Liam Gallagher lashes out at Noel for charity no-show

Liam Gallagher has blasted his brother Noel for not performing with him at One Love Manchester.

The 44-year-old rocker made a surprise appearance at the charity concert in the city on Sunday (06.04.17) evening, with many fans hoping for an Oasis reunion, but instead the singer – who flew back from Germany for the event – teamed up with Coldplay’s Chris Martin for a rendition of ‘Live Forever’.

And despite the tension between Liam and his older brother – who have barely spoken since Oasis split in 2009 – the ‘Wall of Glass’ hitmaker has admitted he was "very disappointed" not to have Noel, 50, by his side at the emotional show.

Liam posted in a series of tweets: "What an amazing night last night pure love vibrations nobody comes close to Manchester love forever LG x

"Oh and if anybody’s seen rkid tell him he can come out now as you were LG x

"Manchester id like to apologise for my brothers absence last night very disappointed stay beautiful stay safe LG x

"Noels out of the f***ing country weren’t we all love get on a f***ing plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad f**k (sic)"

And when a fan joked any Oasis reunion was definitely off the cards now, Liam hit out again.

He fumed: "F**k the reunion mate it ain’t about oasis it’s about people helping other people and he’s once again shown his true f**ing colours (sic)"

Meanwhile, it has emerged Coldplay’s Chris was instrumental in getting Liam involved with the charity concert after the former Beady Eye frontman’s performance at Rock am Ring festival in Germany was scrapped when the concert site was evacuated.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Chris felt it would really add something special to have Oasis represented at the event and personally called Liam to make it happen.

"Liam was eager to be involved from the start but the clash had kept him from doing it. Things changed over the weekend and Chris gave him a call to see if they could arrange something.

"They came up with the idea of an incredible duet together and ‘Live Forever’ seemed a perfect anthem to sum up the message of the event."

The One Love Manchester concert – which was staged by Ariana Grande in honor of those who were killed or injured in a terrorist attack at her concert in the city two weeks ago – also saw performances from Take That, Robbie Williams, Black Eyed Peas, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Niall Horan, Imogen Heap and Justin Bieber.

More than £10 million has been raised for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund so far, with £2 million raised within three hours of the benefit concert.

Miley Cyrus grateful to play One Love Manchester

Miley Cyrus is grateful to be a part of Ariana Grande’s One Love Manchester charity concert.

The ‘Malibu’ singer will be one of the acts taking to the stage at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground on Sunday (06.04.17), in honor of the 22 people killed and 59 injured in the terrorist attack at the 23-year-old singer’s concert at the city’s Manchester Arena on May 22, and she has thanked her "great friend" for inviting her to be involved with the show.

Miley shared a video of herself and Ariana’s duet of ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ from her Happy Hippie foundation’s Backyard Sessions in 2015 and captioned the clip: "Thank you @arianagrande for having me at your very special One Love benefit concert in Manchester! Always been a great friend to ME & @happyhippiefdn !!!! (sic)"

Meanwhile, it has emerged Take That may be joined on stage at the concert by former member Robbie Williams – who was a member of the boy band from 1990 to 1995, and again from 2009 to 2012 – for a "very special reunion".

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Robbie has signed up to perform and, of course, the first thing the organisers ­suggested was getting him together with Take That, who are already on the bill.

"They are all great mates and love the chance to get together, so everyone agrees it would be a lovely thing to do for such an incredible cause.

"Being local lads it’s obviously something they’re all very passionate about supporting. They have gone to great lengths to make sure they can be there – even though it will mean Take That ­racing straight from the stage to their own gig later that night in ­Birmingham.

"Talks are very much ongoing and if they can make the timings work then it would be a very special reunion indeed."

Robbie, Take That, and Miley will appear alongside Ariana, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Niall Horan, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Little Mix, and Black Eyed Peas at the music extravaganza, which will see the net profits donated to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

Ariana Grande, Coldplay and Justin Bieber for Manchester benefit concert

Ariana Grande will be joined by Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and more at a benefit concert on Sunday (04.06.17) for the victims of the Manchester terrorist attack.

Pharrell Williams, Take That, Niall Horan, Miley Cyrus and Usher have also been confirmed for the event, which will be held at the northern city’s Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground, and is being organised by Live Nation.

All profits made from tickets will go to the victims of the atrocity at Manchester Arena on May 22 at Ariana’s ‘Dangerous Woman Tour’ concert, which saw an explosion in the foyer of the venue kill 22 people and injure over 50.

