LIAM GALLAGHER no longer speaks to his brother and OASIS bandmate NOEL - because he annoys him so much.
The pair, who will headline Britain’s V Festival with Oasis this weekend (22-23Aug09), only ever communicate with each other when they are sharing a stage, because their relationship has become so strained.
And things have become so bad between the siblings, they even refuse to travel together.
Liam says, "He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him, that’s it. He hasn’t told me what he thinks of anything this year. We’ve got nothing to say to each other at the moment.
"The only time I see him is onstage and we’re a little bit busy (at) that time to be f***ing scratching each other." The British rockers haven’t spoken since they had an argument at an airport, which reportedly left Noel in tears.
Liam recalls, "I think it might have been about some f***ing s**t support band he wanted to play with us and he didn’t ask my permission.
"So we had a f***ing ding-dong in the airport and I think he started crying then. That was it - doesn’t travel with me anymore… For the first time in my life, I haven’t got a f***ing clue what’s going on with Oasis. It’s pretty confusing but I’m not going to freak out about it." The brothers have publicly slated each other recently by using their Twitter.com blogs to berate one another.
After Noel’s exit from a U2 after-show party in London on Saturday (15Aug09), Liam wrote that his brother looked like "he had got through to the next round of (British TV talent show) X Factor".
Meanwhile, last month (Jul09) Noel took to his blog to complain about Liam’s moody antics during a gig in London, stating "what’siz name" was "probably on his man period".

Movie icon GEORGE HAMILTON insists his son ASHLEY is in good hands as he prepares to dance with the stars - because his partner is the same tough Polish professional who perfected his waltz and foxtrot on the hit U.S. show.
The celebrities have to wait until Friday (21Aug09) to find out who they’ll be partnered up with for the season debut next month (Sep09), but Hamilton has revealed his son will hit the floor with Edyta Sliwinska - his former partner. And he couldn’t be happier.
Hamilton tells WENN, "I went into it, I had a busted knee which I had replaced already, four broken ribs and two shoulders that were frozen and they looked at me like (racehorse) Seabiscuit. They just wanted me to go down and have that on film and I didn’t.
"Every moment I found I was about to fall I had Edyta, and she said to me, ‘Don’t worry my little prince, if you fall I’ll be there.’ "I didn’t believe her until all of a sudden I started falling and this arm of steel came out of the ground and she stuck with me. Now my son is dancing with the great Polish Princess." Ashley Hamilton will be up against stars like Aaron Carter, Macy Gray and Kelly Osbourne when Dancing With The Stars returns.

Young actor LOGAN LERMAN had to put his brand new driving skills to the test on the set of new film MY ONE & ONLY - the star had the stressful job of taking movie mum RENEE ZELLWEGER on a cross-country jaunt in a 1950s Cadillac just a month after passing his test.
The 3:10 To Yuma actor feared he’d lost his role in the film when he failed his test weeks before filming was set to start - but managed to land his license at the last minute.
He tells WENN, "I almost got into a head-on collision with the driving instructor in the car! I got down the block, maybe three streets, and I was making a left at a light and this guy was coming and he had his left turn signal on, so we were both going to make the left turn. We were about to go until the guy tried to speed up and try to go around me and I slammed right into him.
"The driving instructor slammed the brake on his side and was screaming, ‘Go back, go back! You failed!’ I had to take the test again a few weeks later. Then I ended up getting my license and driving Renee Zellweger a month later. How dangerous is that? "I was the guy behind the wheel and I didn’t want to kill Renee Zellweger or my movie brother Mark Rendall or the crew by crashing right into them… I was like, ‘Oh s**t, I have to drive this tank!’ "When I was just learning how to drive it the gas pedal stuck down and I kept on going right into the trailers. I wasn’t turning. I was just scared and in shock… It finally unstuck and I slammed on the brakes seconds before we hit the trailer. It was really scary. The car is worth way more than me."

Officials at the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office have dismissed Internet reports suggesting they are gearing up to charge MICHAEL JACKSON’s personal physician DR. CONRAD MURRAY with manslaughter.
One report suggests Murray, who was living with the King of Pop when he died in June (09), will be accused of killing the pop star in the next two weeks.
But the District Attorney’s office authorities insist the story is "completely and totally false".
FOXNews.com reported on Wednesday (19Aug09) that the doctor, who has been interviewed several times by authorities, would face criminal charges due to his alleged involvement in the King of Pop’s death.
The story surfaced 24 hours after Dr. Murray filmed a one-minute video, professing his innocence and thanking patients and friends for their support, and posted it on website YouTube.com.
Murray has been a person of interest ever since Jackson died on 25 June (09). Investigators have been looking into whether Murray gave the pop star the anaesthetic Propofol in the hours before his death.

