Poor aul Noel Gallagher. He may want to make sure to avoid today’s review of Who Built The Moon in the Irish Times. Aside from the measly one star they’ve given the album, they also unleashed a scathing attack on the album with the following:
"Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds practise a particularly guileless, tub-thumping, broad-strokes version of this pungent, hollowed-out genre. Perhaps this is to be expected – we’re talking about a middle-aged Manchester City fan who’s last memorable contribution to his art appeared more than two decades ago.
It’s the stale, musty sound of a glorified pub band going through the motions. Rock is dead; this is a pantomime."
Very ouch!
The Late Late tonight is set to be a good one... Daniel O’Donnell AND Mario Rosenstock. Every noticed that you’ve never seen them in the same room together? Well... tonight... you still might not! Who knows?
Adele has made 10 million euro this year, despite not releasing any new music. And – that total is set to rise even further when takings from her tour this year are made public next March. Rolling in the DOUGH, har har.
Jeremy McConnell is set to spend Christmas in jail. Anyone who watched Celebrity Big Brother a couple of years ago will have seen him enter the house as former Mr Ireland (he never was Mr Ireland) and get together with Stephanie Davis, an actress from Hollyoaks. Fast foward a year, they had broken up and got back together multiple times, had a baby, and he was this summer convicted of assaulting Stephanie. He was given community service instead of jail time – but decided to skip off to Turkey with his mates and – bizarrely – get a hair and beard transplant. He documented this heavily on his social media accounts, and because he skipped his community service, he has been sentenced to 18 weeks in prison in the UK.
