Liam Gallagher hits out at child support claims amid new legal battle with Liza Ghorbani

Liam Gallagher has hit out at child support claims amid his fresh legal battle with the mother of his youngest child.

The Oasis frontman is reportedly embroiled in a bitter court battle with ex Liza Ghorbani, the mother of his 12-year-old daughter Gemma, after she recently launched a new claim for increased child support in a New York court. According to sources, the 51-year-old, who had a brief affair with the Manchester-born rocker when she interviewed him in 2010, has demanded more child support money ahead of Liam’s big Oasis reunion tour.

The gigs have reportedly landed Liam and brother Noel Gallagher, 57, a whopping £50 million. Sources claim that Liza is “taking advantage” of Liam’s fortune. They went on to add that he’s “already generous” and has continued to meet his child support obligations.

After news of the fresh legal battle emerged, Liam took to social media to hit out at his ex, and revealed the staggering amount of child support he was already paying to Liza. “GOLD DIGGER”, he posted on X/Twitter. “And it’s 300 grand a year not 36 grand a year get your SUMS right LG x”.

The case, filed in the New York Supreme Court under “Liza Ghorbani vs. Liam Gallagher – child support”, marks the first legal move since a confidential settlement was reached in 2015. At that time, reports suggested Ghorbani was receiving around £3, 000 per month. Reflecting on the resolution, she previously stated: “I’m just really relieved this ordeal is over for the sake of my daughter”.

A source close to the singer told The Sun on Sunday that Liza is “taking advantage” of the rocker’s recent fortunes. “He has always met his child support obligations, and they’re already generous”, they said. “This claim is asking for an excessive amount of money, and it’s definitely added some stress before the tour”.

The duo reportedly reached a confidential settlement in 2015, and at the time, it was suggested Liza was receiving around £3, 000 per month from Liam. The new case has been called “silly” by insiders close to the singer.

The duo first met in 2010, and after a brief romance, Liza gave birth to their daughter Gemma. However, Liam was forced to admit to being Gemma’s father in 2013 after Liza filed a £2 million lawsuit over allegations he had failed to pay child support or attend hearings related to financially supporting their daughter. The lawsuit led to the breakdown of his marriage to then-wife Nicole Appleton, and he used his divorce as the reason why he was unable to pay child support at the time.

The rocker has four children with four different women, and fathered his first child, daughter Molly, 26, following an affair with singer Lisa Moorish just two months after he married actress Patsy Kensit. He also shares son Lennon, 25, with former EastEnders star Patsy, and son Gene, 23, with All Saints singer Nicole.

Lady Gaga pokes fun at herself as she makes savage dig at duet with R. Kelly

Lady Gaga didn’t hold back as she shed light on her duet with controversial musician R Kelly.

This weekend, the pop mega star hosted US sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live and delivered a hilarious opening monologue, which largely saw her poking fun at herself. The singer was also the show’s musical guest to promote her new album, Mayhem.

Having appeared on the show several times before, Lady Gaga back on last time she hosted, which was over a decade ago and included a steamy performance with R. Kelly – who has since been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and racketeering.

She joked, “I’m so happy to be back at SNL. The last time I hosted was in 2013. And every aspect of my performance aged amazingly. Because there’s no need to Google SNL 2013 featuring R. Kelly”.

After receiving laughs from the studio audience, the singer continued, “I won’t bring it up. Because that would be bad”. Changing the subject to her acting career, Lady Gaga recently starred in Joker: Folie à Deux, which received negative reviews from critics and was even awarded two Razzie awards, a satirical award show that marks the worst films of the year.

Taking the criticism on the chin, she continued, “Anyway, I’m an actor now. And I’ve been very diligent about selecting films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor… films such as Joker 2”. Apparently people thought it was awesome, “she said”. Joaquin and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst film of the year. We won. For worst screen duo. But joke’s on them. I love winning things. “

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has been promoting her new album over recent weeks and opened up to the New York Times in a new interview about being in a positive space after a tough time for her mental health.

