Liam and Noel kick off their Oasis comeback tour TODAY[/caption]

As Oasis legends Liam and Noel Gallagher get ready to return to the stage later today, fans may be wondering if Patsy will be going.

Asked on Good Morning Britain today, the EastEnders star said: “My son. He’ll be there. You have a lovely time. wait for him to see all of that and I’m happy for you.

“I think it’s a wonderful thing, but I Won’t be attending.

I think I’ve said enough now about about about that.

“I send only love and light.”

INTENSE ROMANCE

Liam and Patsy, who met on a plane in 1995, had a very intense relationship.

The actress once described this to The Mirror, and said: “We just clicked on every level. He was protective and loving. When we were together there were fireworks, and a chemistry that lasted to the end”.

It’s not surprising Patsy isn’t going to any Oasis concert on the tour, considering she hasn’t spoken to her ex-husband in 25 years.

The split from Liam was particularly brutal, with the actress previously admitting how her heart “broke into a million pieces” when he left.

While the Oasis rocker moved on unscathed, Patsy told The Sun last year that she was “abandoned by the in-crowd” and the people she thought were her friends. 

“I had lots of ‘fancy’ friends in the ‘90s – everyone wanted you to be hanging out with them, but I lost all of them when my relationship ended,” she said

“I hate ‘phoneyism’ and I was ditched by the whole community overnight – every one of them.

“I don’t hold on to the disappointment, but it was disappointing because I was still very young and I had two children on my own.

“But I feel very lucky to have friends in my life who have always been there since I was 16 – my real friends.

“Women I can tell anything to and know it will never go any further.

“That wasn’t true in the ‘90s.”

Patsy also previously revealed how she cried “every day for three and a half years” during her relationship.

PROUD MAMA

However her time with Liam wasn’t all doom and gloom as together they welcomed her beloved son, Lennon.

Patsy couldn’t prouder of her boy, who is forging a career as a musician and model.

Lennon moved back in with his mum last year, and the actress told The Sun that they are incredible close, and even share clothes.

“He raids my wardrobe, too. Quite a few items have ended up in his room – jackets, scarves, shirts, a whole plethora of things,” she laughed.

“Lennon’s sense of fashion is something he had from a very young age.

“He was doing an interview the other day and he was asked where he got his style from and he said: ‘My mum’, which I was thrilled about!

“He started modelling when he was 15 when [stylist and fashion editor] Katie Grand, who is one of my oldest friends, suggested doing a shoot, then it just really took off.”

Lennon has since modelled in campaigns for Burberry and Saint Laurent and is also in a band, while James is an artistic director who has worked with the Arctic Monkeys.

SUPPORTING DAD

Tonight, Lennon will watch his dad perform in Oasis, for the first time as adult.

Speaking to this month’s W Magazine, Lennon said: “I can’t wait… It’s a massive, monumental thing, it’s going to be fantastic.”

He also revealed how, along with Noel’s daughter Anais, he will attend every Oasis gig.

Meanwhile, Oasis fans lucky enough to bag at ticket to tonight’s first gig of the tour are in for a treat.

It was revealed that Liam and Noel have already been rehearsing at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, ahead of this evening’s concert.

A source told the Mail: “Rehearsals started on Monday, just the tech and band.

“Liam and Noel arrived on Wednesday, but Liam left the rehearsals after just eight songs for Noel to carry on by himself.”

ROY Keane couldn’t help but crack up while auditioning for his new job of being a comedic actor.

The renowned hardman stars in an advert encouraging people who’ve never been to a League of Ireland game to give it a try.

Keane has to get creative to take in a Cork City match at Turners Cross[/caption]

And producers Rockshore have now released a blooper reel from his day of filming.

In it, the 53-year-old doesn’t seem to have found the repetitive process of reading out lines over and over again too tiresome as he cracks up at several moments.

Rockshore captioned the amusing insight: “Swear I saw a smile there once or twice!”

As for the ad itself, Keano shows his comedic chops as he tries his best to attend a City match despite being turned away at the gate.

The script even includes a joke about his height as he pleads with two other fans to let him get in front for a better view from the adjoining pub since he’s short enough that he won’t obscure their view.

The advert is suitably aided by the musical accompaniment of The Frank and Walters’ hit song “After All” which is a beloved tune on Leeside.

Rockshore are invested in the success of the League of Ireland as the league’s official beer sponsor.

So it all adds up that their video implores casual Irish football fans to make the effort to attend a match in person instead of solely consuming the beautiful game through their televisions.

It was captioned: “Time to show up. League of Ireland is calling.”

While it was Cobh Ramblers that the Ireland icon started his legendary career with rather than Cork’s other team, he’s become a regular enough visitor to Turners Cross whenever he’s home.

