Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais using TikTok to pick popular songs for tour setlist
SOME might say comeback boys Oasis need to move with the times ahead of their reunion gigs this summer.
But I'm hearing Noel and Liam Gallagher are already doing just that — by consulting their children over which hits to play for their upcoming Oasis Live '25 tour.
11
I'm told Noel's 25-year-old daughter Anais has been picking out Oasis tracks popular on TikTok — the Gen Z app of choice.
A source said: 'TikTok has the power to bring songs from the Nineties and Noughties back to the mainstream.
"Lesser-known tracks by Oasis, including Bonehead's Bank Holiday and Talk Tonight, are being shared on the app among the younger generation.
'Noel and Liam love that some of their less famous songs are being talked about on TikTok.'
Meanwhile Anais, who boasts 160,600 followers on TikTok, often uses Oasis tracks to accompany videos she shares on the platform.
The model and photographer — whose mum is Noel's ex Meg Mathews — filmed one clip of her applying lip gloss, to the 1995 Oasis track She's Electric.
She has also shared a video of herself lip-synching to the band's 1994 song Digsy's Dinner — captioned: 'Silly song.'
Speaking about the track, from album Definitely Maybe, she said: 'It's definitely not my favourite.'
Noel previously revealed Anais loved the band's 2002 tune Little By Little, from their album Heathen Chemistry.
'Dream opener'
Before playing the song during a gig at London's O2 in 2012, Noel told the audience: 'I'm dedicating this to my daughter — she said it was her favourite song when she was nine.''
It would seem Anais is also a huge fan of Oasis song Talk Tonight — after she got up on stage with her rocker pal Yungblud to give an impromptu rendition of the 1995 track, in a video posted by a fan in 2023.
Liam and Noel recently teased their 3.6million social media followers with a cryptic Instagram post about potential songs for their comeback tour. It hinted at tracks Supersonic, Rock 'N' Roll Star, Bring
It On Down, Champagne Supernova and Better Man — scribbled out and replaced with Songbird.
In the caption, the brothers asked fans: 'Less than two months to go. What's your dream opener?'
Oasis will kick off their sold-out tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on July 4.
That certainly ought to be one hell of a night.
Gallagher Googlebox office hit
OASIS brothers Liam and Noel on the same sofa together would be one historic TV coup.
It now seems Channel 4 bosses are scheming just that – by doing whatever it takes to get the previously war-ring pair to appear on Gogglebox.
A source said: 'It would be TV gold and producers are pulling out all the stops to make it happen.'
Noel was previously on a celebrity edition of the show as part of a Stand Up To Cancer charity night in 2014 alongside models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.
Liam then teamed up with their mum Peggy and his singer son Gene for a special episode to raise money for the same charity in 2017.
If Channel 4 get Noel and Liam, I will definitely be glued to my telly.
Harry's gutted
HARRY REDKNAPP has revealed he is gutted for David Beckham after his 50th birthday celebrations were snubbed by son Brooklyn.
Speaking to me during the Football For Peace gala, Harry said: 'I like David and I don't know what is happening, really.
'I love David, he's a great lad, he's done fantastic for England.'
Asked if the snub was a shame, he said: 'Yeah. 'David's a family man – him and Posh [Victoria Beckham] – their family is everything.'
MILEY CYRUS has reunited with dad Billy Ray to celebrate her brother Braison's birthday.
The Flowers hitmaker was seen with her arms around her boyfriend Maxx Morando, alongside her country singer dad and sibling.
Billy Ray shared the post on Instagram, captioned: 'Happy Birthday Braison.'
It looks like Billy's new girlfriend Liz Hurley could be helping mend the Cyrus family feud following his divorce from Miley's mum Tish in 2022.
Bandit boxing clever
CLEAN BANDIT are trying to land a certain British boxing star to feature in their new music video.
Singer and cellist Grace Chatto hopes to persuade the slugger to help promote their trance-inspired hit Tell Me Where You Go.
The band's main songwriter Jack Patterson was inspired to pen the song with DJ Tiesto and German artist Leony after a therapist asked him where his mind goes to.
Chatting to Biz on Sunday's Emily, Grace said: 'I really want this boxer to be in it.
'I have asked and said: 'Would you ever consider acting in a music video?'
'He said: 'It depends which music video. '
'They would be the perfect fit. When I hear this song I just see him in the video – there is one line in the song that alludes to boxing.
'It is about striving to be the best version of yourself, and a film about a sportsman is perfect and fits with the music.'
I reckon my money is on Tyson Fury.