Revealing that she experienced psychosis five years ago, the singer said that she experienced psychosis five years ago. She said”, Five years ago, I had psychosis. I was not deeply in touch with reality for a while. It took me out of life in a big way, and after a lot of years of hard work I got myself back. “

Admitting that meeting her now-fiancé, Michael Polansky, marked a turning point, she shared”, It was a hard time, and it was actually really special when I met my partner because when I met Michael, I was in a much better place, but I remember him saying to me, pretty early on, ‘ I know you could be a lot happier than you are’. “

Emma Bunton steals spotlight at Sabrina Carpenter concert alongside rarely-seen son Beau

Emma Bunton has shared a rare photo of her eldest son Beau and her fans couldn’t be any more delighted about it.

The Spice Girls icon, 49, was living her best life over the weekend as she attended Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n ‘ Sweet tour with her 17-year-old son, Beau. The proud mum shared a fun video montage of the night, capturing the electric atmosphere – plus an unforgettable moment when Sabrina herself singled Emma out in the crowd.

Looking effortlessly youthful in a pink t-shirt and sparkling high-waisted jeans, Emma was watching from the VIP section when the camera turned to her. In a signature tour moment – previously shared with stars like Millie Bobby Brown -Sabrina “arrested” her for being “too hot”, playfully handing over a pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs.

Though her youngest son, 13-year-old Tate, wasn’t pictured, it’s likely the concert was a family affair – one of many music-filled outings for the Bunton-Jones crew. Emma shares both her children with husband Jade Jones, whom she first fell for in 1998. The longtime couple got engaged in 2011 and finally tied the knot in an intimate ceremony during the pandemic in 2021.

It comes after Emma honoured her Spice Girl roots with a girl power infused meme on International Women’s Day which read: “Empowered women empower others. Every woman’s success can inspire others – we’re strongest when we lift each other up”. Emma’s exciting weekend full of girly fun comes amid rumours that the Spice Girls are set to discuss an upcoming reunion.

Melanie C confirmed that as the 30th anniversary of their debut single Wannabe rapidly approaches, the music icons are joining forces to discuss how to celebrate. And it appears that even Victoria Beckham, who in 2018 confirmed she wouldn’t be joining the band on stage for their 2019 stadium tour is also open to discussions.

Next year, the group will celebrate three decades since they burst onto the music scene and changed history by becoming one of the biggest selling girl-groups of all time. Since their decision to disband in 2000, they have reunited on several occasions – including in 2007, 2012 for the London Olympic Games and in 2018 to tour across the UK.

Melanie recently said they will definitely be discussing ways to celebrate their achievements. In a new interview, Melanie, from Whiston, Merseyside, mega-star revealed “it’s time” for the group to return to the music scene. She said: “There has to be something befitting of 30 years since Wannabe. Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl”.

Speaking to Rebecca Judd on Apple Music 1, she went on to add: “We all feel like that, but we now are getting together because we know if we’re going to do anything, we have to start planning things to get things right. We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed. I think me and Mel B are probably going to be going in there all guns blazing. Come on! It’s time”.

TOWIE’s Chloe Brockett opens up on ‘year from hell’ after quitting ITV show

Former TOWIE star Chloe Brockett, 24, has opened up about her “year from hell” after leaving the award-winning show. Chloe received death threats, get stalked, and worry constantly about money. Chloe left abruptly after a heated altercation between her and cast mate Roman Hackett, 22, that ending with her throwing three glass tumblers at him.

The reality star was suspended from the series and eventually quit. In a new bombshell interview the Essex native says TOWIE producers “forced” her to throw the first drink and claims they “instigated” it, claiming that they “pushed and pushed” even after she said she didn’t want to do it.

While Chloe says she’s much happier now the year following her departure from the show has been “hell”. Speaking to The Sun, she claimed that being on the series resulted in getting death threats and suffering at the hands of a stalker. After quitting her main source of income, Chloe eventually turned to OnlyFans to pay the bills.

She said: “I got torn apart for the way I look, speak, everything. People said they wanted me dead. I was a child — just 18. It was too young to be on a show like that. I had a stalker. I get my hair done regularly and each time he’d ring up and ask the receptionist, ‘ When does Chloe want picking up? ‘. It went on for ages”.

Chloe also says that she quickly realised that being “bolshy, ­argumentative Chloe B” got her more work and producers would go to her when they needed drama on the show. She added: “Everyone thought I was really like that. But I am a nice person”.

