PAUL WELLER has launched an astonishing attack on fellow British rocker STING, reportedly spitting at a picture of him backstage at a gig.
The former JAM star performed alongside OASIS guitarist NOEL GALLAGHER at Wednesday’s (28MAR07) Teenage Cancer Trust charity gig at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
According to British newspaper the Daily Mirror, he was spotted backstage disfiguring a picture of Sting taken when he performed there in 2000.
The newspaper claims Weller "marched straight up to it, coughed-up as much phlegm as he could muster and planted it plum in the middle of THE POLICE frontman’s head… as he walked away." Weller has never hid his disdain for Sting, recently saying, "He’s a f**king horrible man. Not my cup of tea at all. F**king rubbish. No edge, no attitude, no nothing."

The WEDDING PLANNER star plays PUCHI, the wife of Salsa king HECTOR LAVOE played by Anthony - in the movie drama.

Pop star JENNIFER LOPEZ has been getting singing advice from her Latino husband MARC ANTHONY, because she feared she wasn’t good enough.
The WAITING FOR TONIGHT performer suffered from anxiety about her ability while recording a new, un-named track, until a crash course from her singing spouse restored her confidence.
She says, "The song I was about to record was a beautiful ballad. Marc just looked at me and he said, ‘Jennifer, read the words, sing the words. Don’t think about your voice, think about what you are singing.’" The couple, meanwhile, claim their Hispanic roots help them to understand each other.
Lopez says, "My husband is from my culture, from my background and he totally understands me both emotionally and creatively. He is the first person to give me total confidence as an artist."

Artistic rocker RONNIE WOOD has urged PETE DOHERTY to stop painting with blood, insisting he should learn using more traditional tools first.
The ROLLING STONE, whose paintings have earned him critical acclaim and can command $120,000 (£63,000) each, fears Doherty is using human blood just for effect.
Wood says, "When I met Pete he’s a soft spoken soul. I don’t know what his frustrations are. I’d say to him, ‘Yes, paint in blood, but you’re jumping the gun by using it as your first medium.’ You can’t just start with people’s blood when there’s as much blood in a pencil.
"I’m sure if he knew he could do as much with a brush and a guitar he’d be great."

Chinese-Malaysian actress MICHELLE YEOH is sick of relationships with Chinese men, claiming they are all chauvinistic and old-fashioned.
The SUNSHINE star, who was once married to Hong Kong film producer DICKSON POON, ended their three-and-a-half year marriage to return to acting, after tiring of her role as traditional housewife.
Yeoh, 44, says, "Somehow I feel that Chinese men are much more chauvinistic.
"It is in our genes going back generations. The majority of them would say there is nothing wrong with being chauvinistic. To their mind, that is looking after the women well.
"We are the damsel in distress, the one who is always rescued.
"But I was very formative in my ex-husband. I think it depends on where they were educated and where they end up. If you think of Hong Kong it’s so advanced and cosmopolitan, but it is still very Chinese."

300 actress LENA HEADEY was diagnosed with clinical depression as a teenager, and still suffers from the condition.
Headey, whose school days were "really hard", blames her troubled childhood for triggering her continuing depression.
She says, "I was diagnosed when I was 15, and it comes and goes. I may suffer from it once or twice a year, but I now recognise it and deal with it.
"I don’t use medication because I’m so worried about becoming dependent on it, but I can understand people who do, because you do go through the most horrendous feelings of isolation." The 33-year-old star, who once ran away from home as a teen, occasionally has suicidal thoughts today.
She says, "When the depression comes, it’s very intense and you can’t see beyond it."

GOSSIP singer BETH DITTO has slammed the lack of press coverage given to female musicians.
The outspoken lesbian has rubbished claims that today’s ladies are considered equal to male performers and blames music magazines for failing to recognise their talents.
She says, "If it was getting easier for women, wouldn’t CSS and LONG BLONDES have been playing the NME Awards? Wouldn’t they have been on the cover by now? "We’ve been in this band for eight years and been coming over here for seven to get where we are." The STANDING IN THE WAY OF CONTROL singer blasted the massive column inches devoted to celebrities like NICOLE RICHIE.
She complains, "How many times has Nicole Richie been on the cover of a magazine?"

Former LIMP BIZKIT guitarist WES BORLAND has dismissed claims he’s set to reunite with former bandmate FRED DURST, insisting his new group BLACK LIGHT BURNS is "like going out with the hottest girl in school". Borland, who will release Black Light Burns’ first album, CRUEL MELODY, in June (07), adds that his Limp Bizkit tenure was "hard and painful" and he has no desire for the group to reunite.
The 32-year-old rocker says, "You can never tell what’s going to happen, because life is very up-and-down and interesting - it throws new things my way all the time.
"So you can never say ‘never’ to anything, but I seriously doubt it.
"Black Light Burns to me is like going out with the hottest girl in school.
Why would I want to go back to going out with someone who’s not very good-looking to me and restricts me from doing anything? "It’s like, ‘Wow, this is so awesome and easy.’ Why would I want to go back to something so hard and painful for me?"

Hollywood actress GILLIAN ANDERSON has defended the dark nature of her latest movie STRAIGHTHEADS, because not all films should be easy to watch.
The former X-FILES star believes it would be irresponsible and unrealistic to ignore violence in art.
She says, "Movies should be whatever the f**k they are. If they are f**king disturbing, then let them be f**king disturbing.

Music mogul SIMON COWELL has been nicknamed ‘The Child Catcher’ on the set of his new British talent show - because he is so unfriendly towards kids.
Cowell, who has no children of his own, was soon given the joke name, a reference to the baddie in CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, after fellow judges noticed his dislike for youngsters on BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT.
One judge, UK TV actress AMANDA HOLDEN, says, "He just doesn’t like children, he’s not interested. When they come on you can see he isn’t interested.
"I would not bring my daughter to work. I had a photo of her on my phone and Simon just said, ‘You’ve got dogs too, haven’t you? Have you got a picture of a dog?’"

Hollywood actor JOHN TRAVOLTA has urged fans to help reduce global warming despite owning five private jets and having an airport in his back garden.
The 53-year-old was in London for the UK premiere of his movie WILD HOGS on Wednesday (28MAR07), which he had flown to from his home in Florida.
And despite his love of aviation, Travolta admits something needs to be done to tackle climate change.
He said, "(Global warming) is a very valid issue. I’m wondering if we need to think of other planets and dome cities.
"Everyone can do their bit. But I don’t know if it’s not too late already. We have to think about alternative methods of fuels.
"I’m probably not the best candidate to ask about global warming because I fly jets.
"I use them as a business tool though, as others do. I think it’s part of this industry - otherwise I couldn’t be here doing this and I wouldn’t be here now."
