'Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. peace and love LG x,' he wrote in the apology post.
In the X post (that is still available to view via screenshots), Gallagher used the racial slur, to which one user wrote, 'liam you can't say that.' He replied, 'Why,' which was met with another user writing back, 'Cuz its racist.' The singer subsequently responded by writing, 'Behave.'
Gallagher's offensive post came shortly ahead of Oasis' long-awaited reunion tour, which will begin in Wales tomorrow. The English rock band announced the tour last September, first revealing dates for the U.K. before announcing dates in the U.S., Canada and Mexico soon after. The band recently revealed they would be releasing an accompanying film tied to the concerts as well, directed by Steven Knight.
The Gallagher brothers' relationship has been notoriously fraught in the past, with the group officially breaking up 15 years ago, making their reunion tour one of the most anticipated concert tours of 2025.
After two shows in Wales, Oasis will play 10 shows in England, three in Scotland and two in Ireland before they finally start the North American leg in Toronto on Aug. 24.

New Girlguiding badges encourage girls to laugh, share and discover
Girl guides will be rewarded for everything from sleeping and laughing to grooving and sharing their 'guiding sparkle' thanks to a range of new badges adding to and replacing traditional ones. The Girlguiding organisation has launched 72 additional badges co-designed by more than 20,000 girls and volunteers which will be introduced to girls aged four to 18 across Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. The girls will be celebrated for having a good night's sleep, critiquing food, discovering a new hobby and planning a holiday, skills including mechanics and entomology, as well as hosting a party. Broadcaster and presenter Angellica Bell has joined as an ambassador to help launch the project, saying she wants to encourage girls to tackle the many challenges they face, all while enjoying themselves. The badges – which are given to girls who complete a certain challenge to wear on their uniform – are divided into sections which encourage wellness, knowing oneself, learning and having adventures, among others. They were co-designed by around 20,000 people, including 15,000 girls. More than 4,000 badge design ideas were submitted by girls and volunteers and 11,000 girls from 753 Girlguiding units across the UK helped test them out. The developments were in response to girls' requests to add more choice to the programme and include activities to help the climate, build confidence and speak about their interests and 'fandom' groups. Different badges can be won by different age groups and they range from interest badges to skills builders to unit meeting activities. The youngest, Rainbows, are able to win the 'bee rescuer' badge by helping the environment or for finding and sharing their 'guiding sparkle' and why they love Girlguiding. Brownies have a reinvented version of the 'hostess' badge called 'celebrations' which can be won by hosting a party and providing food, activities and decorations. Guides are able to earn a 'thrift' badge by customising, repurposing and recycling objects. Bell said: 'It was a real blast trying out the new badges with Girlguiding members. 'I know first-hand just how important it is for girls to have activities outside of school to educate but also have fun. 'As someone who thrives on challenges and is passionate about ensuring girls' voices are heard, I feel extremely excited to be joining Girlguiding as an ambassador. 'Girlguiding offers a safe and welcoming space for all girls, and I am so impressed by the work they do to build girls' confidence and wellbeing, whilst tackling important issues impacting their lives such as online harm, sexism and misogyny. 'In a world where the voices of girls and young women are not always fairly heard, I am proud to stand alongside Girlguiding and will be using my voice to speak up for equality and to show that girls can do anything.' The badge activities were developed with Girlguiding's youth panel Amplify, which is made up of 30 girls aged 12 to 18, and seven partners including The Royal Horticultural Society, which helped with the Rangers' gardening badge, the Children's Book Project, which helped with the Guides' bookworm badge, Bletchley Park, which helped with the Guides' codebreaking badge, and the Wellbeing of Women charity which helped with the Rangers' 'my health' badge. Amanda Azeez, acting chief executive of Girlguiding, said: 'The launch of these new badges is a huge moment for Girlguiding. 'They've been designed by girls, for girls – which is so important to make sure we are staying relevant to girls' wants and needs. 'The response from girls and volunteers during the consultation process was incredible and really inspiring. 'There's something for everyone among the new badges and I'm looking forward to seeing the impact these activities have on girls, building their confidence and helping them know they can do anything.'

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi 'looking into' getting remarried in UK
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi are considering getting remarried in the UK if the US overturns same-sex marriage. The couple - whose move to the Cotswolds in South West England was spurred on by the re-election of President Donald Trump in 2024 - tied the knot during an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles, California, in 2008. But after a vote by Southern Baptists in June to endorse a resolution that would look to overturn Obergefell v Hodges - the Supreme Court case that legalised same-sex marriage across the US in June 2015 - Ellen and Portia are "looking into" saying "I do" in the UK to protect their marriage. Speaking to TV presenter Richard Bacon, 49, during her In Conversation with Ellen DeGeneres event at Cheltenham's Everyman theatre on July 20, she revealed: "The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage. 'They're trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it. 'Portia and I are already looking into it, and if they do that, we're going to get married here.' A reversal of Obergefell would not ban gay marriage, but would call "for laws that affirm marriage between one man and one women'. Later in the talk, Ellen, 67, expressed her sadness that not all societies accept people of all sexualities. She said: "I wish we were at a place where it was not scary for people to be who they are. I wish that we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences. "So until we're there, I think there's a hard place to say we have huge progress.' Ellen confirmed she and Portia, 52, moved to the UK because of Donald Trump, 79, being re-elected as President of the United States in November 2024. Admitting that 'everything here is just better' after leaving the Republican Party-led country, the former talk-show host said: 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in.' And we're like, 'We're staying here.''

Victoria Beckham's Reaction to Husband David Beckham's New Look Is Everything
Victoria Beckham's Reaction to Husband David Beckham's New Look Is Everything originally appeared on Parade. David Beckham just proved to his wife, Victoria Beckham, that he could handle things in the most chill and stylish way, so not even a DIY hair disaster could faze him. On Sunday, the retired football icon shared an update after he tried to give himself a fresh hairstyle but accidentally failed. The power couple drew public attention after the former Spice Girls member posted a video of her husband using his hand to cover a bald patch on his head. "What have you done?" she asked him in the video, to which the 50-year-old former athlete explained himself, saying that the head of the hair clippers fell off. "You were trying to give yourself a haircut. What have you done?" Posh Spice continued as she asked him to show it to the camera. The fashion designer thought that it was hilarious and couldn't help but laugh, to which her husband responded, saying, "It's not funny." As she got a closer look at the situation, Victoria Beckham continued to poke fun at him and said, "I mean, the hours of content that the kids have got from this." After receiving a cheeky comment from his wife, the Inter Miami CF president and co-owner wrapped up his DIY effort and was determined to make the result somewhat presentable. On his Instagram Stories, he posted an update of himself with a short buzz cut. 'It's the best that I could do with the situation,' he wrote, adding, 'still awful?' he asked, tagging the mother of four. Thankfully, the former girl group member gave her thumbs up and said, 'I'm into it' as she swooned over David Beckham's new look.