In the case of Ger Nash’s team in particular, they could do with all of the help they can get.

Despite him taking over from Tim Clancy in May, their results and performances have arguably gotten worse as they sit rooted to the bottom of the Premier Division with just 15 points from 22 games.

Amazingly, their last outing was their first clean sheet of the campaign as they dug out a point in a scoreless draw at home to St Pat’s.

It proved another acrimonious night at Turners Cross, but Bohemians lifted the mood by drawing late with Sligo Rovers. Bottom of the table, the Leesiders are four — rather than six — points adrift of Rovers.

If it proves to be Tein Troost’s final game as City keeper, he at least signed off with a first shut-out and saved from Brandon Kavanagh late on.

City’s winless streak extended to 11 games while Saints have not won in their last five as they remain sixth. Stephen Kenny’s men have netted just once in that stretch.

Nash called for unity in his programme notes after the supporter unrest that mired their Drogheda United draw.

But play was paused midway through the first half as objects were thrown from the Shed End amid a plume of black smoke.

Fans chanted in opposition to the club ownership as a banner was unfurled that read, ‘Sold the dream, living a nightmare’.

Trump has been attending UFC events for the best of 25 years and even hosted a card – UFC 30 at the Trump Taj Mahal – in February 2001.

Reflecting on his relationship with the President in an interview with Tucker Carlson, White said: “This guy has been so good to me it’s unexplainable.

“He’s been a very good friend to me since the day I met him.

“When we bought this company it had such a bad stigma attached to it and the sport that we couldn’t even get into venues, they didn’t want us.

“Donald Trump saw that this thing could possibly be big.

“Plus he’s a sports guy who loves sports, and he offered us to come do the event at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.

“He cut us a very fair deal and we went down there and did two events with him where he showed up for the first fight and stayed until the last fight.

“Imagine back then; Trump brand is way up, UFC brand is way down, but he took us in and he was great.”

BOWLING For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick has revealed his struggle with a painful health condition that’s forced him to cancel gigs.

Sharing a selfie from a business class seat on a plane, Jaret gave his Instagram followers a candid update about his condition – and the emotional toll it’s taken.

He wrote: “I fell off the wagon. Many of you have been asking about my health and I appreciate it so much. Truth is, the Ulcerative Colitis flare since March has really taken the wind out of my sail. I had to cancel shows, vacation plans, drs appts, and the list goes on.”

Jaret added that the medication used to manage his symptoms has come with its own challenges.

He said: “The steroids make me irritable and ravenous. And I hate both those things!! My support system has been so gracious in dealing with all of it.”

The singer, who’s been open about his health journey in the past, kindly asked fans to hold back on unsolicited medical advice.

Jared continued: “I do not need your advice. I’m under several dr’s care, but I know it’s social media and you want me to do what you think is best. You don’t know me and you don’t know my health. But thank you.”

Despite the setbacks, Jaret said he’s finally starting to feel better — and has no plans to slow down.

He said: “I’m doing what I can and I’m finally feeling better. This has been a tough year, but also one of the best years of my life. And one of the best years for all things Jaret Reddick!

“Out of the 40 pounds I lost, I gained back 3. I earned it! Haha

It was only back in January that guitar player Chris Burney quit Bowling For Soup after 30 years.

The band revealed the news after seven months of the pop punk trio being forced to play as a trio.

They decided to continue as a three-piece and not replace Chris, 55, as he concentrates on his health.

A statement on Bowling For Soup’s Instagram read: “To All Our Amazing Bowling For Soup Fans…

“It is with a heavy heart we announce that Chris Burney has made the decision to retire from his stage-right post in the band he co-founded in 1994.

“Some recent medical developments, 30 years of rocking balls and touring non-stop have made it difficult to continue. We are bummed to not have Chris by our sides, but absolutely support his decision.

“The three of us will carry on, with Chris’ Blessing, and continue to build the legacy of this band we all love so much. We will not be replacing Chris or touring with a touring guitarist. You cannot replace a legend. We were brothers when we started this journey…and brothers we remain.

“See you at the shows and in your ears.”

Speaking about the decision, frontman Jaret told K!: “He and I started this band 30 years ago, almost 31 now, and at one point, he was kind of the face of the band.

“I can’t say it enough: we wouldn’t be us, or where we are, without him.”

AN ANGRY homeowner has blasted his next-door-neighbour for the huge pile of rubbish that’s taking over their garden.

The frustrated man took to social media to show off his neighbour’s patio, with the floor barely visible as a result of piles and piles of waste.

A man has shared his disgust at the huge pile of rubbish in his neighbour’s garden[/caption]

Irritated by the jaw-dropping eyesore, which he can see when looking out of his window, the anonymous man uploaded a picture of the shocking mess.

