Noel Gallagher sues News of the World

Noel Gallagher was apparently "talking to a fan" when he made the following comments, say the News Of The World.

Noel is reported to have uttered the following:

On the BRITs speech: "If he wants to take credit for my band, then that's up to him. But every fan knows the truth and that's all that matters."

About Liam's new band: "It's like the fucking Sugababes now. They'll be kicking Andy Bell out next and replacing him with a leggy blonde."

About Pretty Green: "Oasis fans don't care what the band look like. But our kid doesn't get that. Fashion is for women... and gay men."

Noel's lawyers have seemingly been instructed to demand a retraction from News Of The World. Noel denies the conversation ever happened. A statement on Oasis' official website says:

"The claims made in the article and the quotes attributed to Noel are simply untrue. What's more, we have learned that the article was written by the same hack journalist who brought fans the 'exclusive' that Liam had recruited a female bass player recently. The woman named in that article, who's actually a fan website editor, embarrassed the newspaper with a categorical denial within hours of the story surfacing".