The organisers said: "All net ticket proceeds of the show will go directly to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund."

The ‘Into You’ hitmaker revealed her plans to return to Manchester to meet those affected and raise funds for the victims and their families last week after she returned to the US.

In a lengthy Twitter post, she previously said: "My heart, prayers and deepest condolences are with the victims of the Manchester Attack and their loved ones.

There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better. However, I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need my help in any way.

"The only thing we can do now is choose how we let this affect us and how we live our lives from here on out.

"I’ll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise money for the victims and their families. I want to thank my fellow musicians and friends for reaching out to be a part of our expression of love for Manchester. I will have details to share with you as soon as everything is confirmed."

Ariana, 23, also called for her fans not to let the terrorists win and she praised the city and her fans for how they have reacted to the tragedy.

She wrote: "I have been thinking of my fans and of you all non stop over the past week. The way you have handled all of this has been more inspiring and made me more proud than you’ll ever know. The compassion, kindness, love, strength and oneness that you’ve shown one another this past week is the exact opposite of the heinous intentions it must take to pull off something as evil as what happened on Monday. YOU are the opposite. I am sorry for the pain and fear that you must be feeling and for the trauma that you, too, must be experiencing. We will never be able to understand why events like this take place because it is not in our nature, which is why we shouldn’t recoil. We will not quit or operate in fear. We won’t let this divide us.

"From the day we started putting together the Dangerous Woman tour, I said that this show, more than anything else, was intended to be a safe space for my fans. A place for them to escape, to celebrate, to heal, to feel safe and to be themselves. To meet the friends they’ve made online, to express themselves. We will continue in honor of the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and all affected by this tragedy. They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life. Ari (sic)."

Scooter Braun won’t live in fear

Ariana Grande’s manager has vowed to live each day "full" following a terrorist attack at her concert earlier this week.

Scooter Braun – who also manages Justin Bieber – insists people shouldn’t live their lives in fear and offered his support to the families and friends of the 22 people who were killed when a bomb was detonated at the ‘Problem’ singer’s gig in Manchester, North West England, on Monday (22.05.17), as well as those affected by other atrocities around the world.

He wrote on Twitter: "Tonight I got home and took my parents out to dinner. Korean bbq. We drank and ate and laughed with the tables next to us.

"I experienced joy for the first time in days. And I remembered…we r free. We are all different but we r free to enjoy each other’s company.

"I will honor those that r lost by living each day full. Full of fun, full of laughter, full of joy. I welcome the differences of my neighbor. The wish of terrorism is to take away that feeling of freedom and joy. No. That is my answer. No. We cant allow it. Fear cannot rule the day. More people die each year from car crashes then terrorism. Yet I will get in my car. I will choose to live then to be afraid. So…

"Manchester I stand with you. Jakarta I stand with u..children of Syria I stand with you. We will honor you by not giving in to the darkness.

"And I will honor all of u by laughing loving and living. Living full for every wonderful innocent child whose life was taken to soon. (sic)"

Ariana, 23, has shelved her European concert dates in the wake of the tragedy, and some fans have urged Scooter to also pull the plug on Justin’s upcoming UK show, but he insists they will still go ahead.

He replied: "not going to happen. We will never let evil stop us from living our life wih joy.(sic)"

Justin Bieber’s rider leaked

Justin Bieber insists on food named after his own songs, a female masseuse, and a Jacuzzi on his tour rider.

The ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker’s list of backstage demands has seemingly leaked online, and it includes a convoy of 10 luxury sedans and two buses, a ping pong table, sofa set, beauty products, fresh flowers and a private jet and helicopter on permanent stand-by.

When it comes to snacking, Justin wants organic turkey, white cheddar popcorn, vegetables seasoned with ranch sauce and dried fruit, and the ‘Baby’ singer asks for glass-doored refrigerators to display his energy and protein drinks, cream soda, 24 bottles of still water and half a gallon of almond milk.

For meal times, the rider documents – which were shared on Twitter by an Indian journalist – state: "Top culinary experts will supervise the gourmet food being served to Bieber over the four days with five dishes per day being renamed after his popular songs."

In every dressing room, the 23-year-old singer requests white crew-neck T-shirts, tank tops and some socks but in seemingly-odd sizing, such as socks only in extra small or large.

When it comes to relaxation, Justin requires a Jacuzzi for his "personal use to unwind before he takes to the stage", as well as a masseuse, and aromatic oils and incense sticks for his daily Yoga rituals.

