Noel Gallagher Restrains His Mouth At GQ Awards... Almost

09/09/2010
. (Gibson) Noel Gallagher came armed with quips to the GQ Men of the Year Awards Tuesday night at London's Royal Opera House. The former Oasis guitarist was on hand to present Kinks frontman Ray Davies with the Outstanding Achievement award. Also on hand was Gallagher's former Britpop nemesis Damon Albarn, whose Gorillaz pocketed the Best Band award. Gallagher refused to take the bait when asked by The Sun about whether Albarn's animated project deserved the victory.

Said Gallagher, "Gorillaz definitely deserve some kind of award � if only for having 104 people on stage at Glastonbury. What a [expletive] rider that must've been to organize � more complicated than a Big Brother shopping list!"

Gallagher did take a potshot at Ryan Giggs, who won the Sportsman of the Year Award. The Manchester United midfielder took it on the chin from the die-hard Man City fan: "Giggsy-wiggsy? Sportsman of the Year? When you consider the gymnastics Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole and little Peter Crouch have been getting up to lately, that award was a bit of a sham." - more on this story
