Noel Gallagher On One Direction: They’re ‘F–king Idiots’
In case there was any doubt, Noel Gallagher isn’t a fan of One Direction.

The outspoken ex-Oasis rocker revealed his very candid thoughts about the boy-banders in a recent interview with British GQ, during which he called them “f–king idiots.”

“F–king idiots. Bless ’em. Bless ’em, but f–k ’em at the same time,” he said, calling their catalog “banal pop music.”

“Everybody’s winning out of it. One Direction aren’t working in the local f—ing Costcutter, so they’re winning,” he said. “The geezer who’s writing the f–king s–t tunes — he’s winning.

He doesn’t even have to leave the studio. He’s got f–king new houses coming out of his ear holes.The record company are winning ’cause they’re all getting their f–king bonuses at Christmas. The young 12-year-old girls are winning because one day they might actually grow up to give one of them a blow job.”

The X Factor is the biggest talent contest of them all. Every year hopes and dreams are made or broken, and it’s all thanks to you. And when it’s over, the champions release their winners’ single, of course, which is almost always a guaranteed instant Number 1.

But what happens when these brand-new popstars no longer have the backing of a show watched by millions?

SeSe, 22, was taken to hospital when she fell ill during rehearsals with her Miss Dynamix bandmates Jeanette Akua, 21, and Rielle Carrington, 16.

Speaking after her release from hospital, she said: “If I just give up, I’ll be left in my council flat ­struggling again and I still deserve a shot at a better life.

“In case some of you are ­misunderstood, it was nothing to do with me being pregnant.

“I had an anxiety attack and it’s happened a lot in my life. My baby’s fine, the heart rate is lovely. I just need to calm my nerves before performing”.
