The star-studded guest list supposedly included All Saints' Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt, Goldie and "raunchy Republica singer" Saffron. But, alas, there was no sign of Peggy's younger son Liam, who was out of the country with Patsy at the time.
