Random Thoughts

It seems Liam and Noel Gallagher are no longer looking back in anger — Oasis is officially getting back together.

After a 15-year feud, the band’s co-founders and siblings will let bygones be bygones as they prepare for a reunion tour in the U.K. next year. The Gallagher brothers announced Tuesday that they will play 14 shows in summer 2025, including four at London’s Wembley Stadium and four at Manchester’s Heaton Park. Other stops include Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. local time on Aug. 31 via Ticketmaster, GigsAndTours.com and SeeTickets.com.

“There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realization that the time is right,” a press release stated. “Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence. This Thursday represents 30 years to the day since their electrifying debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ reach that same anniversary.”

For their part, the Gallagher brothers added: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

According to the press release, plans are underway for the band to also tour outside of Europe next year.

On Sunday, the Gallaghers seemingly confirmed that Oasis would reunite after they both posted a cryptic clip on their respective X (formerly Twitter) accounts that displayed the date, “27.08.24.” The band’s official website also showed the same date on its main page, suggesting that an Oasis-related announcement would happen Tuesday.

That was not the only hint of a reunion: Over the weekend, Liam Gallagher responded to multiple fan inquiries and comments on X as reports about Oasis performing next year in the U.K. circulated online.

When one user complained about Oasis playing Heaton Park in Manchester, calling it a “terrible venue,” Liam Gallagher replied: “See you down the front you big fanny.”

The singer also wrote on X Sunday morning, “I never did like that word FORMER.”

Oasis formally disbanded in 2009 after Noel Gallagher’s departure from the British rock band.

In June, Liam Gallagher kicked off a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of Oasis‘ debut studio album “Definitely Maybe.” A new reissue of the album will be released on Friday.

One of the doctors charged in the overdose death of Friends star Matthew Perry agreed to plead guilty to one federal count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, prosecutors said this morning.

Mark Chavez, 54, of San Diego, will be arraigned today in Los Angeles. He is among five people charged in the October death of Perry, who was found in a hot tub behind his Pacific Palisades home.

“Chavez has agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and has signed a plea agreement,” the Justice Department said today. “At his arraignment [United States Magistrate Judge Jean P. Rosenbluth] will set a date for Chavez’s change of plea proceeding – or direct the parties to contact the chambers of the federal district judge assigned to the case to set the hearing date.”

Johnny was only 31 years old, he leaves behind a wife, a 2 year old daughter a 7 month old son.

As if that isn't tragic enough, both brothers were supposed to be groomsmen in their sister's wedding TODAY...

Some tragedies just rip through entire families devastating multiple generations without mercy all because some piece of shit drove drunk.

That is absolutely tragic. I can't imagine how the sister will get through the wedding.

WyldeMan wrote:They cancelled the wedding because how the hell could you not?

The driver, Sean Higgins, 43, was charged on two counts of death by automobile along with reckless driving, possession of an open container and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle, police said.

And Higgins has two young daughters of his own.

BTW, Sean Higgins is a decorated US Army Major who was most recently the director of financial operations at an addiction treatment center...

Selena Gomez Reaches Billionaire Status

Selena Gomez is taking her beauty brand all the way to the bank after five years.

The Golden Globe nominee has reached billionaire status, according to a new report that finds her wealth has been largely driven by her Rare Beauty cosmetic brand, which she launched in 2019, as well as other ventures that leverage her 424 million Instagram followers.

With an estimated $1.3 billion worth, she’s now one of the country’s youngest female billionaires, Bloomberg reported Friday.

Rare Beauty makes up 81.4% of Gomez’s fortune. The value also takes into account her interest in the Wondermind mental health startup, the estimated value of her music album sales and real estate properties, as well as earnings from streaming deals, brand partnerships, concert tickets and acting.

Although Gomez’s last solo tour was 2016’s Revival Tour, and her last album was 2020’s Rare, she has remained busy as a star and executive producer on Only Murders in the Building, which was recently renewed for Season 5.

Thanks to Only Murders in the Building, Gomez is currently nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, her first nod in the category. The Hulu show is also up for Outstanding Comedy Series for the third consecutive year.

Meanwhile, Gomez is preparing to return to her roots with Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, a sequel series to her 2007-’12 Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, premiering Oct. 29 at 8pm ET/PT. Gomez and returning co-star David Henrie also serve as executive producers.

I'm kind of surprised that TSwift wasn't the first female billionaire given that every week there's another story about her conquering the world and shattering another record. Meanwhile, I don't think I've read anything about Selena Gomez in many years. What a surprising turn of events.

Good for her! I've never heard any crazy stories about her and she's a good role model for young women to look up to.

I like Selena Gomez, I love Only Murders in the Building

WyldeMan wrote:I was never a Linkin Park fan and couldn't name two songs if you paid me but I know there were a lot of fans at least twenty years ago. I hope this new LP implodes quickly and we get to watch their public failure.

I haven't seen Murders yet.

WyldeMan wrote:Hey guys, I don't normally post really personal stuff online but in the past I've shared here that my closest friend since childhood Vinnie, had a softball sized tumor removed from his brain in 2019 and that he's struggled ever since with seizures but he was mostly doing alright. However I just learned that the tumor came back earlier this year and that on August 26th he was given only 3 months to live and he's now in hospice. They don't believe he'll see Thanksgiving.

Vinnie's been unable to work since 2019 and his daughter Penelope was born a week after his first seizure and diagnoses. He has no savings left because the medical bills took everything he had. She's only five years old now and he's been there every day since her birth, I can't imagine how devastated she's going to be when he's gone.  

His sister Rachel launched a GoFundMe for his family as he enters his final months and I wanted to share it and I hoped maybe you guys could do the same. They really need the help, they don't have much and everything has been going to his medical bills so anything would help...

I appreciate your time.

Comfort & Joy for Vinnie's Final Journey
