Hilarious moment Oasis fan was convinced Vinted seller scammed him out of £116 football jersey with a hand-drawn cheap PE shirt
An Oasis fan was left Crying His Heart Out after a prank had him believing he was scammed after buying a £116 football shirt with the band's branding on Vinted. The shopper, Charlie, who wanted to bask in the Gallagher brothers' comeback with the pricey purchase, couldn't believe it as he unwrapped what was meant to be an Adidas 'Jacquard jersey' - a well known high quality fabric - inspired by retro kits. Instead, he pulled out a cheap baby blue baby tee with the logo, collar and side-stripes drawn on in felt tip. It is not known how much the 'Madferit', who can be seen tearing into the parcel in a TikTok shared by user @leanneloco, paid for it, but the screenshot shared lists the price at £116.20 with Buyer Protection included. The clip, which saw his mother open the package and swap it over for a scribbled PE top, racked up more than 3.9 million views as many were undoubtedly left in stitches at his dismayed expression. However, it looks like the buyer was quick on the joke as he swiftly started smiling at the M&S 'dupe'. The original on the sports company's site retails for £85, but is currently sold out. It is touted as a 'world tour essential that you'll keep coming back to', which 'helps keep you comfortable all day long'. It's bound to be a special time for Charlie, whose mother also documented Charlie's excited reaction after getting him Oasis tickets after 10 months in a video from last month. Meanwhile, amid the group's highly-anticipated comeback, fans have been all over the videos of the musicians' reunion tour - as Liam Gallagher 's sweary remark to his brother Noel as they took to the stage in Manchester has been revealed. The Gallagher brothers are currently touring the UK for Oasis' long-awaited reunion and took to the stage at Manchester's Heaton Park on July 19 and 20. And it appeared that the siblings were overwhelmed upon performing in their hometown as their conversation before arriving on stage has been unveiled. Video footage showed the pair having a chat in the wings before arriving on stage holding hands, and they appeared stunned by the reaction from their fellow Mancs. According to The Sun 's lipreader Nicola Hickling, Liam, 52, turned to Noel, 58, and said: 'F***ing hell, noisy innit.' To which Noel replied: 'Yeah, yeah,' before Liam added: 'Hear that?' as he appeared stunned by the raucous crowds eagerly awaiting their arrival on stage. The brothers then walked on stage holding hands as they performed in their native Manchester for the first time in more than 15 years.

The brothers pictured in 1995 The Gallagher brothers are currently touring the UK for Oasis' long-awaited reunion and were overwhelmed at the reaction in Manchester (they are pictured in Cardiff at their first show) Elsewhere at their Heaton Park shows, Liam made a cheeky jibe at Coldplay for exposing a cheating couple at their concert. Andy Byron, former CEO of software firm Astronomer, was caught up in a scandal when he was filmed on a Coldplay kiss cam with his arms around the company's chief people officer Kristin Cabot at the band's Boston Gillette Stadium gig. After the controversy, Liam reassured Oasis fans there wouldn't any of that 'snidey s***' at his gig as he reassured couples they would be safe from any cameras. Speaking to the crowd at one of their shows in Heaton Park, Manchester, the 52-year-old said: 'Right then, do we have any love birds in the house? 'Don't worry we ain't got any of that Coldplay snidey f***ing camera sh*t. 'Doesn't matter to us who you're mingling with - or tingly with, fing**ing with, none of our f***ing business.' As he moved onto the next song, the singer added: 'This one's for the lovebirds anyway.' The viral clip from the Coldplay concert featured frontman Chris Martin panning his 'kiss cam' around the audience before landing on one pair, who looked horrified. As they hid from view, the singer quipped: 'Oh, look at these two - either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' The moment has become one of the biggest viral moments of the year since it was recorded last Thursday - and an online frenzy was sparked as people raced to identify the sheepish pair while making jokes about their reactions to being spotted. It was soon reported that Byron and Cabot are each married to other people, but are each registered at different addresses to their spouses. CEO Byron then resigned from the billion-dollar company on Saturday in a statement after being placed on leave. Confirming his resignation in a statement, the company said: 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the statement said. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' 'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not,' they added. 'We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.'

Tiger Woods watches son Charlie at US Junior Amateur in Dallas
TIGER Woods made his first public appearance since Achilles surgery, watching his son Charlie compete at the US Junior Amateur at Brook Hollow Golf Club. The 15-time major champion, still recovering from a ruptured left Achilles tendon, followed Charlie during the opening round. Charlie Woods carded an 11-over par 81 in the first round, placing him tied for 242nd. His round included two birdies, five bogeys, and four double bogeys. Tiger, who has not played competitively since last year's British Open, has no confirmed return date to the PGA Tour. The elder Woods, a three-time US Junior Amateur champion himself (1991-1993), remains tied with Sam Snead for the most PGA Tour wins (82). The tournament format includes 36 holes of stroke play before narrowing to 64 players for match play. - AFP