Sexy German actress DIANE KRUGER was shocked by her new Playboy magazine spread - because editors chose to cover her up.
The Troy star agreed to pose in a series of provocative shots for the publication’s 20 Questions interview segment, but photo editors chose the least sexy shot of her.

ANGELINA JOLIE deserves a sainthood, according to the children she helped by donating the profits from her family photos of baby SHILOH in 2006.
The actress agreed to distribute the $4 million (GBP2.6 million) she made from showing off Shiloh, who was born in Namibia, to local schools - and the kids she helped back then are now flourishing thanks to the hand-out.
Children attending the Okanimekwa School, which received an estimated $10,000 (GBP6,660) of the photo cash, can’t thank the actress and human rights activist enough - because her donation helped to buy them bicycles.
In a new Life & Style magazine expose, teenager Emiliana Shikongo says, "She’s (Jolie) a very special person, and we’ll never forget her. She must be a holy person." And schoolpal Andreas Kristofelius adds, "I think Angelina Jolie must be a saint." The school bought 75 bicycles to help struggling pupils, and Shikongo was among those to reap the benefits of the gift.
She tells the publication her new mode of transport has shaved 90 minutes off her journey to school - and no longer means she has to leave at 5am and return after dark.
She says, "Now I can stay at school until 4 or 5pm to finish my homework and I still get home before dark. Now my teachers and parents are happy with my performance." Kristofelius, 17, adds, "I used to stay late at school, then walk home to collect firewood to make light so I could finish my homework (because) there is no electricity… Now, with the bicycle, I get to school early, and I’m already working when my teacher arrives. And I can stay later and finish all my homework because it doesn’t take me long to ride home."

HARRY POTTER star DANIEL RADCLIFFE has ruled himself out of a planned LORD OF THE RINGS prequel - because he doesn’t want to play BILBO BAGGINS.
The young actor has long been considered the hot favourite to lead the cast of The Hobbit - but he insists the role should go to someone else.
He says, "I’d have to say, ‘Thanks but no thanks,’ not that anyone has asked me.
"Honestly, I don’t think they would want me anyway; it’s just too close (to Potter franchise). Whatever I do next, I don’t think there will be any wizards in it!" Radcliffe, who is currently working on the final two films in the Potter franchise, would like to see Scottish actor James McAvoy as J.R.R. Tolkien’s most famous literary character in Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro’s new film.
He adds, "James McAvoy is fantastic. I think he should play it. I’ve done the fantasy film thing. Actually, so has he, with the Chronicles of Narnia, of course. But I’ve done it for longer. He can take over. I’m done."

Pop star JASON MRAZ has joined the BLACK EYED PEAS in the record books after smashing a U.S. pop chart longevity milestone on the same day the band claimed a 20th consecutive week at number one.
The Peas’ I Gotta Feeling has claimed an eighth week atop the Billboard Hot 100, which adding to the 12 week number one run for their previous hit Boom Boom Pow gives them a 20-week consecutive stint at the front of the countdown.

The song debuted on the 3 May, 2008, countdown and peaked at number six last September (08).
Rimes’ How Do I Live spent 69 weeks on the Hot 100 in 1997 and 1998.
Thrilled Mraz says, "I’m blown away, humbled by the success of my happy little hippie song."

GEORGE HAMILTON is set to vamp it up again for laughs as the producer of a new comedy horror sequel of his hit film LOVE AT FIRST BITE.
It has been 20 years since the movie star played Count Vladimir Dracula in the cult 1979 movie and now he’s back for more blood with a camp sequel called Batrimony: Love At Second Bite.
He tells WENN, "It’s terrific. It’s all about old world school of Dracula in the Bella Legosi 1940s up against the Twilight felons with humour. It’s hard to do but it’s great fun." And Hamilton thinks the time is perfect for another vampire movie spoof: "I think Twilight is a wonderful series of books. It’s so important for these young girls with hormonal changes and this love that’s worth giving your life for. But now I have a find a way to bring my Love At First Bite character into that kind of story and make it funny and not be at all like Twilight and I think I found a way to do that." And Batrimony isn’t the only film project Hamilton is working on - he’s also producing a movie about movie legend Errol Flynn’s son Sean, who was captured by the Khmer Rouge during the Vietnam War.
He adds, "It’s a wonderful story."
