One exhibitionist going by the name Jimmy on a members-only swingers site posted: 'Anyone up for meets with me and my lady? Advertisement 11 Liam and Noel Gallagher hand-in-hand in Cardiff after Oasis' reunion tour's opening night Credit: Getty ' 'That could be a laff. Email for deets.' Another swinger, who had the rather unoriginal user name Sex-Time, said he was up for it and responded: 'He's on tour with Oasis so we won't get caught.' The rest of the messages are too saucy to share, but you get my drift. Advertisement Read more on Liam Gallagher I'm pretty sure Liam's adorable rescue dog Buttons would make short work of anyone who dared to get down and dirty anywhere near Council bores But if I was him, I'd definitely be beefing up my home security. Liam and his brother Noel are now enjoying a few rest days before their Wembley shows with their bandmates Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and American drummer Joey Waronker. The band will play five shows at Wembley over the next fortnight, then head off to Edinburgh and Ireland before returning for two final gigs in September.

Advertisement And I've no doubt that the same boost will have come to Manchester, after three Joseph Holt pubs — the ones closest to Heaton Park — told me they poured more than 100,000 pints during the course of the five shows. That's not counting all the drinks and food sold by vendors on site, nor the hotels, which saw customers from all over the world staying with them to watch the lads in action. Oasis fever is going to hit the capital from tomorrow night — and I for one cannot wait. 11 Randy swingers are planning to have sex in Liam Gallagher's garden Advertisement SAMIRA'S IN A NEW CARDI 11 Samira Mighty is ready to take on the mantle of party-loving pop star Credit: Supplied 11 The former Love Islander has dropped her steamy summer banger Cardio Credit: Supplied WITH The former Love Islander has today dropped her steamy summer banger Cardio, and she reckons it will be raising temperatures on the dancefloor.

'Cardio is all about being like a dominant, sexy girl. And I think I'm coming into my sexy girl era now. 'With stuff like Advertisement Cardio is packed full of racy lyrics but Samira was surprised to find that even her parents were fans of the tune. But she reckons they may have been less keen if they had seen her acting out some of the song's raunchy lines when she was on Love Island in 2018. This year's series has shown far more bedroom antics, and she said: 'Oh my God, my grandma would disown, my dad would disown. 'I'd be living somewhere else. Advertisement 'It would be bad.' As an actress, Samira is juggling her music with a gruesome role in new Brit horror movie Bambi: The Reckoning – which is not for the faint-hearted. After seeing a clip she said: 'I was shocked. 'I've never seen myself cut in half by Bambi, but my character was annoying anyway. Advertisement 'She deserved it.' Ouch. ALICIA CLUELESS?

The actress put on Cher's famous yellow checked co-ord and recreated an iconic scene from the film with a very special twist. She went through the motions of the scene in the movie where Cher is seen walking along, inset, before a man jumps out of nowhere and puts his arm around her and she shouts: 'As if!' But this time it wasn't an unknown teen trying to approach her, but her 20-year-old son Bear. Advertisement Sharing the reel with her 3.1 million Instagram followers, Alicia wrote on Instagram: 'Entering Clueless's 30th anniversary weekend like . . .' Fans can head to the Trafalgar Theatre in London for the West End version of the film now. I can't think of a better way to celebrate.

'When you're in it, you focus on the choreography, all these different elements. Advertisement 'Being able to take a back seat and being more of a visionary of the bigger picture, it's really a special thing.' Actress Jess Folley takes on Christina's role as Ali in the stage version, with the Dirrty singer heaping praise on her, adding: 'She is doing such a magnificent, magnificent job and likewise inspires me as well.' DRAKE CREW'S CHICKEN RAPS 11 Drake performs on the final night of his Wireless Festival takeover Credit: Getty 11 The Hotline Bling star splashed out £3,327.25 on nosh for his crew Credit: Supplied Advertisement HE might have let down fans with a rather short performance on the final night of his Wireless Festival takeover. But the 400-strong team who joined Insiders tell me that when the US rapper headed to Birmingham for a trio of shows there, he spent £3,327.25 on nosh for his crew. Drake called a local branch of American chain Dave's Hot Chicken to put in his order, which included £1,059.80 on 60 medium spice sliders and £529.90 on 30 hot spice sliders. Advertisement If that wasn't enough, he also paid £739.80 for 60 boxes of chicken tenders, along with £299.75 for French fries, 100 pots of Mac N Cheese at £349 and 100 portions of kale slaw for the same price. Drake chose to order from Dave's Hot Chicken after investing in the chain back in 2021, but as his receipt proves, he didn't even get a discount. I'm outraged he forgot a few tubs of Dave's sauce. That stuff is addictive.