Tiger Woods on hand to watch son Charlie compete in 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur in Dallas
Tiger Woods was back in the public eye Monday watching son Charlie compete in the opening round of the 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur. It was one of Woods' first public appearances since March, when he had surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon, an injury that has sidelined him since. He last competed professionally in the 2024 British Open more than a year ago, missing the cut at Royal Troon. He and Charlie competed in the PNC Championship last December, losing in a playoff to Team Langer. Charlie shot 11-over 81 in the first round at stroke-play co-host Brook Hollow in Dallas, the more difficult of the two courses on the opening day. He closed each of his 9s with birdies but had three doubles to offset the pair of circles. Tuesday morning, he'll head to Trinity Forest and have to put together a stellar round to have any shot at making the cut, where he sits nine strokes behind as of Monday evening. Woods famously won the U.S. Junior three consecutive times from 1991-93 before rattling off thrice U.S. Amateur titles from 1994-96. He has since won three U.S. Opens, and with nine USGA titles is arguably the most decorated athlete in USGA history. Next year, he'll become eligible for the U.S. Senior Open. Charlie is making his second appearance in the U.S. Junior. He missed the cut last year at Oakland Hills in Michigan. Last month, Charlie won the Team TaylorMade Invitational at Streamsong Resort's Black Course, an AJGA event featuring most of the top juniors in the country. He then qualified for the U.S. Junior after shooting 1-under 71 in his Florida qualifier before winning a 3-for-1 playoff to nab the final of five spots. Of the nearly 30 players to finish under par in the opening round of the U.S. Junior, only two played at Brook Hollow. Kailer Stone and China's Qiyou Wu shae the lead after opening 5-under 66s at Trinity Forest, which is hosting its first USGA event.

Rarely performed Lorraine Hansberry play attests once again to the playwright's genius
In a fictional African country, a prodigal son returns home from his white wife in Europe, hoping to say goodbye to his dying father. Instead, Tshembe finds himself in the crossfire of a colonial 'emergency,' what whites call their own violence. His wayward brothers are no help, and an obnoxious American journalist spouts a lot of easy-for-him-to-say ideas about how Tshembe ought to live his life. Such is the heavy, heady milieu of Lorraine Hansberry's 'Les Blancs,' which was incomplete when she died in 1965 at age 34 and premiered five years later with edits by her widower Robert Nemiroff. To enter the world of the play is to be smacked upside the head with its young writer's insight and imagination. She didn't just dream up characters but their whole society and history — how religion interacts with healthcare and different political factions; how centuries of white predation and plunder might push different personalities toward different choices. Oakland Theater Project's production, which I saw Sunday, July 20, adds still another layer to this thick context. Under the direction of James Mercer II, all the characters — Black, white and mixed race; male and female — are played by Black women. As Tshembe (Jeunée Simon) squares off with parachute journalist Charlie (Champagne Hughes); brother Abioseh (Brittany Sims), who's converted to the white man's religion; and colonizing soldier Major Rice (Monique Crawford), a series of thoughts might strike you. Second, how much Oakland Theater Project's cast kills it. In the role of put-upon Doctor DeKoven, Aidaa Peerzada makes every utterance a toxic brew of rage and regret. Her circumstances have eaten her to the bone, and all she has left is hunched shoulders and gritted teeth. As the notepad-toting Charlie, Hughes burlesques bumptious white masculinity — furrowed brow, thrust lower jaw, 'of course I get to be here' eyes — in a way that makes you want to tell every white man the world over that this is what he looks like, at least psychologically. Simon, in a part originated by James Earl Jones, makes clear that her character has the stuff of kings from her first entrance, when Tshembe's hoping to catch his father's last words but learns he's just missed them. Simon's face falls, then turns to ice. Something smolders inside, then gets pushed back down. She carries on, but everything around her feels heavier. Such a man could shoulder a whole nation's woes. For all these virtues, 'Les Blancs' is an easier play to admire than love. Multiple important characters — referred to often, shaping the events onstage — never appear. Scene one snatches us in medias res; history's been churning along just fine without us, and it'll keep going after the play's over, Hansberry implies. It's intricate and clever, but you feel like you're always playing catch-up. The speeches are beautiful, perceptive, as biting today as they were in 1970: 'I do not 'hate' all white men — but I desperately wish that I did. It would make everything infinitely easier!' Tshembe says. 'I have arrested gangrene, removed tumors, pulled forth babies — and, in so doing, if you will please try to understand, I have helped provide the rationale for genocide,' Dr. DeKoven laments. But as Act Two sprawls outward, 'Les Blancs' starts to feel like a civilization undoing in real time instead of a discrete, honed dramatic incident. It's epic, but in a way that doesn't energize so much as exhaust.

Bravo's Newest Reality Show Is Gen Z's Answer to The Hills
The following article contains minor spoilers for Next Gen: NYC. Charlie and Georgia are having a fight at a Sichuan restaurant on the Upper East Side over a cheap pair of speakers. Charlie is 29 years old and allegedly receiving a $10K-a-month allowance from his private investor father whom he describes as Logan Roy incarnate. Georgia is 22 years old and uses a laptop instead of a phone and once threw a party for Anna Delvey when she was on house arrest. Charlie calls Georgia 'dirt poor.' Georgia calls Charlie a 'piece of shit.' No, this is not a Bret Easton Ellis novel. This is Next Gen: NYC, Bravo's newest series and my latest reality-TV obsession. The cast has been meticulously selected. Elsewhere on the roster is pansexual OnlyFans model Dylan, who wears a 'God is Trans' top and thinks men bond when they punch each other. Model Ava is the daughter of Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash and fashion designer Rachel Roy, while Emira is an influencer-slash-model-slash-TikToker. And then there are all the children of various Real Housewives: Ariana and Riley, both of whom have been on camera since they were seven; Gia Giudice, whose mom famously flipped a table on The Real Housewives of New Jersey and once went to prison on fraud charges; and Brooks and Chloe Marks, whose parents are on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Everyone is in their 20s and living off trust funds and burning through thousands of dollars a night at the Box in SoHo.
