Noel Gallagher slams Jade Goody media coverage - Daily Gossip

Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.

Today's top gossip:

Noel Gallagher has attacked the press coverage surrounding reality TV star Jade Goody, who is terminally ill with cancer. "I was watching the TV today and they're [journalists] all outside her house," he said, before lambasting Goody's PR Max Clifford for orchestrating the media scrum currently surrounding the reality TV star.
"I mean, I've got fuck all against Jade Goody, that's nothing to do with me," Gallagher continued. "But it bends my head. That, to me, sums up, in one tiny five-minute thing on the news, what an embarrassing place Britain is right now. You might as well shut Number 10 Downing Street down and get Max Clifford to run the country" (The Times).