Tour will be Eternal joy to girl band fans
11
THEY are the original Nineties girl band, with a string of hits including I Wanna Be The Only One.
Now I can reveal British R&B group Eternal are planning a UK headline tour.
Sisters Vernie and Easther Bennett, with new bandmate Christel Lakhdar, decided to hit the road after wowing fans at London's Scala on April 30.
A source said: 'A full UK headline tour was already on the table, but it's now inevitable after that huge success.
'The sisters wanted to see the crowd's reaction before committing to a full UK tour. But hearing and seeing a sell-out Scala sing every song has convinced them to sign on the dotted line.'
It comes after the band cancelled a planned reunion tour in 2023 following allegations of a bitter row over transgender rights.
Bandmates Kelle Bryan and Louise Redknapp pulled out amid a clash with Easther and Vernie – but Eternal's team have denied claims they refused to perform at Pride events over the row.
A source in the group's camp said: 'They would love to perform at Pride events, and their management have been in discussions, but the sisters and organisers are worried over a possible backlash after the anti-trans claims.'
Tassel do nicely Beyonce
BEYONCE was every inch the country music star as she performed in Los Angeles on her Cowboy Carter Tour.
The Texas Hold 'Em singer dazzled in white hotpants, jewelled chaps and a tasselled jacket on the last of her five-night run at the SoFi Stadium on Friday.
And Bey was even given the royal stamp of approval as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted enjoying the concert in a VIP lounge.
Well, she is Queen B . . .
Love Isle Iain overcooked his roast
HE keeps fans entertained narrating Love Island, but it seems comic Iain Stirling had an off-day filming his new TV show.
The comic threw a strop performing in front of a live audience for Comedy Central's Roast The Internet because they weren't laughing at his jokes.
Iain branded Tuesday's crowd at Elstree Studios 'old and weird' and accused them of being 'disappointed they weren't on Loose Women'.
He then had a pop at the daytime telly show's Denise Welch – recalling a time he'd bumped into her, saying: 'She looked at me like I was mental. And she is mental.'
How rude, Iain. At the end, he apologised to viewers and celebrity guests, including TV presenter Vogue Williams, adding: 'This is why I don't have any friends.
"I've lost my mind. I was trying to be funny.'
An onlooker said: 'It was really uncomfortable.'
Maybe you need a day off, Iain.
Aimee's white hot role
11
FRESH from her red carpet moment at the Met Gala last week Aimee Lou Wood has jetted to the UK to start work on a big-money advert.
I can reveal the British actress, snapped yesterday vaping in Central London, shot the top-secret campaign with White Lotus co-star Patrick Schwarzenegger.
The pair were filmed dancing for an ad for US mobile payment service Venmo.
A source on set said: 'Aimee and Patrick might be big stars now but they were really chilled and got on with the job in hand.
'The gig involved them doing a silly dance and they had a laugh doing it. It's amazing how many opportunities are coming their way since the series – the world is their oyster.'
Opening up about her experience at the Met Gala in New York last week, Aimee confessed Patrick calmed her nerves at the A-list fashion event.
She said: 'I found out that Patrick and I could go in the car together, because originally we weren't meant to go in the car together, so we made it work.
'It feels amazing. It feels so special, and yeah, I'm glad that this is my first Met. It feels so wonderful and yeah, it feels like the perfect first Met.'
Aimee managed to go unrecognised as she dressed down in jeans and had a cheeky vape in the Bank area of the capital.
Make hay while the sun shines, chaps . . .
Bebe's tunes on flute
BEBE REXHA had a go on the decks, and the booze, at Beaches Tropicana festival in Hollywood.
The US singer raised a flute glass to the party as she gave a live performance and DJ set, and was joined on stage by singer pal Natasha Bedingfield. Cheers, Bebe.
PETE TONG only agreed to play the Isle of Wight Festival because he was promised it wouldn't rain, the event's organiser has revealed.
The DJ and his Essential Orchestra brought the sound of Ibiza to Seaclose Park in 2022 on the condition that it stayed dry.
Promoter John Giddings said: 'Pete Tong and his orchestra wouldn't go on because it had rained before.
'I had to guarantee them it wouldn't rain during their show, because one of them had a Stradivarius. I thought, 'F*** me, you are playing a British festival and you are working on the principle that it is never going to rain'.
'I said, 'I will guarantee you it won't rain'. I figured if I got them on stage, I wouldn't let them off. Thank God it didn't rain.'
Hopefully John can guarantee sunshine this year. I can't wait.
