Liam Gallagher has hit out at BRITs host Peter Kay for his comment about him at last night’s ceremony.

Kay, 36, was the host of the show, and Noddy Holder came on to present the award for Best British Album of the Past 30 Years.

Oasis won the gong, and Gallagher, 37, came on to pick up the award on behalf of the band when he then threw his microphone into the crowd and gave his award to a member of the crowd.

When Kay returned, he said in reference to Gallagher: “Knobhead.”

However, Gallagher was obviously not impressed with Kay’s comments and recently wrote on Twitter: “Regarding Peter Kay’s comment… Listen up fat f**k as a real northerner I was brought up 2 say s**t 2 people’s faces not behind their back. Live forever LG.”

Simon Cowell thinks Ryan Seacrest will be toasting American Idol departure

Simon Cowell has said American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is probably ‘popping champagne bottles’ following news of his departure from the show.

The 50-year-old recently revealed that he will be leaving the hit US talent show at the end of the upcoming series.

Talking about host Seacrest, Cowell said: “I heard a lot of popping champagne bottles. There will be a fireworks display outside his house tonight.”

Cowell announced that his departure from the show comes as he plans to launch a US version of popular talent show The X Factor, which will air on Fox in 2011.

Mariah Carey on America’s Got Talent

As a favor to her husband, Nick Cannon, who just happens to be the host of America’s Got Talent, Mariah Carey performed on the show last week. The curvaceous singer sang her latest single ‘Obsessed’. There was something mighty off about her performance though. Mariah’s performance was very reminiscent on Britney Spears’ VMA 2007 performance – dull, disappointing and all sorts of awful. I can’t say that I’m not surprised. The song she sang is mediocre at best so I can’t really appreciate it if she performs it and I can tell that she’s singing to a backing track. I almost fell asleep watching her.

Ryan Seacrest Talks Paula Abdul

A lot of American Idol fans are feeling the sting of the news that Paula Abdul will no longer be part of the show. Ryan Seacrest recently went on his Twitter to tell us how he felt when he found out. The host said “Idol and the cast have grown with each other over the last 8 seasons..I can’t imagine the panel without puala. She’s a star @ a great friend.” Funny how he can’t even spell her name right. I wonder how Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson feel about their fellow judge leaving. I think anyone could care less about Kara DioGuardi’s thoughts on the matter.

Ryan Seacrest’s New Idol Deal

Sam — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:17:39 +0000

It was recently announced that American Idol host Ryan Seacrest has tripled his pay check with the reality show after he signed a new three year contract, making him exclusive to CKX for any TV work. CKX is the parent company of 19 Entertainment, which produces American Idol. If you are wondering how big triple is, it’s to the tune of a cool $15 million. If you do the math with the contract, Ryan just signed a $45 million deal! That may seem like a lot, but then again, he still isn’t making anything near what Simon Cowell rakes in. There’s still no word on the contracts of Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi or Paula Abdul though.

American Idol Judge Outs Adam Lambert

American Idol runner up Adam Lambert has just been outed by judge Kara DioGuardi. The judge did a taped interview for The View which aired this past Friday. During the segment, Barbara Walters asked her if she though his perceived sexuality might have influenced the audience to vote for Kris Allen. Kara replied “Well, first of all, I hope not … because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both [Lambert and Allen] had that. I don’t think that Adam [Lambert] was ever in [the closet]. I think he was always openly out.” When Barbara reaffirmed that it wasn’t the public’s perception that Adam was openly gay, Kara said “I think he was. I mean from what I’ve seen … I do. I never thought he wasn’t.” I wonder what Kara has seen that the rest of us haven’t.