Chloe also spent much of last year supporting her boyfriend Jack Fincham, 31. The TV personality has had a difficult few years, with the star most recently being sentenced to six weeks behind bars after his Cane Corso dog bit two people, causing an injury to one individual. He was ordered to pay £3580 to the courts, including a £200 compensation fee to one of the victims, which also includes a £50 compensation fee to a second victim.

A payment plan was set up for Jack to pay £400 a month after he’s released after prosecutors said he has ‘ no savings. ‘ However, hours after his sentencing, Jack was released from prison pending an appeal. His struggles began a few years ago, with a “cocaine binge” seeing him being given an ultimatum by then-girlfriend Dani Dyer.

In February this year Jack opened up about struggling with his mental health as he admitted he attempted suicide while on a short break with Chloe in a West Midlands country hotel. He went on IMDB and thought he ‘ had nothing to show for this ‘ and ‘ messed up his life ‘ after realising he did 30 TV shows.

“I’d had the world at my feet, but the addictions destroyed everything”, he explained to The Sun. He lost 1 million followers on social media, which he described was a “horrible feeling”. While spiralling with his thoughts, he ordered “sambucas, prosecco, five vodkas at a time”, before he started gambling on his phone.

However, he thought he ‘ lost his last penny ‘ while being ‘ off his head ‘ and gambling online. Thinking he had nothing to his name, he said to himself: “I don’t want to be here anymore, I’ve had enough. I am a f***ing loser”. His girlfriend rushed to the reception to tell staff to stop serving him drinks and asked them to call the ambulance as she was ‘ scared he was going to kill himself’.

While she was downstairs, he considering throwing himself over the hotel balcony. He confessed: “I remember weighing up the options, thinking, ‘ I’ve nothing left to give here. Not a penny to my name. Nothing is salvageable. ‘ We were in a hillside lodge and I jumped. If I’d have dived at a different angle, I may not be here today. That is scary”.

Danny Jones’ true reason for remaining silent after Maura Higgins kiss ‘revealed’

Danny Jones has remained silent following his kiss scandal with Maura Higgins but for one reason. The McFly singer is married to Georgia Horsley but faces calls to “speak out” about the ongoing drama.

Former I’m A Celebrity co-stars Danny, 38, and Maura, 34, have yet to publicly comment on reports earlier this month that they had a “drunken kiss” at a BRIT Awards after-party in London. Footage released last weekend appears to them having a kiss and a second video, published this week, reportedly shows them later chatting at second party.

A source has since told the Mirror that Danny and wife Georgia, 38, are in crisis talks in a bid to save their marriage. The McFly member and podcast host Georgia have been married since 2014 and share son Cooper, seven. The source suggested that Danny’s silence may have been down to him “working through various discussions” with his wife, but they added that the musician “needs to now speak out” about the situation following the second video.

Discussing the scandal, the source told us: “Everyone would understand why Danny and his wife have been quiet. They are likely working through various discussions from the first video that was released alone. With this second video, Danny needs to now speak out”.

They continued: “Maura is getting a lot of the backlash, and Danny seems to be getting away with his actions as a husband who was supposed to have been in love with his wife for over a decade. Danny’s career should be halted at this point and he should be big enough to now speak out to everyone and explain what has happened and take some accountability”.

The source added: “This is unfair on his wife, who seems to have put the family and their marriage first. Who knows if another video will emerge, but being honest is now the only way that this has a chance of resolving itself”.

The comments comes after it was claimed just last weekend that Danny and Maura – who appeared on I’m A Celebrity together last year – had a “drunken kiss” whilst at a Universal Music after-party at 180 Studios on the Strand following the BRIT Awards. Footage, shared by the Sun last Sunday night, appears to show them having a kiss. A source told the outlet that they “seemed to be having a great time”, adding: “They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss”.

The pair were photographed smiling as they left the party and are said to have both then ended up at Sony’s afterparty at the Nobu Hotel in Portman Square. They are reported to have travelled separately to the second party. A video from that event, shared by the Sun this weekend, appears to show them in a conversation and holding glasses of wine. Source claimed to the outlet that Danny and Maura seemed to have “no plans to call it a night”, adding that they were “knocking back wine” from 4am and “weren’t seen leaving before 6am”.
