Noel Gallagher Gets Trigger Happy

Apparently Noel Gallagher of Oasis has taken up a new hobby — shooting. And by shooting, we don’t mean down with the brown, but rather the type that involves firearms, bullets and "unfortunate accidents.” The Daily Mirror is reporting that Gallagher has been texting fellow UK rocker Tom Meighan of Kasabian about his newfound hobby and how, according to NME, he has been "stocking up on firearms” while in L.A. mixing the forthcoming Oasis album.

"He sent me a text about going shooting in America, and about how scared he was of shooting himself,” Meighan told the UK magazine. "I’ve not heard from Noel in a while, so as soon as he’s finished recording in L.A. It would be nice to meet up and find out what happened. He was going to get some guns and rifles I think. It was supposed to be a leisurely day out or hobby to get stuck into.”

There has been no word on how, or if, Gallagher’s new diversion has seeped into the new Oasis album or if he is now regularly is packing heat.

Not be overshadowed by his older brother, Liam Gallagher recently spent a whole day being pampered in an L.A. spa, where he had both his chest and eyebrows waxed, the Daily Star reports.
