★ NOEL Gallagher

has teamed up with The Cure’s Robert Smith for a remix of his single. The former Oasis star’s latest song Pretty Boy has already been compared to The Cure classic A Forest.

★ Noel said: “It does sound a bit like The Cure. In fact, Robert Smith has done a remix of this track which sounds exactly like The Cure.” Noel’s pal Paul Weller called Smith a “knob end” last week.