James love life goals
JAMES NORTON is one of the most eligible men in Britain – and it seems the Happy Valley actor is back on the dating scene after splitting from Prada model and aspiring artist Charlotte Rose Smith.
They were seen together last November – after he broke off his engagement with actress Imogen Poots – but now he is back on celebrity dating app Raya, where he reveals that he is based in London.
James previously told how his role in West End show A Little Life took a toll on him, saying: 'I gave over my life for six months. But if the work starts to compromise one's relationships, it can become unhealthy.
'Suddenly you realise you haven't left any space for other people so I was p***ed off with that.'
Hopefully he'll get his happily-ever-after.

Virgin Hotel London-Shoreditch review: Branson's bold new pad with a rooftop pool
Number 45 Curtain Road seems to have more lives than the proverbial cat. In the past decade alone it has been the Curtain boutique hotel, then the Mondrian. Now it's Richard Branson's first London hotel, set in a vibey faux-industrial Shoreditch space that wouldn't look out of place in New York's Meatpacking District, with its red brick and Crittall window exterior. Inside, it has had the Virgin treatment: a red carpet entrance in the lobby, Smeg fridges the colour of lipstick and terracotta-toned headboards in the rooms. The social spaces channel the playfulness of the Virgin brand very nicely. Downstairs is the fun Hidden Grooves, a listening bar with plenty of vinyl; on the roof is the London outpost of the Ibiza beach club Blue Marlin and a puny, poseur-y pool. Staff are welcoming, helpful and trendy, ready to dole out intel about the best neighbourhood spots. This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Score 8/10'Chambers', as they are known in Virgin speak, all come with postbox-red doors and brass knockers. There are 120 of them, ranging from chamber kings, the smallest rooms at a compact 22 sq m, to the so-called Sir Richard's penthouse flat, the blockbuster option with entertainment space that's a mainstay in all Virgin hotels. In the middle are grand chambers and 13 other suites, some of which occupy the building's corners and therefore have a lovely street aspect. The sixth-floor rooms come with generous terraces for people-watching in this trendiest of postcodes. All rooms have the signature Virgin lounge bed, inspired by Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class plane seats, with a fabric nook at each corner so guests can prop themselves up, plus homely additions such as hand-woven rugs from the Eve Branson Foundation, which supports female Moroccan artisans. Bathrooms in all categories have luxurious steam showers and stylish all-white design; only the suites have a roll-top bath in the bedroom. The one-bedroom suites come with sofa beds for children but, while smaller guests are welcomed, the vibe is firmly adult. Score 7/10Hidden Grooves is part mid-century listening bar — guests can play their own records on the two Technics turntables — and part Virgin memorabilia shrine (spot the picture of a young Branson at a Virgin Megastore). It's a handsome space. The bar counter is snazzy green terrazzo and the bar stools are red velvet. Two giant wooden Westminster speakers are powerful enough to broadcast to actual Westminster, a few miles down the road. DJs — playing vinyl only — soundtrack the evenings, while guests order signature rosé Laurent-Perrier champagne (naturally) or cocktails inspired by bands that signed to the original Virgin records. A punk punch, inspired by the Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen, is a take on a spicy margarita (cocktails from £15). It's delicious small plates here only, ranging from the Korean fried cauliflower to sloppy sliders and tuna tartare, but order enough and you'll feel you've had a good feed. The ostentatious Blue Marlin, a members' club, takes over the seventh-floor restaurant and fairy-lit terrace (cocktails from £14). The rooftop is also where breakfast basics are served, if included in your rate: there's a small menu including a full English, avocado on toast and granola and yoghurt. If the sun's shining, this place overlooking the City's skyscrapers feels more like San Antonio than Shoreditch, particularly if you splash about in the 32C pool. Score 7/10Blue Marlin also runs the basement club space, although there's a separate entrance on nearby Scrutton Street and, as it's an external operation, guests don't automatically get access. Also underground is a decently sized, funky green-and-black-striped gym with cardio equipment and weights plus three treatment rooms — both are available to Blue Marlin members and guests. In the hipster triangle between Shoreditch High Street, Old Street and Liverpool Street. The bars and clubs of Great Eastern Street are on your doorstep, and it's a ten-minute walk to Shoreditch High Street and Liverpool Street stations. Don't stay here if you want peace and quiet. • Room-only doubles from £300• Restaurant small plates from £4• Accessible Y• Family-friendly N• Dog-friendly Y Cathy Adams was a guest of Virgin Hotels London Shoreditch (