Posting on Reddit on the r/BadNeighbors thread, the man wrote under the username @pigeonmanO_o and simply penned: “This is my neighbours’ garden.

“It’s literally just trash.”

Not only is this man’s neighbour’s garden full with endless black bin bags exploding with recycling, but there’s even a broken chest of drawers, a swimming pool full of shopping bags, an old mattress and a broken fan.

There’s also takeaway boxes, McDonald’s cups, beer cans, camp chairs and garden tools. 

And as well as being a total state, the Reddit poster then claimed: “They refuse to clean it.”

But if you thought that was bad, think again, as the man also acknowledged that his neighbour’s dogs are eating from the endless bin bags of waste.

He admitted: “What’s worse is that they have two dogs who are always eating from that heap of trash.” 

Eager to get the mess cleared up, the man confessed: “They rent it so I called the owner and they should sort it out.”

Reddit users were left totally stunned by the wasteland, which some described as resembling a “landfill” site. 

Users raced to the comments to express their thoughts on the neglected space, with many labelling it a “health violation” and “fire hazard”. 

One person said: “That’s just disgusting, that will attract all kinds of rodents… call your state or county office on them.

“Not sure where you live or in what country but still that’s a health risk.” 

Another added: “Holy mother of god this is probably the worst thing I’ve seen here.” 

A third commented: “You’ve got yourself a hoarder next door. That sucks.”

Meanwhile someone else gasped: “Is this not a health violation?

And I thought my neighbours were bad. This is crazy

“This much garbage attracts pests and can endanger neighbours. As well as being a fire hazard.” 

At the same time, another homeowner simply shared: “Looks like landfill.” 

Whilst one user penned: “And I thought my neighbours were bad. This is crazy.”

A MAN took a £1.4K gamble buying a storage container with no idea what was inside – only to find it full of rare Pokémon merch worth up to £58K.

Wade Venture, 39, snapped up the 10ft by 20ft storage unit in an online auction – with little idea of what was inside.

To his surprise, it contained 1,000 rare Pokémon cards, old PlayStations, Xboxes, and Nintendo 64s as well as retro console games.

Wade has started selling the items and has already flogged five percent of the Pokémon cards for £4.3k – putting him £2.9k in profit so far.

Wade – who shares his finds online under @wadesventures – has sent some of the cards off to a grading company but estimates in total he will earn £58K from the unit.

He has flipped around 2000 units since he went full-time, including one filled with £58K worth of Nike clothes and one with designer clothes worth £51k.

Wade, a content creator, from Portland, Oregon, said: “The Pokémon find was such a good unit, it was just five minutes away from my house.

“That was such an incredibly lucky find – I had no idea what was inside.

“The [Pokémon] cards are in fantastic shape. I have around 600 of these cards.

“I sold five percent of the unit yesterday on an auction platform called WhatNots – we made little over £4.3k.

“I think we are going to make around £58k on this container when it is all sold.

“Off a £1.4k investment, that is incredible.”

Wade has been bidding on containers for the last nine years – and reckons he has flipped 2000 – earning millions of dollars.

He became inspired by the popular show Storage Wars – a show where buyers bid on storage units – and quit his corporate job as a WHAT after 11 years to go full-time flipping storage containers.

Wade said: “I was obsessed with the show Storage Wars and thought it looked like fun.

“I was working a corporate job at the time on a £146k a year salary.

“Nine years ago, I quit my job to go full-time.”

Wade said he hasn’t had constant success, and the first container he bought was the worst one he ever purchased.

But he persisted and his third container, was filled with £58k of Nike merch.

He said: “After being inspired by Storage Wars, I was intrigued and really wanted to give it a go.

“You see them getting all sorts of treasure, but the first one I bought was a really bad unit.

“It was just full of metal, which you couldn’t get any money for – it was the worst unit I have ever bought.

“I persisted, and my third unit was in Oregon; it was filled with vintage Nike, and I made £58k off it.”

In total, Wade estimates he has bought 2,000 units, earning him millions of dollars.

So far this year, he and his wife, Ashley, 38, who flips storage units with him, are on track to surpass a million dollars.

Wade said: “Last year we earned half a million — I have earned millions of dollars since I started.

“This year, we are on pace to do a million this year.

“You don’t get home runs all the time, but containers like the Pokémon one are where we earn the most money.”

The Pokémon unit contained around 1,000 vintage cards, over 60 game consoles and retro video games.

He said: “I’m not a complete Pokémon guy, but this unit was incredible.

“They had the first edition Pokémon cards – there were probably over 1,000 of them.

“We found boxes filled with game consoles – I reckon there were 60 of them in total.”