Opening up about her kids Moses and Apple influencing her music choices, Gwyneth said: 'They teach me about new acts a lot. 'My son is always teaching me about cool new bands like this one band called Royel Otis that I'm obsessed with. Advertisement 'Apple has got me into French indie pop. 'I learn something from these guys every day.' But, much to her kids' horror, Gwyneth does still like a golden oldie. Asked on her Goop podcast if there was anything she liked that was uncool, she replied as quick as a flash: 'Phil Collins. Advertisement 'I love Phil Collins.' Must be something in the air. WITH LULU four years off turning 80, she says she's now stopped giving a toss what people think and has started to let loose. Speaking on stage at a concert at Englefield House, Berks, the Scots singer, said: 'As I've got to 76 I've become reckless and let it all hang out. Advertisement 'Every gig is special to me – more and more so as I get older. 'I've always loved it and appreciated it, but there's an extra level of appreciation there, because how lucky am I to be here with you? 'I could be at home cleaning up after lunch, washing the bloody dishes or something – but I'd much rather do this.' I'm sure the sight of Lulu in a pair of marigolds would be thrilling for some . . .

And Ed Sheeran isn't ready to put his feet up just yet. The Azizam singer has announced a brand new tour, Loop, which will see him hitting the road again in the new year. Ed said: 'New stage, new tricks, new set-up, new songs and all the classics added in.

WATCH: Jedward prep for Oasis gigs with homage Noel and Liam 'would hate'
Jedward have equally amused and horrified fans after they dressed up as Noel and Liam Gallagher. The (non-twin) brothers in Noel and Liam are currently in the middle of their reunion tour, the first in 16 years since the band's explosive break-up in 2009. With the iconic band set to head to Croke Park in August, music's second favourite brothers in John and Edward showed their Instagram followers their new dos; and gone are their iconic blond coifs, in their place being short brown haircuts a la Noel and Liam. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JEDWARD (@jepicpics) John and Edward showed off their new haircuts and outfits, which were similar to the ones that the brothers Gallagher wore during the photoshoot announcing their reunion as they sang Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger; cleverly dubbing themselves 'Joasis.' Fans of Jedward and Oasis thought the parody was incredible/bizarre, with fans having the exact same reaction as to what Noel and Liam would think of the homage. 'I just know Liam and Noel would hate this and I need to see the reaction,' one person commented, while another added 'I know [Noel and Liam] would hate this, which is why it's so perfect.' Jedward challenged their inner Liam and Noel Gallagher as they became 'Joasis' ahead of the band's gig in Croke Park. Pic: Jedward/Instagram Cian Twomey also enjoyed the parody, commenting 'Thank you both,' while another summed up the video perfectly: commenting 'Jaysus.' As for Oasis, Noel and Liam wrapped up their five-night residency in their native Manchester on Sunday, when they played to tens of thousands of their locals in Heaton Park. They're beginning their next five night stretch in Wembley on Friday (July 25), before heading to Murrayfield in Edinburgh. Then, it's our turn as the band head to Croke Park on August 16 and 17 for two sold out gigs; with fans snapping up tickets in controversial fashion after Ticketmaster jacked up 'in demand' ticket prices and 'dynamic' pricing due to the stratospheric demand. Oasis reunited earlier this year. Pic: Samir Hussein/WireImage They then play Canada and the US before playing two more nights in Wembley in September, before they head to the far east where they'll play in South Korea and Japan, and then Australia before wrapping up in South America — when they'll play in Argentina and Chile before wrapping up in November in Brazil.
