Rock star splashes thousands hiring Ned rooftop for boozy Christmas Day party

LIAM GALLAGHER celebrated Christmas Day in style with his fiancée Debbie Gwyther.

The former OASIS rocker hired the rooftop at London private members’ club The Ned for a boozy festive knees-up with his nearest and dearest.

And to make sure they were suitably well oiled, insiders told me The Ned called in extra kegs of Guinness and bottles of port.

A source said: “Liam and Debbie invited their closest family and friends to celebrate with them, and the drinks flowed non-stop.

“The party organisers called in extra supplies of booze as there was a concern they could run dry.

“Liam’s kids were with their mums so he and Debbie really let their hair down.

What is Christmas if you don’t need a couple of Nurofen the next day?

It was a good end of the year for Liam, who revealed in April that he was living with chronic pain due to his dodgy hips.

The Roll With It star added that he needed a double hip replacement to fix the problem which he said left him crippled with pain.

Liam said: “My hips are f***ed, I’ve got arthritis, bad.

“I went to get it checked out and my bones are mashed up. The lady was going, ‘Oh, you might need a hip operation, a replacement’.

“When the weather’s cold, my hips are like snap, crackle and pop. I need warmth.

“I can’t sleep at night for the pain, tossing and turning. So I’m on herbal sleeping tablets and they’ve saved my life. One of them, seven hours out, no pain, nothing.

“My new thing is Deep Heat. Caked myself in it on the knees and hips, the calves, then into the steam room for as long as I can handle it.”

I’m sure lashings of Christmas port would have helped ease the pain too

Sam scoots in style

Sam Smith is riding into the New Year in style.

The Unholy singer posed on a moped with a pal as they soaked up the sunshine in Thailand.

Sam revealed they had left the UK for a festive trip on Christmas Day by posing on the beach in a pair of animal print pants.

Sam has definitely got the right idea.

Kim gets santa claws out

THEY say a leopard never changes its spots, and neither does Kim Kardashian.

The reality star turned business mogul posed in an animal print outfit – complete with bustier and thigh high boots – as she enjoyed the festivities with her famous family.

Kim spent the day with her five children from her marriage to rapper Kanye West and her siblings including Khloe and Kourtney and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

Each year the family throw an over the top bash and this year was no exception – with Kourtney creating a fantasy world within her Los Angeles home for almost 100 guests.

SIA put on the entertainment in the evening and she performed a duet with Kim’s eldest daughter North – with the pair singing her 2017 song Snowman.

It is all totally ridiculous and over the top, but I would not turn down an invite if one landed on my desk.

Adele pines for wine

SHE might be one of the biggest superstars on the planet but Adele is just like us.

The Someone Like You singer said she would be hitting the bottle as soon as she wrapped her final Weekends With Adele performance before the big day.

She said: “I’m going to have a white wine as soon as I step off stage.

“If I have one now I will forget my lyrics and take my bra off or something.

“I’m going to get drunk for the first time in months.”

I hope the festive hangover isn’t too bad, Adele.

Cowell: Aisle do it my way

HE was due to get married in London over the summer but Simon Cowell now has other plans.

At the time I told how the music mogul had pencilled in plans to wed fiancée Lauren Silverman in the capital in front of a handful of their family and friends.

But Simon has revealed that the idea has gone out of the window and the pair have since decided not to plan anything to do with their big day.

Instead, they intend to marry at the drop of a hat.

In an exclusive chat, Simon said: “I like to make everything spontaneous, and doing that will make it a lot more fun.

“I don’t think we’ll be getting married in Las Vegas, but whatever we do will definitely be fun.”

Simon previously took over the specifics of the proceedings from Lauren, who he started dating in 2013, to stop it getting out of control.

He has a busy year coming up, with particular focuson his new project, StemDrop.

The songwriting platform invites wannabe musicians to send in their songs, with Swedish producer Max Martin helping Simon to try to find the next big pop star.

And it turns out the idea has been hugely popular.

Simon tells me: “We have had two million sub-missions and now somehow we have to work it out.

“So it’s definitely started and it is going great.

“We want to help young artists get a great song to co-record.

“I have already heard some early versions and they are amazing. Absolutely amazing.”

Dermot: Spongebob job left me feeling pants

Dermot Kennedy is flying high with two No1 albums and an arena tour which is quickly selling out.

But the Irish star has confessed things weren’t always as promising, because he once worked as a SpongeBob SquarePants impersonator.

Dermot, left, explained: “I worked all the silly jobs in the world to support myself. The best one was when I dressed up as SpongeBob. I was about 22, I wasn’t like 12.

“I went into SuperValu, which is essentially like Tesco, and I handed out balloons for about ten hours as SpongeBob.

I was in a costume which was exactly the width of the aisles, so if you didn’t get it right you were just knocking stuff off.

And then you’d have to pick it up as SpongeBob.

So every mistake you make, you’re still SpongeBob, so everything looks funnier.”

While Dermot can have a good laugh about it now, he admitted it was horrible at the time.

He said: “It’s so bad in there. SpongeBob was just fabric and it was brutal. The eyes in those costumes – you can’t see out of them. It was distressing.”

But on the Straight Up podcast, he said he didn’t mind doing jobs like that as he was convinced he would make it in music.

Asked if he always had confidence in where his voice would take him, the Kiss Me singer added: “Yes. I would have stopped otherwise. I’m 30 and I’ve been doing it since I was 16.”

Heaps more Garbage

GARBAGE are already working on a follow-up to their 2021 album No Gods No Masters.

Singer Shirley Manson said: “We started our eighth studio record a few weeks ago. We all still feel really excited when we get to make another record.

“I was so proud of No Gods No Masters and I still am. I knew when we finished it that this is really good, we’ve made something really, really good.

“To follow that record up is a bit of a conundrum in a way.

“Musically I know we’ll never run out of ideas.

“We get into the studio together and we jam and melodies come out and scraps of lyrics come out at the same time.”

She added on the Kyle Meredith With podcast: “I have a feeling in my gut of things I want to talk about.