For his accommodation needs, the ‘Sorry’ singer wants three floors of redecorate hotel rooms for himself and his entourage, and a private lift.

The extravagant list of demands is in stark contrast to his 2010 rider, which was deemed "dull" as it contained simple requests such as mixed nuts, herbal teas and gummy candy.

Hailee Steinfeld brands Justin Bieber dating rumours as ‘crazy’

Hailee Steinfeld thinks it’s "crazy" that she was rumoured to be dating Justin Bieber.

The 20-year-old actress was believed to have been striking up a romance with the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker over the last month, but has dismissed the speculation and says she’s "been friends" with the hunky pop star "for years".

When asked if she was dating Justin during an appearance on American radio station Sirius XM, the ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ star said: "I am not. I know, it’s crazy. I don’t know why people make such a big deal. We’re friends. We’ve been friends for years and, yeah."

The comments come after it was previously reported that Hailee wasn’t interested in "anything but friendship" with the 23-year-old singer, as she is instead romancing Cameron Smoller.

Meanwhile, Justin’s close friend Madison Beer recently revealed the star is in "such a good place right now".

The ‘Love Yourself’ musician – who was previously in a volatile four-year relationship with fellow pop star Selena Gomez – has had a number of brushes with the law since rising to fame, but is now happier than he has ever been.

Madison said: "He’s at such a good place in his life right now and I’m just happy to see how happy and healthy he is.

"I mean, I think that Justin has such a regimen that he goes through, he’s so focused and driven and, you know, he has his head on straight, which is really important."

And Justin seems to agree, as he recently shared a picture of his mugshot from his 2014 arrest, alongside a current snap of himself, on Instagram and saying that while he is "not exactly where I want to be", he is happier than he has been in some time.

He wrote: "I LOVE THIS because it reminds me IM NOT EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT THANK GOD IM NOT WHERE I USED TO BE!! THE BEST IS YET TO COME DO YOU BELIEVE IT? (sic)."

The mugshot was taken after Justin was charged with driving under the influence when he was stopped by police for drag racing in Miami, Florida.

Hailee Steinfeld sees Justin Bieber ‘just as a friend’

Hailee Steinfeld isn’t interested in "anything but a friendship" with Justin Bieber.

The 20-year-old actress is rumoured to have been dating the chart-topping musician over the last month – but Hailee apparently only sees Justin as a friend.

Instead, Hailee is dating Cameron Smoller and has no intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with Justin, according to the New York Post newspaper.

The report comes shortly after Justin’s good friend Madison Beer revealed the star is in "such a good place right now".

The 23-year-old singer has had a number of brushes with the law since rising to fame, but is now happier than he has ever been.

Madison said: "He’s at such a good place in his life right now and I’m just happy to see how happy and healthy he is.

The mugshot was taken after Justin was charged with driving under the influence when he was stopped by police for drag racing in Miami, Florida.

Last year, meanwhile, the singer was involved in a physical confrontation with a man outside of his hotel in Cleveland, Ohio.

Justin Bieber being sued for hate crime

Justin Bieber’s former neighbours are trying to sue him for hate crime.

The 23-year-old pop star may have moved away from Jeffrey and Suzanne Schwartz three years ago after he was forced to shell out $80,000 for egging their house in Calabasas, California, in 2014 but it seems they’re still trying to wrangle money out of the singer as they’ve accused his team of hurling anti-Semitic comments at them.

According to court documents, seen by TMZ, the couple’s lawyers have claimed "threatening a man with body harm while calling him a ‘little Jew boy’ and intimidating him with ‘what are you going to do about it, Jew boy?’ is a hate crime."

However, later on in the paperwork, the pair agree that the comments were allegedly made by the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker’s bodyguard and the star didn’t actually say anything.

Mr and Mrs Schwartz – who claimed that Justin had subjected them to loud parties when he lived next to them – previously said they were still suffering with headaches, stomachaches and insomnia as a result of the infamous egging debacle in 2014.

As well as forking out the hefty sum in damages, Justin – who pleaded no contest to his misdemeanour vandalism charge – was sentenced to two years on probation and was ordered to complete five days community service at a homeless shelter.

Over the past three years, Justin has tried to get his life back on track and even had a moment of reflection over the weekend when he shared a mugshot from his 2014 Driving Under the Influence arrest alongside a current shot of himself on Instagram.

He wrote: "I LOVE THIS because it reminds me IM NOT EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT THANK GOD IM NOT WHERE I USED TO BE!! THE BEST IS YET TO COME DO YOU BELIEVE IT? (sic)."
