Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais shares sweet reaction to cameo at Heaton Park Oasis gig

Noel and Liam Gallagher’s band Oasis are official back on tour for the first time in more than two decades, with thousands of fans travelling to see them perform

Oasis star Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais has shared her sweet reaction to her cameo at their Heaton Park gig last night. She took to her Instagram to share a clip as she attended her dad’s concert, watching on in the crowd to support her dad.

The 25-year-old posted the video which featured the Oasis stage at Heaton Park as they performed in their native Manchester. In the clip, a tiny voice could be heard saying “That’s rock ‘n’ roll baby” – which Anais revealed was a recording of herself at seven years old.

She captioned the post: “That’s my little 7 year old voice” as she shared a cute face emoji to react to the touching moment. Across the night Anais shared a collection of clips and photos of her dad – who she branded the ‘coolest’ – while performing at the reunion tour.

Oasis have recently embarked on their come-back tour after not performing together for more than two decades. Liam and Noel had infamously been feuding ever since the band split back in 2009.

The pair announced last year that they would be going on tour 16 years after splitting. At the time of the announcement, they shared a video to promote the comeback when Liam was heard saying: “When we both come together, you have greatness.”

Noel then says: “I know my brother better than anybody else. This is it, this is happening.” The brothers started their reunion tour in Cardiff and performed some of their biggest hits during the first show.

Their set list consisted of hits such as Roll With It, Fade Away, Morning Glory and Stand By Me. They began the show with their song Hello. However, some fans weren’t too happy while watching the latest show at Heaton Park last night.

Liam was met with jeers during the epic Oasis homecoming gig, but it wasn’t his music that ruffled feathers. The gig took an unexpected turn when Liam paused to make a heartfelt dedication.

Liam announced: “I’d like to dedicate this to the greatest manager of all time, Mr Pep Guardiola.” The shoutout caused some unrest among the fans which lead to boos.

However, Liam wasn’t too offended as he fired back: “Who you f***ing booing, who you f***ing booing.” The camera then focused on a life-size cut-out of Pep Guardiola wearing a Man City scarf, which was displayed on stage.

However, the crowd then broke into laughter and Liam kicked off a rendition of D’You Know What I Mean. Adding to the excitement, Pep Guardiola himself was seen backstage, mingling with the Gallaghers, including Noel’s daughter and Liam’s sons.

A weather warning was issued for the concert due to the UK heatwave this weekend. Concert organisers tole fans to stage hydrated and wear sun screen.

The warning then told concert goers to “wear a (bucket) hat” as well as to stay in the shade when possible. It finished with saying: “Look after yourself and look after each other.”

Sites of Khmer Rouge execution, torture in Cambodia added to UNESCO list

Three notorious locations used by Cambodia’s brutal Khmer Rouge regime as torture and execution sites to perpetrate the genocide of Year Zero five decades ago have been added to UNESCO’s World Heritage list.

Two prisons and an execution site were inscribed on the list by the United Nations cultural agency on Friday during the 47th Session of the World Heritage Committee in Paris.

It coincided with the 50th anniversary of the rise to power by the communist Khmer Rouge, which caused the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians through starvation, torture and mass executions during a four-year reign of violence from 1975 to 1979 before it was brought to an end by an invasion from neighbouring Vietnam.

UNESCO’s World Heritage list lists sites considered important to humanity and includes the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Taj Mahal in India and Cambodia’s Angkor archaeological complex.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet issued a message on Friday directing people to beat drums simultaneously across the country on Sunday morning to mark the UNESCO listing.

“May this inscription serve as a lasting reminder that peace must always be defended,” Hun Manet said in a video message aired by state-run television TVK. “From the darkest chapters of history, we can draw strength to build a better future for humanity.”

Two sites added to the list are in the capital, Phnom Penh – the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Choeung Ek Genocide Centre.

Tuol Sleng is a former high school that was converted into a notorious prison known as S-21, where an estimated 15,000 people were imprisoned and tortured.

Today, the site is a space for commemoration and education, housing the black-and-white mugshots of its many victims and the preserved equipment used by Khmer Rouge tormentors.

The UNESCO inscription was Cambodia’s first nomination for a modern and non-classical archaeological site and is among the first in the world to be submitted as a site associated with recent conflict, Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts said in a statement on Friday.

‘The Killing Fields’

Choeung Ek – a former Chinese cemetery – was a notorious “killing field” where S-21 prisoners were executed nightly. The story of the atrocities committed there is the focus of the 1984 film “The Killing Fields”, based on the experiences of New York Times photojournalist Dith Pran and correspondent Sydney Schanberg.

More than 6,000 bodies were exhumed from at least 100 mass graves at the ground in the early 1980s, according to Cambodian government documents filed with UNESCO.

Every year, hundreds hold remembrance prayers in front of the site’s memorial displaying victims’ skulls, and watch students stage dramatic re-enactments of the Khmer Rouge’s bloody crimes.

Another prison site, known as M-13 and located in a rural area in central Kampong Chhnang province, was one of the most important prisons of the early Khmer Rouge, where its cadres “invented and tested various methods of interrogation, torture and killing” but is today only a patch of derelict land.

A special tribunal sponsored by the UN, costing $337m and working over 16 years, only convicted three key Khmer Rouge figures, including S-21 chief torturer Kaing Guek Eav, before ceasing operations in 2022.

Pol Pot, leader of the Khmer Rouge regime, died in 1998 before he could be brought to trial.

Brad Pitt makes ‘desperate plea’ to reunite with two children after ‘unfixable’ fallout

Brad Pitt has endured a difficult relationship with the six children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie – and he is said to be ‘desperate’ to reunite with his teenage twins

Brad Pitt is said to be “desperate” to reunite with his twin children following his divorce from Angelina Jolie and enduring an explosive family fall out. The 61-year-old Hollywood star was in a relationship with Angie for 12 years and they married in 2014, and parents to six – including twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

The star couple’s relationship hit the rocks in 2016 with Angelina filing for divorce, and over the subsequent years there have been reports that Brad’s relationship with his kids has suffered. Last year, Vivienne made headlines when it was revealed she had dropped “Pitt” from her last name – hinting at a severe breakdown in relations.

Now a new report has suggested Brad is “desperate” to smooth things over with his twins. However, it is suggested he will face an uphill struggle to get all his kids in one place together with him.

The report claims the F1 actor has a “glimmer of hope” that he can make amends due to the fact that while Vivienne has dropped his name from her last name, Knox has not removed “Pitt” from his last name.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Brad’s desperate to give it one final shot to get together with them and make amends, even though he knows the chance they’ll agree to spend time with him is remote to say the least. So far there’s been no word back from the twins or their reps.”

And a second source stated: “Brad is a family man. Now that he and Angie are at odds, and have for years, he has accepted that is the way it is going to be with her. But when it comes to their children, he will always want to be an anchor in their lives.

“There is a bond that parents have with their kids, and Brad would be very happy to have them all back in the fold of his life. He will always believe and always hope there is a chance to be back with all of them, and he doesn’t want to think otherwise.

“He doesn’t want to give up, he’s not that kind of guy, he’s not that kind of father. He is a proud father, and he would be happy to have them see that eventually.”

Brad and Angeline first revealed their romance in 2005 – soon after it was announced he had split from first wife, Jennifer Aniston. The following year, they announced they were expecting their first child together – with Shiloh arriving in May 2006.

Vivienne and Knox arrived in July 2008 – and proud parents Brad and Ange married in a private ceremony at their Château in Miraval, France, in August 2014.

The couple announced their split in 2016 and a bitter divorce was launched – and while they were declared single again in 2019, points around their divorce rumbled for years after. Famously, the couple argued through lawyers in the courts over the ownership of their vineyard in France.

Following their split, Brad has since begun a relationship with 32-year-old jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, while Angelina is reportedly enjoying life as a singleton.

Orange Tango’s ‘happy slapper’ TV ad star met tragic end after banned craze

The famous Tango Orange TV advert, which saw a man in a nappy slap a drinker around the face, was banned after sparking copycat crazes – but what became of the actor Peter Geeves?

Sometimes an advert captures our imagination so brilliantly, like the heartwarming John Lewis Christmas commercials that people look forward to every year. But in other moments, adverts spectacularly misfire – remember the 1992 ‘happy slapper’ Tango advert with its infamous line, “You know when you’ve been Tango’d”?

The notorious ad depicted a trio of youngsters on a street corner, one enjoying a can of Tango, with a voiceover from Outnumbered star Hugh Dennis alongside sports commentator Ray Wilkins. They narrated a slow-mo replay of the Tango drinker getting slap around the face by a bright orange man sporting a bald head and a nappy. The slap was intended to represent the intense hit of the drink’s flavour.

Marking the launch of Tango’s new comedic campaign, the advert inadvertently sparked a rash of copycat slapping incidents in playgrounds, allegedly causing children to sustain burst ear drums – leading to the immediate ban of the commercial.

Relatively unknown talent Peter Greeves took on the role of the Tango man, having worked in some films and TV series such as Muppet Treasure Island, Nuns On The Run, Birds Of A Feather, Closer To Home, and Men Behaving Badly, reports OK!.

Recounting the ad’s casting, art director Trevor Robinson shared reflections with The Guardian, saying: “Somehow we also convinced serious up-and-coming actor Peter Geeves to play the Orange Man. We knew as soon as he auditioned – the way he ran with his stomach sticking out – that he’d be perfect.”

He elaborated on the original concept for the advertisement, revealing: “At first, we thought the ad would have a fat orange genie who ran up and kicked the Tango drinker on the bum. Of course, the advertising authority at the time, the BACC, said no way. We got the script cleared by changing the kick to a pleasant, Morecambe and Wise-style slap on the face. I think it’s safe to say the little slap got a bit out of hand.”

He also recounted learning about the troublesome trend it sparked, saying: “I remember having a conversation with a doctor, who complained that kids were ‘Tangoing’ each other at the cost of perforated ear drums.”

Peter Geeves seemingly vanished from the public eye in 1996 as he quit acting to establish a micro-brewery with his son, providing Yorkshire pubs with their own local brews. The pair’s Tunnel Mouth was even named champion beer at a breweries festival. However, he did appear in five episodes of police drama The Bill, an episode of Doctors and two episodes of EastEnders, where he played Len.

In a chat with ITV back in 2006, Peter nostalgically recalled his stint in the Tango advert, quipping: “I was asked to first of all run around, then run around and scream, then run around screaming topless, it was at that point I thought ‘aye-aye, this isn’t the normal run of the mill advert'”.

Sadly, Peter’s IMDB page reveals the news that he passed away on 31 December 2022, at the age of 67, leaving behind a wife, Suzanne, and two children.

WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis was arrested on Friday on misdemeanour domestic violence charges.

The arrest was related to an incident near Miami, Florida, on 15 June, Father’s Day.

Davis allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend, the mother of two of his children, outside her home.

The 30-year-old was taken into custody in Miami but has since been released on $10,000 (£7,400) bond, with a court hearing scheduled for 29 July.

He has twice previously been arrested on battery domestic violence charges, in February 2020 and December 2022.

Davis has also served 44 days in jail in 2023 after violating the terms of a 90-day house arrest sentence, in relation to a criminal hit-and-run case that occurred in his hometown of Baltimore in November 2020.
